부시행정부의 대북정책과 한반도 소위 악의 축 국가의 대한 미국의 국내법적 대응 = Review on the U.S. Legal ponse to the Axis of Evil States

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Presidents Bush``s State of the Union remarks labeling Iran, Iraq and North Korea as an axis of evil quickly circled the globe and re-ignited fears of more aggressive brand of U.S. unilateralism. President Bush addressed that U.S will continue to be steadfast and patient and persistent in pursuit of two great objectives. First U.S. will shut down terrorist camps, disrupt terrorist plans, and bring terrorists to justice. And, second, U.S. must prevent the terrorists and regimes who seek chemical, biological or nuclear weapons from threatening the United States and the world. It is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or its allies with weapons of mass destruction. President Bush noted that North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens. Iran is described as a country which aggressively pursues these weapons and export terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people``s hope for freedom. And the last state tied as the axis of evil is Iraq. Iraq is indicted for the charge that which is the state continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has allegedly plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for a decade. Iraqi regime is also criticized for the fact that it agreed to international inspections and then kicked out the inspectors. Bush said that Iraqi regime has something to hide from the civilized world. President Bush has categorized the States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. Analysing President Bush``s Statement, they can be classified as a state of dictatorship, a state which are dumping tons of money into programs to developing weapons of mass destruction(WMD), a state which pose a grave and growing danger, a state which could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred, and a state which could attack our allies ar attempt to blackmail the United States. U.S. legislative body enacted USA Patriot Act of 2001 and it includes amendments of various acts such as Bank Secrecy Act, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Criminal Laws, and National Security Act to strength the sanctions toward rogue states especially states constitute axis of evil. In my opinion, persuading U.S. allies to support anti-terrorist war against Taliban regime was one thing and denunciating Iran, Iraq and North Korea as an Axis of Evil is another. Putting the three states in a basket is too simplistic. They have wide spectrum in the political regime, ideologies, religions, and cultural basis. What is the criteria to separate these countries from Syria, Libya, Sudan and Cuba? They also have sanctioned as a rogue states by United States. The debate over the appropriateness of sanctions as an instrument of international order, as well as debates over the impact that sanctions have on the human and material organization in the years ahead. True leadership means being a catalyst for changing behavior that threatens U.S. interests. In all three cases, the United States has many options other than military force or public condemnation at its disposal. Now Bush administration``s North Korea policy is undercutting the effort of South Korea aimed luring the North Korea out of its frightfully armed shell. Not by sanctioning with unilateralism, but by working with the anti-terrorism allies, the United States can accomplish a lot more. In the process, the Bush administration can go a long way toward marking the promise of the new partnership with the allies a reality.
