  • In this paper, we look at the relationship between international trade and the rule of law, using the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index, which include index figures on human rights, limits on government powers, transparency and regulatory efficiency. Based on regression analyses using the rule of law index figures and international trade figures (merchandise trade, service trade, exports and imports as percentage of GDP,) international trade and basic human rights seem to have little relationship; but trade has a close positive relationship with strong order and security. Somewhat surprisingly, regulatory transparency and effective implementation seems to have little or no effect on international trade and vice versa. International trade shows a clear positive relationship with the country's criminal justice system, but the relationship with the civil justice system is not as clear as such. For regulatory implementation and civil justice, services trade positively affect these institutions, but these institutions in turn affect exports more strongly than services trade. Finally, the effect of trade on rule of law is stronger on a medium to long term (10-20 year) time horizon.

  • Runoff at any given location along a stream can be expressed as a function of its upstream area. The runoff-drainage area relationship can be well expressed as power-law (Brush, 1961) with its exponent, ranging as high as unity (e.g., Stall and Fok, 1968) and as low as 0.5 in natural rivers. Here, we study the runoff-drainage area relationships for Han River and Nakdong River, Korea. We find that the relationships follow power-law and their exponents are highly related with occurrence frequency of flow. To support this, we analyze flow frequency with historical data measured over decades. Findings in this study can broaden our understanding on mechanisms behind the catchment response to runoff.

  • 중국 민용항공법은 1995년에 처음으로 제정되고 나서 20여년 사이에 처음으로 전면적인 개정이 이뤄졌다. 이번 개정은 20여년 동안의 민용항공법 시행 실천경험에 비추어, 국내외 민용항공법의 입법과 민용항공 국제협약의 최신성과를 참조하고 항공안전에 대한 감독과 관리를 강화하고 소비자 권익을 보호함으로써 민용항공활동이 안전하고 질서 있게 발전하고 민용항공활동에 관련되는 여러 당사자의 이익의 균형을 도모하고 민용항공사업 발전을 촉진함으로써 중국을 민용항공 강대국으로 건설하는데 유력한 법적 보장을 마련하는 것을 지도사상으로 하고 있다. 이번 개정안에서는 항공안전을 강화하기 위하여 항공제품의 안정생산 각 단계에서의 담당자의 책임과 관련 부문의 관리책임을 명확히 하였고, 공공항공운송기업의 항공기 추적능력의 설립을 강화하였으며 위험물품운송에 대한 법적인 규제를 강화하였다. 또한 이번 개정안에서는 안보를 강화하는 업무원칙, 관련 기관의 직책과 불법소란행위 등을 명확히 하고 이를 위반하는 경우 부담해야 하는 법적책임을 상당히 강화하였다. 국가에서는 민용항공산업의 발전을 지지한다는 원칙하에 민용항공산업의 발전을 위하여 자금투자를 위한 법적 보장을 마련하고 각급 정부에서 공항건설과 발전을 촉진하는데 있어서의 직책을 명확히 하였으며, 정부의 관리와 통제가 과도하여 민용항공산업의 발전과 자원배치에 불리한 심사비준제도를 등록제도로 변경함으로써 정부당국의 권한을 줄이고 공공운송기업의 설립조건을 조정하는 등 일련의 통용항공산업의 발전을 위하여 법적인 제도를 개혁하였다. 이외에도 소비자 권익을 보호하는 획기적인 규정들이 새로 개정되었는데 항공운송총조건을 운송계약의 구성부분임을 명확히 밝히고 항공기 지연에 관한 항공사의 책임을 묻는 지도원칙을 확립하고 1999년 몬트리올협약에 따라 항공운송인의 배상책임한도액과 배상책임제도를 조정하였다. 이외에도 항공기사고 발생시 지면제3자에 대한 손해배상에 대한 리스크를 줄이기 위하여 항공운송인의 보험가입을 적극적으로 격려하는 규정을 마련하였다. 동 개정안은 비록 현행 민용항공법상의 미비점을 상당부분 보완하였지만 국내항공운송과 국제항공운송인의 책임을 차별화하여 별도의 규정을 두었다는 점, 항공기내에서의 핸드폰 사용 등을 소란행위로 포함시켰다는 점으로 보아 항공안전을 이유로 지나치게 여객의 권익을 제한한 것은 아닌지, 항공기 산업발전을 위한 정부의 격려정책이 중국이 가입한 WTO 협정에 위배될 소지를 남겼다는 등 부분은 향후 더 검토하여 신중하게 개정안에 반영해야 할 사안이다. 현재 민용항공법 개정안은 의견수렴을 거친 상태이다. 그러나 전국인민대표대회 상무위원회 2016년 10월 31일부터 11월 7일 까지의 심사 및 의사결정 일정표를 보면 민용항공법 초안이 포함되지 않았다. 따라서 2017년에 민용항공법 개정초안이 인민대표대회 상무위원회 심사 및 의견결정 일정에 포함되는 것이 급선무 일 것이며 일단 동 일정에 포함되어야 만이 법 개정이 신속하고 효과적으로 진척이 될 수 있다. 따라서 그 이전까지는 의견의 불일치가 많은 조항부터 전문가들과 사회공중의 광범위한 논의를 진행하게 될 것이다.

