Kim Il Sung Constitution

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- The Korean people greet the Constitution Day (December 27) with great pride of having Kim Il Sung Constitution, the first of its kind in the world history of constitution establishment. In an interview with KCNA, Ri Chol Su, a department chief of Law College under Kim Il Sung University, told about the advantage of the socialist constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea:
    The world history of constitution has not known such constitution as one of the DPRK which is run through with the revolutionary outlook on the leader to perpetuate the memory of the leader.
    Such revolutionary constitution could be instituted only in the DPRK led by Kim Jong Il who has accomplished the cause of perpetuating the memory of the leader.
    After the demise of President Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il saw to it that all precious things of the DPRK should be glorified along with the exploits of the President and that the constitution be amended so as to firmly guarantee the perpetuation of the memory of the leader.
    He also saw to it that a new provision of the constitution should be instituted so as to specify the idea that the DPRK is unthinkable apart from the august name of President Kim Il Sung. And he made it possible to codify the President's idea on state building in a comprehensive way and made the Constitution of the DPRK the Kim Il Sung Constitution.
    Unlike existing constitutions which have fixed only the already made successes, the Kim Il Sung Constitution brightly illuminates the way for defending the socialist system and building a great prosperous powerful nation of Juche.
    It also stipulates the state machinery system to defend and realize the basic interest of the country and the people by embodying the army-first-idea and the mode of Songun leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.
    The capitalist constitutions do not refer to military-related affairs or limit them only to national defence expenditure in order to veil the reactionary nature of the aggressive, anti-popular, military and bureaucratic dictatorship.
    On the contrary to this, the DPRK Constitution institutes the issue of national defence as an independent chapter and clarifies the position, mission and right of the National Defence Commission.
    According to it, the National Defence Commission is the supreme military guiding body of the state power and the overall national defence management organ.
    The Korean people will thoroughly embody the Kim Il Sung Constitution in all the fields of the state and social life and thus accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche.
