1949년~1950년 국가보안법 판례분석 - 부산지방법원의 판례를 중심으로 -

The objective of this study is to infer the characteristics of the National Security Law(NSL) from its early management form through research on the written judgement of new historical records and aspects of the target. Most of them were sentenced to imprisonment in accordance with Clause 3, Article 1 and 3 of the NSL, with a tendency of longer prison sentences. When the Korean War broke out, political prisoners were massacred in prisons of the whole country because it was believed that they could be latent enemies. In the case of Pusan prison, some of them were massacred three times from July to October in 1950. Most of them were the NSL-related offenders. It shows that they were slain as enemies who should be killed after the war broke out even though they had got off with light sentences for the first time. Moreover, their bodies were buried near the sea and mountains of Pusan. At that time, there were strict and strong laws such as the Korean articles of war, the special measure order, and martial law, but these laws were temporarily applied during the war and soon disappeared with a lack of a legal ground. On the other hand, it has raged for more than 60 years in Korea since the establishment of the NSL, and finally it contributed a lot to the settlement of an anticommunism.
