Korea: A Republic of Korea soldier of the United Nations Command Security Battalion standing guard inside a Joint Security Area conference room, Panmunjom, 2007

The Joint Security Area (JSA) at Panmunjom is the only portion of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) where North and South Korean forces stand face-to-face.

The JSA is used by the two Koreas for diplomatic engagements and, until March 1991, was also the site of military negotiations between North Korea and the United Nations Command (UNC).
