Nationality Law was enacted in Korea (in 1948) and in North Korea (in 1963). Nationality Law was amended ten times in Korea and twice in North Korea. Compared with North Korea’s Nationality Law, Korea’s Nationality Law has changed a lot. However, the provisions relating to the initial national element are still blank. On the initial nationality element, North Korea is based on interpretation theory of the Nationality Law. Korea is based on common law (Census Law, enacted in 1923, during Japan colonial period). Census and national are different concepts. As an statute Law country, Korea solves nationality problems in the light of common law. Korea’s Nationality Law with complete law system brought a lot changes. But, comparing with North Korea’s Nationality Law, it is a flaw that Korea has not ruled definitely.
