유엔 총회 결의 제112호

**유엔 총회 결의 제112호**는 1947년 11월에 통과된 한국에 인구비례의 자유선거로 총선거를 열기로 한 결의다.

## 상세
일제강점기 이후 미군정 시절 유엔 한국 임시위원단이 설립되어 한반도의 독립,통일, 그리고 발전 지원을 목적으로 설립되었다. 그러나 미소공동위원회에서 미국과 소련의 의견 및 입장 차이, 그리고 북한과 소련의 반대로 인하여 한반도에서 총선거 실시가 매우 어려운 상황이였다.

1948년 2월 유엔 소총회는 선거가 가능한 지역에서 총선을 하기로 결정했다. 이것을 한국 임시위원회가 3월에 승인하면서 남한에서는 5·10 총선거가 치러져 대한민국 정부가 수립됐다. 이에 선거를 거부하였던 북한 지역에서도 직접선거를 바탕으로, 흑백투표와 단독후보라는 비민주적인 방식을 이용하여 선거에 돌입하였다. 제1기 최고인민회의 대의원 선거를 통해서 남한지역에서는 남로당원에 의한 선거로 최고인민회의 대의원을 선출한 뒤 1948년 9월 9일 조선민주주의인민공화국을 수립했다.

1948년 12월 12일에 유엔 총회는 유엔 총회 결의 제195호로 대한민국 정부를 한반도의 인구 대부분을 차지하는 지역에서 선거로 수립된 합법정부이자 유일하게 그러한 정부로 승인하기로 결의했다. 해방 직후 한반도 전체인구는 대략 2천5백만 정도였는데 이중 당시 남한 지역은 한국 인구의 약 2/3을 차지했다. 오늘날에도 남한 인구가 5천만, 북한 인구가 2천 5백만명이라는 것을 보면, 여전히 남한은 2/3를,북한은 1/3을 차지하고 있다.

*Inasmuch as* the Korean question which is before the General Assembly is primarily a matter for the Korean people itself and concerns its freedom and independence, and

*The General Assembly*

1. *Resolves* that elected representatives of the Korean people be invited to take part in the consideration of the question;

2. *Further resolves* that in order to facilitate and expedite such participation and to observe that the Korean representatives are in fact duly elected by the Korean people and not mere appointees by military authorities in Korea, there be forthwith established a United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea, to be present in Korea, with right to travel, observe and consult throughout Korea.

*The General Assembly,*

*Recognizing* the urgent and rightful claims to independence of the people of Korea;

*Believing* that the national independence of Korea should be re-established and all occupying forces then withdrawn at the earliest practicable date;

The number of representatives from each voting area or zone should be proportionate to the population, and the elections should be under the observation of the Commission;
