A systematic understanding of the laws in North Korea is thus one of the important areas in the Association Act. Also, according to the theory, if the socialist revolution and the socialization of the means of production achieve communist equality without class confrontation, then the state will eventually disappear. Second, Lenin actively recognized the functions of the state and law during the Soviet revolution and argued for a semi-national theory.
This idea was against the traditional Marx-Engels materialist view of history.6 The socialist state advocated by Stalin strengthened state power through law, and socialist legal theory emphasized the oppressive nature of the state. The Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a true socialist country that embodies the ideals and principles of the great comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. North Korean law therefore transforms socialist legal theory by adopting the legal theory of Juche and the theory of the revolutionary leader and operating it in the North Korean way.
Such socialist compliance with law is the goal of the North Korean legal system as an indispensable means of properly governing and functioning socialist society. First, North Korean law serves as a means to achieve the goal of the state's political power, taking into account its political ideals and functions. North Korean law therefore does not control or regulate political power, but is subordinate to the policies of the Chosun Labor Party, dominated by the Juche ideology.
The nature of North Korean legislation and the status and functions of the Korean Workers' Party are also 16.
Form and Effect of North Korean Law
The Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly has the following duties and powers to: 2. In particular, Legislation Law prescribes "The Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly has the power to interpret and draft sector laws and the regulations, which have the same effect with the sector laws and the regulations" (Article 24). Interpretation of the decree is done by the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly.
According to the Legislative Act, the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly and the Cabinet issue rules in the form of 'decisions' (articles 23, 31). Most of the sectoral laws enacted by North Korea since the 1998 constitution were passed by the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly. Assembly, not the decree of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, is used as a way to pass sectoral law.
The Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, the highest sovereign authority during the recess of the Supreme People's Assembly, adopts the decree. According to the Legislation Act, the sectoral laws issued by the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly can be pro- 31. The regulations issued by the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly or the Cabinet meeting can be issued in the form of 'decision'. tions' (Article 23, 31).
Among the forms of written law, North Korea adopts "rules" as a form of decision of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly or as a decision of the Cabinet. The Kumgang Tourism District Law was adopted, amended and supplemented by decrees of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly. They are adopted by decision of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, which is a higher institution than the cabinet.
The Constitution is amended and supplemented only by the Supreme People's Assembly, which is the highest sovereign authority. Moreover, unlike all sectoral laws, it requires a special weighted quorum and a two-thirds majority of the representatives of the Supreme People's Assembly. The approval of the Supreme People's Assembly is required, which requires greater democratic legitimacy.
The regulations issued by the Permanent Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly have a higher effect than those approved by the Cabinet (Article 47). The Permanent Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly has the following duties and powers: 6.
System and Classification of North Korean Law
Korean legislation can be anticipated for a certain period of time to achieve stable integration of the two Koreas. If the general principles of legal assimilation are applied to South and North Korea, South Korean law should be revised to meet the unification situation, and North Korean law should be classified and revised. If North Korean law cannot be enforced, new legislative measures will also be needed to fill the gap.
All of these tasks must be based on an accurate understanding of the North Korean legal system. Unlike South Korean law, North Korean law does not distinguish between public and private laws. National Law Information Center" What is fundamentally problematic in the systematization of South Korean law is how to clearly set the margin of administrative law. In South Korea, government agencies or private research groups have made various attempts to organize and classify North Korean law. Typically, the North Korean Legislative Information Center of Legislative Information Center classifies North Korean law as follows: 1. The previous views on the classification and system of North Korean law were basically inspired by the classification and system of South Korean law. In addition, a unified Korea is expected to adopt South Korean law as its foundation after peaceful reunification, and South Korean law will be an important standard even if North Korea pursues a policy of open reform or system transformation. Therefore, it would be useful to classify and systematize North Korean law based on the systematization model of South Korean law. However, such systematization carries a risk of misinterpreting and misunderstanding the function and role of North Korean law. In addition, some opinions have failed to achieve the goal of systematizing North Korean legislation because they bind several individual administrative laws into a single item. Such classification of the law based on its political purpose and function makes it difficult to systematically understand North Korean law.35 The DPRK Legal Code, which was first published for the public in 2004, places the Constitution first and lists the remaining 111 North Korean laws alphabetically, meaning they are not classified or systematized according to specific standards. In North Korean law, the Juche ideology and the Chosun Labor Law and the rules embodying such ideology take precedence over the law that practically realizes it. Among the forms of written law, the superior effect is in the order of the constitution, sector law and major sector laws, regulations, statutes and rules. However, there is no regulation on the effectiveness of the general and important sector laws. On the other hand, the effectiveness of laws and decisions – which are the methods of adoption in North Korean law – is determined by the status of the constitutional decree that refers to them, not by their names or forms. In other words, the law in North Korea acts as a means to implement the policies of the Chosun Workers' Party in accordance with the leading ideologies such as the Juche and Songun ideologies. This means that their effects are determined according to the position, tasks and powers of state bodies, as defined by the constitution. In other words, the laws, regulations, decrees, decisions and instructions of the Supreme People's Assembly, the Chairman of the State Council, the State Council, the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, the Cabinet and the Local People's Assembly have decreasing power in this order of state organs .
