The Committee for the Five Northern Korean Provinces ( Korean :  以北5道委員會 ; Hanja :  以北五道委員會 , literally "The North's Five Provinces Committee") is a South Korean government body under the Ministry of the Interior and Safety .

History [ edit ]

Established in 1949, the committee is officially responsible for the administration of the five Korean provinces located entirely north of the Military Demarcation Line , as the South Korean government formally claims to be the sole legitimate government of whole of Korea . The South Korean government does not recognise any changes to the borders of the provinces made by North Korea since its establishment. The President of South Korea appoints governors for each of the five provinces. [1] However, their role is largely symbolic (comparable to titular bishops ), as the territory is under the effective jurisdiction of North Korea . The committee's main practical function is to provide support to North Korean defectors living in South Korea, including helping with the resettlement of North Koreans and organizing social events for North Koreans. [1] [2]

Despite its name, the committee plays no part in North Korea?South Korea relations ; North Korean affairs are handled by the Ministry of Unification . [1] In the event of a North Korean collapse, contingency plans call for a new government body to be set up to administer the North under the leadership of the Unification Minister. In that case, the five governors would have to resign and the committee would be disbanded. [1] [3]
