UNTCOKとは 意味・読み方・使い方

UNTCOK, the United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea, was a body which was supposed to oversee free and fair elections in Korea after World War II. In Soviet-controlled North Korea, the body was not even recognized with the Soviets arguing that the commission would break earlier agreements known as the Moscow Accords. The Soviets also argued that it violated Articles 23 and 107 of the UN Charter. Article 23 requires that both sides of the dispute be consulted, but Korean representatives from north and south Korea were never invited to address the UN. Also, Article 107 denied jurisdiction to the UN over post-war settlement issues.