  • The downing of the MH17 reminds the world that the international civil aviation is not as safety and security as people expected. Such tragedy is partly due to the risk and danger of the armed conflict zones, but is more attributed to the ignorance to the international law by the responsible parties concerned. International laws applicable to the armed conflict zones shall be strictly followed, and the reparation shall be provided to the victims, otherwise such disaster could not be avoided in the future.

  • Most legal systems provides the aggrieved buyer with a right to put an end to the contract. Unlike Civil Law systems, the right is rather complicated and uncertain in Common Law systems because they do not sharply distinguish between a refusal which amounts merely to a defence in the nature of the exceptio non adimpleti contractus, and one which is intended to abrogate the aggrieved party's obligations completely and to seek restitution of what he has already performed. That is, they do not draw any sharp distinction between the right of rejection or revocation and the right to put an end to the contract. This explains why the right to put an end to the contract under Civil Law systems are often compared with the right of rejection or revocation under Common Law systems in most academic papers. Having said that, this article describes and analyzes in detail the relevant UCC rules to the buyer's right of rejection and revocation, particularly the rules on the requirements for the right of rejection or revocation. This is for the purpose of providing legal advice to our sellers residing either in U.S.A. or in Korea who plan to enter into U.S.A markets and take academics' interest in the buyer's right which is deemed to be unique compared to the Civil Law systems. In addition, the study attempts to compare the rules as to the right of rejection and revocation under the UCC with those of English law which are stipulated mainly in the Sale of Goods Act (1979) in a statutory form. This may help one better to understand the rules of the UCC which are mostly originated with English law and to find in what way the rules of the UCC depart from those of English law.

  • It is necessary to systematically explore the reform plans of the Software Industrial Promotion Law to systematically a representative high-added value future knowledge-based industry, software industry. The current Software Industrial Promotion Law provides only one provision on software business contract procedures, and the Civil Code, the National Contract law or Subcontract Fairness Law regulate other things, so the features of software industry are not properly reflected. To the contrary, the Information Communication Construction Law or the Construction Basic Law effectively prevent disputes by providing material and detailed provisions. Therefore the current software industry needs to be shifted from promotion to fundamental one. That is, as the software industry takes up a large portion at present, so the law should have basic procedural provisions. Also the National Contract Law governs only the contract procedures of public sector, so there should be business performance procedural provisions to regulate the software business formalities of civil sector. And the National Contract Law controls the sale, construction and service of articles at separate contract procedures, but software business contains construction and service characters simultaneously, so there should be business performance procedures fit for software business. Thus this study presented the legislative need and bill on the performance procedures of software business.

  • Currently major countries, including the USA, have developed and contrived to activate ADR(Alternative Dispute Resolution) in order to both choose effective means for dispute resolution and establish the reformation of the judicial system; thus meeting people's revamped expectations due to the rapid increase of, and diversification in, civil disputes. This is why there has been some haste in many countries to organize systems for this, so called, 'the Fundamental ADR Act' which regulates the essential structure to accelerate the use of ADR and strengthen the links with trial procedures. For example, in 1999 Germany revised it Civil Procedure Act, to allow for a pre-conciliation process in cases involving only small sums of money. Whilst, with regard to the Civil Procedure Act in France, new regulations have been introduced with regard to actions before either a suit or return to conciliation. In the United Kingdom, as far back as 1988, additions to the legal structure allowed for expansion of regulations applying to ADR. By 1999 the new ADR regulations were part of the legal structure of the UK Civil Procedure Act. The USA passed the federal law for ADR in 1998. Since then the world has tried to enact this model in UNCITRAL on international conciliation. When we consider this recent trend by the world's major countries, it is desirable that the fundamental law on ADR should be enacted in Korea also. This paper traces the object, and the regulatory content required, for the fundamental ADR law to be enacted in Korea's future. Firstly, the purpose of the fundamental ADR law is limited only to the private sector, including administrative and excluding judicial sector and arbitration, because in Korea the Judicial Conciliation of the Civil Disputes Act, the Family Disputes Act and the Arbitration Act already exist. Secondly I will I examine the regulatory content of the basic ADR Act, dividing it into: 1)regulations on the basic ideology of ADR, 2)those on the transition to trial procedures of ADR, and 3)those on the transition to ADR from trial procedures. In addition I will research the regulatory limitations of ADR.
