More broadly, it can be discussed from the viewpoint of human dignity and value and the right to pursue happiness. In addition, the climate crisis issue can be approached from the perspective of democracy in addition to the aforementioned fundamental rights. \u0000In other words, in responding to the climate crisis, citizens are no longer an object, but a subject to share and solve problems with the state and local governments. Accordingly, the Korean government established the ‘2050 Carbon Neutrality Committee’ in May 2021, composed of related ministries, experts, and civic groups, to respond to the climate crisis that is becoming a global problem. However, it has been criticized in several respects. \u0000Therefore, I think the case of the Climate Civic Council in France, which is recognized as a representative example of citizen participation in responding to the climate crisis in the European Union, is that Korea's Carbon Neutral Citizens Council, which is being criticized as above, will respond better to the climate crisis and promote citizen participation in the future. It is judged that it will be a good reference for forming social trust by properly reflecting the voice.","PeriodicalId":232789,"journal":{"name":"European Constitutional Law Association","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116386861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preamble to the Constitution declares the historical origin and the basic principle of constitution, and also declares its constitutional commitment. The purpose of Preamble to the Constitution is to identify the subject and the procedure of Constitutions as well as the motive, purpose and ideology of Constitution showing the identify of Constitutions, but it is not included in the text along with appendix, and is not essential element of written constituions. However, the written constitutions around the world have the preamble. This study targets total 16 countries that have Preamble to the Constitution including our country. What we want to obtain through the comparison of Constitutions is the accurate understanding of practical application of Constitutions, which are the target of comparison, and its ultimate goal is to secure the optimized constitutional normative power by specify the similarity or difference of preamble shown from individual and concrete application of each country. The comparison method of preamble to achieve this goal can be classified into formal aspect and practical aspect. Preamble to the Constitution is positioned in the front of text, so the actual benefit of comparison is not that big. Therefore, the core contents should be identified through practical aspect comparison. In this case, it is important which factor should be based. This study compares and analyzes the contents of preamble to the Constitution based on, first subjects and procedures, second, history and future, third, justice, fourth, diversity, fifth, freedom and equality, sixth, peace and solidarity, and seventh, the Declaration of Federal Constitutions. In our country, whenever there is discussion on constitutional amendment, it is argued that the May 18 Democratization Movement and the June 1987 Struggle should be included in the Preamble to the Constitution. As the level of people’s awareness on Preamble to the Constitution gets higher, for example, there is an attempt to include the things which is difficult to add to the text of Constitution such as respectful treatment to civilian army activity. The comparison of Constitutions largely serves as a useful material for raising the awareness of Constitutions, contributing to the international reunification of Constitutions, and revising Constitutions. This study on the preamble to the Constitution around the world is thought to function as the criteria that can judge the effectiveness whether May 18 Democratization Movement and the June 1987 Struggle, which are being argued that it should be included in the Preamble to the Constitution, has such a value.","PeriodicalId":232789,"journal":{"name":"European Constitutional Law Association","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114707831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, how to protect the learning right of children hospitalized for a long time, like paediatric cancer patients, has been recognized as a national project in the educational continuity dimension where the education of children should not stop due to external environments, in order for children’s growth ad development. Hospital school is an educational institution in hospital for the children with health impairments(the students who need to be hospitalized for more than three months due to their chronic diseases, or continue to need medical support like outpatient treatment, and thereby have difficulty with school life and learning). In accordance with 「Act on Special Education for Persons with Disabilities」, it is defined as a special school under Office of Education, or a dispatch class of general school(special class). In order to guarantee the learning right of children with health impairments, who should have compulsory education, it is required to recognize the operation of hospital school as an essential national project. Nevertheless, whether to open a hospital school depends on a hospital’s policy, and dispatching a special education teacher to a hospital school relies on the educational finance of a local government. There is a possibility that the children are able to set the required number of school days through distance education in hospital and to complete their curriculum. However, face-to-face class in hospital school makes it possible to provide the individual guidance through interaction with children, which is impossible in distance education, and to serve as the preparation process to return to their original classes after discharge. From the standpoint of child students, it is a very important way to guarantee their learning right. Opening and closing a hospital school should not be determined according to the current hospital policy. Instead, it is required to legislate on hospital school as an essential institution secured for treatment and education at the time when a hospital with a certain wards is open or when a medical institution for children is designated. In accordance with 「Act on Special Education for Persons with Disabilities」, an educational institution is classified into a special educational institution(special school and special class) and a special education support center. In the current system, such institutions like hospital school where education is provided in a separate space of medical institution have no classification. From the standpoint of school institutions, hospital school is the class of itinerant education, but is an institution in hospital. For this reason, it is necessary to consider the safety and operation criteria of both hospital and educational institution.

In addition to the income earned from sales of music records and movies, the marketing business using the names of celebrities also forms a big size of market. As a result, there were often legal disputes arising from the rights of trademarks including the stage name or group name of celebrities. In particular, just before the end of the exclusive contract, the agency registered the celebrity's name as a trademark, thereby provoking a legal dispute between the former agency and the celebrities. In this study, we discussed whom the trademark rights, including celebrities’ names, should belong to. In the first session, we introduced two examples for disputes in regard to the trademarks including the idol group names. To express our critical opinions on this, it was discussed that the current trademark law could infringe on the personal rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Furthermore, our opinions to reasonably compromise these conflicts between the legal rights were proposed as follows. First of all, we suggest that it is necessary to legislate the publicity right, so that the personal right of celebrities can be protected as the property right is. Because the process of enacting a new law is very difficult, we proposed another idea to revise the current law. Thus, we noted that some provisions of the Trademark Act and the Unfair Competition Prevention Act are needed to be revised for preventing the infringement of the personal rights, and also proposed our opinions on how to revise these provisions.","PeriodicalId":232789,"journal":{"name":"European Constitutional Law Association","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131908406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Freedom of assembly should be enjoyed as freely as possible. Freedom of political assembly in particular should be strongly protected. Freedom of assembly also has the meaning of communicating information with each other and forming mutual intentions by allowing others to enter the public sphere. It also has the function of protecting minorities and opposition parties that cannot be represented by the general public's will. However, freedom of assembly presupposes a duty of acceptance, such as having a problem with the right to move and colliding with the interests of others. \u0000The state has an active obligation to actively protect peaceful assembly and this active obligation requires the state to protect against individuals or groups who attempt to interfere or block participants in peaceful assembly. The state is also obligated to guarantee the basic rights of those who did not participate in the assembly. \u0000The right to the freedom of peaceful assembly under the European Convention on Human Rights is also a fundamental right of democratic society. Among the justification requirements for the European Court of Human Rights' restrictions on freedom of assembly, ‘necessary in a democratic society’ is a matter of profit sentence as a review based on the principle of proportion. Therefore, it can be seen that the European Court of Human Rights examined whether the basis for the judgment was appropriate and sufficient for the claimant's claim for arrest and conviction for administrative crimes.
