Abstract

In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the civil suit system as a means of resolution of external economic disputes has a long history, from immediately after liberation to the present day. In the DPRK, a unified judicial contestation apparatus and judicial organization system was created based on the several laws and regulations enacted between 1945 and 1976. Initially, the civil suit system was limited to maritime affairs regarding quayside handling of cargo, and utilization of a port or shipping agent by a foreign vessel, etc., in open ports. Today, it has become a comprehensive dispute resolution mechanism, which can solve various disputes. The Law of the DPRK on External Civil Relations provides the basic principles for judicial districts in external civil suits. The civil litigation system in the DPRK has established a clear and simplified litigation processing system which has overcome the complexity of legislation in other countries in the technical aspects of the litigation procedures by making all the activities, from the filing of an action to the beginning of litigation, to be "preparation for litigation." In order to protect the rights and interests of the parties to a lawsuit, our system has emergency appeals and retrials, while having a two-tiered judicial system.
