On February 22.1952 North Korea, and on February
24 the People's Republic of China accused the US of waging
biological warfare by dropping from the air vectors
(carriers) of germs of infectious diseases.
The US representatives at the United Nations asked
for independent investigation by the International Red
Cross. This was refused and the IRC was called "a tool
of American aggression." The Conference of IRC in Toronto
in the summer of 1952 suggested to arrange a Special
Commission with Safe Conduct from the UN and North Korea
to investigate the allegations, This also was refused.
The General Secretary of the UN, Trygve Lie in
response to Communist claims of epidemics of infectious
diseases offered assistance of World Health Organization.
This was refused and WHO was called "a spy organization".
The Communist bloc organized their own Commissions.
The Chinese Commission was available for inspection
throughout the whole period of the alleged "bacterial
attacks". The International Scientific Commission arrived
in
Korea at the end of June 1952. They had information from
the Chinese Commission and investigated witnesses. Both
Commissions were friendly towards Communist ideology and
both Commissions declared that America was guilty.
As recently as in 1992 a prominent American
historian, John E.van Courtland Moon published a paper
about the case of biological warfare in Korea in the
Annales of the New York Academy of Science volume 666,
page 53 in which he wrote:"The historians can only
speculate why an outside investigation was not allowed to
Korea and China.
In 1995 I have published in Miltary Medicine
volume 160 page 97 a paper disputing the allegations
of biolgical warfare in Korea. I mentioned in the paper
information from two journalists :Tibor Meray from Hungary
and Lucjan Pracki from Poland who were in Korea from
August 1951 until September 1952.
New lead to the mystery
of biological warfare.
