Lie said at the opening of the session: "The report received by me
hostilities
from the (UN) Commission (in Korea), as well as reports from other
sources in Korea, make it plain that military actions have been
undertaken by North Korean forces. The present situation is a serious
one and is a threat to international peace. I consider it the clear
duty of the Security Council to take the steps necessary to re-
establish peace in that area."
Gross told the Council that the US had requested the emergency meeting
as a result of reports concerning the attack received from the US
ambassador in Korea. Gross said in part:
"This wholly illegal and unprovoked attack by the North Korean forces,
in the view of my Government , constitutes a breach of the peace and
an act of aggression. This is clearly a threat to international peace
and security. It is a threat which must inevitably be of grave
concern to the governments of all peace and freedom loving nations.
A full-scale attack is now going forward in Korea. It is an invasion
upon a state which the UN itself, by action of its General Assembly,
has brought into being. It is armed aggression against a Government
elected under UN supervision. Such an attack strikes at the funda-
mental purposes of the, UN Charter (and) openly defies the interest
and authority of the UN. Such an attack, thereforg, concerns the
vital interest which all the members of the UN have in the
organization.
Gross then presented a draft resolution noting the Security Council's
"grave concern (over) the armed invasion of the ROK by armed forces
from North Korea," and calling upon the "authorities in North Korea
to cease hostilities forthwith and to withdraw their armed forces to
the 38th parallel. 11 Several members of the Council objected to the
use of the term "invasion. It was also suggested that the cease-
fire order be directed at both sides rather than at North Korea
alone. These and other minor changes were accepted by the US, and
the resolution as amended was adopted by 9 to 0, with Yugoslavia
abstaining.
