A Study on Improvement of Maritime Security System in Korean Peninsula

This paper surveys effectiveness of legal countermeasures of international society on maritime security issues in ASEAN regions and reviews key issues. With this in mind, we aim to clarify characteristics and limitations by focusing on the mechanism of international law enforcement, the most important element for the development of such countermeasures. The Malaca Strait located between the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra Island, Indonesia, is the strategic point of maritime traffic that link Southeast Asia and the Far East in Europe. In particular, this is the region where 80% of crude oil transportation goes by way of Korea, China, and Japan. Hence, we expect a significant influence across Asia on politics, societies, and economies if the region is occupied by maritime militants. Therefore, related state parties initiated in a quick response to build an aggressive cooperative system and to secure initiatives within such a system, which showed some progress. Korea, however, failed to recognize that security cooperation with ASEAN regions located in the Malaca Strait is linked directly with the maritime security of the Korean Peninsula waters, which left much to be desired. The main object of this study is to examine various measures for piracy practice in order to promote a maritime security system of the Korean Peninsula and to suggest directions for the government policy in the progress of security cooperation system between nations focused on ASEAN regions, where piracy and other terrorist activities are frequent.
