The resolution of the 85 UN Security Council was approved at the 479th meeting of the committee on 31 July 1950 and instructed the commander of the UN force so that the Korean civilians who suffered the attack of the North Korean army, assist and provide humanitarian aid. The vote took place in the absence of the Soviet representative Jakow Malik , since the USSR had withdrawn its representative in the Council from January to August 1950 in protest against the failure to consider the People's Republic of China . The only abstention came from Yugoslavia .
More significant was the Resolution 84 of 7 July 1950, which the establishment of a more than half a million soldiers comprehensive UN force, formed with the participation of 22 countries and led by the United States , authorized after in already on June 25 Resolution 82 found that the North Korean attack on South Korea represented a breach of peace, so measures under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter were justified.
consequences
Resolution 84 was followed by the Korean War , which in 1953 after three years left behind a Korea that has been divided to the present day , around 900,000 soldiers killed and around 3,000,000 civilians killed. About 10% of the North Korean population were u. a. extinguished by area bombing using napalm . Before and during the war, numerous massacres of hundreds of thousands of civilians as proven or alleged communist supporters took place in South Korea with the tolerance of the US Army .
