South Korea Plans Phased Adjustment of Civilian Control Line Near Border with North Korea
South Korea will begin a phased adjustment of the Civilian Control Line, or CCL, starting in 2027, moving its boundaries closer to the inter-Korean border. The change aims to allow greater civilian access to frontier areas and promote regional development.
South Korea's Defense Ministry announced plans to move the boundaries of the Civilian Control Line closer to the border between South and North Korea. The CCL, which currently extends as far as 6.2 miles south of the Military Demarcation Line, restricts civilian access to areas subject to military controls. The adjustment will begin in 2027 and will affect roughly 270 square kilometers of land near the border, according to dw. Farmers in the border area had long complained about restrictive rules affecting their work.
