# South Korea’s Constitutional Court has unanimously voted to uphold the impeachment of president Yoon Suk Yeol. In December last year, he imposed martial law which triggered the country’s worst political crisis in decades and led to Parliament voting to impeach him. In delivering the verdict, Justice Hyung-bae Moon said Yoon’s exercise of national emergency powers was not justified, and his actions inflicted serious damage to the country’s stability. Now that Yoon is impeached, a snap election must be held in 60 days.
