  • This study concerns possible measures to prevent separatists' terrorist acts against overseas Korean businessmen. Of late, many Korean enterprises are helping a number of foreign countries develop their economy, by building factories and manning regional offices in those countries. But recent development of terrorism especially against Korean businessmen is alarming. This report discusses the need for Korean enterprises heading overseas to prepare themselves with awareness of terrorism and possible protective measures against it, besides their routine pursuance of profits; and for the government and prospective enterprises to refrain from investing in those countries having active separatist movements. If an investment has become inevitable, a careful survey of the region in conflict should be conducted and self-protective measures should be put in place through security information exchange, emergency coordination and training of personnel, etc. This study will first review the past terrorist incidents involving employees of overseas Korean enterprises, and then will focuss on seeking effective measures on the basis of the reported incidents. In carrying out the study, related literature from both home and abroad have been used along with the preliminary materials reported and known on the Internet from recent incidents. 1. The separatist movements of minority groups Lately, minority separatist groups are increasingly resorting to terrorism to draw international attention with the political aim of gaining extended self rule or independence. 2. The state of terrorism against overseas Korean enterprises and Koreans Korean enterprises are now operating businesses, and having their own personnel stationed, in 85 countries including those in South East Asia and Middle East regions. In Sri Lanka, where a Korean enterprise recently became a target of terrorist bombing, there are 75 business firms from Korea and some 700 Korean employees are stationed as of August 1996. A total of 19 different terrorist incidents have taken place against Koreans abroad since 1990. 3. Terrorism preventive measures Terrorism preventive measures are discussed in two ways: measures by the government and by the enterprises. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by the government - Possible measures at governmental level can include collection and dissemination of terrorist activity information. Emphasis should be given to the information on North Korean activities in particular. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by individual enterprises - Organizational security plan must be established by individual enterprises and there should also be an increase of security budget. A reason for reluctant effort toward positive security plan is the perception that the security budget is not immediately linked to an increment of profit gain. Ensuring safety for overseas personnel is a fundamental obligation of an enterprise. Consultation and information exchange on security plan, and an emergency support system at a threat to security must be sought after and implemented. 4. Conclusion Today's terrorism varies widely depending on reasons and causes, and its means has become increasingly informationalized and scientific as well while its method is becoming more clandestine and violent. Terrorist organizations are increasingly aiming at enterprises for acquisition of budgets needed for their activities. Korean enterprises have extended their business realm to foreign countries since 1970, exposing themselves to terrorism. Enterprises and their employees, therefore, should establish their own security measures on the one hand while the government must provide general measures, on the other, for the protection of the life and property of Korean residents abroad from terrorist attacks. In this regard, set-up of a counter terrorist organization that coordinates the efforts of government authorities in various levels in planning and executing counter terrorist measures is desired. Since 1965, when the hostile North Korea began to step up its terrorist activities against South Koreans, there have been 7 different occasions of assassination attempt on South Korean presidents and some 500 cases of various kidnappings and attempted kidnappings. North Korea, nervous over the continued economic growth and social stabilization of South Korea, is now concentrating its efforts in the destruction and deterioration of the national power of South Korea for its earlier realization of reunification by force. The possibility of North Korean terrorism can be divided into external terrorist acts and internal terrorist acts depending on the nationality of the terrorists it uses. The external terrorist acts include those committed directly by North Korean agents in South Korea and abroad and those committed by dissident Koreans, hired Korean residents, or international professionals or independent international terrorists bought or instigated by North Korea. To protect the life and property of Korean enterprises and their employees abroad from the threat of terrorism, the government's administrative support and the organizational efforts of enterprises should necessarily be directed toward the planning of proper security measures and training of employees. Also, proper actions should be taken against possible terrorist acts toward Korean business employees abroad as long as there are ongoing hostilities from minority groups against their governments.

