국가보훈과 국가유공자에 대한 공법적 고찰 = Public Legal Study on Veterans and Distinguished Persons of National Merit

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Veterans Affairs, in a dictionary sense, refers to the reward of meritorious service to a meritorious person or his/her bereaved family in the country in honor of the patriotism of a person of national merit.
Veterans can be a reward for those who have contributed to the creation of a national community, or a culture that is the basis for community integration and development.
For this reason, our Constitution also has direct and indirect regulations on veterans.
Article 32 (6) of the Constitution stipulates that "the bereaved families of persons of national merit, Sangyi Military Police, and war dead are given priority opportunities to work as prescribed by law." It can be said that it stipulates the state's comprehensive obligations to people of national merit.
If it is understood that the guarantee of preferential working opportunities under Article 32 (6) of the Constitution exemplifies a comprehensive obligation to honor those of national merit, such as the Constitutional Court, the meaning of national merit under Article 32 (6) of the Constitution becomes even more important.
When reviewing a sign that can confirm the extension of the concept of a person of national merit under the Constitution, the concept of "person entitled to veterans" in Article 3, No. 2 of the Framework Act on Patriots and Veterans Affairs is the most referenceable.
There are four ways to analyze and improve laws related to veterans and national merit.
First, the effectiveness of the Framework Act on Veterans of Korea must be secured.
Second, the independence of the Veterans Affairs Review Committee should be strengthened under the National Merit Act.
Third, it is necessary to recognize the disposition of the decision of the Major Accident Review Committee under the Military Personnel Act.
Finally, it should be easy to recognize those who died of self-harm as national merit or those eligible for compensation for veterans' compensation.
