International Criminal Law in South Korea

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

South Korea engages with international criminal law through its membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC) , domestic implementation of international crimes, and assertions of universal jurisdiction. As a democracy that emerged from authoritarian rule and remains technically at war with North Korea, South Korea’s approach to international criminal law reflects both its commitment to the international rule of law and the unique security challenges of the Korean Peninsula.
