  • 무인항공기는 조종사를 탑승하지 않고 지정된 임무를 수행할 수 있도록 제작한 비행체로서 독립된 체계 또는 우주 지상체계들과 연동시켜 운영 하는 기체이다. 이 같은 무인항공기의 경제발전의 가능성으로 인하여 정부는 무인항공기가 세계 항공기 시장에서 우리나라가 항공 선진국으로 진입할 수 있도록 적극 지원 중이다. 무인항공기는 항공산업 발전의 블루오션이지만 이에 따르는 법적 분쟁 요소도 만만치 않다. 소형으로 제작된 무인항공기는 고성능 카메라 및 센서에 기록되는 이착륙 및 운항노선 주변의 기록들을 피찰영자의 동의 없이 마음 것 촬영할 수 있는바 이에 대한 사생활 침해에 대한 우려가 있다. 또한 무인항공기가 민간상용화 된다면 무분별한 사용으로 사생활 침해 발생이 예상된다. 무인항공기로 인해 국민이 원치 않는 사생활 노출이 발생한다면 무인항공기 운영자들에게 손해배상책임이 발생할 수 있고, 이는 무인항공기산업 발전을 위해 고려되어야 하는 요소이다. 현재 무인항공기 산업을 주도하고 있는 미국에서도 무인항공기 사생활 침해 관련 정책은 개발 중이며, 효율적인 대책 마련을 준비하고 있다. 무인항공기에 관련한 법이 시행되고 있지 않기 때문에 무인항공기 사생활 침해에 따른 모든 법적 대책을 마련하는 것이 필요하다. 미국과 같이 무인항공기 사생활 보호를 도모하기 위해 무인항공기 사생활보호법(안)을 제시하였다. 현재 시행 중인 법이 많기 때문에 새로운 법안을 제시하는 것은 법적 안정성을 해할 수 있지만 국민들의 안전한 삶을 위해서 법을 제정하는 것은 피할 수 없는 일이다. 개인정보보호법이 시행 중이지만 무인항공기 관련 사생활 침해가 발생했을 때 무인항공기의 특수성에 대한 개인정보보호법을 적용하기기 녹록치 않을 것이기 때문에 미국 입법안과 개인정보보호법을 참고하여 무인항공기의 사생활 침해를 대비한 사생활보호법(안)을 제시하였다.

  • 일반항공은 민간항공분야의 중요한 구성요소로서 상업비행을 제외한 광범위한 분야를 아우르며 주권국의 경제적 수요와 안전 요구사항을 충족시키기 위하여 각기 상이한 운항 절차와 방식으로 개별 국가들에 의해 규제되는 특징을 가지고 있다. 지난 30년간 중국의 상업항공은 중국의 경제 발전과 함께 급속한 성장을 이루어 왔지만 일반항공분야는 이와 함께 발전해오지 못하고 상업항공분야에 비해 상대적으로 경시되어왔다고 할 수 있다. 그리하여 현재 중국의 일반항공산업은 최근 중국정부의 저고도공역 개선 정책과 더불어 근본적인 변화와 성장을 맞이할 준비가 되어있지만 현재 관련 산업을 규율하고 있는 중국 일반항공법의 흠결이 일반항공 부문의 발전을 가로막고 있으며 일관되지 못한 법의 적용이 여러 혼란을 야기하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문은 다음과 같이 중국 일반항공법의 흠결을 분석하였다. 국제민간항공기구(ICAO)와 여러 ICAO 회원국이 채택한 일반항공에대한 다양한 정의를 검토한 후 미국, 유럽연합(EU), 호주 그리고 중국의 일반항공산업 발전에 대하여 살펴보았다. 또한 시카고 협약과 부속서 그리고 그 외 다양한 중국내 관련법을 분석하며 중국 일반항공법의 법원(法原)에 대해서 고찰하였다. 마지막으로 여러 관련규정들 내의 각기 다른 정의조항과 법리적 모순, 정부보조금 집행 원칙의 개선 필요성, 온실가스 배출이나 소음문제와 같은 환경보호 문제등을 예로들며 현재 중국 일반항공법의 결함을 지적하였다. 이에따라 본 연구는 건전하고 진보적이며 지속가능한 일반항공분야의 발전을 위해 공정경쟁과 항공안전이 보장될 수 있는 일관성있고 체계적인 법률체제가 뒷받침 되어야 한다는 결론을 도출하였으며 이를 위한 다양한 개선방안을 제시하였다.

  • Broadcasting services sector has been facing strong public pressure to shift gears from regulation to deregulation since mid-1990s, where a triggering role was played particularly by rapid development of IT technology and content digitization. Major agenda was how to reduce regulatory divides between more liberal telecommunication sector and less liberal broadcasting. After all, common solution package worldwide was for the latter to switch over from network-dependent(vertical) to network-independent(horizontal) regulation, and to facilitate more open and competitive transmission with content market kept protected. This is no other than decoupling content provision from broadcasting and promoting market access towards the latter. Policy experiences of US and UK show that there exists a complementary relationship between quantitative and qualitative restrictions in implementing such deregulation. While mitigating quantitative ownership regulations in broadcasting, they also sought to systematize, so-called, PIT(public interest test) as a qualitative safety device to cope with the risk of losing fundamental public values accordingly in broadcasting. Recent domestic progress in broadcasting legislation in 2009, however, seems to overlook the growing importance of PIT in the process of deregulation. Bearing this motivation in mind and taking account of the relevant WTO disciplines, this paper is to address policy issues and suggestions for PIT in Korea's broadcasting services sector.

