UN General Assembly
1968

29. As has been shown in the fifteen years of its existence, UNCURK is no more than a provocation and propaganda agency at the service and under the control of the United States Government, its purpose being to perpetuate the artificial division of the Korean nation and to complete the colonialist absorption of the south of the country. There is only one Korean nation. It has existed as an independent entity for several centuries, long before the foundation of this Organization or the birth of the United States. The problem of the country’s unification is a domestic matter for Korea, and it is for the Korean people alone to solve it. Neither the United Nations nor anyone else has any right to intervene in the internal affairs of the Korean people. The fact that the Korean nation is still arbitrarily divided is due to the aggressive policy of United States imperialism.
