North Korea Posts Revised Constitution Dropping Reunification Goal
The revised text drops unification references and expands Kim Jong-un’s powers, including command of nuclear forces, Seoul said.
- On Tuesday, the state propaganda website Naenara restored the full text of North Korea's constitution, ending a hiatus of more than 2 years.
- North Korea removed the document in 2024 after Kim Jong-un declared South Korea a 'hostile state,' ordering officials to strip 'peaceful unification' and 'national unity' references.
- The reposted text reflects amendments from the 15th Supreme People's Assembly on March 23, 2026, which strengthen leader Kim's authority and redefine territorial boundaries.
- This official publication confirms earlier unverified reports, including a version obtained by Seoul, that documented the exclusion of unification references and new nuclear command powers.
- Naenara's version includes minor additions regarding cabinet duties, ensuring the legal framework aligns with North Korea's current policy toward South Korea as 'two hostile states.
