This is the only conflict in which the United Nations went to war. It was possible because the Soviet Union, which supported the North Koreans, and had Veto Power in the UN Security Council, had been boycotting the UN over the awarding of a Permanent Seat on the Security Council to Taiwan instead of The Peoples Republic of China. An emergency meeting of the Security Council was summoned in the hours immediately after the invasion of South Korea by North Korea. United Nations Security Council Resolution 82, condemning the North Korean aggression was passed unanimously, and the Soviet Union was not there to veto the resolution.

The war was called a "Police Action" so that the United States wouldn't have to declare war.
