The defense of Korea against the Nork and Chicom invasion was a United Nations operation. The Sov’s boycotted that Security Council meeting and thus could not veto. They haven’t made that mistake since. Back during the shooting war many nations sent troops to fight along side our guys and the South Koreans.

We fought the Korean War under the auspices of a United Nations security council mandate. Luckily, the Soviet Union was boycotting the security council because we wouldn’t allow the People’s Republic of China to have UN membership in lieu of Taiwan. It has been the UN command since then. So in both my tours there I was under the United Nations, as all allied soldiers have been since 1950, including my late father.
