North Korea's parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly, passed the law on Thursday. The new law replaces the 2013 Act. For the first time, the issue of whether the country has nuclear weapons came up in this act.
In a speech to parliament, Kim said, "The ultimate significance of enacting legislation on nuclear weapons policy is to draw an immutable boundary so that there is no bargaining over our nuclear weapons."
Factors that may trigger a nuclear attack include—the threat of an imminent nuclear attack; If the country's leadership, population or existence is threatened or its dominance during war.
A member of parliament said the law would serve as a strong legal guarantee to consolidate North Korea's position as a nuclear-armed state. At the same time, it will ensure the 'transparent, consistent and normative character' of the country's nuclear weapons policy.
