Abstract:

President Yoon Suk-yeol’s declaration of martial law on 3-4 December has triggered the most serious crisis in the democratic history of the Republic of Korea. Although in place only briefly, its overturning and the beginning of impeachment proceedings by parliament on 14 December means that the president has been suspended of his powers and the case referred to the Constitutional Court, which is expected to proceed on Yoon’s removal from office within six months. The difficult political situation will temporarily limit South Korea’s ability to act internationally, including establishing direct contacts with the incoming U.S. administration.
