Where there has been fighting or the threat of fighting since the
end of the Second World War, the United Nations has ahnost al ways
been involved. Frequently that involvement has taken the concrete
form of a field commission or a team of observers, made up of
nationals of several countries and reporting to the General
Assembly or the Security Council. Even while I write this, military
observers wearing special United Nations insignia are patrolling
the border areas of Syria and Lebanon. Meanwhile, observation
groups with a longer history are on duty in Kashmir and along the
Israeli borders. A field commission of the United Nations still
remains in Korea, and others had been at work in Greece, Eritrea,
Somalia and on the Hungarian border. All of them lived, worked and
reported in an atmosphere of controversy. Perhaps none could have
claimed that their work ended in full success. Their existence,
however, suggests that the United Nations has developed a special
political instrument for use in troubled areas where solutions are
elusive but where danger of a spreading con flict is never distant.
This study deals with the work of field com missions of the United
Nations in Korea before the violence of 1950. Their work, whatever
its merit, came crashing down with the North Korean attack."
