Yakov Malik

Yakov Alexandrovich Malik (6 December 1906 - 11 February 1980) was a Ukrainian Soviet diplomat. Malik was the Soviet ambassador to the United Nations from 1948 to 1952, and from 1968 to 1972.

At the time of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 82 on June 25, 1950, Malik was boycotting the presence of the a Nationalist Chinese representative. His absence enabled the resolution to pass unanimously with a 9-0 vote.

On the floor of the United Nations on June 23, 1951, he proposed an armistice in the Korean War between China and North Korea on one hand, and South Korea, the United States, and other United Nations forces on the other.

Malik told U.S. delegates to the United Nations, apparently without sarcasm, that he wished the United States would invite the Soviet Union to join NATO because he feared it was beginning to become an issue between the two powers.
