  • 우주의 급속한 상업화와 더불어 본격적인 상업우주운송시대가 열리고 있다. 이 상업우주운송 중 가장 먼저 실현될 것으로 보이는 분야는 우주여행분야로서 이를 위한 우주운송체 개발이 Virgin Galatic 사와 XCOR Aerospace 사 등 민간기업의 주도로 진행되고 있다. 우주여행을 위한 우주운송체는 재 사용가능한 운송체(Resuable Launch Vehicle)로 개발되고 있으며 Virgin Galatic사의 Spaceship I과 II는 시험비행을 성공리에 끝내고 2012년 경 부터 본격적인 우주여행에 투입할 계획이다. 우리나라도 예천천문연구센타에서 XCOR Aerospace사와 동사의 LYNX MARK-II를 도입하는 양해각서를 체결하고 계획대로 라면 2013년부터 동 우주선을 사용하여 우주여행을 실시하려고 하고 있다. 이와 같이 이제는 우주여행은 우리에게 먼 미래의 이야기가 아니라 현실적인 문제가 되었다. 그러나 우주여행을 위한 법적측면에서의 대비는 거의 마련되어 있지 않은 것도 국내외적 현실이다. 이에 따라 본 논문은 우주여행과 관련하여 발생할 수 있는 제반 법적 문제점을 (1) 항공법과 우주법 중 어느 법의 적용을 받아야 하는가 하는 적용법 문제와, (2)우주여행객의 법적지위 문제를 우주선원으로 볼 수 있는가와 우주비행참가자로 볼 수 있는가를 우주관련 조약과 미국의 개정 상업우주발사법을 통하여 살펴보고 우주여행객에 대한 우주선선장의 권한 문제도 살펴보았다. (3)우주여행사고시의 책임문제는 정부 및 비정부단체의 국제책임문제와 관련하여 살펴보고, (4)허가와 감독문제는 미국의 AST의 사례와 개정 상업우주발사법을 통하여 고찰하였다. 특히 우주선의 안전성 보장 문제가 우주여행의 본격화를 위해서는 필수적인 점에서 현행 법제도상의 한계점과 개선점에 대해서도 살펴보았다. (5)우주여행선의 등록문제도 우주물체 등록협약과 관련하여 살펴보고, (6)마지막으로 우주여행 사업의 리스크 보전차원에서 우주보험 문제를 제3자 손해에 대한 보험과 자기재산에 대한 손해 순으로 보험문제를 살펴보았다. 우주여행이 본격적으로 활성화되기 위해서는 적어도 본 논문에서 언급되고 있는 법적 문제점들에 대한 검토와 이에 대한 법적 제도적 보완 장치가 조속히 국내적으로도 국제적으로도 마련되어야 할 것으로 본다.

  • 상사중재는 문제를 해결하고 사업 파트너간 분쟁에 대한 해결책을 찾는 신속하고 효과적인 방법이다. 상사중재 발전을 위해 이론 뿐 만 아니라 실무차원에서 중재연구의 접근이 필요하다. 본 논문은 파키스탄 국내 중재법과 파키스탄에서 적용되는 국제상사중재제도에 대한 상황과 접근방법 등을 제시하였다. 파키스탄에서 새롭게 정비된 2009년 중재법은 국내중재, 국제상사중재, 외국 중재판정의 집행뿐 만 아니라 국제투자분쟁의 해결에 관한 법률을 통합하는 것을 목표로 한다. 더 나아가 2011년에 파키스탄 투자자의 신뢰를 회복하기 위해 외국인 투자자를 보호할 수 있는 법을 도입하기도 하였다. 본 논문은 파키스탄의 중재법의 과거부터 현재까지 진전된 관계를 설명하고 새로운 법령에 의해 적용된 변경사항을 설명하고 중재계약 및 판정을 다루는 파키스탄 중재 법률, 규칙 및 절차를 실무차원에서 포괄적으로 제시하였다. 잠재시장인 파키스탄관련 통상정보가 부재한 상황에서 한국무역학자들에게 파키스탄 상사중재제도에 관한 실무적 이해를 돕기 위하여 작성되었다.

