Meeting convened at 1030 hours

KPA/CPV:

I called today's meeting to settle through negotiation

the violations of the Armistice Agreement committed by your

side lately.

At approximately 1055 hours our time on May 15, 1961,

two F-86 military jet aircraft of your side flew across the

Han River Estuary to invade the air space over the vicinity

of RYUNGJUNG-RI, 37 degrees 48 minutes 30 seconds North,

126 degrees 31 minutes 40 seconds East in the territory

under the military control of our side. Then those aircraft

.eering to the northeast, penetrated into as far as the air

over the vicinity of YUNISAN, 37 degrees 50 minutes 20

seconds North, 126 degrees 38 minutes 20 seconds East of our

side and carried out aerial reconnaissance circling at a

low altitude the air above the same area. And at about

1059 hours our time~ changing their course to the southeast,

they flew away in the direction of ODOO-SAN, 37 degrees 46

minutes 10 seconds North, 126 degrees 40 minutes 40 seconds

East of your side.

At the l40th meeting of the Military Armistice Commissior.

held on April 22 last, the Senior Member of your side stated

tbet~ QUOTE proper action has been taken UNQUOTE as pre­

scribed by the Armistice Agreement, admitting the air

violation by your side which had occurred on April 20. But

KPA/CPV: (CONTDl

a similar air violation occurred again in less than a month

after that.

I have been ordered by the Senior Member of our side

to enter a serious protest with your side against its

hostile acts committed by dispatching unceasingly its

military aircraft into the air space over our territory in

violation of Paragraph 16 of the Armistice Agreement.

Furthermore, I demand strongly that your side punish

severely in accordance with the terms of the Armistice

Agreement all of your personnel who have committed those

violations of the Armistice Agreement and that your side

take thorough-going steps to prevent a recurrence of

similar violations of the Agreement in the future.

UNC:

In answer to your charge of an air violation, I have

this statement to make:

During the morning of 15 May 1961, two United Nations

Command aircraft crossed the Han River Estuary through

error and flew a short distance over territory under the

military control of your side. These aircraft had no

hostile intent and when the pilots realized their mistake,

they immediately withdrew to the south.

The United Nations Command regrets this unintentional

violation and has already taken appropriate action in

accordance with the Armistice Agreement.

KPA/CPV:

While admitting its own air violation now, you explain

it away saying as if it had been caused through an error.

The hostile act of your side dispatching its military air­

craft to the territorial air of our side in violation of

the Armistice Agreement is not due to any error but it is

a planned and deliberate act aimed at conducting reconnais­

sance for the purpose of preparing for a new war.

KPA/CPV: (CONTO)

This 1s in no way the first time for you to resort to

such a shameless practice in order to cover up your guilt.

Your side has incessantly committed provocative hostile

acts against our side in flagrant infringement of Paragraph

16 of the Armistice Agreement that prescribe~ that the air

space of the opposing side must be respected,

Flatly condemning the shameless machination of your

side, I firmly demand that your side severely punish in

accordance with Sub-paragraph l3e of the Armistice Agreement

all of your personnel involved in the recent aggressive

operation and take thorough action to prevent a recurrence

of similar violations of the Agreement.

I go to another violation by your side of the Armistice

Agreement.

It is presoribed in Paragraph 15 of the Armistice Agree­

ment that both sides QUOTE shall respect the waters con­

tiguous to the Demilitarized Zone and to the land area of

Korea under the military control of the opposing side and

shall not engage in blockade of any kind of Korea. UNQUOTE

This notwithstanding, your sub-chaser number 706 again

recently intruded into the coastal waters of our side on

two occasions.

That is, around 1200 hours our time on May 10, 1961,

the aforesaid sub-chaser number 706 of your side illegally

crossed the extension of the Military Demarcation Line and

around 1255 hours our time intruded as far as into the

vicinity of 38 degrees 40 minutes North, 128 degrees 33

minutes East in our coastal waters. And around 0140 hours

our time on May 18, 1961, she again intruded into the

waters of our side in the vicinity of 38 degrees 39 minutes

North, 128 degrees 26 minutes East.

Our side has already lodged protests on several occasion,'

with your side against the sea 1ntrusions frequently

committed by your side, particularly from the beginning of

this year. and repeatedly demanded your side to stop such

provocations. In disregard of this fact, however, your

side has again recently committed similar violations of

the Armistice Agreement.

