Abstract

83 (1950). Resolution of 27 June 1950
[S/1511]
The Security Council,

Having determined that the armed attack upon the Republic of Korea by forces from North Korea constitutes a
breach of the peace,
Having called for an immediate cessation of hostilities,
Having called upon the authorities in North Korea to withdraw forthwith their armed forces to the 38th parallel,
Having noted from the report of the United Nations Commission on Korea that the authorities in North Korea have
neither ceased hostilities nor withdrawn their armed forces to the 38th parallel, and that urgent military
measures are required to restore international peace and security,
Having noted the appeal from the Republic of Korea to the United Nations for immediate and effective steps to
secure peace and security.
Recommends that the Members of the United Nations furnish such assistance to the Republic of Korea as may be
necessary to repel the armed attack and to restore international peace and security in the area.
