Members of the Control Commission (CC) of the Workers' Party of Korea were elected by the 1st Plenary Session of a WPK Central Committee. [1] In the two predecessor organisations, the Central Inspection Commission of the Workers' Party of North Korea (WPNK) and the Inspection Committee of the Workers' Party of South Korea (WPSK), members were elected by the party congress. [1] Control Commission members were responsible for ensuring party discipline, enforcing and protecting the party rules, and punishing members who breached rules and regulations. [2]

During the Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il era only three individuals out of 57 were re-elected to a second term as CC member. [1] CC membership was the least stable of all Central Committee organs in this time period. [1] Political scientist Dae-sook Suh argues that "At least two explanations can be made. The first is that the committee takes its job seriously and enforces the rules to the letter, criticizing the majority of the members of the Central Committee and thus creating a high rate of turnover, even in its own committee. The second is that this committee is not different from other committees, that appointment is political". [1] If the former is correct then the main responsibility of CC members was to carry out the policies of the Supreme Leader. [1] However, in the Kim Jong Un era, three individuals out of thirteen were re-elected for a second term. [3] [4]

Its last term, the seventh, was elected on 9 May 2016. [4] The 2nd Plenary Session of the 7th WPK Central Committee dismissed Hong In-bom as CC chairman and appointed Jo Yon-jun in his place. According to Michael Madden of 38 North "Interestingly Jo [Yon Jun], OGD's most senior deputy director, was appointed Chairman of the Inspection Commission (a.k.a. the Control Commission), a position which is typically appointed to elderly and experienced OGD personnel (such as Mr Jo) who entering a period of semi-retirement." [5] In 2019 it spearheaded an anti-corruption investigation in North Pyongan Province. [6] A commentator quipped that "The inspection team arrived on December 20 and is continuing to investigate local government officials. [...] The team is looking at officials working in customs bureaus, factories and enterprises, and even in storage facilities." [6] It was a highly unusual investigation; most Inspection investigations lasts for a couple of weeks but this one lasted for three months. [6] The investigation was part of Kim Jong Un's anti-corruption campaign. [6]

The General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea is the leader of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), the ruling party in North Korea, and the country's supreme leader. Party rules stipulate that the party congress elects the general secretary. The party conference and the Central Committee are empowered to remove and elect the party leader. The general secretary is "ex officio" Chairman of the WPK Central Military Commission and leads the work of the secretariat. Additionally, the general secretary is by right of office member of the WPK Presidium, the WPK Politburo and the WPK Secretariat.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Workers' Party of Korea</span> Sole ruling party of North Korea

The Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) is the sole ruling party of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, commonly known as North Korea. Founded in 1949 from the merger of the Workers' Party of North Korea and the Workers' Party of South Korea, the WPK is the oldest active party in Korea. It also controls the Korean People's Army, North Korea's armed forces. The WPK is the largest party represented in the Supreme People's Assembly and coexists with two other legal parties making up the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea. However, these minor parties are completely subservient to the WPK and must accept the WPK's "leading role" as a condition of their existence. The WPK is banned in the Republic of Korea under the National Security Act and is sanctioned by the United Nations, the European Union, Australia, and the United States.

The Central Committee is not a permanent institution and delegates day-to-day work to elected bodies, such as the Political Committee, the Secretariat and the Inspection Committee in the case of the 4th Central Committee. It convenes meetings, known as "Plenary Session of the [term] Central Committee", to discuss major policies. Only full members have the right to vote, but if a full member cannot attend a plenary session, the person's spot is taken over by an alternate. Plenary session can also be attended by non-members, such meetings are known as "Enlarged Plenary Session", to participate in the committee's discussions.
