無國籍者의 地位에 관한 協約 = The Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It can not be said that the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons (the Convention) has been as popular as other international human rights conventions. The Convention has only 42 parties in December of 1995. The reason for less popularity is not that this Convention commands too high standard to be achieved by parties, but that the problem of the stateless persons does not draw as much attention in international society as in 1940's or 1950's. Also other human rights conventions which are to be applied to "everyone" take much part of the role for the protection of the stateless persons in international society. This Convention was, however, the first product of international community for the purpose of protecting the legal status of stateless persons, and until now it has been the only international treaty for that purpose in global application. And several provisions, for example, article 7, article 8, article 25, article 27, article 28 and article 31, may play unique role to improve the legal status of stateless persons. So the raison d'etre of the Convention can not be ignored.
The Republic of Korea deposited the ratification letter of this Convention on August 22, 1962 without reservation. Even if more than three decades has passed since then, some of Korean law are not consistent with the contents of the Convention. The rights protected by para. 2 & S of article 7, article 23, para. 1 of article 24, article 25, article 27 and article 31 of the Convention are not fully guranteed by current Korean law. Prompt revision of Korean domestic law is the obligation as a party.