I have been instructed by the Senior Member of our

side to lodge a serious protest with your side against the

fact that your side has incessantly dispatched its naval

craft into the coastal waters of our side to commit

provocative and hostile acts in violation of Paragraph 15

of the Armistice Agreement.

At the same time, I demand that your side severely

punish all of the personnel of your side involved in the

recent provocations oommitted at sea as required by the

Armistice Agreement and take thorough measures to prevent

a recurrence of similar sea intrusions in the future.

!:ll'iQ.:

With regard to your comments concerning the air

violation, I have already stated that appropriate measures

have been taken.

The United Nations Command does not send aircraft over

the territory of your side with hostile intent. The United

Nations Command respects the letter and spirit of the

Armistice Agreement to cease all hostile acts. The charge

of your side against the United Nations Command has been

answered. Your further reiteration of it is purely for

propaganda purposes.

The United Nations Command is always faithful to

investigate promptly and thoroughly all alleged violations

of the Armistice Agreement charged by your side. Based on

the results of the investigation, the allegation 1s admitted

or denied according to the evidence. The great majority of

the violations charged by your side are discovered to be

Page 5: UNITED NATIONS COMMAND MILITARY ARMISTICE … Meetings/MACS0234_25_May_1961.pdf · they flew away in the direction of ODOO-SAN, 37 . degrees . 46 . minutes 10 seconds North, 126 degrees

UNC: (CONTD}

pure conjecture and a crude attempt to slander the United

Nations Command. Occasionally, an inadvertant violation

occurs, and it is admitted frankly.

This is in great contrast to the insincere attitude

of your side. The United Nations Command has charged your

side with 83 air violations, and all have been denied, most

of them without any pretense of an investigat1on~

I will point out again that your recent air violations

are well known to you and to the many persons who observed

these flagrant violations. Your denial of these v1olations

shows how your side has no regard for the truth,

with regard to your eharges of alleged naval ~iolations,

these are undoubtedly more fabrications intended to bUild­

up your list of unfounded charges to be used for propaganda

purposes. However, your charges will be investigated as

called for in the Armistice Agreement.

I now call your attention to another flagrant violation

of the Armistice Agreement by your side.

At about 2120 hours, Korean Standard Time, on 17 May

1961, a vessel of your side moved south of an eastward

extension of the Military Demarcation Line at high speed

into the waters contiguous to the territory of our side.

The vessel continued south toward the land area of our side

in an obvious attempt to land agents of your side.

This hostile activity of your side was frustrated by

a patrol boat of our side at a position in the vicinity of

38 degrees 27 minutes 45 seconds North, 128 degrees 31

minutes 30 seconds East, many miles south of the eastward

extension of the Military Demarcation Line in the territorial

waters of our side. The vessel of your side, finding itself

unable to complete its mission, fled north at high speed

along the coast into the waters contiguous to the territory

of your side.

UNC: (CONTO)

This hostile act of intruding into the waters contiguous

to the territory under control of our side to land agents

in southern Korea is strongly protested.

Your side is reminded that the Armistice Agreement

requires naval forces of both sides to respect the waters

contiguous to the land area under the military control of

the other side.

The Armistice Agreement requires your side to investi­

gate this violation, report to the Military Armistice

Commission and to punish those responsible.

KPA/CPV:

The so-called QUOTE sincerity UNQUOTE toward the

Armistice Agreement on which your side has customarily

harped is out-and-out hypocrisy.

It is impossible for you, therefore. to cover up the

disgraceful crime of your side or deceive the public however

often you may talk about your side's ~UOTE sincerity UNQUOTE

toward the Armistice Agreement.

The hostile act of your side illegally dispatching its

military aircraft into the territorial air of our side to

conduct aerial reconnaissance over our side constitutes the

disruption and infringement of the Armistice Agreement.

I again demand that, deSisting from absurd empty words,

your side take practical measures to cease forthwith the

provocative and hostile act of dispatching its military

aircraft into the territorial air of our side.

Your side has just expressed its intention to QUOTE

conduct an investigation UNQUOTE into the intrusion by the

naval craft of your side while arraying such nonsensical

words as QUOTE fabrication UNQUOTE and QUOTE propaganda.

UNQUOTE This is an inexcusable proof that the alleged

investigation you will conduct will be the same one as was

made insincerely and irresponsibly in the past for the

purpose of covering up its crimes.

KPA/CPV: ~CONTD)

Such an impudent attempt of your side can hardly be

tolerated.

