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.
