After the emergency martial law declared by President Yoon Suk Yeol is lifted, Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae will go back to work at the Supreme Court.
Earlier, the judiciary said it was fortunate to lift martial law and said it would try to protect the freedom and rights of the people.
Attention is focusing on whether a more detailed judiciary position will come out on the way to work.
Let's go to the scene.
[Reporter]
Director, as this is a situation, I would like to ask you to answer some questions. First of all, the judiciary and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, please tell us about the martial law situation one more time.
[Cho Hee-dae / Chief Justice]
The judiciary will do its best not to worry about the people.
To that effect, we have already notified the members under the name of the Minister of Court Administration.
[Reporter]
In the title's statement, you also said that it is the last bastion to guarantee the human rights of the people, so can you explain it a little more?
[Cho Hee-dae / Chief Justice]
In these difficult times, the judiciary will make its original mission more clear.
[Reporter]
Some point out that there may be legal problems if you did not follow legal procedures during the martial law process, and I wonder what you think.
[Cho Hee-dae / Chief Justice]
I think we need to see what procedures we went through in the future.
[Reporter]
Some even say that if it is true, it could be a reason for impeachment. Do you have a position?
[Cho Hee-dae / Chief Justice]
I'll tell you later.
[Reporter]
Lastly, please tell us one more time what role the judiciary will play in the process of dealing with the political situation.
[Cho Hee-dae / Chief Justice]
The judiciary will do its best to ensure the freedom and human rights of the people because the original role of the judiciary is to guarantee the freedom and human rights of the people.
The people don't have to worry.
