ABSTRACT

Statutory interpretation by the Korean Ministry of Government Legislation (the “Ministry”) is considered to have improved legality and propriety of public administration and supported consistent law enforcement activities. It thus receives praise for its significant contribution to the protection of the people's rights in an indirect manner. In particular, on July 1, 2005, the Ministry revised its operating rules for legislative affairs in order to expand the range of people who have the right to request statutory interpretation. Further, as an independent, professional agency with authority to interpret statutes, the Ministry established the Committee on Statutory Interpretation to enlarge the scope of statutory interpretation. However, despite all of these continued efforts to improve the statutory interpretation system, the problem of enhancing efficiency of the statutory interpretation system through the extension of the boundaries of people who have the right to interpret statutes and subject matters of statutory interpretation still remains unresolved. This study, in this regard, analyzes the outline, achievements and present conditions of the current statutory interpretation system of the Ministry and presents ways to systematically improve the problems raised so far.
