Summary/Abstract: The essence of the phenomenon of the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission, established after the most gory and dangerous conflict of the time of bipolar division of the world is the very existence of the Commission, and attempts at stabilisation of the political and military situation in the Korean Peninsula. After many months of war between North and South Koreas, the line of the front stabilised along the 38th parallel, a line that is the border between the two Korean states to this day. The signing of the cease-fire on 27th July 1953 put an end to the armed conflict, which turned out to be the most blood-spattered episode of the Cold War. Two international commissions of neutral states were created to supervise compliance to the treaty. These were the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission (NNSC), with representatives of Poland, Channel Slovakia, Switzerland, and Sweden; and the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission (NNRC), whose members included the above-mentioned states and India.
