  • Is it lawful to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment applied to a patient in a terminal condition or permanent unconscious condition? In Korea, there are no such laws or regulations which control affairs related to the withholding or withdrawal life-support treatment and active euthanasia as the Natural Death Act or the Death with Dignity Act in the U. S. A. And in addition there has had no precedent of Supreme Court. Recently Supreme Court has pronounced a historical judgment on a terminal care case. The court allowed the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from a patient in a permanent unconscious state. Fundamentally the court judged that the continuation of that medical treatment would infringe dignity and value of a patient as a human being. And the court required some legal grounds to consider such withdrawal or withholding of medical care lawful. The legal grounds are as follow. First, the patient is in a incurable and irreversible condition and already entered a stage of death. Second, the patient executed a directive, in advance, directing the withholding or withdrawal of life-support treatment in a incurable and irreversible condition or in a terminal condition. Otherwise, at least, the patient's will would be presumed through his/her character, view of value, philosophy, religious faith and career etc. I regard if a patient is in a incurable and irreversible condition or in a terminal condition, the medical contract between a patient and a doctor would be terminated because of the actual impossibility of achievement of it's purpose. So I think the discontinuation of life-sustaining care would be legally allowed without depending on the patient's own will.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 사회복지법인의 법적 성격을 살펴보고 이와 밀접히 관련된 외부이사제의 필요성을 법률적으로 검토함으로써 향후 사회복지사업법의 개정 방향에 관하여 제안하는 것이다. 사회복지법인의 법적 성격을 일률적으로 공공부문 또는 민간부문이라고 파악해온 학설 및 판례를 소개하고 이들을 비판적으로 검토하면서 본 연구는 다양한 요인을 기준으로 시설법인의 성격과 지원법인의 성격을 구분하는 성격 이원론을 제시한다. 성격 이원론에 따르면, 시설법인의 경우 상대적으로 공공성이 강하여 공공부문에 가깝고 이에 따라 사적자치가 제한될 수 있으므로 외부이사제의 필요성이 크고 법률적으로도 합헌이라고 볼 수 있다. 반면, 지원법인의 경우 상대적으로 공공성이 약하여 민간부문에 가깝고 이에 따라 사적자치가 보장되어야 하므로 외부이사제의 필요성이 크지 않고 법률적으로도 위헌의 소지가 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 시설법인에 대하여만 외부이사제를 적용하고, 지원법인에 대하여는 투명성을 담보할 수 있는 규제만을 남겨두고 외부이사제를 폐지하는 것이 바람직하다는 입법론을 제안한다. 이렇게 할 때 사회복지법인들의 고유한 사업목적과 운영철학이 존중되고 사회복지서비스의 다양성이 실현될 수 있을 것이다.

  • The purpose of this thesis is to do a research on suppression of peacetime international terrorism and penal system of terrorists by political and economic means. International terrorism means wanton killing, hostage taking, hijacking, extortion or torture committed or threatened to be comitted against the innocent civilian in peacetime for political motives or purposes provided that international element is involved therein. This research is limited to international terrorism of political purposes in peacetime, especially, hijacking of civil aircraft. Hijacking of civil aircraft include most of international terrorism element in its criminal act and is considered to be typical of international terrorism in view of multinationality of its crews, passengers and transnational borders involved in aircraft hijacking. Civil air transportation of today is a indispensable part of international substructure, as it help connect continuously social cultural and economic network of world community by dealing with massive and swift transportation of passengers and all kinds of goods. Current frequent hijacking of civil aircraft downgrade the safety and trust of air travel by mass slaughter of passengers and massdestruction of goods and endanger indispensable substructure of world community. Considering these facts, aircraft hijacking of today poses the most serious threat and impact on world community. Therefore, among other thing, legal, political, diplomatic and economic sanctions should be imposed on aircraft hijacking. To pursue an effective research on this thesis aircraft hijacking by six Chineses on 5th May, 1983, from mainland China to Seoul, Korea, is chosen as main theme and the Republic of Korea's legal, political and diplomatic dealing and settlement of this hijacking incident along with six hijackers is reviewed to find out legal, political diplomatic means of suppression and solution of international terrorism. Research is focused on Chinese aircraft hijacking, Korea-China diplomatic negotiation, Korea's legal diplomatic handling and settlement of Tak Chang In, mastermind of aircraft hijacking and responses and position of three countries, Korea, China and Taiwan to this case is thoroughly analyzed through reviewing such materials as news reportings and comments of local and international mass media, Korea-China Memorandum, statements of governments of Korea, China and Taiwan, verdicts of courts of Korea, prosecution papers and oral argument by the defendants and lawyers and three antiaircraft hijacking conventions of Hague, Tokyo and Montreal and all the other instruments of international treaties necessary for the research. By using above-mentioned first-hand meterials as yardsticks, legal and political character of Chinese aircraft hijacking is analyzed and reviewed and close cooperation among sovereign states based on spirit of solidarity and strict observance of international treaties such as Hague, Tokyo and Montreal Conventions is suggested as a solution and suppressive means of international terrorism. The most important and indispensable factor in combating terrorism is, not to speak, the decisive and constant resolution and all-out effort of every country and close cooperation among sovereign states based on "international law of cooperation."

