North Korea has once again posted its complete constitution on a government propaganda site, Naenara, over two and a half years after taking the document offline. This new version seems to reflect revisions made in March, following a session of the 15th Supreme People's Assembly. The website had previously taken down the full constitution in March 2024, along with sections on modern history and overseas Koreans, which contained references to unification and one nation.
These deletions came after Kim Jong-un declared in late 2023 that the two Koreas are distinct, hostile states, and in January 2024, ordered the removal of phrases like peaceful unification and national unity from the constitution. Kim stated that he would no longer regard South Korea as a suitable partner for reconciliation or unification.
The site seems to have reinstated the text because it aligns with North Korea's updated stance towards the South.
