UN General Assembly
1953

4. The war went on for over three years, causing innumerable casualties and creating the danger of grave international difficulties and even of another world war. The signing of the Korean armistice has to a certain extent helped to relieve the tension in international relations, in spite of all the resistance and opposition of those reactionary forces which, by means of acts of provocation of the kind employed in Korea and Germany, have sought to increase such tension, to create still more international complications, to test the strength of fascist organizations, and to extend subversive action against the peoples’ democracies and the Soviet Union.
