The accumulation of limiting and debilitating factors or a power struggle emanating from the North Korean system may paralyze the country’s political system or state functions. In North Korea such circumstances are typically referred to as ‘sudden change’. Sometimes viewed as the fast track to reunification, sudden change in North Korean carries extreme significance—dangers of an international armed conflict coupled with the force to reconfigure the future security landscape of Northeast Asia, including the Korean peninsula. Therefore, every possible problem that may ensue from sudden change requires detailed consideration. However, comprehensive studies covering the legalities surrounding a North Korean sudden change are few and far between. Such works have only treated the issue peripherally in the process of evaluating larger security issues of the Korean peninsula.