  • 우리나라 유역 상류부의 물 공급 소외 지역에서 취수원 용량이 극히 제한적인 계곡부 지역 등을 대상으로 샌드댐을 설치·운영함으로써 대체수자원 확보시설로 활용하고자 하는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 샌드댐이 가장 활발하게 설치·활용되고 있는 것으로 알려져 있는 아프리카 지역 일부 국가들의 경우 샌드댐에 관한 별도의 법제도를 수립·적용하고 있는 사례를 찾아보기 어렵다. 샌드댐은 지하수댐의 일종으로서, 그 개념, 구조적·기술적 형태와 특성, 목적과 용도, 기능 등에 비추어 현행 「지하수법」 상 명시되어 있는 지하수자원확보시설로서의 법적 성격과 지위를 갖는다고 할 것이다. 지하수자원확보시설에 관한 규정의 해석과 적용 역시 이를 뒷받침한다. 따라서 샌드댐 사업은 「지하수법」을 근거로, 지하수자원확보시설의 설치·관리 사업의 하나로 추진·시행되는 것이 법논리적으로나 현실적으로 타당하고 합리적이다. 다만, 현행 명문 규정상 지하수자원확보시설에 샌드댐이 당연히 포함되는 것으로 볼 수 있는지에 대해서는 다소 명확하지 않은 점이 있어 그에 관한 종합적 고찰과 더불어 관련 법제도의 개선이 요구된다고 할 것이다.

  • General interest in the out-of-court dispute resolution system are mounting in Korea, and the spread of ADR(alternative dispute resolution) is the worldwide trend. In addition, it was confirmed that the resolution of disputes by ADR such as the decision based on arbitration made by the Prime Ministerial Administrative Decision Committee is no longer in exclusive possession of the civil case. The activation of ADR could lead to the smooth agreement between parties by getting away from the once-for-all mode of decision such as the dismissal of the application or the cancellation of disposal and the like in relation to administrative cases for the years. In consequence, it is anticipated that the administrative litigation that applicants have filed by not responding to the administrative decision would greatly reduce in the future. But, it would be urgent to provide for the legal ground of the ADR system through the revision of related laws to take root in our society because ADR has no legal binding power relating to the administrative case due to the absence of its legal grounds. The fundamental reason for having hesitated to introduce ADR in relation to the administrative case for the years is the protective interest of the third party as well as the public interest that would follow in case the agreement on the dispute resolution between parties brings the dispute to a termination in the domain of the public law. The disputes related to the contract based on the public law and the like that take on a judicial character as the administrative act have been settled within the province of ADR by applying the current laws such as the Civil Arbitration Law, Mediation Law, but their application to the administrative act of the administrative agency that takes on a character of the public law has been hesitated. But as discussed earlier, there are laws and regulations that has the obscure distinction between public and private laws. But there is no significant advantage in relation to the distinction between public and private laws. To supplement and cure these defects it is necessary to include the institutional arrangement for protection of the rights and benefits of the third party, for example the provision of the imposition of the binding power on the result of ADR between parties, in enacting its related law. It can be said that the right reorganization of the out-of-court dispute resolution system in relation to the administrative case corresponds with the ideology of public administration for cooperaton in the Administrative Law. It is high time to discuss within what realm the out-of-court dispute resolution system, alternative dispute resolution system, can be accepted and what binding power is imposed on its result, not whether it is entirely introduced into the administrative case. It is thought that the current Civil Mediation Law or Arbitration Law provides the possibility of applying arbitration or mediation only to the civil case, thereby opening the possibility of arbitration in the field of the intellectual property right law. For instance, the act of the state is not required in establishing the rights related to the secret of business or copyrights. Nevertheless, the disputes arising from or in connection with the intellectual property rights law is seen as the administrative case, and they are excluded from the object of arbitration or mediation, which is thought to be improper. This is not an argument for unconditionally importing ADR into the resolution of administrative cases. Most of the Korean people are aware that the administrative litigation system is of paramount importance as the legal relief for administrative cases. Seeing that there is an independent administrative decision system based on the Administrative Decision Law other than administrative litigation in relation to administrative cases, the first and foremost task is the necessity for the shift in thinking of people, followed by consideration of the plan for relief of the rights through the improvement of the administrative decision system. Then, it is necessary to formulate the plan for the formal introduction and activation of ADR. In this process, energetic efforts should be devoted to introducing diverse forms of ADR procedures such as settlement conference, case evaluation, mini-trial, summary jury trial, early neutral evaluation adopted in the US as the method of dispute resolution other than compromise, conciliation, arbitration and mediation

