초록

내수란 영해기선의 육지측 수역으로 연안국의 주권이 미치는 수역이며, 다만 직선기선을 채용하여 새로이 내수로 편입된 곳에서는 연안국의 주권과 함께 외국선박에게는 무해통항권이 인정된다. 특히, 우리나라는 서남해안에 직선기선을 채용하여 무해통항이 인정되는 넓은 내수를 보유하고 있는데, 어업 안전 환경 안보 등 연안 이익을 보호하기 위해 내수를 이용하는 외국선박을 적절히 관리할 필요가 있다. 또한, 영해의 경우에도 연안국의 주권이 미치는 수역으로 연안국의 주요 이익의 보호를 위해 매우 중요한 수역이다. 최근 내수나 영해에서 무단정박 정류하는 외국선박과 충돌사고가 빈번히 발생하여 우리나라에 큰 위협이 되고 있다. 이에 이 논문은 우리나라 내수 또는 영해에서 무단으로 정박·정류한 외국선박의 충돌사고에 관한 사례를 분석하고, 외국선박의 내수 및 영해 통항에 관련된 국내외 법체계를 확인하고 고찰하여, 내수 및 영해에서 외국선박의 무단정박은 무해통항요건을 위반한 것으로, 관련 법률에 따른 처벌가능성을 제시하였고, 내수 및 영해통항 및 정박에 관한 바람직한 법제도 정비방안을 제시하였다.

Internal Waters refer to the waters located at the landward side of a baseline and is completely under the sovereignty of a coastal state. However, the right of innocent passage of foreign-flag vessels is recognized in internal waters that are newly incorporated by establishing a straight baseline. Korea has a massive Internal Waters on its south-western coast where the straight baseline is adopted and has a wide Internal Waters that allows innocent passage. A foreign-flag vessel navigating the internal waters must be properly managed according to the interest of the coastal states such as the fishing·safety·security·environment around the Korean coast. Additionally, Territorial Sea comes under the sovereignty of a coastal state and it is a very important sea area for managing the interests of the coastal states. However, several collision accidents involving illegally anchored or drifted foreign-flag vessels have been occurring recently in the Korean Internal Waters and Territorial Sea, and such accidents are a threat to its interests. Thus, this paper analyzes the cases of collision of foreign-flag vessels that anchored or drifted without authorization, and examines domestic·international laws on the passage of foreign-flag vessel through Internal Waters and Territorial Waters. Finally, this paper suggests that unauthorized anchoring of foreign-flag vessels in Korean Internal Waters and Territorial Water violates the requirements for innocent passage and this violation is punishable according to related Acts; a desirable improvement plan for the legal system of passage through Internal Waters and Territorial Waters.
