South Korea’s constitutional court upheld the parliament’s decision to impeach the country’s suspended president, Yoon Suk Yeol, on April 4. The court stated that, by declaring martial law in December, Yoon had taken actions that were beyond the powers granted by South Korea’s constitution.

On April 4, South Korea’s Constitutional Court officially dismissed Yoon Suk-yeol from the presidency. The ruling came down 111 days after the National Assembly passed its impeachment motion against Yoon. The past four months have been an agonizing vigil for the country’s fate and future.

South Korea’s Constitutional Court has unanimously removed Yoon Suk Yeol as president after he threw the nation into turmoil by declaring martial law and sending troops to parliament in an ill-fated effort to break through legislative gridlock.
