ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the importance of the Meeting of Staff Officers from November 1951 to April 1952 during the Armistice Conference. This study analyzed the role of the Staff Officers Meeting and the achievements of the Staff Officers Meeting in the process of the Armistice Conference focusing on the third agenda. Existing research has only shown fragmentary results that the meeting of staff officers has helped conclude the armistice agreement. In addition, Existing research focus only on the decision process of the leadership in which the armistice agreement is concluded, or on the establishment of the second agenda military demarcation line and consultation on the fourth agenda prisoner. Discussions on the maritime area that were not resolved in the second agenda were also held in the third agenda. Moreover, when the issue of prisoners, the fourth agenda, was not solved, it was discussed in conjunction with the issue related to the third agenda. Discussions on the third agenda are important but have not been noticed. Especially, the Staff Officers Meeting played an important role in resolving the issues arising from the Third Agenda, but it did not draw attention. Of course, Stalin's death was the biggest reason for the resolution, but without the role of the Staff Officers Meeting, it would have taken longer for the armistice to be concluded even after Stalin's death or the completeness of the agreement would have been reduced. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, this study focuses on what the issues of the third agenda, what each other claimed, what they wanted, and how they solved the problem, focusing on the minutes of the armistice talks. As a result, the items that were at issue in the third agenda discussion were classified and the consensus area for each item was derived. And through constant meetings of UN and Communist delegations, it was found that the meeting of staff officers played an important role in the conclusion of the armistice agreement.
