Narasimhan oate:_=2=0_N=ov_,_e=mb=e:::.;r:......:l::.9~6:::.:1=---- Under-Secretary for Special Political Affairs FILE NO.: _____---.,. ___ _ FROM: ~· ~~ SUBJECT: UNCURK In response to your request for a summary of current developments with regard to UNCURK, for the information of the Secretary-General, the following is submitted.: 1. The major development is the visit to the United States of Chairman Park. As UNCURK had hoped, an announcement has been made regarding a measure of clemency w.l. th regard to some of the top officials of the former regime, including the former Prime Minister and 23 of his colleagues. The members of UNCURK had hoped that more extensive clemency measures would be taken, as these would have an important bearing on the supplementary report which the Commission intends to submit. Some 20 top officials, including the former Foreign Minister, Chyung Il Hyung, remain under arrest. 2. In its Annual Report, the Commission indicated the intention to comment on the treatment of members of the former regime in a supplementary report on this question as well as on progress towards democracy in Korea. ' The Commission hoped that Chairman Park would also make an announcement about future elections so that this point could also be included in the supplementary report. 3. The UNCURK' s plan at present is to have a working paper prepared by the Thai delegation and the Secretariat. It will cover recent developments in the Republic of Korea, including statements on the problem of reunification and the situation of political prisoners. While no date has been fixed for submission of the working paper, it is now understood that the supplementary report will be submitted in early December. Pending the reconvening of the full Commission, the Committee of UNCURK continues to meet in Seoul and follow current developments. 4. The only pending question is the enension of the assignment of Mr. Rezek, Economic Affairs Officer, until February 1962, and the appointment of his successor at that time.

At the meeting on 13 December o:f the First Committee o:f the United Nations General Assembly at its sixteenth session, the unjust resolution on the . "ccod.itiona.l" participation o:f representatives of' the Democratic People's Republic of' Korea in the discussion of the Korean question was again :forced through by the despic&ble maneuver of the United States. It is an unjustified and shameful act, entirely contrary to the principles of the United Natio~s, to attach any "conditions" to the participation of parties concerned in the discussion o:f any question at the United Nations. The Government of' the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has always respected and recognized the United Nations Charter designed :for international peace and security and has never viole.ted it. The main culprit is none other than the United States Government that has systematically and brazenly violated the United N~tions Charter and has continually impaired the authority of the United Nations. The Korean questio·o, which' is originally one of the questionssubject to post-war settlement, is by no means a question to be discussed at the United Nations. The purpose of' the United States Government in taking the Korean question to the United aations :for illegal discussion every year is to cover up with the United Nations emblem its criminal acts perpetrating aggression against Korea, obstructing the peacef'ul unification of Korea and converting South Korea into a colony and military base. The :fact that the United States has arbitrarily had a r epresentative of' the unlawful South Korean military :fascist regime take part in the discussion of the ~orean question at the current United Nations session constitutes a still more flagrant def'ilement of' the United Nations principles. The present military terrorists who, without any 11 lega.l11 State apparatus and under rigid martial law, have completely wiped out even elementary norms of democracy and dissolved with ~ayonets all political parties and soci al or ganizations , and who harshly suppress Gbe speech; arrest, imprison and massacre patriots and innocent populations at ~andom, and run amuck in their desperate efforts :for war preparations. Such a nilitary :fascist clique in South Korea cannot repr esent anyone of the Korean - .3 - Press Release PM/4125 19 December 1961 ' people, and fundamentally it cannot even be a~ o~ject to be dealt with by the United Nations. It is also a ~ockery of the United Nations Charter that the United States speaks about "unification of Korea 11 while continuing to station its aggressive troops in South Korea, exercising colonial rule over there and scheming to perpetuate the divisio.::l of Korea. Th.e question of the peaceful unification of Korea should be settled only b~ the Koreans themselves, compelling the United States troops to withdraw from South Korea. The Korean people consider that the United Nations should no longer be abused by the Unite~ States imperialists as their tool of aggression against Korea. Without the-participation of the representatives of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, any discussion of the Korean question is only futile. Since the Korean question is discussed at the United Nations, the representatives of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea must take part in it. The Gover~~ent of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will not recognize and will declare null and void any resolution to be adopted by the United Nations General Assembly at its unilateral discussion of the Korean question without the participation and consent of the representatives of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

  • JSP Vol 08 No 03-04 1969Dec
    • •/ A ot if** M Number 3 & 4 December 1969 Volume 8 DUPLICATING WITHOUT MAKING CARBON COPIES - Hal Wasserman - One of the fascinating features about stamp collecting is that a collector may collect whatever interests him. No matter what the catalogue may include or not in­ clude there is no law that says what the collector must have in his album. It is his own possession to build and expand as he chooses. It is only when the collector wishes to exhibit for competition that certain maxims come into play; then the collector loses some of the freedom he had before. Yet exhibiting need not enjoin a collector from remaining individualistic in his approach, nor does his collection have to be a carbon copy of other similar exhibita This is especially noticeable when viewing exhibits of Olympic Games stamps. Excluding the early Greek Olympic stamps, a collector would not find it too difficult or too expensive to put together a 'complete* collection of the basic stamps. How, then, can an enthusiast put his individual touch on his own exhibit except through a different type of mounting? In my opinion, there are enough unusual items on the philatelic marketplace that a collector could add for nearly every Olympiad, some expensive but many rather nominal in price, that would add sparkle to an exhibit. All of the items mentioned below are listed in various books and guides, in­ cluding Ira Seeoacher's Handbook of Sports Stamps. However, I would like to point out some of these that seem to be overlooked in many of the exhibits.

English-only policies are often seen as xenophobic and discriminatory. However, that may not be the case for South Korea’s Framework Act on Korean Language, which mandates the use of the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, for official documents by government institutions. Despite the resemblance between the Framework Act on Korean Language and English-only policies, the Framework Act should be understood differently than English-only policies because the Hangeul-only movement has an inverse history to English-only movements.
