Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the operation of laws that regulate the right to freedom of assembly in the Republic of Korea and Malaysia. It commences with the discussion on the nature and importance of the freedom of assembly, and the incorporation of such freedom into the international treaties. The study will also scrutinize on the implementation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act in Korea which came into force in 1963. Whereas in Malaysia, there are two sets of laws; the provisions of the Police Act 1967 which was enforced until 2012, and the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 that came into effect in the same year so as to replace the former laws. It will prove that the two iconic factions, the Reformasi and the BERSIH movements, together with the involvement of SUHAKAM have made major contributions to the transformation of those laws. It will also analyze the former and the current laws in the light of their constitutionality. Subsequently, a comparative legal study will be conducted between these two countries wherein the constitutional insights will be provided based on the legal cases from both countries and from other jurisdictions. The discussion on the Korean laws in this study is important to support the arguments that; notwithstanding the Malaysian laws have made a significant amendment on expanding the right to freedom of assembly, some provisions are either unconstitutional or contain unclear provisions, and therefore must be modified based on the approach used by the Korean law.|이 연구의 목적은 대한민국과 말레이시아에서의 집회의 자유를 규율하는 법의 운영을 검토하는 데 있다. 이 연구는 집회의 자유의 종류과 중요성에 대한 논의와 그러한 자유의 국제 조약에의 편입으로부터 시작된다. 또한 1963 년 발효 된 한국의 집회 및 시위에 관한 법률의 시행에 대해서도 면밀히 조사 할 예정이다. 반면에 말레이시아는 두 개의 법률이 있어왔다; 1967 년부터 2012 년까지 운영된 Police Act의 관련조항과 이 법률조항을 대체하기 위하여 2012부터 시행 된 Peaceful Assembly Act 2012가 그것이다. 이 논문은 REFORMASI 운동, BERSIH 운동 및 SUHAKAM의 참여가 이러한 법의 변화에 큰 공헌을했다는 것을 증명할 것이다. 또한 합헌성에 관한 말레이시아의 종전과 현행법률을 분석할 것이다. 그 후에 양국 간 비교법적 연구가 진행될 것이며 그 안에는 양 국 및 다른 국가의 판례들을 토대로 한 헌법적 고찰이 이루어질 것이다. 이 연구에서 한국 법에 대한 논의는 다음과 같은 저자의 주장을 뒷받침하는 데 중요하다: 말레이시아의 법률은 시위의 자유에 대한 권리를 확대하는 큰 수정을 하였슴에도 불구하고 여전히 몇몇 조항은 위헌적이며 몇몇 조항은 그 의미가 명백하지 않다, 따라서 한국 법이 취하는 접근법에 따라 수정되어야한다.
