Resolution 82 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on 25 June 1950. It condemned the "armed attack on the Republic of Korea by forces from North Korea", while calling for "the immediate cessation of hostilities" and for "the authorities in North Korea to withdraw forthwith their armed forces to the 38th parallel".[1] The measure was adopted with 9 voting for, none opposed, and one abstention by the Soviet Union, who was boycotting the UN at the time for its recognition of the Republic of China as China's representative to the organization.[2]
The Korean Peninsula had been divided along the 38th parallel north since the end of World War II between the occupation forces of the United States and the Soviet Union. Each sought to prop up a government on its side of the border, and as the Cold War began to take shape, tensions rose as a proxy conflict developed in Korea. This culminated in the North's invasion of the South on 25 June. Led by the US, the UN backed South Korea, considering it the only lawful government on the peninsula.
The resolution called on the North to immediately halt its invasion and to move its troops back to the 38th parallel. Seen as a diplomatic victory for the United States, the resolution was completely ignored by North Korea, who saw the involvement of the UN as merely a proxy for the Americans. The UN and the US then took further action that would set the stage for a massive international involvement and further escalation of the war, which ultimately saw millions of Koreans killed, China joining the war on the side of the North, and a years-long stalemate, during which the United States Air Force dropped hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs on the peninsula.
