How To Solve The Korean Armistice Agreement

Improved Essays
Let’s see, the United Nations has had 64 years to resolve this issue. I SAY, we move their entire operation to North Korea, that way they won’t have so far to go to figure out what needs to be done. I’m willing to bet this issue will either be resolved the day after the move, or we will have finally got shed of that pesky group of criminals that can’t seem to get anything done.
The Korean Armistice Agreement was signed on July 27, 1953, and was designed to "insure a complete cessation of hostilities and of all acts of armed force in Korea until a final peaceful settlement is achieved. No final peaceful settlement" has ever been achieved.
So, technically we are at war!
The signed armistice established a “complete cessation of all hostilities

    The war that raged in Korea between 1950 and 1953 did not begin as a huge international conflict during the Cold War, but would eventually become that once the United States and other countries decided to get involved in the Korean Civil War (Office of the Historian). Korea, throughout its history, was owned by other countries. From 1910 until the end of World War II, Japan had control and influence of Korea as a whole. Because Japan was on the losing side of World War II, the future of Korea was in the hands of the Allies (Great Britain, Russia, and the United States were the major three). It was decided that with the surrender of the Japanese in Korea, the Soviet Union would accept the surrender above the 38th Parallel (a latitudinal line that crosses through Korea), while the United States would accept below the 38th Parallel.…

    This piece of legislation would further hurt North Koreans and anger the country as a whole and to push them away deeper into the communism plot. Feelings would continue to be hurt once the United States pulled out of the Armistice Agreement for the Restoration of the South Korean State (1953) or more specifically part 13(d) which declared that no part of Korea could bring in more weapons and trade to other sides and allies. This single handily pushed North Korea into a technological advancement frenzy where once they seized the USS Pueblo the North Korean army knew that they could successfully advance farther than Russia or…

    They Chose China was a documentary about the choices and lives of twenty-one soldiers that decided to live in China after the end of the Korean War.

To most in the United States, the armistice of the Korean War came as a surprise.…

    Even though an armistice was signed by both countries in July 1953, “A permanent peace treaty has never been signed” (Strother, 2013). Up until today, both the countries are having a tense relationship. With the advancement of nuclear weapons in North Korea, it is not impossible that a nuclear war might happen in the future. The ongoing war between the two countries has left the generation today to live in constant fear. This shows that the Korean War that happened 66 years ago is still a threat to the young generation…

    As can be seen, the Korean War did not follow the standard scenario of war: neither a declaration of war nor the winners can be found in this conflict. Moreover, Korean conflict is in fact still ongoing today since it never had a proper ending apart from a (perhaps temporarily) armistice signed in 1953 (Grunau, 2004, p. 100). Moreover, waging the conflict which offered questionable benefits in return for both the US and the PRC could significantly undermine the nations ' support of either of these two governments. Lawyer Arthur Larson who also served as a Director of the US Information Agency for a number of years believed that propaganda is one of the most dangerous and influential sources for sustaining the (military)…

    The Ignored North Korean Genocide The genocide in North Korea has been happening for decades, evidence of these camps has been traced back to the end of the Korean War in the 1950’s. Ever since the first reports of these labor camps, the U.N has done little to nothing to stop them as well as the death happening inside of them and that is why the genocide in North Korea is being ignored by the rest of the world. The things happening in North Korea have not been labeled officially as “genocide” by the United Nations, however studies from the United Nations have shown the terrible genocide-like acts that are being committed in North Korea. “A commission of Inquiry (COI) established by the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC), chaired by…

    North Korea can be seen as a child. They have a small nuclear stockpile, and are trying to show its power by testing missiles, then making claims of having powerful weapons, and suddenly, when North Korea doesn’t get their way, Kim Jong-un starts making threats of nuclear war. Now is the time for the United Nations to step in and do something. Korea was originally a part of the Japanese Empire. In November 1943, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-shek met at the Cairo Conference to discuss what should happen to Japan’s colonies, and agreed that Japan should lose all territories it had conquered by force.…
