Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, "Hyeom, let's see what procedures have gone through"...Criticism of Court/Prosecution Members

[Anchor]
The martial law crisis is over, but the judiciary is busy.

Following Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae's announcement that he would wait and see if martial law followed the procedure,
Acting Constitutional Court President Moon Hyung-bae
also emphasized that he would respond carefully but agile.

Let's connect with the reporter.

Reporter Kim Chulhee! Please pass on the judiciary's position.

[Reporter]
Yes, Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae met with reporters on his way to work and said the judiciary will do its best to prevent the public from worrying.

In difficult times, the judiciary will focus on its original mission to guarantee the freedom and human rights of the people through trials.

Let's listen to it.

[Cho Hee-dae / Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: Since the original role of the judiciary is to guarantee the freedom and human rights of the people through trial, we will do our best to ensure that there is no negligence.]

However, when asked if he could be held legally responsible for the martial law process, he declined to say, saying, "We will have to wait and see what procedures we have gone through."

The movement of the Constitutional Court is also accelerating.

Acting Constitutional Court President Moon Hyung-bae said the more chaotic the situation is, the more the Constitution should work, and that the Constitutional Court will respond carefully but agilely to emergency situations.

As the constitutional petition to "confirm whether the declaration of martial law is unconstitutional" continued in Minbyun, they held a meeting of the secretariat to find out how many related cases were received and the current situation.

There was also criticism from internal members of the court in this response.

The incumbent senior judge posted a message on the internal network to the effect that the Supreme Court's response was disappointing.

Another judge also expressed regret, saying the Chief Justice should have given a strong warning.

How about the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution?

[Reporter]
Yes, Justice Minister Park Sung-jae also expressed his position in front of reporters on his way to work this morning.

He said he has no intention of sticking to his position on the emergency martial law, but he will focus on his work first.

Let's listen to this part ourselves.

[Park Sung-jae / Minister of Justice: I take care of the trade affairs of the Ministry of Justice, and I have no intention of sticking to the position.]

However, he did not answer questions about whether he agreed with the criticism that it was an unconstitutional decree or whether he participated in the Cabinet meeting before declaring martial law, but all members of the State Council have reportedly expressed their resignation since then.

Prosecutor General Shim Woo-jung did not make a particular statement on his way to work.

However, it is known that he sent an official letter to the front office and each department to ask them to pay special attention so that there is no disruption in the prosecution's original work performance at a serious time.

There was also internal criticism from the prosecution over the martial law.

Ryu Hyuk, the inspector of the Ministry of Justice, submitted his resignation, saying he could not participate in discussions on martial law.In a call with YTN, Inspector General
called it a clear and clear act of constitutional destruction, and said the declaration of martial law must be legally wronged.

An incumbent prosecutor from the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office also posted on the prosecution's internal network, writing that a series of actions surrounding the declaration of martial law appear to be clearly unconstitutional and illegal, and fall under the scope of the prosecution's direct investigation, "abuse of authority."

So far, I'm Kim Chul-hee of YTN in the Supreme Court.
