Cooperative scientific research in Antarctic has been successful since the International Geophysical Year 1957/1958. Presently, 43 nations have joined the Antarctic Treaty as consultative parties or acceding states, and other treaties and agreements have evolved to conserve the integrity and to manage the resources of the Antarctic ecosystem. Although yet to be designated, tourism areas in Antarctica are under consideration. Due to its remoteness and vast magnitude, Antarctica's science is slowly emerging. Satellite technology has enabled observation of the progression of the ozone hole above Antarctica. Mineral exploitation has yet to take place, as has the transport of Antarctic icebergs to some arid nations. On the other hand, both seal and whale exploitations have occurred, devastating these populations. The lessons learned from past human greed are used to design krill and squid fisheries, though the life histories of these organisms are yet to be adequately understood. An ecosystem approach to managing Antarctic resource exploitation is essential. Procuring the needed logistics to do so is daunting, requiring the highest degree of international cooperation and educational outreach to nurture the needed effective scientific and engineering talent, both natural and social.

Korea is, after China, the Asian country with the largest number of concluded investment treaties. One of the protections that Korean investment treaties frequently afford to foreign investors and their investment is the so-called "umbrella clause," which requires the host state of the investment to observe the commitments that it has undertaken toward the foreign investor or its investment. This is a potentially very powerful protection. Umbrella clauses, however, have proven to be amongst the most controversial provisions in investment treaties, giving rise to diverging interpretations by tribunals and commentators that are still not reconciled today.

Today FTA extends over the world and Korea as a main member of international trade is no exception. In the past Korea, as the developing countries, has made endlessly effort to induce foreign investment from foreign enterprise and/or government to be a truly OECD countries today and made it. Korea's trade economy was reached 1 trillion dollars in 2012. Now we have to find a new way to produce, process, procure goods from foreign investment and also need to protect our profit and/or rights within foreign judicial territory. There are two method to protect foreign enterprise or government. First they rely on general principles in WTO or Bilateral Investment Treaty that the principle of equality, national treatment, and most-favored-nation treatment, you can create a predictable environment to protect foreign enterprise and/or government. Second they need to incorporate contractual clauses in their agreement such as stabilization clause, force majeure, arbitration, governing law or sovereign immunity. Of course there are many things left behind to consider I hope it will be helpful to those who prepare foreign investment contract.

현재의 국제법제도는 우주의 군사화와 무기화에 대한 안전장치를 제공하지 못한다. 1967년 우주조약 제4조에 명시된 "우주의 평화적 이용"이라는 용어는 정부의 공식 성명서나 다자간 우주관련조약에 표현되어 있지만, 국가 관행을 검토하면 이 용어는 여전히 권위 있는 정의를 내리지 못하고 있다. 이러한 우주조약 제4조의 무기에 대한 모호한 금지는 국가들로 하여금 우주와 천체에 핵무기나 대량파괴무기 이외에 다른 기타 무기의 배치를 허용하고 있다. 1967년 우주조약에 명시된 '우주의 평화적 이용'의 문구는 1979년 달협정에서도 발견되므로 이를 함께 분석해야 한다. 또한 특정 무기통제조치가 포함되어 있지는 않지만 1975년 등록협약도 참고해야 하는데, 등록협약은 적절하게 적용되면 신뢰구축의 역할을 상당히 수행할 수 있다. 그 이유는 동 협약 제4조가 우주물체의 일반적인 기능을 포함한 우주발사물체에 관한 정보를 유엔사무총장에게 제공할 것을 요구하고 있기 때문이다. 한편 2008년 유엔총회의 특별회기 때 군비축소팀에 중국과 러시아가 공동으로 제출하고 나중에 2014년에 개정된 "우주에서의 무기배치와 우주물체에 대한 무력의 위협이나 사용금지조약안(PPWT)"은 우주에서 사용되는 무기에 대한 정의를 제공하고 우주무기확산을 금지하려는 시도를 하고 있지만, 미국이 반대하고 있다. 그 이유는 우주 공간에는 현재 무기경쟁이 없다는 이유에서인데, 실제로 우주에서 천체는 아니고 우주공간(outer void space)은 이미 "군사화"되어 군사적 수단으로 사용되고 있으나 아직 "무기화"는 되지 못하고 있다. 즉, 인공위성이 다른 위성을 파괴하거나 우주에서 발사되어 지구표면을 공격할 수 있는 우주무기는 아직 없고, 지구표면에서 발사된 인공위성을 파괴할 수 있는 능력만 계속 시도되고 입증되고 있을 뿐이다. 우주의 군사적 이용을 규제하기 위해 모든 면에서 통합적이고 구속력 있는 법적 도구의 궁극적인 창조를 목적으로 한 구속력을 가진 법이 채택되어야 한다는 경성법(hard law) 접근법을 지지하는 사람들도 있지만, 현재 그것이 불가능하다면 임시조치로 연성법(soft)인 가이드라인이 개발되어야 할 것이다. 이는 적용시킬 법이 없어서 재판불능(non liquiet) 상태에 이르는 사태에 대비하기 위하여 매우 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 사실 연성법은 조약의 포고에 관하여 지지를 표출하며 국제관습법을 창출하는 데 사용되기도 한다. 1963년 "우주의 탐사와 사용에 있어서 국가의 활동을 규제하는 법원칙 선언"과 1992년 " 원료사용원칙"을 그 예로 들 수 있는데, 전자의 상당 부분은 이후에 제정된 1967년 우주조약에 성문화되었고, 후자는 비록 의무적인 용어로 쓰여졌지만 경성법 못지않게 지속적으로 국가에 의해 준수될 국제관습법의 일부가 되어 가고 있다. 한편 이와 관련하여 1974년 11월 12일 유엔총회에서 채택된 결의에서 '선언'(declaration)과 '결의'(resolution)는 국제법의 발전에 반영될 수 있는 방법으로서 국제사법재판소(ICJ)에 의해서 고려되어야 한다고 권고한 점에 주목해야 할 것이다.

