Abstract
On 29 July 2021, the Presidium of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPR Korea) amended and supplemented the Law of the DPR Korea on the Red Cross Society. The Law is a branch law of the DPR Korea that uniquely provides such things as the organization, function, and principles of conduct of the Red Cross Society and use of the Red Cross mark. The amendment and supplementation of the Law further consolidated the legal guarantee for the smooth operation of humanitarian activities of the Red Cross Society in the DPR Korea. This paper provides a summary of the main contents of the Law and comments on the basis of the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the requirements of international humanitarian law, including the recommendations of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies on the activities of the Red Cross Society and the use of the Red Cross emblem.
