UNC
what is UNC? and how is the military situation in South Korea?
The big feature of the Korean War was that for the first time in history, the UN took the lead in a war. But the key point is that although the name is the UN, in reality the hegemony of the UN was the United States. Nowadays, many countries are involved in the UN and voting takes place, but especially in the early days, the influence of the United States was very strong in the UN. (Even now, the United States exerts great influence at the center of power. Because the United States holds capital. 3 )
The United States' Command was able to act as if it were a United Nations military force under the name “United Nations Command” during Korean War and even now. In Korea, the UNC established the Northern Limit Line of South Korea and is still in charge of the rules of engagement. The UN Command is headed by the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
It should not happen, but if North Korea collapses or is occupied due to war, the governing body of North Korea is the UNC (a.k.a. the United States), due to the UNCURK(United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea)’s resolution on Oct 7th 1950.4 Additionally, the UNC can start a war in the Korean Peninsula right away without the need for any procedures. Therefore, I wish North Korea never collapses. Because it means high risk of future war between U.S. and Russia(&China) and death of Koreans.
