 Background
 
  The Constitutional Court of Korea, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the
establishment of the Court, will hold an international symposium on September 1-4,
2008, in Seoul, Korea with the participation of the heads of constitutional courts and equivalent institutions from around the world.
 
  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.
