Yoon Suk Yeol's decree, and his reversal under pressure from lawmakers, were the culmination of years of feuding between the country's two main political camps.
The article from The New York Times, published on December 3, 2024, discusses South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's controversial proposal to reinstate martial law to address the ongoing political and social unrest in the country. President Yoon, known for his hardline stance on security issues, has suggested that martial law could be necessary to restore order amid protests against his administration's policies, particularly those related to labor reforms and relations with North Korea. Critics argue that this move could undermine democracy, pointing to historical precedents where martial law led to significant human rights abuses. The proposal has sparked a fierce debate within South Korea, with opposition parties and civil liberties groups vehemently opposing it, while some conservative factions and supporters of Yoon see it as a necessary measure to stabilize the nation. The article also touches on the international reactions, with concerns raised by allies like the United States about the implications for democratic norms in South Korea.
