POLITICAL SITUATION OF NORTH KOREA UNDER KIM JONG-un

SS2 ARTS

NAME OF STUDENT: MISSIHOUN GODWIN

The political system of North Korea has undergone several changes over the last few years in order to boost up the economic growth of the country. A major aspect of the North Korean political system lies in the fact that it is widely seen as a totalitarian dictatorship built upon the rationale of centralization. After the end of World WAR 2, the vast country of Korea was divided into two countries as North Korea and South Korea. For a considerable period of time, North Korea was placed under the Soviet Union's rule, which in the due course led to the emergence of wide protest from different quarters of North Korean population. | | Functioning of the North Korean Government---

Politically, North Korea is structured as a Communist state with special references taken from the Russian constitution. Under the aegis of Kim Il-sung, the concept of Juche, or self-reliance was launched. The constitution of North Korea proclaims North Koreas as the "the Democratic People's Republic of Korea". A comprehensive analysis of the political system of North Korea remains incomplete without mentioning the different divisions of the government as---executive, legislature and judiciary. Fore mostly, the executive branch consists of the Premier and the cabinet ministers. However, the official position of the Chairman of the National Defence Commission has so far been declared as the highest administrative authoritative council of the country. The executive council also functions in close co-ordination with the Workers' Party of Korea. The formation of cabinet of North Korea consists of the Premier, Vice Premiers and group of ministers headed by the Premier. The legislative council of North Korea is officially known as the Supreme People's Assembly (S.P.A) and is supreme power making body of the country. It has 687

    and North Korea is the accountability of the government. In America where elections happen like clockwork, our government officials are made to keep the people happy as possible, if they plan to keep their office. North Korea however, government officials have the same power as gods. They hold the power of life and death over each citizen, one false accusation and they can hang, beat, or exile anyone of their choosing. The Supreme Leader is held to a god-like status, filled with large and impossible tales of their life achievements, such as the ability to walk at 3 months, or being born at the base of North Korea’s tallest mountain in a log cabin with a bright new star in the sky. The lack of free media in the country does little to diminish these falsities, and the citizens of this atheist state are free only to praise their leaders. To revere your leaders is to show what a good North Korean you are.…

    My position as an Anti-Federalist is to oppose the creation of a stronger U.S. federal government and which later opposed the ratification of the Constitution of 1787. The Anti-Federalist rejected the term and argued that they were the true Federalists. In both their correspondence and their local groups they tried to capture the term. We the Anti-Federalist were composed of diverse elements, such as those who opposed to the Constitution because they thought that a stronger government threatened the sovereignty and prestige of the states, localities, or people; those that claimed a new centralized, monarchic power that would only replace the cast-off despotism of Great Britain with the proposed government; and those who feared that the new government threatened their personal liberties.…

    North Korean citizens are not allowed to leave the country, and those who visit are intensely monitored. Article 4 and 5 are also hugely disregarded. Around 120,000 citizens of all ages are being held in a political prison camp, deprived of communication. In the camp, they are starved, raped, tortured, and even killed among other types of objectifying treatment (AJC Welcomes UN Security Council Discussion of North Korean Human Rights Abuses). Anyone seen as opposing the government can be sent to these prison camps. People are being controlled by fear, as they do not want to face group punishment. Creative thinking and religious freedom is non existent in North Korea’s controlling society. North Korean citizens can be sentenced to death for “vaguely defined offenses such as ‘crimes against the state’ and ‘crimes against the people’” (Human Rights Watch). These citizens are not subject to a fair trial, as the North’s court system is neither just nor efficient. Article 19 which entails freedom of speech and opinion is among the numerous human rights violations made. All forms of media are state-controlled, and void of overseas information. Phone calls and internet use is heavily limited and closely watched. Censorship is largely implemented in all sources of information as well.(Human Rights Watch) North Korea’s human rights violations are countless, and have been an ongoing issue discussed amongst the rest of the world for decades.…