I strongly demand that your side conduct not such an

investigation into the incident as it made before following

its customary practice with the intention of flatly denying

the glaring facts proceeding from what is called a consistent

position, but an honest investigation so as to severely

punish as required by the terms of the Armistice Agreement

those of your personnel involved and take positive action to

prevent a recurrence of similar hostilities.

All the records of the proceedings of the past meetings

prove clearly that your side has slandered and charged our

side with groundless incidents fabricated by your side in

an attempt to mislead the unbiased public opinion whenever

it was driven into an awkward position by the exposure of the

grave Violations by your side of the Armistice Agreement.

Our side which has always been faithful to the Armistice

Agreement, however, will comment on the charge after making

an investigation into it.

I have a statement to make on another subject.

At about 1500 hours our time on May 8, 1961, 10 military

personnel of your side intruded into our portion of the

Demilitarized Zone crossing the Military Demarcation Line

in the vicinity of 38 degrees 19 minutes 45 seconds North,

127 degrees 24 minutes 00 seconds East.

After crossing the Military Demarcation Line, they

marched farther surreptitiously in our portion watching

carefully around them, and when they encountered the civil

police of our side who had been on routine patrol mission

in the vicinity of 38 degrees 20 minutes 10 seconds North,

127 degrees 23 minutes 50 seconds East, they fled pell-mell

at about 1510 hours our time.

And on May 9, 1961, the following day, at about 0835

hours our time, 3 armed personnel of your side appearing in

the vicinity of 37 degrees 49 minutes 50 seconds North,

126 degrees 41 minutes 35 seconds East, fired 2 shots

toward the vicinity of 37 degrees 50 minutes 18 seconds

North, 126 degrees 41 minutes 00 seconds East in our portion.

of the Demilitarized Zone.

As mentioned-above, your side had your military

personnel trespass upon our territory collectively for the

purpose of committing hostile acts against our side and

fired arms toward our side, thereby violating the Preamble

and Paragraphs 6, 7, 12, 14 and 17 of the Armistice Agreement

These violations by your side of the Armistice Agreeoent

constitute a malicious challenge designed to intensify

tensions in Korea further and to cause serious trouble

between both sides.

I have been instructed by the Senior Member of our

side to lodge a vigorous protest with your side against

these hostile and provocative acts continually committed

against our side in disregard of our repetitive warnings

and protests.

At the same time, I demand that your side punish

severely as required by the Armistice Agreement all of your

personnel involved in the recent violations and take

responsible action to prevent a recurrence of similar

violations of the Agreement in the future.

!:lliQ.:

Your charges of alleged ground violations in the DMZ

will be investigated in accordance with the terms of the

Armistice Agreement.

I now speak of another vicious attack by your side

directed against Korean people going about their peaceful

occupation.

At about 0200 bours, Korean Standard Time, on 20 May

1961. a peaceful fishing boat of our side was viciously

fired upon by armed vessels of your side when it became

disoriented and sailed into the waters contiguous to the

territory under the military control of your side in the

vicinity of 37 degrees 44 minutes North, 125 degrees 40

minutes 45 seconds East. The armed vessels of your side

attempted to capture the fishing boat or force it to land on

an island under the military control of your side, but

failing in this attempt, they subjected the fishing boat to

heavy fire as it sought to return to the south.

This unprovoked attack is strongly protested.

The United Nations Command demands that your side

cease these hostile violations of the cease-fire provisions

of the Armistice Agreement, investigate this charge and

punish those responsible.

KPA/CPV:

I have noted your statement that your side will conduct

investigations into the hostile acts of your personnel

brought up by our side.

Your side has again today hurled unfounded slanders

and charges against our side which has consistently and

strictly been complying with the Armistice Agreement in a

vain attempt to cover up the serious violations of the

Agreement your side has committed incessantly on land, at

sea, and in the air.

Whatever unfounded charges you may level against our

Side with your veins swelling in your neck, you can never

cover up your true colors as the violators of the Armistice

Agreement and the aggressor as it is impossible to conceal

a gimlet in a sack.

Our side will comment on your charge after making

investigation into it as we have done in the past.

I go to yet another subject.

At the 23lst Secretaries' meeting held on March 18,

1961 and at the 233rd Secretaries' meeting held on April

26, 1961, your side submitted the QUOTE lists of violations

UNQUOTE allegedly committed by personnel of our side.

And your side also charged our side at the 232nd

Secretaries' meeting held on April 7, 1961, alleging that

an airplane of our side had flown over south Korea.

