United Nations Commission on Korea
(Redirected from )
The UN Commission on Korea (UNCOK) was established in 1948 by the United Nations to deal with Korea. After the Second World War the peninsula had been divided between a Soviet occupied north and a non-communist south. The goal of UNCOK was to arrange for a withdrawal of foreign troops and a peaceful reunification of peninsula. With the outbreak of the Korean War it was replaced with the United Nations Command.