Investment Agreement is to be a part of FTA, as negotiating together both trade and investment. For example, it has a separate chapter about investment in KORUS FTA contract and is more detailed and inclusive than BIT contents which are traditional investment provisions. It is called to the investment norm of FT A. The investment agreement lures a foreign investment by providing the environment which is stable to the foreign investors. Hence, it plans in goal for the economic development of the home country. In international investment, the arbitration award cases are coming out to be divided into two parts applying MFN provisions in investor protective principles and dispute resolution process; the tendency of broad interpretation and the tendency of limited interpretation. In the case of RosInvest Co UK Ltd v. the Russian Federation awarded in 2007, the arbitration tribunal interprets that the application scope of MFN provisions contain the more lucrative dispute provision than other BITs without limitations in entity right of the investor. This judgment is the same view as arbitration tribunal position of Maffezini case. The arbitration tribunal of Plama case has kept out an assertion magnifying the arbitration tribunal's jurisdiction. That is, for applying more inclusive investor-nation resolution method from different treaty, tribunal mentioned that MFN provision had to see clearly a point of applying the investor-nation dispute resolution method. Dispute resolution process providing inclusive MFN provision has both the tendency of broad interpretation and the tendency of limited interpretation. It needs ceaselessly to do the monitoring about cases of arbitration award. In conclusion, the point where MFN provisions are applied conclusively is recognized, but it is still controversial whether or not to magnify the jurisdiction of arbitration tribunal applying MFN provisions. Therefore, it does not exist clear principle in the theory or in the award eases about the application scope for entity protection provision of MFN. Hence, The Korean government of Korea and local autonomous entities needs to keep their eyes on the trend of the international arbitration award cases in relation to the investment dispute for the future. Also, Korean government or local self-governing group must consider MFN provisions when they make a contract of international investment treaty such as writing concretely the application of MFN provisions from KORUS FTA.

