캐나다의 부패방지 법제에 관한 소고

Nowadays, the law on wrongdoings of public servants is in progress and various discussions about the legislation are being held. Therefore, it is necessary to reexamine the issues not from the individual legal perspective but from the integrated legal perspective in order to achieve the theoretical and institutional development of the wrongdoings of public servants. In this situation, it is necessary to examine the relevant laws and history of legislation of Canada, since Canada has steadily been in the top 10 in Corruption Perceptions Index(CPI) according to the International Transparency announced every year. Regarding the wrongdoings of public servants in Canada, the relevant laws have established the range of public servants in the legislative, the judicial, and the administrative branches, and also the types of wrongdoings and the disciplinary punishment. And, each law, while defining its main contents, allows the organization of each department to define its own rules of ethics, ie CODES, which leads to the double ethics enhancement system. Regarding the target of application, for the Congress, “Parliament of Canada Act”, and “Conflict of Interest Code for Members of The House of Commons” exist, for the government “Conflict of Interest Act,” with respect to the entire public servants in the public sector, “Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act” exist. In addition, there are “Lobbying Act” applied to the lobbying of lobbyists. It would be meaningful to look into key elements of the Canadian laws related to anti-corruption and to draw implications for the related Korean laws.
