South Korea Constitutional Court

The Constitutional Court’s overturning of Prime Minister Han’s impeachment helps us make some inferences about Yoon’s case – but not the obvious one.

Ahead of the ruling on the South Korean president’s impeachment, the Constitutional Court overturned the impeachment of Han Duck-soo.

The Constitutional Court is taking longer than expected to issue its ruling. South Koreans are divided over how to interpret the delay.

Even after South Korea’s Constitution Court delivers its verdict, the country’s fierce and fractured partisan divide is likely to rage on both within and outside of the government. 

The six-week trial has ended. Now, the Constitutional Court will decide whether to uphold Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment. 

Despite his refusal to appear for questioning in the CIO's investigation, Yoon Suk-yeol attended the impeachment trial held by the Constitutional Court on Tuesday.

South Korea must prioritize constitutional integrity over partisan gains to ensure that democratic ideals do not devolve into enduring political instability.

For the first time in South Korea’s history, an arrest warrant requested by the investigation agency against the president has been issued.

A day after Han Duck-soo vowed not to appoint three judges for the Constitutional Court, the main opposition party impeached the acting president.

Despite his vow not to avoid legal and political responsibility, President Yoon has repeatedly refused to receive documents from the Constitutional Court that are related to his impeachment trial.

Professor Jang Young-soo discusses the legal aspects of the impeachment process and the insurrection charges facing President Yoon after his declaration of martial law.

The law was crafted by the previous liberal government in Seoul, which desperately pushed for inter-Korean engagement.