  • 중국과의 무역거래가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 가운데 상사분쟁 발생 가능성도 커지고 있으며 사회주의 국가체제에 익숙하지 못한 한국 기업의 입장에서는 중국의 상사중재제도에 대한 연구는 필수불가결하다. 근래 중국은 국제표준과 시장경제에 맞추어 국내법규를 개정함으로써 외국기업들에게 법적 안정성 보장을 위한 지속적인 노력을 하고 있지만 여러 가지 문화적, 정치적, 사회적 특성으로 말미암아 법규의 내용에 한계점과 실무상의 문제점이 존재한다. 중국 상사중재제도는 국내중재와 국제중재 일부 구별 적용, 임시중재 불인정, 당사자자치의 제한, 중재기관의 독립성 부족, 중재에 대한 사법간여, 판정집행의 곤란 등 다른 국가와 차이점이 있다. 또한 중국의 중재기관에서는 중재절차 중에 판정부가 직접 조정을 진행하고 조정결과를 판정서로 작성하는 중재와 조정의 결합이 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같은 본 논문은 중국 상사중재제도의 법적 주요내용을 살펴봄으로써 중국 기업과의 상사분쟁해결에 대한 법적 실무적 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Appointment of arbitrators is very important in arbitration. As it has been a long laps since Korean peninsula was devided into two parts, South and North, it has come to be too much gaps between South and North in the law, social system, commercial practice and etc.. South Korea is familar to international commercial practice and capitalistic legal system generalized internationally in modern times. On the other hand as North Korea was closed society for a long time, they are not familar to international commercial practice and market economy. In this connection, commercial disputes arising from the transactions between South and North will occur frequently and it will be very difficult to select governing law or commercial practice referred to the disputes. Under the circumstances, when and if an arbitrator from South or North will be appointed as presiding arbitrator in the tribunal composed by three arbitrators, the part from which the presiding arbitrator come will be a majority, and it will be advantageous to the parties came from the part of which the presiding arbitrator come from. Such being the case, sole arbitrator or presiding arbitrator needs to be appointed among foreigner. Otherwise I recommend the tribunal composed by two arbitrators and umpire system. As to arbitrator's fee, as there is a big gap in its economic aspects between South and North, I supposed to need establishing the fund made by corporation with South and North in order to compensate arbitrators from South or abroad for their fee. Finally it is more important to prevent disputes arising from transactions between South and North. In order to prevent the disputes, education for North Korean about international commercial practice and skill to make a contract of international sale of goods and investment are needed.

  • In connection with international commercial arbitration the need to seek interim relief is generally recognized. Interim reliefs address the requirements of a party for immediate and temporary protection of rights or property pending a decision on the merits by the arbitral tribunal. The most common forms of interim relief are attachments and injunctions. If the arbitral tribunal has not yet been appointed, an application for interim relief must usually be addressed to the local courts at the place of commercial arbitration. If the arbitral tribunal has been appointed, the application for interim relief is first made to the arbitral tribunal. Interim relief by the arbitral tribunal is in the form of a direction to the parties. Since the arbitral tribunal has no enforcement power, it may be necessary to have a arbitral tribunal's direction confirmed by a local court which can enforce its order. The New York Convention does not provide for interim reliefs. The question is whether Article II(3) of the New York Convention that the court "shall, at the request of one of the parties, refer the parties to arbitration" denies jurisdiction to courts to grant interim reliefs in international commercial arbitration. Some cases have indicated that the U. S. court have no power to grant interim relief. Other cases have indicated that the U. S. courts do have the power to grant interim relief. It is unlikely that a U. S. court will order interim relief in relation to an commercial arbitration in a foreign country. Article 26 of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules provides with respect to interim measures of protection. Section 1 of Article 26 of UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules provides that the arbitral tribunal may take any interim measures it deems necessary in respect of the subject matter of the dispute, including measures for the conservation of the goods forming the subject matter in dispute. This article gives the arbitral tribunal the broadest authority, not limited to safeguarding property. Article 17 of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration provides that the arbitral tribunal may order any party to take such interim measure of protection as the arbitral tribunal may consider necessary in respect of the subject matter of the dispute. It may be noted that the article does not deal with enforcement of such measures. The International Chamber of Commerce Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration do not expressly empower the arbitral tribunal to grant interim reliefs. However, Article 8.5 of the ICC Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration provides that the parties shall be at liberty to apply to any competent judicial authority for interim measures. In conclusion, the power of the arbitral tribunal to provide interim reliefs is generally recognized in the arbitration rules of arbitral institutions. However, the arbitral tribunal's authority is limited by its lack of enforcement mechanisms. It is generally recognized that the local courts have power to grant interim reliefs in aid of an commercial arbitration. However, local courts are reluctant to grant interim reliefs if that decision requires an adjudication of issues within the special competence of the arbitral tribunal.

