The Comparison of KOREAN VIP PROTECTION SECURITY Relation Laws

Abstract

With the launch of the Park Jeong-hee government and the enactment of the「Presidential Security Law」, the Korean security system could turn into being a professional security agency, however, the ongoing threats by North Korea are causing the terrorism against the Korean key figures. Especially, recent territorial disputes surrounding neighboring countries of the Korean peninsula are heightening the tensions of Northeast Asia. Moreover, Northeast Asia's tensions are reaching its peak due to North Korea's hereditary power succession of three generations, nuclear development, and the launch of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile(ICBM). South Korea has successfully hosted large-scale international events such as Asia-Europe Meeting, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, G20(Group of 20) Summit and Nuclear Security Summit in the past, and will soon be hosting the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Game. However, looking back at the domestic cases, we can reconsider the historical mistake of frequent terrorism against VIP in the political turmoil with neighboring countries, and we should realize that the disruption within North Korea caused by the economic sanctions of the international community can lead to terrorism against South Korea. In this regard, this study brought out the common concept and methodology by analyzing the「Presidential Security Law」and the「Security Business Act」, which are the Relation Laws of Korean VIP Protection Security Law of Korea.
