South Korea's National Assembly passed a resolution Tuesday calling for the immediate arrest of President Yoon Suk-yeol and seven other officials over last week's botched martial law declaration.

According to law, a National Assembly resolution, like a bill, is subject to the process of proposal, review by the jurisdiction committee and deliberation by the plenary session, but it will not have legal effect.
