Gromyko (4 July 1950) The events now taking place in Korea broke out on June 25 as the result of a provocative attack by the troops of the South Korean authorities on the frontier areas of the Korean People’s Democratic Republic. This attack was the outcome of a premeditated plan. From time to time Syngman Rhee himself and other representatives of the South Korean authorities had blurted out the fact that the South Korean Syngman Rhee clique had such a plan. As long ago as October 7, 1949, Syngman Rhee, boasting of success in training his army, stated outright, in an interview given to an American United Press correspondent, that the South Korean Army could capture Pyongyang in the course of three days. On October 31, 1949, Sin Sen Mo, Defence Minister of the Syngman Rhee Government, also told newspaper correspondents that the South Korean troops were strong enough to act and take Pyongyang within a few days.

The Convention entered into force on 12 January 1951 in accordance with its article XIII. 2. By its resolution 441156 of 15 December 1990, the General Assembly expressed its conviction that implementation of the provisions of the Convention by all States was necessary for the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide, urged those States which had not yet become parties to the Convention to ratify it or accede thereto without further delay, and invited the Secretary-General to submit to it at its forty-fifth session a report on the status of the Convention. 3. By its resolution 1990119 of 23 February 1990, the Commission on Human Rights strongly condemned once again the crime of genocide, affirmed the necessity of international co-operation in order to liberate humankind from that odious crime and urged those States that had not yet become parties to the Convention to ratify it or accede thereto without further delay. 4.
