The Korean Armistice Agreement is an armistice that brought about a cessation of hostilities in the Korean War. It was signed by United States Army Lieutenant General William Harrison Jr. and General Mark W. Clark for the United Nations Command, by North Korean leader Kim Il Sung and General Nam Il for the Korean People's Army, and by Peng Dehuai for the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. It was signed on 27 July 1953 and took effect at 22:00 local time the same day, intended to ensure a complete cessation of hostilities in Korea until a final peaceful settlement could be reached.
