The Constitutional Court of Korea, in celebration
of the 20th
anniversary of the establishment of the
Court, will hold an

In its relatively short 20 year history,
the Constitutional Court of
Korea has played a significant role in
leading our country into a
more mature democratic society governed
by the rule of law. As a
reflection of the citizens' support and
trust, the Court was chosen
as the most trustworthy national institution
among governmental
entities in a recent nationwide survey.
Moreover, the Constitutional
Court enjoys strong support and positive
evaluations from abroad as well.

 |
|
On the occasion of its 20th anniversary,
the Court, by hosting an
international symposium, seeks to consolidate
our efforts in further
developing constitutional adjudication
systems and promoting
human rights and provide an opportunity
to share the precious
experiences and wisdom of participating
countries. |
