The WTO's dispute settlement system has played a significant role in settling trade disputes between countries, and its function and role have been expanded by handling about 596 disputes since its establishment in 1995. This shows that the WTO's dispute settlement system is gaining enormous trust among member countries that it recognizes as a fair, effective, and efficient system for resolving trade disputes. The U.S. remains uncooperative in the WTO dispute settlement system, citing disregard for the 90-day deadline for appeals, continued service by persons who are no longer A.B. members, issuing advisory opinions on issues not necessary to resolve a dispute, A.B. review of facts, and review of a member's domestic law de novo. The A.B. claims its reports are entitled to be treated as a precedent. These problems should be gradually improved through various discussions and agreements by establishing a multilateral forum for resolving disputes and gradually ending the problems through reform of the DSU.

Over the past 20 years, labor standards have been widely used in free trade agreements. The U.S., the European Union and China have all aggressively signed free trade agreements with their trading partners, developing different styles on labor standards. According to the study, the implementation of the KOREa-EU FREE trade agreement has been hampered by ongoing disputes over the terms of the FREE trade agreement and the ILO since the korea-EU free trade agreement was signed. Because in order to break this deadlock, relevant scholars have done a lot of research, but mainly focused on the economic and trade field. Therefore, this paper for the first time systematically studies the substantive focus of disputes over FTA and ILO clauses, and carefully analyzes the domestic law amended by South Korea, and provides suggestions and inspirations for China by drawing lessons from the revision model of South Korea's domestic law. This is from a newperspective: the essence of the korea-EU FTA and ILO disputes is the conflict between international law and domestic law, and the conflict between free trade agreements and human rights protection. It holds that the essence of disputes should be sorted out from the perspective of legal principles and human rights protection, and the free trade and human rights protection should be actively coordinated. In order to make China more actively integrate into the international economy, China should adopt a positive attitude to revise and perfect its own laws, so as to realize the purpose of common development of international trade and human rights protection.

In these days, arbitration helps alleviate some of the burden of a heavy caseload from the judiciary and is a viable method to resolve disputes in a relatively quick and efficient manner. An award of punitive damages is often the most significant and detrimental part of an award arising from a judicial or arbitral proceeding. In 1995, the United States Supreme Court resolved a circuit split. upholding an arbitral panel's authority to award punitive damages under a securities arbitration agreement. This decision was monumental in establishing arbitral power. However, it left several questions unanswered. For example, which, if any, standards should be applied to such awards？ The decision in Sawtelle, adopting a separate ground for review of punitive damages awards, is one that signals a significant change in the field of arbitration. This article addresses the reviewability of punitive damages awards arising out of a securities arbitration hearing. It would be necessary to introduce securities arbitration system to our disputes resolution system. Compared to American practices, there could be many differences in recognition on arbitration and legal structure in our country. Thus it will be a future assignment to consider seriously and carefully what kind of securities arbitration system will be proper for us.

의료관광은 21세기 새로운 고부가가치 관광산업이라고 할 수 있다. 각 국가마다 다양하고 차별화된 의료관광 상품개발로 의료관광산업은 더욱더 활성화 될 것이다. 이러한 의료관광에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 의료관광상품을 개발하고 홍보하기 위해서는 관광객의 수요와 관심분야를 정확하게 분석하고 제공할 의료관광 상품을 준비해야 한다. 정부는 의료관광산업을 고부가가치 창출을 통한 국가경제발전과 Global Healthcare산업 전문가 육성 등을 통한 고용창출에 대한 기대효과가 큰 산업으로 보고, 의료관광 분야의 지원정책을 확대하여 의료관광 출입국 제도 개선, 의료관광객을 위한 원스톱 서비스 제도, 의료관광인력 양성제도 등을 도입하였다. 하지만 외국인 환자와 의료관광 유치업자와의 분쟁이 발생하고 있으며, 외국인 환자와 의료인의 의료사고분쟁, 외국인 환자를 대상으로 하는 여행업 종사자들과의 분쟁 등이 발생하고 있다. 본 논문은 의료관광과 관련하여 유치업자를 중심으로 발생하는 분쟁에 대한 유형을 검토하고 그에 대한 해결방안을 검토를 시도하였다. 이를 통해 의료관광 유치업자는 중개된 급부를 알선할 의무와 동시에 상당한 주의를 가지고 그 사무를 처리하여야 할 책임이 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 중개계약 성립 후에 적극적으로 중개결과에 이르기까지 소극적으로 대처하여 분쟁이 발생할 경우에는 그에 대한 책임에서 벗어나기 어렵다. 또한 의료관광 중개계약에서 유치업자는 외국인환자에게 급부의 내용에 설명의무와 조언의무를 부담하는 것을 알아야 한다. 외국인환자와 보건산업진흥원 "외국인환자 의료분쟁 해결을 위한 중재제도 안내"를 보면, 외국인환자가 진료계약서 작성할 때 외국인환자에게 의료사고로 인한 분쟁이 발생할 경우 우선적으로 "의료사고 피해구제 및 의료분쟁 조정 등에 관한 법률"에 따라 분쟁을 해결할 수 있는 방안을 마련하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 방법이 외국인환자를 보호하는데 충분한 것인지에 대한 논의는 좀 더 다양한 관점에서의 논의가 필요하다고 생각한다. 의료관광을 활성화시키기 위해서는 다양한 상품을 개발하는 것도 매우 중요하지만, 그와 관련한 분쟁이 발생할 경우 그에 대한 대처 방안도 사전에 마련해 두어야 할 것이다. 그렇게 함으로써 우수한 의료기술뿐만 아니라 외국인 의료관광객에게 신뢰를 바탕으로 더 커다란 발전을 할 수 있으리라 기대한다.
