在中立国视察小组撤离后,朝鲜方面便认为中立国监察委员会仅是一个有名无实的机构。[10]1970年,一份美国军备控制与裁军署(Arms Control and Disarmament Agency)的报告中称中立国监察委员会的存在目的即是“为了监督朝韩两国对停战协定第13条(c)项及第13条(d)项等规定的履行;而该规定既已失其效力,委员会本身亦已无存续的理由”。[4]
捷克斯洛伐克的大型委员团于1953年8月经由空中运输或是铁路交通的方式抵达板门店,总人数共计300人。在委员会成立的最初四年内,捷克斯洛伐克方面约有500至600人参与会议。第一批捷克斯洛伐克委员团的故事被收录于《以中立国监察委员会捷克斯洛伐克委员团的视角看停战协定后的朝鲜半岛》(The Korean Peninsula after the Armistice as Seen by Czechoslovak Delegates to the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission)一书中[21]。该书中包含了250张由捷克委员团于1953年至1956年间拍摄的历史照片,另外还有四份由Seungju Hong、Jaroslav Olša,jr.、Gabriel Jonsson以及Alex Švamberkwhich等四人所撰写关于委员会早期历史的文献。这些照片当时被韩国及捷克媒体公开刊登于如韩国时报等报纸上。[22]

In order to justify the requirements for combat aircraft, armored vehicles, weapons, and ammunition to be introduced into Korea for replacement purposes, reports concerning every incoming shipment of these items shall be made to the MAC and the NNSC; such reports shall include statements regarding the disposition of the items being replaced. Items to be replace which are removed from Korea shall be removed only through the ports of entry enumerated in paragraph 43 hereof. The NNSC, through its Neutral Nations Inspection Teams, shall conduct supervision and inspection of the replacement of combat aircraft, armored vehicles, weapons, and ammunition authorized above, at the ports of entry enumerated in paragraph 43 hereof.
