The Politburo Standing Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, usually known as the Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), is a committee consisting of the top leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea. Historically it has been composed of one to five members, and currently has five members. Its officially mandated purpose is to conduct policy discussions and make decisions on major issues when the Politburo, a larger decision-making body, is not in session. While the PSC in theory reports into the Politburo, which in turn reports into the larger Central Committee, in practice the PSC acts as the most powerful decision-making body in North Korea, and its decisions de facto have the force of law.
