South korea preamble

The Korean legislative system consists of the Constitution as the paramount law, Acts for realizing the constitutional values, and administrative legislation including Presidential Decrees, Ordinances of the Prime Minister, Ordinances of the Ministries and so forth for effectively enforcing the Acts. Since Korean statutes form a specified hierarchy, subordinate statutes enacted under powers delegated by Acts or for enforcing Acts shall not be in contradiction to such Acts. Categories of Statutes Constitution The Constitution, as the paramount law, stipulates fundamental matters pertaining to the rights and duties of the people, structures of the Government, economic order, management of elections, etc. The Constitution serves as the standard and legal basis for enacting and amending all the subordinate statutes of the Republic of Korea. If an Act, Presidential Decree or any other statute is deemed in violation of the Constitution, the Constitutional Court makes a decision on unconstitutionality of the relevant statute by referring to the provisions and preamble of the Constitution and interpreting the basic constitutional notions. Acts Acts are statutory instruments enacted by the National Assembly that is the basis for the principles of legality and legislated taxation, the requirements for acquiring Korean nationality, expropriation and indemnity of property rights, the establishment of Ministries, the categories of local governments, etc. The right or freedom of the peo...

February 18, 2019 The Planning Committee of the Japan Institute for National Fundamentals has asked me to make a comment on the South Korean National Assembly speaker’s call for the Japanese emperor to apologize over the comfort women issue. However, I would like to point out an even more important fact. The preamble of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea says: “We, the people of Korea, proud of a resplendent history and traditions dating from time immemorial, upholding the cause of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea born of the March First Independence Movement of 1919…” This means that today’s South Korea upholds the legitimacy of the Korean Empire established in 1897 and views Japan’s rule of Korea from 1910 to 1945 as illegal or legally invalid. Historical perception representing a great fiction However, the historical perception that simply describes South Korea’s national identity represents a great fiction. As told by history, the Japanese Empire’s annexation of the Korean Empire was deemed legal, while no country recognized the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. The Republic of Korea government was created in August 1948 after the Japanese rule and the Allied Forces’ rule. Nevertheless, the preamble provides the ground for South Koreans to describe the period of Japan’s rule as “the Japanese forced occupation period” and represents a historical view that has authorized the South Korean Supreme Court to order Japanese companies t...

South Korea The Biden administration has sought to manage South Korea’s interest in both South Korea’s Strategic Command aims to enhance the country’s nonnuclear strategic deterrence in different ways. First, it seeks to bolster deterrence by denial — to deter North Korea’s nuclear and unconventional threats by making them infeasible or unlikely to succeed. The goal is to undermine North Korean confidence that it can achieve its objectives through nuclear coercion. Second, Strategic Command would enhance deterrence by punishment by threatening to impose substantial costs up to and including decapitation strikes against North Korean leadership in the event of North Korean nuclear or weapons of mass destruction use against South Korea. Even for the most focused Korea watchers, it was noteworthy that Korea’s Strategic Command was included in the declaration. So, what is this seemingly obscure command, and why was it included in a presidential-level alliance document? This command’s sudden prominence reflects several interconnected yet conflicting currents within the U.S.-Korean alliance. These include Seoul’s Strategic Command and Nonnuclear Strategic Deterrence One reason for limited coverage of Korea’s Strategic Command is that it does not exist. It is Once this command is established, it will Hyunmoo family of Cheongung II M-surface-to-air missiles would be included in each component of the 3K system.
