Korea, Indonesia to ink cooperation agreement between constitutional courts
By KH디지털2Published : March 16, 2016 - 17:05
South Korea's Constitutional Court said Wednesday it will sign an agreement with its Indonesian counterpart for cooperation and exchanges of information and research manpower.
Under the agreement to be inked on Thursday, the judicial organizations of the two countries will also hold joint meetings, symposiums and seminars on common issues of interest, according to the court.
Specifically, the two judicial organizations plan to exchange information, insights and experience in the areas of the constitutional adjudication system and review institution as well as to push for the exchange of legal research manpower between the courts.
As members of the Association of Asian Constitutional Courts and Equivalent Institutions, the constitutional courts of the two countries have already reached a consensus to make common efforts to further expand the AACC which was established in July 2010.
Composed of 16 constitutional courts and institutions in Asia, South Korea served the first presidency of the AACC. South Korea held the organization's inaugural congress in Seoul in May 2012.
As the third president of the AACC, Indonesia is scheduled to hold the third AACC congress in Bali in August.
The Constitutional Court of South Korea has the final say in reviewing laws concerning the Constitution, disputes over the authority of state institutions, the dissolution of political parties and disputes over election results. It also is obliged to rule on any attempt to impeach the president.
The Constitution is the highest law in Korea, which sets the direction for its values and order, defines the governing organization and its principles, and guarantees each person's basic rights. (Yonhap)
