남북한이 분단된지 반세기가 다 되었으므로 여러 영역에서 남북한간에 이질화가 일어나는 것은 어쩌면 당연하고 자연스러운 일이라고 생각할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 이질화가 영역에 따라서는 차후 한민족의 동질성회복이라는 큰 일을 수행하는 과정에서 치명적인 걸림돌이 될 수 있음에 주목해야 할 것이다. 남ㆍ북한산 식물에 대한 국명의 이질화도 이러한 관점에서 매우 주목되어 마땅하다. 그 까닭은 이름의 혼란이란 그 분야의 교육과 학문발전에 중대한 장애요인이 되기 때문이다. 남한의 경우 한국산 식물에 대한 국명의 통일작업은 아직도 부분적으로 이루어진 정도여서 해결해야 할 난제들이 많지만, 북한의 경우 이미 1970~80년대에 국가적인 주요과업의 하나로 북한산 동, 식물에 대한 국명 통일작업이 완료되어 북한산 식물은 여러 가지 새로운 이름들로 불리워지고 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 필자는 1992년 과학재단의 방문연구를 통하여 헝가리자연사박물관을 방문하고, 그 곳에 소장된 북한산 식물명집을 입수한 바 있어서, 현재 남한에서 그 명명작업이 완료된 분류군을 대상으로 남북한에 함께 출현하는 식물에 국한시켜 식물명의 비교 검토를 실시하였다. 본 보고는 그 중 하등식물의 조류에 속하는 분류군인 녹조식물과 갈조식물에 대하여 남북한의 국명을 학명과 대비한 것이다. 이와 같은 국명의 비교 검토는 차후 남북한의 식물명 통일작업을 위한 기초자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.

최근 남북 관계는 경제협력, 사회문화교류, 체육교류 등 양적 질적으로 많은 변화가 일어나고 있으며, 향후에도 지속적인 변화가 전망된다. 따라서 우리는 북한의 현실을 객관적인 자료에 의하여 남한과 비교하여 분석할 필요가 있다. 우선적으로 남북한 주요지표 (인구, 경제성장률, 주요 제품 생산량, 사회간접자본 등)를 비교하여 본다. 다음으로 좀 더 구체적으로 석탄, 철광석, 비료, 철강, 직물 등의 광공업의 현황과 산업 발전에 주요 장애 요소가 무엇인지 알아보기로 한다. 그리고 현재 북한에서 채택하고 있는 산업중흥 프로그램이 무엇인지도 조사하기로 한다. 다음으로 북한에서 6자 회담에서도 강력히 요구하고 있는 에너지의 현황과 발전량에 대하여 상세히 알아보며, 북한 산업을 일으키기 위한 인프라의 문제점에 대하여 기술하기로 한다. 다음으로 북한의 교육체계에 대하여 조사하여 보고, 교육체계의 발전방향에 대하여도 검토하기로 한다. 마지막으로 궁극적으로 남북한 통일에 대비한 우리의 준비가 나아가야할 방향에 대하여 기술하기로 한다.

This paper attempts to explore the place of human and disability rights from the perspective of Social Welfare within the context of the UN Disability Rights Convention of 2006. The overall discussion is focused especially upon the situations of human and disability rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) as it is being challenged to drastically address the issues of human rights in general, and disability rights in particular. The UN Disability Rights Convention challenges every ratified State party to commence legal reforms, legal harmonization, and policy and program developments to implement the Convention. Both North and South Korea are not exceptions to this. Even without drawing upon the UN's the Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the dire situation of human rights in North Korea is well documented. However, this paper does not assume South Korea's human rights are any way superior to that of North Korea. This paper spells out areas for further action common to two Koreas and to any other nations for that matter. Apart from the general discussion on disability rights, the distinctive contribution of this paper lies in the fact that it has endeavored to draw upon any latest information and data on North Korea. It relied on various sources from UN and also from North Korea itself. One can note that North Korean disability authorities are making strenuous efforts to improve human rights of persons with disabilities in their desires to seek assistance from outside. It also shows an enormous need for international cooperation in seeking financial and material supports. This paper notes the latest political development between North and South Korea in taking "phased" steps for peace and stability as a positive sign for North and South Koreans' DPOs collaboration under the banner of International Cooperation of the article 32 of the UN Disability Rights Convention. More critically, this paper points to the further need to improve the overall data bases to ensure balanced legal reforms, policy developments and sharpen the areas of international collaboration.

Objective : Psychiatry in North Korea is believed to seem very different from psychiatry in South Korea. However, there is nearly no information regarding psychiatry in North Korea until now. Our study aimed to get information about North Korean psychiatry. Methods : Three North Korean defectors in South Korea, whose clinical experience as medical doctors in North Korea was over 10 years, were recruited. They underwent the semi-structured interview, content of which included the clinical experience with psychiatric patients, the details of psychiatry, the treatment of psychiatric patients, the stigma of mental illness, and the suicide, in North Korea. Results : In North Korea, psychiatric department was called as 49th(pronounced as Sahsip-gu-ho in Korean). Only patients with vivid psychotic symptoms came to psychiatric department. Non-psychotic depression or anxiety disorders usually were not dealt in psychiatry. The etiology of mental illness seemed to be confined to biological factors including genetic predisposition. Psychosocial or psychodynamic factors as etiology of mental illness appeared to be ignored. Psychiatry was apparently separated from political or ideological issues. The mainstay of psychiatric treatment is the inpatient admission and out-of-date therapy such as insulin coma therapy. Stigma over mental illness was common in North Korea. Suicide is considered as a betrayal to his/her nation, and has been reported to be very rare. Conclusion : The situation of psychiatry in North Korea is largely different from that of South Korea. Although some aspects of North Korean psychiatry are similar to psychiatry in former socialist countries, North Korean psychiatry is considered to have also its unique characteristics.

Inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation, in the process, will inevitably lead to various legal disputes, one of which is the issue of compensation for personal injury. The purpose of this study is to present the standards of settlement of disputes between the residents of North and South Korea by examining the North Korean compensation law on the calculation of damages due to personal injury and comparing it with the South Korean compensation law. Understanding the North Korean compensation law is a critical and urgent task, as exchanges and cooperation between the two Koreas are expected to increase in the future. For the South Korean compensation law does not have specific provisions on the estimation of damages, the specific methods and standards for estimating damages are determined by court precedents. The South Korean courts categorize the damages caused by personal injury into active property damages, passive property damages and emotional distress damages and calculate the amount of each damages. On the other hand, the North Korean Compensation for Damage Act stipulates the categories of damage by dividing the cases of personal injury into 1) infringement of health(§41), 2) disability due to infringement of health(§42), and 3) death resulting from human infringement(§44). In addition, the North Korea Compensation for Damage Act specifies the calculation of compensation for damages(§43, §51). Furthermore, South Korea widely acknowledges emotional distress damages for personal injury, whereas North Korea does not recognize emotional distress damages in principle.