  • One of the controversial issues in investor-state investment arbitration is the interpretation of "umbrella clause" that is found in most BIT and FTAs. This treaty clause requires on Contracting State of treaty to observe all investment obligations entered into with foreign investors from the other Contracting State. This clause did not receive in-depth attention until SGS v. Pakistan and SGS v. Philippines cases produced starkly different conclusions on the relations about treaty-based jurisdiction and contract-based jurisdiction. More recent decisions by other arbitral tribunals continue to show different approaches in their interpretation of umbrella clauses. Following the SGS v. Philippines decision, some recent decisions understand that all contracts are covered by umbrella clause, for example, in Siemens A.G. v. Argentina, LG&E Energy Corp. v. Argentina, Sempra Energy Int'l v. Argentina and Enron Corp. V. Argentina. However, other recent decisions have found a different approach that only certain kinds of public contracts are covered by umbrella clauses, for example, in El Paso Energy Int'l Co. v. Argentina, Pan American Energy LLC v. Argentina and CMS Gas Transmission Co. v. Argentina. With relation to the exhaustion of domestic remedies, most of tribunals have the position that the contractual remedy should not affect the jurisdiction of BIT tribunal. Even some tribunals considered that there is no need to exhaust contract remedies before bringing BIT arbitration, provoking suspicion of the validity of sanctity of contract in front of treaty obligation. The decision of the Annulment Committee In CMS case in 2007 was an extraordinarily surprising one and poured oil on the debate. The Committee composed of the three respected international lawyers, Gilbert Guillaume and Nabil Elaraby, both from the ICJ, and professor James Crawford, the Rapportuer of the International Law Commission on the Draft Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts, observed that the arbitral tribunal made critical errors of law, however, noting that it has limited power to review and overturn the award. The position of the Committee was a direct attack on ICSID system showing as an internal recognition of ICSID itself that the current system of investor-state arbitration is problematic. States are coming to limit the scope of umbrella clauses. For example, the 2004 U.S. Model BIT detailed definition of the type of contracts for which breach of contract claims may be submitted to arbitration, to increase certainty and predictability. Latin American countries, in particular, Argentina, are feeling collectively victims of these pro-investor interpretations of the ICSID tribunals. In fact, BIT between developed and developing countries are negotiated to protect foreign investment from developing countries. This general characteristic of BIT reflects naturally on the provisions making them extremely protective for foreign investors. Naturally, developing countries seek to interpret restrictively BIT provisions, whereas developed countries try to interpret more expansively. As most of cases arising out of alleged violation of BIT are administered in the ICSID, a forum under the auspices of the World Bank, these Latin American countries have been raising the legitimacy deficit of the ICSID. The Argentine cases have been provoking many legal issues of international law, predicting crisis almost coming in actual investor-state arbitration system. Some Latin American countries, such as Bolivia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, already showed their dissatisfaction with the ICSID system considering withdrawing from it to minimize the eventual investor-state dispute. Thus the disagreement over umbrella clauses in their interpretation is becoming interpreted as an historical reflection on the continued tension between developing and developed countries on foreign investment. There is an academic and political discussion on the possible return of the Calvo Doctrine in Latin America. The paper will comment on these problems related to the interpretation of umbrella clause. The paper analyses ICSID cases involving principally Latin American countries to identify the critical legal issues arising between developing and developed countries. And the paper discusses alternatives in improving actual investor-State investment arbitration; inter alia, the introduction of an appellate system and treaty interpretation rules.