Our Side meantime has conducted thorough investigatio~~

into the above-mentioned charges made by your side and, as

a result, has come to a definite conclusion that all of the

said charges made by your side are out-and-out fabrications

with no factual basis whatsoever like those made earlier.

Your absurd charges are therefore denied categorically.

It is completely in contradiction to the spirit and

the requirement of the Armistice Agreement for your side to

trump-up groundless incidents to slander and charge our

side which has consistently been faithful in implementing

the Armistice Agreement, instead of taking effective

measures for stopping violations of the Armistice Agreement

committed in succession by the personnel of your side.

It is precisely this unjustified attitude of your side

that has been the cause of the violations of the Armistice

Agreement committed by your personnel one after another.

The violations of the rules for the control and maintenance

of the Demilitarized Zone committed by the personnel of your

side from April 2nd to May 8th, 1961 alone amount to as

many as 41 cases.

For the convenience of your side in conducting investi­

gations into them, I hand your side two copies each of

Korean and English versions of the list of violations.

Despite the fact that the violations by your personnel

of the rules for the control and maintenance of the

Demilitarized Zone have been djs0ussed at almost every

KPA/CPV: (CONTD)

Secretaries meeting held recently, your side continues

perpetrating the same sorts of violations. I have been

instructed by the Senior Member of our side to lodge pro­

tests with your side against this.

At the same time, I demand that your side strictly

punish the violators of the Armistice Agreement and the

Agreements and Unde~standings between both sides in

accordance with Sub-paragraph 13e of the Armistice Agreement

and take responsible measures to prevent a recurrence of

such violations in the future.

ill:ffi:

Your talk about your side being always faithful to the

Armistice Agreement is recognized for what it 1s - a pure

fabrication. It is easily recognized that the policy of

your political bosses forbids you from ever admitting any

violation, never mind how obvious it is to any observer.

This shows the nature of the statements you are required

to read - they have no relation to the truth.

I now place before you a list of 58 violations committed

by your side in the Demilitarized Zone during the period

22 April through 21 May 1961.

The United Nations Command demands that your side make

a complete investigation of these violations and institute

positive measures to prevent their recurrence.

KPA/CPV:

As I have already stated, the charges made by your side

are lies invented for the sole purpose of slandering our

side.

Whatever subterfuge you may employ, you can neither

mislead the unbiased public opinion nor defame our side

which has invariably and strictly observed the Armistice

Agreement.

By indulging itself in casting groundless slanders

and vituperations at the other side. your side has only

exposed unwittingly that the charges it made were out-and­

out fabrications.

I demand that your side desist from the unwarrantable

attitude and from such despicable conduct as to slander the

other side at random.

Investigations will be made into the list passed by

your side now.

You have been in such a hurry trying to cover up the

guilt of your side that you have forgotten even the matter

which has been offered by oUr side.

Will your side make investigations into the violations

by your personnel of the rules for the control and mainte"

naboe of the Demilitarized Zone?

1lli.Q :

The charges of alleged violations made by your side

will be investigated,

KPA/CPV:

I have noted your statement that your side will conduct

investigations into the violations by your personnel of the

rUles for control and maintenance of the Demilitarized Zone.

Has your side anything further to offer for discussion?

UNC:-On 26 April at the 233rd Secretaries' meeting, your

side charged the United Nations Command with three ground

violations in the Demilitarized Zone.

These alleged Violations have been carefully investigated

in accordance with the spirit and letter of the Armistice

Agreement and have been found utterly devoid of fact, and

are therefore denied.

By willfully making such false charges, it is obvious

that your side again has attempted to defame the United

Nations Command and to increase tension in Korea.

When will your side begin upholding the true spirit of

the Armistice Agreement?

I have no further bUsiness for this meeting and propose

we recess.

KPA/CPV:

It is universally known that those who are responsible

for intensifying tension and creating a bellicose atmosphere

in Korea are no other than you who continue to perpetrate

provocative hostilities against our side flourishing in

south Korea various new type weapons including atomic

weapons and guided missiles.

It was confirmed beyond doubt by our personnel in the

field that your side had fired arms toward our side in the

Demilitarized Zone.

How can you try to deny these glaring facts?

However unconditionally you may deny those hard facts

at this table, your side cannot lighten its guilt nor can

it shirk the responsibility for it.

Your side should discard its improper attitude, punish

those personnel involved, and take thorough measures to

prevent a recurrence of similar incidents in the future.

I agree to your proposal to recess.

Meeting recessed at 1250 hours.
