South Korean Prime Minister Reinstated: The Court’s Verdict on Martial Law Controversy
South Korea’s Constitutional Court has overturned the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, reinstating him as acting president amid ongoing political turmoil. Han’s impeachment in December 2024 stemmed from allegations that he failed to prevent President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of martial law. The court ruled that while Han committed constitutional violations by delaying judicial appointments, these did not warrant his removal.
This decision precedes the court’s forthcoming ruling on President Yoon’s impeachment, which could lead to his permanent removal or reinstatement. The political crisis has heightened tensions between conservative and opposition factions, with concerns about its impact on South Korea’s democratic stability.
Han’s reinstatement restores his role as acting president, a position he assumed following Yoon’s suspension. He has pledged to focus on urgent national matters and called for unity amid the political unrest.