  • 지구정지궤도는 위성통신과 방송을 위한 필수요소로서 ITU 체제가 그 관리의 중심이다. ITU체제는 지구정지궤도를 이용하고자 하는 주관청의 사전신청 및 조정 의무를 규정하고 있으며, ITU 사무국과 RRB는 등록원부 등재 및 삭제를 통해서 정지궤도 이용권을 관리하고 있다. 등록원부에 등재된 위성망 정보는 관련 주관청과의 조정의 결과에 따라서 그 지위가 달라진다. ITU 무선규칙은 위성망 정보를 등재한 주관청이 실제로 위성을 운용하는가의 여부에 따라서 등재정보가 삭제 또는 변경되도록 하여 지구정지궤도가 필요한 주관청이 실질적으로 사용할 기회를 보장하고 있다. 그러나 위성망을 신청하는 주관청 국가의 국적과 지구정지궤도에서 실제로 운용되는 인공위성의 국적이 같아야 한다는 규정이 없으며, 또한 위성망을 신청한 주관청 국가와 인공위성간의 연결관계에 관한 규정도 없고, 주관청과 위성망 소유 기업간의 연결 관계에 관한 규정도 없다. 이러한 상황에서 지구정지궤도를 둘러싼 분쟁은 사실상 주관청만이 아니라 기업이 등장하는 조정을 통해서 해결되고 있다. 그 결과는 위성 궤도를 거래하는 사실상의 이차 시장의 등장이다. 이차 시장의 존재는 기존의 ITU 무선규칙 및 사무국과 RRB의 역할에 따른 제도적 틀의 한계를 입증한다. 예컨대 RRB는 제13.6조를 적용하지 않기로 결정하고, 당사자간의 조정을 촉구하는 것으로 자신의 업무를 한정한 바 있고, 주관청간의 위성망 거래가 합법임을 사실상 인정하고 있다. ITU의 무선규칙상 또한 RRB의 방침상 인공위성과 궤도의 그러한 거래는 위법이 아니다. 무궁화위성 3호의 국적이 대한민국이더라도 홍콩 소재 기업이 다른 주관청과 합의하여 그 주관청 명의의 위성망 신청하에 무궁화 위성 3호를 사용하고 있다의 증거로 사용할 수 있다. 무궁화 위성 3호의 매각이 국내법 위반이어서 매각계약 자체가 무효라 하더라도 마찬가지이다. 이제 동경 116도의 Ka 밴드 이용권은 ITU가 주관하는 분양시장이 아니라 ITU가 등기소 역할만을 하는 장외시장에 나온 매물이다.

  • The work-related diseases due to continuous overwork are mainly cerebro- and cardio-vascular ones, which is commonly called 'Karoshi', death from overwork. Many factors are capable for Karoshi : occupational stress in relation to technological renovation and industrial rationalization, competitive social structure, and accumulated fatigue accured to long time or irregular working. And its occurence is on the rise. The World Labor Report 1993 released by ILO, pointed out the diseases related to overwork and stress as one of the most important occupational health problem. In Korea, social awareness of Karoshi is at an infant stage, and reliable statistics for its occurence are not compiled in a convenient manner. Despite the rising Karoshi, there are no reliable clauses in workmen's compensation enough to settle down the disputes. Therefore, it is not uncommon that the Labour Ministry and Civil Court find difficulties in reaching an agreement. This study was intended to provide proper compensation and prevention program for workers by suggesting reasonable compensation clauses for the death from overwork. This study consists of two comparative reviews on the compensaton clauses for the death from overwork. One is to review legal standards of Karoshi among three countries, such as Korea, Japan and Taiwan. The other is to investigate the cases of Karoshi in Korea, 121 cases identified at the Labor Welfare Corperation and the Labour Ministrial process of examination and reexamination, and 73 leading cases at the High Court of Justice. The main findings of the study are as follows : 1. Comparisons of comperative review on compensation clauses for the death from overwork among three countries. 1) All of three countries have the same kinds of disease for compensation, which were cerebro-and cardiao-vascular diseases, while for cardiac disease group, Korea has the smaller number of diseases for compensation than Japan. 2) As for the definition of overwork, the three countries share equally that overload for one week prior to collapse is considered as an important factor, but accumulated chronic fatigue is disregarded. 3) As the basis of overwork, in Japan, there is a tendency to move from the conditions of an ordinary healthy adult to those of the individual concerned in Japan, whereas there is no such concern yet in Korea. 4) All the three countries use a common standard of medical judgement in demonstrating causal relationship between a job and a disease. However, Korea is progressive in the sense that in the case of CVA at worksite, the worker himself has no obligation to prove the cause. 2. The results of a comparative review on excutive decisions by Labor Ministry and judicial decisions by the Court in Korea : A judicial decision is based on the legalistic probability, but a excutive decision is not. Therefore, excutive decisions have such restrictions that : 1) TIA (transitory ischemic cerebral attack) and myocarditis are excluded from compensation, and there is little consistency of decision in the case of cause-unknown death. 2) There is a tendency not to compensate for the death from overwork since the work terms such as repeated long-time working, shift work or night-shift work are not considered as overloading. 3) There is a tendency to regard the conditions of a ordinary healthy adult rather than those of the individual concerned(age, existing diseases, health state, etc.) as the comparative basis of overload. 4) There remains a tendency not to compensate for the death from overwork in the case of collapse occuring out of workplace, on the ground of 'on the course of working' and 'in the cause of accident'. Through the study, the fact manifests itself that Korea's compensation clauses for work-related diseases due to overwork are very restrictive. So, it is necessary to extend the Labor Ministry's clauses of compensation for the death from overwork following to the recent changes of other countries and internal judicial decisions. This is very important in the perspective of occupational health that aims at health promotion of workers including prevention of the Karoshi.

