Abstract

In Mongolia, the regulation related to the private security industry, the Law on Contracted Private Security Services, was legislated relatively recently. The Law on Contracted Private Security Services was enacted into law in Mongolia 16 years ago, in 2000. This regulation has undergone two amendments since its inception. However, new revisions still need to be made to ensure that this regulation is in line with internationally accepted standards and practices. This paper compares the existing private security regulations of South Korea and Mongolia. The purpose of this comparative study was to identify the weaknesses of and problems in the Mongolian regulation and propose amendments to the Mongolian regulation. The comparative study of the two countries' regulations showed and underscored an imperative need to make further amendments to the Law on Contracted Private Security Services. Specifically, the weaknesses of and problems in the Mongolian regulation at issue include the following: the level of accuracy in defining certain legal terms and providing the proper names for various regulations; stipulations which set forth the procedure for registering a private security company; provisions regarding operating a private security company; the details of eligibility and accountability requirements concerning chief executives and security service officers; and the scope of work provisions. This study proposes constructive amendments to strengthen the Law on Contracted Private Security Services.

몽골에서 민간경비와 관련된 법제정은 비교적 최근의 일로, 2000년에 몽골국회가 계약경비서비스에 관한 법을 통과시킴으로써 몽골에서 민간경비가 법적으로 탄생하게 되었다. 그러나 아직까지 몽골의 계약경비서비스에 관한 법은 국제기준에 미치지 못하며 따라서 이를 개정해야 할 필요성이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 경비업법과 몽골의 계약경비서비스에 관한 법을 비교 분석하여 몽골 관련법의 문제점을 파악하고, 그에 따른 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 몽골의 계약경비서비스에 관한 법은 법령의 명칭과 용어, 경비업체의 등록과 영업행위에 관한 절차규정, 경비업체의 대표 및 경비원의 자격요건과 책임성 확보, 경비업무의 범위 등에 문제점이 있다는 사실이 파악되었다. 이러한 문제점들을 개선하고 또 앞으로 몽골의 민간경비산업의 발전을 촉진하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 계약경비서비스에 관한 법의 개선방안을 제시하였다.