  • The UNCITRAL Arbitration Working Group began its deliberations on the topic of interim measures of protection at its thirty-second session (Vienna, 21-30 March 2000), when the Working Group expressed general support for a legal regime governing enforcement of interim measures of protection ordered by the arbitral tribunal. Also the Working Group took a preliminary analysis of whether there was a need for a uniform rule on court-ordered interim measures of protection in support of arbitration. The Working Group agreed, at its thirty-third session (Vienna, 20 November-1 December 2000), that the proposed new article to the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration on enforcement of interim measures of protection (tentatively numbered article 17 bis) should include an obligation on courts to enforce interim measures if prescribed conditions were met. At its thirty-fourth session (New York, 21 May-1 Jun 2001), in addition to continuing its review of draft article 17 bis, the Working Group proceeded to consider a text revising article 17 of the UNCITRAL Model Law, which defined the scope of an arbitral tribunal's power to order interim measures and included an additional provision on the granting of interim measures on an ex parte basis. Discussions in relation to revised drafts of article 17 and 17 bis of the UNCITRAL Model Law have continued at the fortieth session ( New York, 23-27 February 2004). Article 17 of the UNCITRAL Model Law provides that the arbitral tribunal may order any party to take such interim measure of protection as the arbitral tribunal may consider necessary in respect to the subject matter of the dispute. However it may be noted that the article does not deal with enforcement of such measures.

  • The ISP 98 is developed by the American Institute of International Banking Law & Practice in 1998. The ISP98 are also published as ICC Publication No. 590. A detailed commentary on the rules("The Official Commentary on the International Standby Practice") has been written by Professor James E. Byrnes. Presently there is no compelling reason to revise the rules themselves even if ten years is passed since the issuance of ISP98. Insteadthe American Institute of International Banking Law & Practice will provide Model Forms in the early 2009. Special features of the ISP 98 are as the following. Firstly, the ISP 98 is copyrighted by the Institute of International Banking Law and Practice, Inc., and published by the International Chamber of Commerce. Secondly, the ISP 98 differs from UCP in style and approach because it must receive acceptance not only from bankers and merchants, but also from a broader range of those actively involved in standby law and practice corporate treasurees and credit manager, rating agencies, government agencies and regulators, and indenture trustees as well as their counsel. Because standbys are often intended to be available in the event of disputes or applicant insovency, their texts are subject to a degree of scrutiny not encountered in the commercial letter of credit context. Thirdly, the ISP 98 supplement the UCP if the UCP dose not have the relative rule. Lastly, the ISP 98 has the official commentary. In addition, several provision of the ISP 98 would surprise the commercial parties and/or are rather peculiar, while some of them display a certain bias in favor of the banks.

  • This study describe the brief history and current statutes of Philippine arbitration. The practice of arbitration in the Philippines can be traced as far back as the barangay. From 1521, Spanish Civil Code became effective in the Philippines. During this period, the Supreme court was discouraged by the tendency of some courts to nullify arbitration clauses on the ground that the clauses ousted the judiciary of its jurisdiction. According to the growing need for a law regulating arbitration in general was acknowledged when Republic Act No.876(1953), otherwise known as the Arbitration Law, was passed. In 1958, the Philippines became a signatory to the New York Convention and in 1967 the said Convention was ratified. But no legislation has been passed. As a consequence, foreign arbitral awards have sometimes been deemed only presumptively valid, rather than conclusively valid. Fifty years after, the Philippine Congress enacted, Republic Act No. 9285, otherwise know as the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 2004. The enactment was the Philippines solution to making arbitration an efficient and effective method specially for international arbitration. To keep pace with the developments in international trade, ADR Act of 2004 also ensured that international commercial arbitration would be governed by the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Arbitration and also fortified the use and purpose of the New York Convention by specifically mandating. If the international commercial arbitration will be revitalization in the near future in the Philippine, it will be shown that the model law's comprehensive provisions will give the beat framework for arbitration.. The writer expect that Philippines continues in its effort to be the premier site for international arbitration in Southeast Asia.

  • Overriding Mandatory rules are laws that purport to apply irrespective of the law chosen by the parties to govern their contractual relations. This article examines their role and applicability in international arbitration. The overriding mandatory rules pose a complex and continuing problem for arbitrators because they put the interests of states and parties in direct competition. When a law says that arbitrators must apply it, yet the parties' contract excludes it, what should the arbitrators do? Where should their allegiance lie? The answer depends on the underlying nature of arbitration - and since that can be legitimately conceptualized in different ways, a principled approach to overriding mandatory rules seems to be impossible to provide. Nevertheless, a practical solution is required, because there were European cases in which courts voided valid arbitration agreements made, reasoning that arbitrators certainly would not apply and/or take into account its overriding mandatory rules of indemnity right granted to commercial agent and distributor in Europe. Therefore, this paper first examines status of overriding mandatory rules of another law in international litigation and then explores any possibility of application of overriding mandatory rules of another law in international commercial arbitration. With this analysis, the author reaches into a conclusion that the arbitrator should and/or take into account overriding mandatory rules of another law, yet should limit to them of the country where characteristic performance is made under the contract.