  • A nation has a sovereign right to develop and use its natural resources according to its policies with regard to development and the relevant environment. A nation also has an obligation not to harm other countries or damage environments of neighboring countries as consequences of such actions of developments or use of natural resources. However, international precedents induce a nation to take additional actions not to cause more damages from the specific acts causing environmental damages beyond national borders, when such acts have economic and social importance. That is to say that there is a tendency to resolve such issues in a way to promote the balance between the mutual interests by allowing such actions to continue. A solution to China's Three Gorges Dam dilemma based on a soft law approach is more credible than relying on a good faith approach of national responsibilities and international legal proceedings since the construction and operation of the dam falls within the category of exercising national sovereign rights. If a large scale construction project such as the Three Gorges Dam or operation of a nuclear power plant causes or may cause environmental damage beyond the border of a nation engaged in such an undertaking, countries affected by this undertaking should jointly monitor the environmental effects in a spirit of cooperation rather than trying to stop the construction and should seek cooperative solutions of mutual understanding to establish measures to prevent further damages. If China's Three Gorges Dam construction and operation cause or contain the possibility of causing serious damages to marine environment, China cannot set aside its national responsibility to meet international obligations if China is aware of or knows about the damage that has occurred or may occur but fail to prevent, minimize, reverse or eliminate additional chances of such damages, or fails to put in place measures in order to prevent the recurrence of such damages. However, Korea must be able to prove a causal relationship between the relevant actions and resulting damages if it is to raise objections to the construction or request certain damage-prevention actions against crucial adverse effects on the marine environment out of respect for China's right to develop resources and acts of use thereof. Therefore, it is essential to cumulate continuous monitoring and evaluations information pertaining to marine environmental changes and impacts or responses of affected waters as well as acquisition of scientific baseline data with observed changes in such baseline. As China has adopted a somewhat nonchalant attitude toward taking adequate actions to protect against marine pollution risks or adverse effects caused by the construction and operation of China's Three Gorges Dam, there is a need to persuade China to adopt a more active stance and become involved in the monitoring and co-investigation of the Yellow Sea in order to protect the marine environment. Moreover, there is a need to build a regular environmental monitoring system that includes the evaluation of environmental effects beyond borders. The Espoo Convention can serve as a mechanism to ease potential conflicts of national interest in the Northeast Asian waters where political and historical sensitivities are acute. Especially, the recent diplomatic policy advanced by Korea and China can be implemented as an important example of gentle cooperation as the policy tool of choice is based on regional cooperation or cooperation between different regions.

