The Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (조선로동당 중앙위) is the leadership body of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK). According to Party rules, the Central Committee directs the Party work between the Party Congresses. It is elected by the Party Congress itself, although Party conferences can be called to perform this duty as well. The current Central Committee, the 6th, was elected by the 6th WPK Congress in 1980. The Central Committee, which is currently made up by more than 300 people between full members and alternate members, should meet at least once every year (the clause was every six months until 2010). However, no meeting at all was convened between the 21st Plenary Meeting of the Sixth Central Committee in December 1993 and the September 28, 2010 Plenary Meeting. == Functions == The Central Committee, usually at its first plenum after having been elected by the Party Congress, elects in turn the Political Bureau (or Politburo) and the Presidium (or Standing Committee) of the Political Bureau, which is the paramount decisions-making organ. It also organizes the Central Military Commission, the Control Commission and the Secretariat of the Central Committee (with administrative tasks only). The many Party departments (Organization and Guidance, Propaganda, etc.) are nominally under the Central Committee's jurisdiction, and it appoints their directors as well as the editor-in-chief of the official Party newspaper, ''Rodong Sinmun''. Unlike many other ruling communist parties, the Central Committee doesn't elect the General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, who is elected by the Party Congress directly. Although it maintained a very important position under Kim Il-sung, holding frequent meetings and adopting key decisions (Kim Jong-il himself was first designated as Kim Il-sung's successor at the 8th Plenary Meeting of the Fifth Central Committee in February 1974), it lost almost all actual power since Kim Jong-il's takeover, with supreme authority shifting to the National Defence Commission as part of Kim Jong-il's Songun policy. One of the curious aspects of its long paralysis from 1993 to 2010 is that all members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau but Kim Jong-il died in the meantime, ''de facto'' nullifying the body. In March 2013, after more than two years since the last, a plenary meeting of the Party Central Committee was convened prior to the Supreme People's Assembly session, as it was done under Kim Il-sung. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
