Abstract

Tensions are high between Korea and Japan as a result of Japan’s export restrictions on three essential semiconductor materials exported to Korea and the removal of South Korea from their White List of countries. The Abe Administration announced that these measures were necessary to “ensure non-proliferation of weapons-related materials.” However, it is widely suspected that these measures were adopted as a retaliation against the Korean Supreme Court’s decision recognizing compensation for the forced labor victims during the Japanese occupation period. The Korean government filed a complaint concerning these measures at the WTO DSB for resolution under international law. In this research, the authors will critically analyze Japan’s export restrictions under international law to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the current conflict. This paper will tackle the relevant issues under the WTO/GATT regulations and the Korea-Japan Claims Agreement to address the issue of who violated international law.
谁违反了国际法?对安倍对韩出口限制的批判性分析
由于日本限制对韩出口半导体的3种主要材料,并将韩国从“白色名单”中除名,韩国和日本之间的关系变得非常紧张。安倍政府宣布,这些措施对于“确保武器相关材料的不扩散”是必要的。但是,很多人认为,这是对大法院承认对日占时期强制征用受害者进行赔偿的判决的报复。韩国政府就这些措施向世界贸易组织(WTO) DSB提出了申诉,要求根据国际法予以解决。在本研究中,作者将批判性地分析日本在国际法下的出口限制,以促进和平解决当前的冲突。本文将根据WTO/GATT规则和韩日索赔协议的相关问题来解决谁违反了国际法的问题。
