DMZ is a buffer zone to prevent
an armed conflict after the armistice agreement.
There is some restrictions on troops staying,
weapon disposition, and military installation
in DMZ. Once DMZ has been established, what it
has already had should be removed. DMZ of Korea
is established on 27 July, 1953 in accordance
with ¡®The Armistice Agreement about military truce
of Korea¡¯. It is 248km long and 2km width on each
side, south and north. From the law point of view,
DMZ is essentially under the control of an international
law. Therefore, it is supervised by the organization
that is founded by the international law. |
| DMZ, a neutral zone, is composed
of 4 elements regardless of its name as follows:
demilitarization, certain buffer zone, isolation
of military power (troop disposition), and a supervisory
organization. |

| Where DMZ exists is described clearly
in the first article, the Military Demarcation Line
and DMZ of the Armistice Agreement. The first signboard
of the Military Demarcation Line, 0001, was established
along Imjin River and the last one, 1292 was set
up at Dongho-ri of the east coast. It reaches 248km(155mile)
on the ground and 200km on the west coast. |
The size of DMZ is 907§´
long which is one 25ths of the gross area
of the Korean Peninsula,
22000§´. |
|
| Civilian control line is 5~20km south of the Military
Demarcation Line and the gross area is 1,528km2.
The commander of the 8th U.S. Army Corps established
it in Feb., 1954 for convenience of control. The
area is not the place for residence or business
and entering of civilian is prohibited. |
