초록

남 북한간 정전협정시 해양경계를 정하지 못했으며, 주변국과 관할해역 경계가 명확하지 않다. 유엔군사령부는 6.25전쟁 이후 정전협정 준수를 위해 북방한계선과 작전구역을 설정해 해 공군 세력의 활동을 통제했고, 우리나라는 작전구역 내에서 북한선박의 통항을 통제해 왔다. 작전구역 내에서 제3국 선박은 항해의 자유를 향유하지만, 북한선박은 교전국으로서 통항이 통제되는 특수한 해양 제도가 유지되고 있다. 그러나, 작전구역이 설정된 이후 유엔해양법협약 발효, 남 북한의 유엔 가입 등 변화가 지속되고 갈등요인이 있어 작전구역의 지리적 범위를 보완할 필요가 있다. 또한 해군의 기능적 역량 강화를 위해 해군함정에게 북한선박 통제를 법적으로 보장하는 조치가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 6.25 전쟁 이후 한반도 주변해역에서 북한선박을 통제하여 온 실례와 북한선박 통항통제 제도에대한 개선방안을 살펴보았다.

The boundaries of ROK maritime jurisdictional area remains unclear as two Koreas failed to draw clear maritime boundaries at the armistice agreement and there are no clear maritime boundaries with China and Japan. After the Korean War, the United Nations Command established the northern limit line(NLL) as well as the area of operations(AO) to enforce the DPRK's compliance with the armistice agreement and has been controlling all of the maritime and air activities in the region. ROK also has been controlling the passage of DPRK vessels in the area. Within the AO, third nation vessels have freedom of navigation, Yet, due to the division followed by the Korean War, ROK classifies DPRK as a hostile state and unique controling system is applied to DPRK vessels. Since the establishment of the AO, many changes have been occurring such as adoption of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea(UNCLOS) and two Koreas' joining the UN. Also, there are continuous inter-Korean conflicts. Therefore, the geographical span of the AO needs to be reconsidered. Furthermore, a legal measure which ensures ROKN vessel's functional capability of controling DPRK vessels must be introduced. This thesis examines post-Korean War DPRK vessel control system in the Korean peninsula as well as how it should be improved.
