This year is the 50th anniversary of the adoption by UNESCO in 1970 of the Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export, and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property (the '1970 Convention'). Since its ratification of the 1970 Convention in 1983, the Republic of Korea has domestically implemented the Convention through its Cultural Heritage Protection Act, which was first enacted in 1962. This is a different form of implementation than is normally used for other UNESCO Conventions on cultural heritage, in that the Republic of Korea has recently adopted special acts to enforce the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. In addition, the 1970 Convention has been developed further through the introduction of new Operational Guidelines in 2015 for the concrete enforcement of the Convention, which has provided momentum for the Republic of Korea to analyze its current national legislation related to the 1970 Convention as well as consider its amendment in the future. Overall, the Cultural Heritage Protection Act of the Republic of Korea effectively reflects the duties of States Parties under the 1970 Convention. These include measures to introduce export certificates, prohibit the import of stolen cultural property, return other state parties' cultural property, and impose penalties or administrative sanctions in the event of any infringements. Indeed, the Republic of Korea's implementation of the 1970 Convention was introduced as an example of good practice at the Meeting of State Parties in 2019. However, changes in the illegal market for cultural property and development of relevant international law and measures imply that there still exists room for improvement concerning the legal implementation of the 1970 Convention at the national level. In particular, the Operational Guidelines recommend States Parties to adopt legal measures in two respects: detailed criteria for due diligence in assessing bona-fide purchasers, referring to the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects, and measures to address the emerging issue of illegal trade in cultural property on internet platforms. Amendment of the Cultural Heritage Protection Act and other relevant laws should be considered in order to duly reflect these issues. Taking that opportunity, concrete provisions to facilitate international cooperation in respect of the implementation of the 1970 Convention could be introduced as well. Such measures could be expected to strengthen the Republic of Korea's international legal cooperation to respond to the changing environment regarding illicit trafficking of cultural property and its restitution.

The Group Digital Surveillance System for Fishery Safety and Security (GDSS-F2S) is to provide the target tracking information and the target identification information in order to secure an huge aquaculture farm-field from a thief. The two information, however, is not enough to indict the thief due to the lack of lawful evidences for the crime actions. To overcome this problem, we consider the target image information as one of solutions after discussion with the effective countermeasure tools for the crime actions with scenario-based analysis according to the geological feature of aquaculture farm-field. To capture the real-time image for the trespassing targets in the aquaculture farm-field area, we developed the image capture system which is consists of ultra sensitive CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) camera with 0.0001 Lux and supplementary devices. As results from the field tests for GDSS-F2S with image capture system, the high definite images of the vehicle number plate and shape, person's actions and features are obtainable not only day time but also very dark night without moon light. Thus it is cleary known that the improved GDSS-F2S with image capture system can provide much enough lawful evidences for the crime actions of targets.

The representative example of the business model on internet environment, the business of the Naver, Empas and Google which provides information retrieval service is the internet portal. The portal sites provide information retrieval service which provides users information what they want to find, that is a huge social contribution. The portal site which provides a search service leads much problems. Consequently, the regulation against information retrieval is asserted powerfully in spite of the public interest. Namely, the regulation regarding the search business owner is tried. Finally, portal business owner puts the social responsibility as OSP. But, there is a doubt that portal business owner who has much problem which occurred on the portal site indirectly has responsibility directly. That is duty on portal site owner the censorship on the contents transferred. So, this thesis researches on the social critical opinion relating with a information retrieval from the legal side against the problem of the Internet.

This thesis covers legal aspects of the crypto-currency exchange and the legal rights of crypto-currencies holders. Unlike financial markets in which central authorities or intermediaries determine the validity of transactions and manage records, crypto-currency markets utilize a decentralization system based on block chain technology. Such distinct characteristics distinguish crypto-currency from currency, notes, or financial instruments. Therefore, we need to check closely the legal principles that are applicable to crypto-currency. Crypto-currency users possess rights indirectly through the crypto-currency exchange. However, we should look at whether crypto-currency can be an object of ownership. This research found that legal protection for crypto-currency exchanges are limited. Domestic laws have many shortcomings to protect users' rights. This study found that users who incurred damages due to internet computation errors at exchanges require a protective system like stock markets. Therefore, studies on the legal controls and system regulations are required to protect users' rights. Also, crypto-currency information exchanges keep inside and protections for users' private information need to be further examined.