  • Research in the IS (Information Systems) outsourcing has focused on the importance of legal contracts and partnerships between vendors and clients. Without detailed legal contracts, there is no guarantee that an outsourcing vendor would not indulge in self-serving behavior. In addition, partnerships can supplement legal contracts in managing the relationship between clients and vendors legal contracts by itself cannot deal with all the complexity and ambiguity involved with IS outsourcing relationships. In this paper, we introduce a psychological contract (between client and vendor) as an important variable for IS outsourcing success. A psychological contract refers to individual's mental beliefs about his or her mutual obligations in a contractual relationship (Rousseau, 1995). A psychological contract emerges when one party believes that a promise of future returns has been made, a contribution has been given, and thus, an obligation has been created to provide future benefits (Rousseau, 1989). An employmentpsychological contract, which is a widespread concept in psychology, refers to employer and employee expectations of the employment relationship, i.e. mutual obligations, values, expectations and aspirations that operate over and above the formal contract of employment (Smithson and Lewis, 2003). Similar to the psychological contract between an employer and employee, IS outsourcing involves a contract and a set of mutual obligations between client and vendor (Ho et al., 2003). Given the lack of prior research on psychological contracts in the IS outsourcing context, we extend such studies and give insights through investigating the role of psychological contracts between client and vendor. Psychological contract theory offers highly relevant and sound theoretical lens for studying IS outsourcing management because of its six distinctive principles: (1) it focuses on mutual (rather than one-sided) obligations between contractual parties, (2) it's more comprehensive than the concept of legal contract, (3) it's an individual-level construct, (4) it changes over time, (5) it affects organizational behaviors, and (6) it's susceptible to organizational factors (Koh et al., 2004; Rousseau, 1996; Coyle-Shapiro, 2000). The aim of this paper is to put the concept, psychological contract commitment (PCC), under the spotlight, by finding out its mediating effects between legal contracts/partnerships and IS outsourcing success. Our interest is in the psychological contract commitment (PCC) or commitment to psychological contracts, which is the extent to which a partner consistently and deeply concerns with what the counter-party believes as obligations during the IS project. The basic premise for the hypothesized relationship between PCC and success is that for outsourcing success, client and vendor should continually commit to mutual obligations in which both parties believe, rather than to only explicit obligations. The psychological contract commitment playsa pivotal role in evaluating a counter-party because it reflects what one party really expects from the other. If one party consistently shows high commitment to psychological contracts, the other party would evaluate it positively. This will increase positive reciprocation efforts of the other party, thus leading to successful outsourcing outcomes (McNeeley and Meglino, 1994). We have used matched sample data for this research. We have collected three responses from each set of a client and a vendor firm: a project manager of the client firm, a project member from the vendor firm with whom the project manager cooperated, and an end-user of the client company who actually used the outsourced information systems. Special caution was given to the data collection process to avoid any bias in responses. We first sent three types of questionnaires (A, Band C) to each project manager of the client firm, asking him/her to answer the first type of questionnaires (A).

  • 항공의 전 분야에 있어 항공안전은 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않으며 항공안전에 주의를 기울이지 못하여 발생되는 항공기사고(aircraft accidents)는 항공기의 전 비행단계중 약 70%가 비행장주위의 이 착륙단계에서 일어나는 CFIT(Controlled Flight into Terrain) 사고라는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 이러한 점을 고려 할 때에 비행장주위의 장애물(obstacle)을 관리(control)하는 것은 항공기사고를 방지하고 비행장의 장기적인 존속을 보장한다는 측면에서 항공안전차원의 안전운항에 지대한 역할을 한다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 안전운항이 보장되는 범위 내에서 비행장주위의 장애물에 대한 제한을 효율적으로 관리하고 비행장주위의 규제에 따른 사유재산권의 제한을 해소하며, 장애물을 관리하는데 소요되는 노력을 경감하기 위한 차폐이론(Shielding)의 적용 역시, 안전운항과 더불어 비행장주위 공역을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있다는 측면에서 중요하게 고려하여야 할 사항이다. 실제로 국제민간항공기구(ICAO)나 항공선진국들은 기존장애물의 영향이 미치는 음영면 이하의 장애물은 장애물로 간주하지 않는다는 차폐이론 적용하여 건축규제를 완화하거나 장애물 표시등의 의무를 면제하고 있다. 물론 이와 같은 차폐이론의 적용은 국제적으로 통일된 차폐기준에 따라 적용되는 것이 아니며 각 국가의 상황에 따라 또는 각 비행장의 환경에 따라 신규장애물의 차폐 여부를 확인하고 항공학적인 연구를 통하여 안전운항에 영향이 없다는 판단 하에 적용 관리하고 있다. 국내에서도 비행장주위에 장애물제한에 관하여 항공법에 규정하고 있고, 최근 개정안으로 제시되어진 동법 시행규칙에서는 국제민간항공기구의 차폐기준의 적용을 포함하는 신규 규정을 포함시켜 놓았다. 그러나 이러한 규정만으로는 비행장 주위의 항공장애물을 체계적으로 관리하기가 어려우며, 특히 국내 비행장 주위의 공역에서 차폐이론적용에 필요한 세부기준이 제시되어 있지 않다는 점에서 논란의 여지가 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 항공장애물과 관련된 국제민간항공기구(ICAO)의 규정 및 항공선진국들의 관련 규정을 검토 분석하고 국내의 현황과 비교 분석한 후 국제기준에 비추어 국내환경에서도 적용 가득한 비행장 공역에서의 항공장애물관리규정(안)의 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 논란의 여지가 많은 차폐이론의 적용에 이어 명확한 기준방안을 제시하여 항공안전과 효율적인 공역운영을 위한 대안을 설정하는데 도움을 주고자 한다.

