해상 무력위협에 대한 법적개념 검토

In modem times, low-intensity and small-scale disputes in the form of local battles are frequent rather than the method of large-scale battles in the past. This phenomenon reflects the expansion of national interests along with the establishment of a new international order, but nevertheless the possibility of a large-scale and high-intensity conflict exploding in the region cannot be ruled out. However, there is a fundamental limit to the international legal norm that defines the concept and requirements of "threat of force" that can develop into armed conflict, and as a result, its interpretation and application are arbitrarily implemented by countries. Even in accordance with relevant theories, the concept of "threat of force" is confined to a limited scope, making it difficult to cover all accidental threats that can occur in reality. And there are many difficulties in stable interpretation and application as the concepts and the requirements of "threat of force" differ depending on scholars. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the requirements for "threat of force" that can contribute substantially to the prevention of armed conflicts, and on this basis, it is necessary to actively regulate all forms of "threat of force" acts that could break international peace and order. In this paper, I would like to examine the concept and related theories of "threat of force" stipulated in Article 2, paragraph 4, of the Charter of the United Nations, and review the requirements for a new concept of threat of force that can conform to the purpose and spirit of the Charter of the United Nations. And based on this, I will also look at the implications of various types of threats that can occur at sea and whether they can be attributed to the definition of "threat of force".
