A Forgotten Mission after a “Forgotten War”: the Czechoslovak Delegation to the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission in Korea (1953-1954)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The presentation will concentrate on the Czechoslovak delegation to the NNRC, particularly on its establishment, personnel structure, the instructions it received, its relations with China and North Korea on one side and with India and Sweden and Switzerland on the other, and on its contribution to the common task of the commission. Primary attention will be paid to the ideological aspects of the larger context of the situation as well as to the ideological and political approaches of the Czechoslovak delegation in everyday activities. Unlike the delegation to the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission, the Czechoslovak Repatriation delegation consisted of only about fifty persons. Its operations in Korea lasted only seven months, yet it dealt with an immense amount of humanitarian problems related to the repatriation of dozens of thousands of prisoners of war. Finally, I will argue with an opinion that the two Czechoslovak delegations assigned to Korea raised the prestige of Czechoslovakia and opened a path to Czech participation in the peace missions in Iraq, Kosovo, and Afghanistan nowadays.
