This paper shortly looks through contents of thirteen international conventions against terrorism which was accepted by the UN and looks through the contents of the relatively more recently amended maritime terrorism related international conventions and implementation legislation of Korea. To simply summarize main points of this paper is as follows. First, regarding the understanding that, to deal with terrorism more efficiently, the cooperation of the international society is inevitable, UN adopted thirteen international conventions to hold against diverse terrorism, such as aircraft hijacking, bombing terrorism, maritime terrorism and nuclear terrorism. In addition Korea is currently member of all thirteen international conventions and is participating in the international cooperation for controlling terrorism by implementing its legislation in need. Second, 1988 SUA convention and SUA protocol has been amended after the incident of the 9.11 terror, however Korea is currently not a member of the amended 2005 SUA convention or the SUA protocol. Accordingly, considering the future international situation and convention taking effect and its influence Korea’s marine transport industry, it is necessary to consider becoming a member of 2005 SUA convention and SUA protocol by not only the cooperation within the government ministry itself but also with the help of private institutions like the Korean ship owner association or Korea Association of marine technician. Third, in case when Korea becomes a member of 2005 SUA convention of SUA protocol, amendment of “punishment of damaging ships and sea structures act”, a transitional law, is needed and in the process, for elimination the ambiguity of the definition of a concept and elimination of the arbitrariness of law, a detailed analysis is needed for law breakings in transportation of WMD or related products, ambiguity of dual-use products, problems in search on board system.