  • 배경 : 말기 암 환자일수록 여러 가지 증상을 가지고 있으며 치료하기도 힘들다. 그러나 의사가 관심을 가지고 치료하면 놀랄 만큼 환자 증상이 잘 조절되고 마지막 임종 순간까지 고통 없이 자신의 삶을 영유하면서 보낼 수 있다. 말기 암 환자를 치료하는 과정 중에서 주 관심사 중 하나가 환자의 임종 시점일 것이다. 이에 저자는 우리나라 말기 암 환자에서 임종 전 48시간 동안 나타나는 신체적 증상의 실태 조사를 통해 말기 암 환자의 진료에 도움이 되고자 한다. 방법 : 2000년 2월 1일부터 2000년 10월 31일까지 경기도 일산 소재 일개 2차 병원에 입원하여 말기 암으로 사망한 123명 중 기관 삽관을 한 17명과 입원 후 48시간 이내 사망한 14명을 제외한 92명을 대상으로 의무 기록을 통해 임종 전 실시간 동안 나타나는 신체적 증상들의 빈도를 조사하였다. 시간별로 입원 당시, 임종 전 $48{\sim}24$시간 임종 전 $24{\sim}0$시간동안 나타나는 신체적 증상들의 빈도가 차이가 있는 지를 비교 분석하였다. 결과 : 임종 전 48시간동안 나타나는 신체적 증상의 빈도는 통증 57.6%로 가장 많았고, 의식혼란 55.4%, 호흡곤란 48.9%, 배뇨곤란 42.4%의 순이었다. 시간별(입원 당시, 임종 전 $48{\sim}24$, 임종 전 $24{\sim}0$시간) 신체적 증상 빈도 변화는 통증 및 오심과 구토는 감소하였고, 가래 끓는 소리, 발한, 신음 소리, 안절부절, 의식 상실은 증가하였으며 이는 통계학적인 의미를 보였다(P<0.05). 결론 : 임종 전 48시간을 기준으로 의식 상실과 더불어 가래 끓는 소리, 발한, 신음소리, 안절부절 발생빈도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이에 이들 증상은 임종이 가까워 왔음을 나타내는 중요한 지표로 생각된다.

