Abstract

Under the Government Organization Act of Korea, the following two issues could be raised in regards to the legal authority and status of the Korea Coast Guard: First, there is an issue involving a potential conflict of authority between the Korea Coast Guard and the Ministry of Public Safety and Security. Second, pursuant to the Government Organization Act, the Korea Coast Guard has characteristics of an advisory agency in providing assistance to the Minister of Public Safety and Security. However, the actual authority to direct and control local administrative government offices under the Korea Coast Guard belongs to the Coast Guard. This is a bifurcation between structure and actual work which can create gaps between jurisdictional duties and responsibilities.
