Abstract

“1954 Geneva Conference” was the first discuss event about two korean’s unification issues with relevant countries. The purpose of this research is that to understand of the discussion between the National Assembly and the South Korean government regarding the Korean government’s unification plan presented to the international community. “1954 Geneva Conference”, the government proposed the position that it would be enough to fill the 100 member of Congress, which had been vacated by free elections in the North Korean region, which was the existing unification plan. However, this opinion was changed due to the ‘pressure’ of the countries participating in the talks. It will be amended to “free general elections in North Korea and free elections in South Korea. At that time, the government was tired to that to change of constitutional amendment that would allow the president to be re-elected forever. Parliamentary opposition’s big speaker Ik-hui, Shin, who is a key figure met with Jo So-ang of North Korea in New Delhi, India to discuss the ‘neutralization and unification plan’, putting pressure on the opposition byraising the McCarthyism in South Korea. In response, the opposition took issue with the government’s unilateral revision of the unification plan at “1954 Geneva Conference”. Unification issues such as ‘Secret New Delhi Contact’ and ‘Revision of the Unification Plan of the Geneva Political Talks’ were settled at the National Assembly. And the round-off constitutional amendment was passed. As a result, it can be seen that the unification issue was used ‘politically’ to deal with the constitutional amendment bill, which is a domestic political issue.
