Abstract

The United Nations peacekeeping operations aim to assist countries in maintaining peace and security, as well as providing assistance in political aspects, supporting the rule of law, and the return of displaced persons and refugees. The Korean issue attracted the attention of world public opinion after the end of World War II, and became a subject of intervention by many major countries, due to the overlapping of their political and economic interests in it on the one hand, or in the Asian region in general on the other hand, and due to the direct connection of this issue with major Asian countries. Since the outbreak of the Korean War (1950-1953), major countries have sought, through their participation in the United Nations and their participation in many of its committees on the Korean issue, to find peace solutions in it, to find peaceful solutions that represent the aspirations of the Korean people in accordance with the principles of the United Nations. Peacekeeping forces played a major role in disengaging the two Koreas and supporting peace. The Korean Peninsula, after its division following the North Korean attacks on the South in 1950, was plagued by conflict and tension for decades due to the belief of the North that they had the right to own Korean land, which prompted the United Nations and the Security Council to send foreign forces to end the civil war on the Korean Peninsula, which ultimately led to its division into the South and North.
