Description
Korean Yearbook of International Law Vol.12 offers a comprehensive overview of current developments in international law in the Republic of Korea, addressing cultural and national heritage law, judicial decisions in public and private international law, data privacy, the law of the sea, artificial intelligence, environmental issues, and Korea’s relations with Japan and China. The volume features expert analyses of major 2024 legal changes, including the newly enacted Framework Act on National Heritage, landmark Supreme Court decisions, and evolving norms related to climate change and AI. The Yearbook further explores historically significant issues such as Japan’s claims over Dokdo, court rulings on victims of forced labor, the Convention on Biological Diversity’s EBSA proposals, National Assembly resolutions on international law, and the potential 2028 termination of the Korea-Japan joint development agreement. Practical topics such as foreign investment treaties and international divorce law are also included, reinforcing the volume’s value as a comprehensive resource for scholars and practitioners.
