1951년 유엔묘지 전몰장병 헌정식 - 1950~1951년 임시 유엔묘지의 통합에서 헌정식에 이르는 과정 고찰 - = Dedication Ceremony of the UN Cemetery During the Korean War, 1951 - A Study on the Integration Process from Temporary UN Cemeteries 1950~1951 to the Dedication -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

2021 marks the 70th anniversary of establishing the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Korea (UNMCK), the official cemetery of UN soldiers who participated in the Korean War. As these monumental events intersect, it would be timely to re-examine the status of the UNMCK and reflect on the historical implications of the place.
This research explores the integration progress of temporary UN graveyards scattered on the Korean Peninsula from July 1950 to the completion of the Tanggok UN Cemetery in April 1951. I attempted to examine the aspect of the dedication ceremony of the UN Cemetery held on April 6, 1951, which has not been thoroughly investigated in the existing literature. Notably, this study looks into unreleased historical documents and video materials conducted through multi-archival surveys.
The study thus seeks to fill the research gap of the UN graveyards in the 1950s and expand the scope of academic discourse. Considering that the UN Memorial Cemetery is one of the major components of the “War-time Capital Busan Heritage” in Busan in preparation for the UNESCO’s World Heritage listing in the 2030s, this study is expected to be vital for World Heritage listing. This research will also play a consolidating role for the future-oriented relationship between Korea and the UN allied nations in 2021, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the construction of the UN Cemetery.
