Kim Jong Il Inspects Court and Central Court Building
Pyongyang, January 23 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il provided field guidance to the newly-built court and the building of the Central Court.

He first looked around the newly-built room devoted to the history of the Central Court.

Recollecting the founding of the court, a democratic judicial institution, and the course of its development with deep emotion, he said that the court has developed into a weapon of class struggle and one of proletarian dictatorship under the wise leadership and meticulous care of President
Kim Il Sung.

He highly appreciated the feats of the judicial organ in the past, saying that the court has firmly defended the policies of the WPK and sovereign rights of the people, standing on the first line of the class struggle over the last more than six decades since its founding.

After being briefed on the court before a big map showing its panoramic view, he went round the interior and exterior of the court to learn in detail about its construction.

At the end of his visit to the court he set forth on the spot important tasks which would serve as guidelines for further consolidating the socialist system in the DPRK by strengthening the education in the observance of law.

He noted that the socialist law in the DPRK serves not only as an effective means for promoting the revolutionization and the working-classization of all members of the society and giving strong impetus to the socialist construction but also as a powerful weapon for performing a great function to organize and mobilize people for economic and cultural construction.

Thanks to the strict enforcement of the Socialist Constitution under the WPK's leadership a revolutionary system and order have been firmly established throughout the society, the three revolutions, ideological, technical and cultural, made dynamic progress, further augmenting the nation's political, economic and military potentials and the sovereign rights of the working masses have been most firmly protected, he said, adding that the reality clearly proves the advantages and vitality of the socialist legislative system in the DPRK.

He underscored the need to steadily consolidate the state social system in the DPRK by further strengthening the observance of the socialist law as required by the Socialist Constitution and bring earlier the complete victory of socialism and the cause of building a thriving nation.

In order to strengthen the observance of law for enforcing the socialist law it is important to increase the function and role of the judicial organ, he noted, underlining the need for the officials in this field to strictly abide by the principle of loyalty to the Party, to the working class and to the people in enforcing law.

He expressed expectation and conviction that the judicial organs including the Central Court would firmly protect the interests of the state and people and their lives and properties by law with a high sense of responsibility and thus give full play to the might of the most revolutionary and popular and fair and aboveboard law in the DPRK.

He was accompanied by Kim Pyong Ryul, president of the Central Court, and department directors and first vice department directors of the WPK Central Committee.
