- Abstract
- North Korean law, as a part of Korean law, is approaching to the 60th
Anniversary of its foundation. The process of it's historical formation is not
much known to the common people as well as the academic researchers.
This writer as a legal historian has paid attention to the legal history of North
Korea since last 10 years. It is really hard to grasp the process from the point
of the writer himself. Fortunately, a number of the North Korean materials offer
some clues to access the process. First of all, a book called Legislation History
of Democratic People's Republic of Korea(Pyongyang, 1986) written by Hong
Keukpyo gives a good guide to the whole history of North Korean legislation.
Hong classifies the history into seven stages:
1) Glorious Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Struggle(1932-46)
2) Anti-Imperialistic, anti-feudalistic Revolution for Democracy(1946-48)
3) First Stage toward Socialism(1948-50)
4) Legislations for Glorious War of Nation's Liberation(1950-53)
5) Post-War Restoration of Economy and Socialistic Foundation(1950's)
6) Total Reconstruction for Socialism(1960's)
7) Struggle for Perfect Victory of Socialism(1970's)
This periodization is, of course, strongly colored by the socialistic ideology of
North Korea. It shows that law in North Korea has faithfully served the state
power. It shows even the fact that North Korea prepared the Korean War of
1950 carefully by the legislation in the name of the Nation's Liberation.
