The Korean War Amistic .

1953  ,  Korean  War  with   neither  side  able  to   claim  outright    victory should  be  peacefully   resolved  ,  not  to   be   another   Korean  War . 
        Uncle  Sam  should take  the   responsibity   which  is   his  own  making  upon  the   disputed  islands  between  China  and  Japan  in   1972 ,  transfering  the   Senkakus  together   with  Okinawa  to   Japanese  control  .   Please!  ,  dont't  make   a  mistake  signal  to  Japan  ,  to   flare  up  Sino-Japanese   war   again. 
        Potsdam  Declaration  should  not   be  deducted  . 

When the armistice was signed on 27 July 1953, talks had already dragged on for two years, ensnared in testy issues such as the exchange of prisoners of war and the location of a demarcation line.

Military commanders from China and North Korea signed the agreement on one side, with the US-led United Nations Command signing on behalf of the international community. South Korea was not a signatory.
The armistice was only ever intended as a temporary measure.
The document, signed by US Lieutenant General William K Harrison and his counterpart from the North's army, General Nam Il, said it was aimed at a ceasefire "until a final peaceful settlement is achieved".
However, that settlement never came, and a conference in Geneva in 1954 which was designed to thrash out a formal peace accord ended without agreement.
The armistice is still the only safeguard for peace on the Korean peninsula.
The agreement provided for:
  • A suspension of open hostilities
  • A fixed demarcation line with a four kilometre (2.4 mile) buffer zone - the so-called demilitarisation zone
  • A mechanism for the transfer of prisoners of war
Both sides pledged not to "execute any hostile act within, from, or against the demilitarised zone", or enter areas under control of the other.
The agreement also called for the establishment of the Military Armistice Commission (MAC) and other agencies to ensure the truce held.
The MAC, which comprises members from both sides, still meets regularly in the truce village of Panmunjom.
Despite the relative peace since the war ended, tensions remain high between the two Koreas, and their border remains the most heavily militarised frontier in the world.