  • The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law on March 23, 2010 and will fundamentally alter health care in the United States for years to come. The US is currently one of the only industrialized countries without universal health insurance. The new law expands existing public insurance for the poor. It also provides financial credits to low income individuals and some small businesses to purchase health insurance. By government estimates, the law will bring insurance to 30 million people. The law also provides for a significant new investment in prevention and wellness. It appropriates an unprecedented $15 billion in a prevention and public health fund, to be disbursed over 10 years, as well as creates a national prevention council to oversee the government's prevention efforts. This paper discusses 3 major prevention provisions in the legislation: 1) the waiving of cost-sharing for clinical preventive services, 2) new funding for community preventive services, and 3) new funding for workplace wellness programs. The paper examines the scientific evidence behind these provisions as well as provides examples of some model programs. Taken together, these provisions represent a significant advancement for prevention in the US health care system, including a shift towards healthier environments. However, in this turbulent economic and political environment, there is a real threat that much of the law, including the prevention provisions, will not receive adequate funding.

  • Purpose: The United States of America have pre-migration screening program are mandated through legislation. The one of purpose of this program is to prevent the importation of certain communicable diseases. Examinations of migration applicants are performed by panel physicians who are licensed physicians in the countries of origin that have agreements with the government departments of the country of destination to undertake this activity. In recent decades, the number of US migrants has increased, however COVID-19 impacted this trend of international migrants. The Aim of this study is to examine trends of US applicants and outcomes of tuberculosis and sexual transmitted infections (STIs) screening in South Korean applicants for US visa. Methods: A total of 4,442 applicants participated in US visa health check-up in 2016 to 2020. Results: The numbers of applicant for US visa in males and females was 1,814 and 2,628. The positive results in tuberculosis and STIs screening was noted with 0.66% in nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), 0.03% in tuberculosis, 0.03% in gonorrhea, 0.08% in syphilis, and 0.74% in chlamydia. The age groups of 2 to 14 years showed higher positive rate (13.89%) in tuberculin skin test (TST) tests compared to the rate of interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) tests (0.44%, P<0.001). The positive ratio of NTM and abnormal chest X-ray (CXR) which required sputum tests among the applicants over 15 years old has trends to increase with age. The age groups of over 70 years showed high positive rate in NTM and abnormal CXR (4.10%, 20.51%). However, ages 15 to 49 years groups showed 0.00% to 0.30% in NTM and 1.08% to 3.91% in abnormal CXR. In the study population, the positive rates of STIs were 0.03%, 0.08%, and 0.74% in gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia, respectively. Among the participants who underwent sputum smears and cultures were just 1 case of active tuberculosis (0.03%) and 25 cases of NTM infection (0.66%). Conclusion: This study found that rate of positivity in tuberculosis and STIs screening among South Korean applicants for US visa in 2016 to 2020. Regarding tuberculosis, the positivity of CXR among the aged 15 to 59 years applicants was lower than that among over 60 years old. Among 2 to 14 years, positivity of IGRA was very low. And IGRA test can reduce effort of further evaluation compared to TST test in South Korea, so IGRA test among young adults can be useful. High positive rates in STI among young adult could result in high active sexuality, especially chlamydia infection is most common. Therefore Chlamydia polymerase chain reaction should be considered formal protocol among the Korean applicant for US visa.

  • 국제카르텔분쟁의 경우 적용실질법의 영역에서는 전세계적으로 이른바 효과이론이 제정법 내지는 판례법의 대세를 이루고 있다. 그런데 구체적 적용에 있어서 유럽방식은 적어도 피고의 주소지에서는 손해 전체를 청구할 수 있는데 반하여, 미국법원에서는 미국에서 발생된 손해에 대해서만 배상을 받을 수 있게 되어 원고의 권리실현에 미흡하다. 이와 같은 관점에서 이 글은 불법행위에 관한 준거법을 규정함에 있어서 유형별 특칙을 두지 않고 모든 불법행위에 하나의 연결점을 규정하고 있는 국제사법이 경쟁제한금지위반행위에 적절하게 대처하고 있지 못하고 있다고 진단하여 국제사법 개정의 필요성을 제기하였다. 구체적인 제안내용으로 시장침해지를 원칙적인 연결점으로 하고, 피고에게 직접적이고 본질적인 침해가 발생한 곳에서 여러 나라에서 입은 손해 전체를 청구할 수 있는 선택권을 제공하여 국제카르텔 사건의 경우 이른바 모자이크원칙에 따른 문제점을 해소하고자 하였다.
