The Dominion of Korea (Korean: 고려자치령; 高麗自治領 Goryeo Jachiryeong) was a designation of Korea from 1932 to 1949 when the country was an associated state of Japan. The Dominion was created by the Korean Dominion Law, which was passed by Congress of Japan in 1931.
The Dominion government was in exile from 1942–1945, when Korea was under Japanese occupation. In 1949, the Dominion ended and Korea was proclaimed a republic.
Structure
The structure of Dominion of Korea was described in the Korean Dominion Law (1932), which remained effective from 1932 until 1950. Dominion of Korea was self-governing state within the Japanese Realm. The foreign policy and defence affairs of Korea would be under the responsibility of Japan. Certain legislation and policy also required the approval of the Parliament of Japan.
The unicameral National Assembly of Korea (國會 Gukhoe) serves as the parliament of the Dominion and responsible for formulate the Dominion main policies. All members of National Assembly elected every four years and only Koreans who required to voting and to get vote as the members of Assembly. Since 1933, the pro-Japanese assemblymen from the Korean-Japanese Friendship Association (高明 友好 協會 Gomyeong Uho Hyeop-hoe) dominated most of the seats in the Assembly.
The High Commissioner of Korea (高麗 高級 專員 Goryeo Gogeup Jeon-won) was the representative of Government of Japan in Korea and the nominal head of state of the Dominion. The High Commissioner appointed by the President of Japan by the concern of Parliament of Japan every five years. The High Commissioner functioned to advise the Dominion government of matters concerning executive, defense and financial in Korea.
The Council of the Ministers of Korea (閣僚 理事會 Gakryo Risahoe), headed by the Prime Minister (首相 Susang) who assisted by two Vice-Prime Ministers (副首相 Bu-susang). The Council was the main executive body of the Dominion and unlike the Manchurian Executive Council, this body solely responsible to the National Assembly, not to the Government of Japan.
The National Court of Korea (國家 裁判所 Gukga Jaepanso) serves as the Dominion's supreme judicature in charge of judicial matters and supervision and administration of lower courts. All of judges of the Court appointed by the National Assembly. Every Korean citizen was the subject of Korean law and under the authority of Korean National Court, not to the Japanese law.
