한·호주 FTA 투자분야에 관한 쟁점 연구 -ISDS 적용범위와 그 예외를 중심으로- = Issue Study on KAFTA Investment Chapter -Focus on ISDS scope and ISDS Safeguard-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

After Seoul signaled its interest in joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), it tried to finish FTAs in a hurry with other TPP countries that had not been its FTA partners such as Canada and Australia. Due to this hurry, all of sudden they were concluded, but due to confidentiality, the features of Korean FTAs were not fully examined but now ratified. The Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement (KAFTA) was ratified on 12nd December 2014. KAFTA includes ISDS(Investor-Sate Dispute Settlement) clauses and it also contains a number of ISDS ‘safeguards’ designed to circumscribe the potential scope of the ISDS provisions. Since there is not much research on KAFTA Investment chapter, this paper will look through KAFTA Investment chapter and examine related issues such as the exclusion of investments which are subject to review under Australia’s foreign investment policy and whether KAFTA ISDS ‘safeguard’ clauses gives the government sufficient discretion to take regulatory action in relation to ‘legitimate public welfare objectives’. ISDS, once recognized a shield for the investor, over times, has become a sword against the national interests. Allowing for ISDS may excessively curtail national regulatory space and may come with significant legal, political and economic costs. Against this backdrop, it is very important to finely design the scope and exceptions of ISDS. By coming up with appropriate ISDS scope and ISDS safeguard clause, hope Korea to secure the “right balance” between the right of states to regulate and the need to protect investors.
