245 _aFrom War to Intervention: The Korean war and the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission

520 _aIn the Korean War's contested aftermath, a Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission (1953-54) handled the thorny issue of Prisoners of War who did not want to return to their own countries. General KS Thimayya, former Indian Chief of Army Staff, oversaw this prisoner exchange and resettlement program. His account of these events pinpointed how warfare had fundamentally changed since the World War II. In Korea, it was in neither side's best, long-term, and ideological interest to outright defeat ,disarm, and occupy the other. Far from the unique, one-off experience it is so often portrayed, the Repatriation Commission showcased how the Korean War and its uneasy truce were a new type of international intervention, one where combatants sought victory without conquest.
