Prospects Fade for UN Action on Korean War
At the United Nations General Assembly opening in New York on February 21 1951 prospects faded for dramatic Western proposals on Korea.

He recalled the UN embargo on arms and materials against the aggressors and cautioned against rushing to new actions. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr urged private assurances to allies, easing fears of a naval blockade or tighter embargo.
