UN General Assembly
1968

14. The creation of a unified, independent and democratic Korea remains the objective of the United Nations. For two decades the realization of that objective has been blocked by the lawlessness of the Communist North. None the less, the Republic of Korea has achieved political stability in freedom and democracy, economic prosperity and social justice. The achievements of the Government of the Republic of Korea have been commended in the report of the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea year after year. 15. In recent months the North Korean authorities have stepped up their efforts to subvert, infiltrate and terrorize the Republic of Korea. Their declared intention is to impose Communist rule by force south of the 38th parallel, and their determination to keep the Korean peninsula in a high state of tension constitutes a serious threat to the peace.