The Hebei Spirit oil spill incident occurred in December 7, 2007 and caused approximately $12,547k{\ell}$ of crude oil spillage along 370km off the west coast of Korea. Due to the astronomical and irrecoverable damage to the marine ecosystems and the overall living standards of the residents, the oil spill incident has been notoriously named as the "worst oil spill incident" occurred in Korea. Nevertheless, though almost a decade has passed since the tragic incident in Korea, it appears that compensation and recovery efforts seem not close to satisfaction and the local residents are still struggling with various negative impacts incurred by the incident because of critical cleavage among the interests of the relevant parties to the incident. In this paper, the analysis of Hebei Spirit oil spill incident regarding two aspects was carried out; First, meticulously analyze the practical and statistical data of the incident to precisely examine the fundamental causes for its occurrence to further prevent the reoccurrence of such disastrous incident; and the second, comprehensively inspect reasons for the protracted and inefficient damage recovery and victim-oriented compensation. To be specific, this study observed the levels of compensation against damages from the incident, and the adequacy of it in terms of ultimately and inclusively addressing financial, social and ecological aspects based primarily upon the legal verdicts, and statistical and empirical surveys.

We are now entering the era of Commercial Space Transportation with the rapid commercialization of space. Commercial Space Tourism will be realized first of all in the commercial space transportation and the spacecraft is developing for it led by private enterprise such as Virgin Galatic and XCOR Aerospace. The spacecraft for space tourism is developed as Reusable Launch Vehicle(RLV). RLV Spaceship I & II manufactured by the Scaled Composites for Virgin Galatic had completed experimental flight successfully and is going to put to the operation for space travel around the year 2012. In our country, Yecheon Astro-Space Center located in Yecheon, Kyungbuk Province, signed a binding-MOU with XCOR Aerospace and going to start space travel in the year 2013 with the spacecraft LYNX MARK-II. Thus, now space travel has become a reality to us. But it is also reality that there's no study by legal basis preparing for the space tourism domestically and internationally. In this regards, this thesis dealt with legal issues related to space tourism. These are as follows : (1) the applicabe law issue that is which law between air law and space law will apply, (2) the status of space tourist issue that is space tourist can be considered as personnel of a spacecraft and/or space flight participant and has the duty to obey the order of the captain of spacecraft, (3) the responsibility of the government for the non-governmental entities such as private enterprise which involved in space tourism in case space accident occurs during the space travel, (4) license permit and supervision issue by the government (In this point, for activating the market of the space tourism, I think it is essential to guarantee the safety of the spacecraft by the government authority, though U. S. government declared that it has not certified the launch vehicle as safe for carrying crew or space flight participants), (5) registration issue, (6) space insurance issue. For all the issues mentioned above, I have studied the existing international treaties and several country's domestic law to the space by referring U.S's Commercial Space Launch Amendment Act of 2004 and New IGA of 1998 and concluded that uniform legal regime to govern these issues should be established domestically and internationally in the near future.

이 글은 시장지배적사업자의 배타적 거래행위에 관한 논문이다. 우리 독점규제법은 독점이나 과점 그 자체는 금지하지 않고 그 폐해, 즉 시장지배적사업자의 지위남용만을 규제하는 방식을 취하고 있다. 따라서 일반사업자의 불공정 거래행위를 규제하는 규정(동 법 제23조)과는 별도의 규정(동 법 제3조의2)를 두고 있다. 그러나 미국의 경우 독점의 시도자체를 원칙적으로 금지하는 입법 형식을 취하고 있으며(셔먼법 제2조), 사업자의 불공정거래행위에 대해서는 다른 규정에서 다루고 있다(셔먼법 제1조 및 클레이트법 제3조). 그러므로 독점사업자가 배타적 거래행위를 하는 경우, 우리 독점규제법에 따르면 동 법 제3조의2를 적용하여 해결할 수 있다. 그러나 미국의 경우, 우리 독점규제법 제3조의2와 같은 조항이 없기 때문에, 독점화에 관한 규정을 적용해야 하는지 아니면 불공정 거래행위에 관한 규정을 적용해야 하는지가 문제된다. 이 논문의 저자는 이처럼 독점화와 배타적 거래행위가 교차하는 부분을 문제의식을 갖고 보았다. 미국에서는 이 영역에서 발생하는 법적 문제들을 셔먼법 제2조에 관한 판례법을 통해 해결하고 있다. 이와 같이 이 영역을 독점화의 시도와 연관지어 검토했기 때문에, 매우 엄격한 잣대가 적용되었다. 그러나 최근에는 시장지배적사업자의 "효율적인" 행위가 과잉 규제되는 일이 없도록 해야 한다는 비판이 강하게 제기되면서, 이들의 거래행위에 대해 신중히 검토해야 한다는 주장이 일고 있다. 이에 대해 저자는 "신중한" 검토가 항상 중립적이지도 바람직하지도 않은 것이라고 항변한다. 신중한 검토를 하는 동안, 시장에서의 경쟁자들은 생존 자체에 위협은 느끼기 때문이라고 한다. 실제로 미국에서는 시장지배적사업자들이 신속하지 못한 독점금지 소송을 전략적으로 이용하고 있다고 한다. 또한 저자는 "독점금지법은 경쟁을 보호하기 위한 것이지 경쟁자를 보호하기 위한 것은 아니다"는 슬로건에 대해 강한 이의를 제기한다. 경쟁자 없이는 경쟁도 있을 수 없기 때문이다. 그리고 마지막으로 영화 스파이더맨에서 나온 대사로 끝을 맺는다. "큰 힘을 갖게 되면 큰 책임이 뒤따른단다."

