Text and language scope
This source supplies German and English versions. The signing clause also identifies Korean as authentic; that third version is NOT present in this reader. Missing here does not mean globally unavailable. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-republic-of-korea-2002-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence.

Pending human wording, completeness, source-authority, currentness, alignment and rendering review. No legal review performed.
