Turkish-Korean Criminal Law Days are held alternately every two years in Türkiye and South Korea as one of the reflections of the strong friendship between the two countries. This symposium, which was held for the 6th time in 2024, has become an institutionalized and widely attended event over the past 10 years. The main theme of this year’s symposium was determined as “The New Challenge of Criminal Law in the Risk Society”, and 14 academicians from Türkiye and 9 academicians from Korea participated in the event. The symposium was organized to discuss ways in which criminal law can deal with new risks in today’s society.
