The original task of the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission (NNSC) has changed over the years and NNSC should also be ready to undertake new missions.
The task today can be described as maintaining the validity of the truce mechanism with the aid of a Swedish and Swiss presence in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea. NNSC has ongoing contact with the south side – United Nations Command. There is currently no contact with the north side.
