2nd Standing Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea
The 2nd Standing Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), officially the Standing Committee of the 2nd Central Committee (2nd CC), was elected in the immediate aftermath of the 2nd WPK Congress on 30 March 1948 by the 2nd CC's 1st Plenary Session.[1] The composition changed on the merger of the Workers' Party of North Korea and the Workers' Party of South Korea (WPSK) on 24 June 1953, and was again changed after a purge of WPSK-affiliated communists on 6 August 1953.
It sat until the 3rd Congress when it was replaced by the 3rd Standing Committee.
