The 1998 constitution defines the NDC as “the highest guiding organ of the military and the managing organ of military matters.” The chairman of the NDC controls the armed forces. In a speech endorsing Kim Jong Il as NDC chairman, Kim Yong-nam made it clear that chairman of the NDC is the highest position in the country, in charge of all matters regarding the country’s politics, economy, and military.
Members as of October 2007 include General Ri Myong-su and Vice Marshal Kim Il-chol. [1]