스푸트니크 1호 발사 이래 60년이 지난 지금 우주에 대한 고려 없이 경제적, 정치적인 인간의 삶을 생각하는 것은 불가능해졌다. 그러나 우주가 전쟁의 장이될 수 있다는 우려도 확산되고 있다. 따라서 우주상 군비경쟁을 방지하기 위한 여론이 더욱 커지고 있다. 따라서 우주상 군비경쟁을 방지하기 위한 행동규범이나 국제법을 설정하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 국제 사회에서 각국의 입장과 이해 상충으로 인해 구속력 있는 우주 군비통제방안을 수립하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 그럼에도 불구하고 우주의 평화적 이용을 위해서는 장기적이고 지속적이며 체계적인 접근이 필수적이다. 모든 국가는 국익이나 우주 개발 수준에 따라 입장이 다르기 때문에 포괄적 조약을 체결하기 위한 조건은 아직 성숙하지 못했다. 그러나 우주의 지속적인 개발을 위한 우주행동 강령 및 우주 파편에 대한 협력체계 구축 노력 뿐만 아니라 발사 통지와 같은 실용적이고 투명한 신뢰구축 방안에 대한 협력을 지속적으로 추진해야 할 것이다. 우주강국과 개발 국가들의 자발적인 참여를 확보하기가 쉬운 연성적인 조치 (TCBM, 행동 규범)로부터 시작하여 포괄적이고 구속력 있는 조약과 같은 경성적인 조치가 단계적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다. 또한 군비통제 이론에 입각하여 상호정보와 인력을 교환하고 정보를 공유하는 대화의 장을 지속적으로 만들어 나가야 할 것이다. 이러한 노력에 우주강국(미국, 러시아, 중국)이 적극적으로 참여한다면 국제 평화에 기여하게 될 것이다. 또한 지역간 협력을 통해 파트너십을 증진할 필요도 있다. 우주법의 효율성을 제고하기 위해 더 많은 국가가 기존의 국제법에 참여하도록 여론을 형성하고 주도해 나가야 할 것이다. 이러한 노력들이 우주의 안보력 강화에 기여하게 될 것이다.

The purpose of this article is to examine Fair and Equitable Treatment in International Investment Agreements. Most BITs and other investment treaties provide for FET of foreign investments. Today, this concept is the most frequently invoked standard in investment disputes. It is also the standard with the highest practical relevance: a majority of successful claims pursued in international arbitration are based on a violation of the FET standard. The concept of FET is not new but has appeared in international documents for some time. Some of these documents were nonbinding others entered into force as multilateral or bilateral treaties. Considerable debate has surrounded the question of whether the FET standard merely reflects the internationalminimum standard, as contained in customary international law, or offers an autonomous standard that is additional to general international law. As a matter of textual interpretation, it seems implausible that a treaty would refer to a well-known concept like the "minimum standard of treatment in customary international law" by using the expression "fair and equitable treatment." Broad definitions or descriptions are not the only way to gauge the meaning of an elusive concept such as FET. Another method is to identify typical factual situations to which this principle has been applied. An examination of the practice of tribunals demonstrates that several principles can be identified that are embraced by the standard of fair and equitable treatment. Some of the cases discussed clearly speak to the central roles of transparency, stability, and the investor's legitimate expectations in the current understanding of the FET standard. Other contexts in which the standard has been applied concern compliance with contractual obligations, procedural propriety and due process, action in good faith, and freedom from coercion and harassment. In short, meeting the investor's central legitimate concern of legal consistency, stability, and predictability remains a major, but not the only, ingredient of an investment-friendly climate in which the host state in turn can reasonably expect to attract foreign investment.

We study the impact of loss-aversion and the threat of critical damages from insufficient pollutant abatement, which we jointly call threshold concerns, on the outcome of international environmental agreements. We aim to understand whether concerns for a critical level of damages induce cooperation among countries faced with the well-known free-riding problem, and yield sufficient emission reductions to avoid exceeding the threshold. Specifically, we focus on loss-averse countries negotiating under the threat of either high or low environmental damages. Under symmetry, when countries display identical degrees of threshold concern, we show that such beliefs have a positive effect on reducing the emission levels of both signatories to the treaty and non-signatories, leading to weakly larger coalitions of signatories than in the absence of reference dependence. We then introduce asymmetry, by allowing countries to differ in the degree of concern about the damages. We show that stable coalitions are mostly formed by the countries with higher threshold concerns. When enough countries exhibit standard preferences, the coalition size may diminish, regardless of the degree of concern by the others.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the limitation of liabilities of multimodal transport operators(MTO) in Korea. Also, this paper reviews the revised draft of Korean Commercial Code in 2015. This paper analyzes Korean multimodal transport systemand the limitation of liabilities of MTO by analyzing articles, regulations and practices of Korean Commercial Code and it's the draft in 2015. The paper, also, studies multimodal transport rules by comparing specifically international treaty, rules, or practices. In Korea, Article 816 of Commercial Code treats multimodal transportation adopting the network liability regime. The Article describes only the case of the multimodal transportation where the maritime carriage is engaged. Korea proposed the draft of multimodal transport regulation of Commercial Code in 2015 because present law could not apply for the multimodal transportation involved in the air or land carriage. This paper support the draft of Korean Commercial Code in 2015 because it is necessary to make a predictable legal system of multimodal transport and the limitation of liability reflecting practices or customs.
