South Korea Lifts President’s Martial Law Order Hours After Declaration
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he will lift a martial law decree instituted about six hours earlier in a late-night announcement. The country’s parliament had voted to lift the declaration hours after the declaration.
Here’s what to know:
South Korea’s Constitution allows for the invocation of martial law when considered necessary to respond to a military threat or to maintain public safety.
In announcing the order, Yoon promised to eliminate “anti-state” forces and accused the opposing liberal Democratic Party of sympathizing with communist North Korea.
South Korean law allows a martial law order to be lifted by a majority vote in the parliament.
South Korea’s Democratic Party has majority control of the parliament, and all 190 parliament members who participated in the vote supported lifting the martial law order.
【譯文】韓國總統發布戒嚴後幾小時內解除
韓國總統尹錫悅（Yoon Suk Yeol）宣布，他將撤消大約六小時前在深夜宣布的戒嚴令。韓國國會在戒嚴令發布幾小時後投票決定取消該命令。
以下是須知訊息：
韓國憲法允許認為，在有必要應對軍事威脅或維護公共安全時，頒布戒嚴令。
尹宣布戒嚴令時承諾要剷除「反國家」勢力，並指責反對派自由民主黨親近共產北韓。
韓國法律允許國會多數決投票解除戒嚴令。
韓國在野民主黨於國會擁有多數權，參與投票的（在野黨）190名國會議員全數支持解除戒嚴令。

您可以針對以下議題進行論述，甚至寫一篇英文短文，練習英文寫作或口語表達。
* 韓國總統發布戒嚴令的原因，您是否覺得熟悉？現今的臺灣是否能像從前一樣再度發布戒嚴令？
* 戒嚴令是過去威權時代的產物，同樣是民主自由的韓國，拿威權來反威權，這種做法您是否贊成？如果要保護國家與人民免於共產主義侵害，是否有更符合時代潮流的做法？
