Appendix XVII(a) The Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission’s<br />

Unanimous Declaration<br />

On the 12th of January 1993 the NNSC has received an official, oral message -<br />

delivered by a representative from KPA - according to which a decision has been<br />

taken by DPRK concerning the withdrawal of the Czech delegate from the commission<br />

as soon as practically possible. Referring to Armistice Agreement §37, the<br />

NNSC is of the unanimous opinion that the commission shall be composed of four<br />

(4) neutral senior officers representing four (4) neutral nations. Therefore, respecting<br />

the spirit of the Armistice Agreement, if - for some reason - one of the delegates/<br />

nations is excluded from the commission the exclusion could not be effective until<br />

the date when a new delegate/nation is assigned to replace the former one in<br />

agreement between those who have signed the Armistice Agreement.<br />

As long as the replacement of the delegate representing the former Czechoslovakia<br />

has not been accepted by both sides and has not been practically implemented<br />

NNSC will - according to the Armistice Agreement and the rules of procedure of<br />

the commission - continue to fulfil its duties and mission accepting the decision of<br />

an agreement between the government of the Czech Republic and the government<br />

of the Slovak Republic that the Czech Republic becomes successor state of the<br />

Czech and Slovak Federal Republic in the NNSC in Korea on 1 January 1993.<br />

The commission is of the firm opinion that above mentioned fulfilment of its<br />

mission and duties could and should be carried out even if - for some reason - one<br />

of the delegates or representative for him is absent during the meetings etc.<br />
