The International Control Commission (abbreviated ICC; French: Commission Internationale de Contrôle, or CIC), was an international force established in 1954.[3] More formally called the International Commission for Supervision and Control, the organisation was actually organised as three separate but interconnected bodies, one for each territory within the former French Indochina: the ICSC for Vietnam (being treated as a single state having two temporary administrations); the ICSC for Laos; and the ICSC for Cambodia.[4]

It oversaw the implementation of the Geneva Accords that ended the First Indochina War and brought about the Partition of Vietnam.[5] It monitored the observance of the ceasefires and noted any violations. The organization consisted of delegations of diplomats and military personnel from: Canada, Poland, and India, representing respectively the non-communist, communist, and non-aligned blocs. The ICC/ICSC started well, but the irreconcilable positions soon told, and the organisation became largely irrelevant in the face of an increasingly-active conflict. Nevertheless, it survived, as a communications link, until the Paris Accords were signed and it was replaced by the International Commission for Control and Supervision.
