Repeal the National Security Law - which creates hostility between North and South Korea

最終更新: 2022年10月1日

On September 15, 2022, the Constitutional Court of South Korea held a public hearing on the National Security Law, the notoriously vicious law that succeeded Japan's Security Maintenance Law in WWII.

The law broadly penalizes activities that praise, encourage, or sympathize with DPRK as an "anti-state organization" and, actually, has a wide range of shrinking effects and restrictions on South Korean people when talking about DPRK and peace on the Korean peninsula. This law fixes confrontation and hostility between North and South Korea.

COLAP (Confederation of lawyers of Asia and the Pacific) submitted a legal opinion as an international lawyers' organization.

In South Korea, many media have covered this lawsuit in the Constitutional Court. Many peace and human rights groups, and Minbyun Lawyers are rallying for the repeal of the National Security Law.

Let's eliminate these obstacles in order to end hostility in Asia!