  • 아동복지(또는 청소년복지)와 관련한 법제를 연구하는 데는 다양한 접근이 가능하다. 최협의로는 아동복지법에 대한 연구이고, 최광의로는 아동 또는 청소년복지와 관련된 일체의 법령에 대한 연구이다. 또는 아동복지를 사회보장(사회복지)의 일종으로 보아 출산, 양육, 보육에 대한 경제적 지원으로 한정해 볼 수도 있다. 그런데 어떠한 접근을 하든 우리나라에서 아동복지 또는 청소년복지 관련 법이 무엇인가를 살펴보고자 하면 불가피하게 다음과 같은 미결의 문제에 직면하게 된다. 우선 아동과 청소년의 개념이 불분명하다. 아동복지법은 18세 미만의 자를 아동이라고 하고 있는 반면(제2조 제1호), 청소년기본법에서는 "청소년"을 9세 이상 24세 이하의 자라고 하고 있고(제3조 제1호), 청소년보호법은 청소년을 만 19세 미만의 자를 말한다고 규정하고 있다(제2조 제1호). 아동과 청소년의 법적 개념이 모호한 결과 아동복지와 청소년복지의 개념과 범위도 불분명해진다. 아동복지가 청소년복지를 포함하는 개념인지, 청소년복지가 아동복지를 포함하는 개념인지, 아니면 양자는 별개의 개념인지가 모호하다. 아동복지법에는 아동복지에 관한 개념 규정이 없고, 청소년기본법에서 청소년 복지를 "청소년이 정상적인 삶을 영위할 수 있는 기본적인 여건을 조성하고 조화롭게 성장 발달할 수 있도록 제공되는 사회적 경제적 지원을 말한다"(제3조 제4호)고 정의하고 있으나, 아동복지와 청소년복지를 구분하는 단서는 없다. 또한 아동복지법과는 별도로 청소년복지지원법이 있는데, 양 법에 의해 아동복지와 청소년복지가 분리되는 것인지도 분명치 않다. '아동복지법'이든 '청소년복지지원법'이든 복지를 다루고 있다는 점에서는 차이가 없는데 '복지법'과 '복지지원법'이라는 명칭 때문에 아동복지와 청소년복지가 구분된다고 보는 것은 타당치 않아 보인다. 그런데 실제로 아동복지법은 요보호 아동에 관한 규정을 두고 있는 반면, 청소년복지지원법은 모든 청소년에 대한 보편적 복지를 주요 내용으로 하고 있다. 그러한 연유에서인지 최근 사회복지 분야에서는 아동복지와 청소년복지를 구분하여 전자는 주로 요보호 아동에 대한 선별적 복지를, 후자는 모든 청소년에 대한 보편적인 복지를 의미한다고 보고 있다. 그러나 용어만으로 볼 때 아동복지를 요보호 아동에 대한 복지, 청소년복지를 모든 청소년을 대상으로 한 복지라고 할 만한 근거는 없다. 이같은 문제를 염두고 두고 아래에서는 아동 및 청소년 관련법이 어떠한 이유로 현재의 혼란스러운 상태에 이르게 되었는가를 그 역사적 발전과정을 통해 살펴본 후 현행의 법률들이 아동 및 청소년을 어떻게 정의하고 있는가, 그 대상은 누구인가를 검토해 본다. 나아가 아동 및 청소년복지 법제의 헌법적 근거와 그 범위 획정에 대하여 알아보고, 법 체계상의 문제점과 개선방안이 무엇인가를 모색해 보기로 한다.

  • This article examines some factors that should be taken into consideration as the number of arbitrators to constitute arbitral tribunal, how to select them and the characteristics of arbitrators by their expert field, and the various problems that may arise in selection of arbitrators. When dispute parties select one arbitrator or a chairman of arbitral tribunal, they should consider the characteristic of case. When legal problem is more important, they should select a lawyer, whereas when trade practice is more important, they should select a businessman. Especially, when they decide to select a businessman as one arbitrator or a chairman of arbitral tribunal, they allow him not to write the reason of award if possible because he is lack of know-how to write it. Also, dispute parties should acquire the information of the main career and character of arbitrator, his experience of arbitration and so on before they select him.

누가 머틀을 두려워하랴? -『위대한 갯츠비』에 함축된 디오니소스 (Who's Afraid of Myrtle?: Dionysus Implied in The Great Gatsby)

  • F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby has been interpreted to be saturated with the lamentation over the distortion and evaporation of the American dream. The application of Friedrich Nietzsche's mythic concept of Dionysus, discussed in The Birth of Tragedy, surfaces a fresh layer of the novel, subverting the established pessimistic reading. To focus on a peripheral character, Myrtle Wilson, through Nietzsche's theory brings forth an optimistic vision of the author. A Dionysian ecstasy so powerfully overwhelms Myrtle that she perceives Tom, the very picture of corruption and crime in Fitzgerald's text, as a benefic liberator. Her impassioned perception of Tom enables her to soar over both legal or moral censorship and her realistic confinement. Myrtle's amoral passion endows her with the vital desire to live. Her Dionysian dynamo embodies the core of new version of the American dream Fitzgerald suggests as a measure to reanimate the lost generation of his nation.
