The Constitutional Court announced that Justice Jo Han-chang attended an international conference in Batumi, Georgia, on November 5, focusing on the role of constitutional review in a rule of law state.
During the session on the 'Historical Development of Constitutional Review,' Justice Jo presented the evolution of South Korea's constitutional adjudication and discussed the establishment of the rule of law and the strengthening of judicial cooperation networks among countries with representatives from various constitutional courts.
The Constitutional Court of Georgia, established in 1996, serves as the constitutional adjudication body to ensure the supremacy of the constitution, uphold the principle of separation of powers, and protect fundamental human rights.
This international conference, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Georgian Constitutional Court, brought together constitutional court justices and judges from various European and Asian countries, including the European Court of Human Rights, Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Thailand, as well as key figures from Georgia's three branches of government and academia to discuss the establishment of the rule of law and enhance judicial cooperation.
The conference, titled 'The Role of Constitutional Review in a State Governed by the Rule of Law,' took place from November 5 to 6 in Batumi, Georgia.
Prior to the conference, Justice Jo met with George Papuashvili, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Ilia State University, to discuss the constitutional powers of the South Korean Constitutional Court, including the newly introduced constitutional complaint system in March.