  • 1970년대 후반에 소개된 디지틀 기술과 함께 우리 인류는 지금 산업화 시대로부터 '정보화 시대'로 이동해가고 있다. 새로운 커뮤니케이션 시스템은 기존의 현실 인식 체계를 바꾸어 놓을 만금 놀라운 것이다. 한국은 고유한 문자와 언어를 지니고 있는 민족이다. 그러나 타이포그라피 분야는 우리만의 고유한 규범을 제대로 갖지 못하고 있으며 국제적인 보편성도 확보하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 현대 한국의 타이포그라피는 커뮤니케이션의 기본인 합리적이고 효율적인 체계를 지니지 못한 채 복잡하고 장식적이며 혼란스러운 양상을 자주 드러내고 있다. 심지어 젊은 디자이너를 중심으로 서구 스타일을 무분별하게 모방하고 있다. 이제 우리는 우리의 고유한 철학을 확립해야 할 때이다. 다양하게 변해 가는 정보화 사회 속에서 어떻게 한국적인 고유성을 확보할 것인가? 어떻게 보편적인 국제성을 지니고 세계 문화에 기여 할 것인가를 연구해야 한다. 이 연구에서는 한국적인 고유성을 갖는 철학의 바탕을 우리 전통 문화에서 찾고자 한다. 또한 한국 현대 타이포그라피에 적합한 통합의 방법을 모색하고자 스위스 모더니즘의 철학을 연구해 보고자 한다. 스위스 타이포그라피는 그 간결함과 단순함의 미학을 특징으로 했다는 점에서 한국 전통의 미의식과 유사한 점이 많다 이에 본 연구는 이 두 방향간의 공통적인 철학을 토대로 우리에게 적합한 새로운 한국적 타이포그라피의 규범을 확립해 보았다. 첫째, 가독성을 우선시하는 디자인 양식의 개발. 둘째 , 내용의 핵심을 담아낼 수 있는 디자인 셋째, 객관적이고 합리적인 디자인 태도의 견지 마지막으로 전통에 대한 관심과 애정을 지닌 정신적인 자세를 가져야 한다는 점이다. 지금 우리는 세계적인 조류를 무비판적으로 따르기보다 우리 한글에 맞는 적절한 규범을 갖는 것이 더 중요한 시점이다. 우리 전통의 미의식에 대한 연구가 우리에게 '좋은 디자인'의 해답을 줄 것이다. 그와 동시에 객관적이고 간결한 양식인 스위스 디자인에 대한 탐구가 세계적인 보편성을 확보해 줄 것이다.

  • 유럽연합이 제정하여 시행하고 있는 Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 ("Regulation")는 비자발적 탑승거부, 운항취소, 운항지연 등의 사안에 대해 항공승객을 보호하는데 주목적을 두고 있다. 이와 관련하여 항공편 지연으로 불편을 겪은 승객들이 탑승거부, 운항취소에 대해 명시적으로 적용되는 제7조에 따른 금전 보상청구권을 청구한 사건들이 있었다. 이에 대해 유럽연합 사법법원(Court of Justice of the European Union, CJEU)은 승객들에게 시간적인 손실이 발생한다는 점에서 항공편이 운항취소된 경우와 운항지연된 경우는 동일하므로, 당초 항공사가 설정한 총 비행시간 보다 3시간이 초과되어 운항이 지연된 경우에는 해당 승객이 자발적 탑승거부나 운항취소와 마찬가지로 금전손실 보상청구권을 행사할 수 있다고 판단하였다. Regulation상에 운항지연의 경우 제7조의 보상청구권이 적용된다는 명시규정이 존재하지 않음에도 불구하고, 승객의 보호라는 Regulation의 입법취지를 고려하여 법원이 적극적으로 그러한 권리를 긍정한 것이다. 이러한 법원의 관점은 규정의 유추해석이라는 비판을 받을 가능성도 있지만, Regulation에 산재되어 있는 운항취소와 운항지연에 관한 일괄적 취급에 관한 근거 및 승객보호라는 Regulation의 입법취지를 고려할 때 설득력을 가진다. 더욱이 법원은 운항지연의 경우 Regulation과 몬트리올 협약이 동일한 내용을 규정하고 있지 않으므로 몬트리올 협약 제29조는 이 경우에 적용되지 않고 양자는 충돌되지 않는다고 보고 있다. 즉, Regulation은 항공편의 지연이라는 사실에 관한 승객의 불편과 손실을 보호하는 규범인 반면, 몬트리올 협약은 지연이라는 사실로 인하여 인과관계가 인정되는 범위에서 발생된 손해에 관한 배상을 규정하고 있다는 것이다. 위와 같은 유럽연합의 규정과 법원의 견해는 승객보호에 관한 진보적인 성향을 잘 보여주는 선구적인 내용이라고 할 수 있다. 구체적인 규정 없이 승객보호를 위한 절차와 계획의 수립의무만을 선언적으로 규정하고 있는 현재의 우리나라 항공법이 참고할 필요가 있을 것으로 본다.
