N. Korea posts revised constitution online on propaganda website

North Korea has reposted its constitution on its state propaganda website, Naenara, following a 2.5-year hiatus. The revised constitution, which was amended in March, now omits references to unification with South Korea and the concept of a unified nation. This change comes after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared a hostile state policy towards the South in late 2023 and ordered the removal of unification-related language from the constitution in early 2024.

The new version of the constitution on Naenara also elevates Kim's status and grants him command over the nuclear forces.
