Armistice Supervision Plans Are Conflicting
In Munsan Korea on November 27, truce negotiators signed a cease-fire line and split on how to supervise the armistice. The United Nations pressed for joint Allied Communist inspection teams with wide access and for a ban on military buildups, while the Communists offered a different approach. The five-man teams also approved a buffer zone and a provisional cease-fire line if an overall agreement is reached within 30 days, but full agreement hinges on supervision, prisoner exchange, and governmental recommendations.