This paper examines the provisions in the current law related to impeachment and proposes the direction for legislative improvement. For this purpose, this paper first analyzed the meaning of the provisions related to the impeachment system in the present law and examined the proposed legal theory in applying it to the case. The main purpose of this review is to identify deficiencies and uncertainties in the content of the regulation of law that arise in applying the regulation of law to the cases. The following problems are presented from it.: (1) the provisions on reasons for impeachment prosecution, (2) the distinction between causes of impeachment prosecution, (3) the duty of the National Assembly to investigate the reasons for impeachment prosecution, (4) Provisions concerning the sentencing of dismiss in the impeachment decision (4) "acts of betraying the credibility of the people" as a decision on discharge, (5) provisions on a fixed number for judgment for impeachment In order to solve these problems, this paper used a comparative method to examine cases in the United States and Germany. In addition, when the legal system is heterogeneous, the constitutional ideology or values of our constitutional system are considered and the direction for the legislative improvement is suggested.

Differential-pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry was applied to the Sn(II)-cupferron complex in 0.1 M acetate buffer solution (pH 4.20). Effects of solution pH, ligand concentration, accumulation potential, and accumulation time on the reduction peak current for the adsorptive complex of Sn(II)-cupferron were investigated. Interferences by other metal cations that affected on reduction peak current were also discussed. The detection limit was 3.1${\times}$10-9 M (0.37 ppb) of Sn(II) with 60 seconds accumulation time. The relative standard deviation (n=8) for 5${\times}$10-8 M Sn(II) was 3.0%.

컴퓨터의 발달은 정보의 축적, 처리, 분석과 전달능력을 기하급수적으로 증대 시키면서 사회전반의 효율성과 생산성을 획기적으로 향상시켰다. 그러나, 다른 한편으로는 이에 못지 않은 다양한 사회적 병리현상과 이와 관련된 윤리적 딜레마들을 양산하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 정보사회로의 이행과정에서 제기되고 있는 정보통신 윤리상의 문제점 및 대응방안들을 검토하고, 그 중에서 자율적 규제방안의 하나인 윤리강령을 중심으로 다음과 같은 방법을 통해 향후 바람직한 컴퓨터 윤리 체계의 방향을 모색해 보았다. 첫째, 정보통신 윤리의 탄생 배경을 살펴보았다. 둘째, 현재 행해지고 있는 사회적, 제도적 대응 방안들과 그 현실적 한계점들을 검토하였다. 셋째, 그 중에서 자율적 규제방안의 하나인 윤리강령으로 논의의 범위를 좁혀서 현재 윤리강령들의 내용을 분석하고 바람직한 윤리강령의 조건들을 모색하였다. 끝으로 이상의 논의들을 토대로 향후 바람직한 윤리체계의 확립을 위한 종합적인 방안을 제시하였다. 본 논문은 정보통신망에서 벌어지고 있는 다양한 윤리적 문제점들을 극복하기 위해서 다각도로 모색되어야 할 대응방안들을 제시하였다. 또한, 본 논문은 단기적 차원의 법적 규제나 장기적 차원의 교육적 대응을 보완하면서, 동시에 자율적 합의에 의해 윤리적 원칙을 세워 갈 수 있는 윤리강령의 수립과 그 적극적 활용을 강조함으로써, 현재 우리나라의 컴퓨터 윤리 확립을 위한 구체적이고도 효과적인 대응방안을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.
