대구 경북지역 학생 강제동원의 군사적 특성과 국제법적 불법성

This article investigates the military characteristics of the forced mobilization enforced on students of the secondary schools in Daegu-Gyeongbuk regions by Japanese colonial authorities. After all, it reveals its illegality in terms of the internal laws in context that the role of Korean peninsula as a military supply base had changed and the role of Daegu-Gyeongbuk as a strategic military base had shifted into the rear supply base corresponding to the expansion of Imperial Japanese warfare into the wars with China and the Allied Powers in the Pacific War. In Korean peninsula, the forced mobilization of students was carried out by the legal devices of ‘National Mobilization Law(국가총동원법)’ and ‘Chosun Education Oder(조선교육령)’. For Daegu-Gyeongbuk regions, the students had been mobilized as the ‘Students Labor Patriotic Squad(학생근로보국대)’ under the supervision of the 80th regiment of Army infantry(육군보병 제80연대) from 1938 to 1941. After when they were forcedly mobilized as the organization of the ‘Student All-Out Force(학생총력대)’ under the direction of ‘Daegu Military Distict of Gyeongbuk 24th Army(경북24부대 대구사관구)’. The purpose of their mobilization was to build the military roads and munitions works and improve the facilities of air base for the expansion of air forces. This mobilization demonstrated that Japanese imperial government had violated the regulations of the International Labor Organization for the prohibition of student compulsory labor enforced from 1932 on. Given the above findings, the problem of the student forced mobilization has not been deal with so far in discussion of Compensation for Compulsory Mobilization Damage between Korea and Japan. And so, it is necessary to create a foundation for the continuous and full-fledged research of it in the future.
