North Korea's Constitutional Amendment Supreme People's Assembly... New Territories Clause

North Korea plans to hold a Supreme People's Assembly meeting today to delete the provisions related to unification and revise the Constitution to create new territorial provisions.

Earlier in December last year, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission Kim Jong-un declared the "two hostile states theory," saying that he would no longer view South Korea as an object of unification, and ordered a constitutional amendment in January this year.

The core of the constitutional amendment ordered by Chairman Kim was to delete expressions related to unification and to create territorial, territorial, and airspace provisions that would define the areas of sovereignty.

In this regard, the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly announced last month that it would discuss issues related to the revision and supplementation of the socialist constitution.

As a result, attention is focused on how North Korea will define the "south border" and "sea border," which Kim first mentioned this year, in the new territorial, territorial, and airspace provisions.

In addition, this constitutional amendment is expected to remove all expressions such as unification, relatives, and peoples from the Constitution, and to include the will to unify the absorption of force.
