The current North Korean commercial law has lots of ambiguities in its scope and limitations, nonetheless, this study aims at not only broadening and deepening the width and depth of mutual understanding about the legal system of the North Korean commercial Law, but also giving green light to the desirable orientation of a unified Korean commercial system in the future. In order to facilitate the understanding of North Korean legal institution, this study provides an opportunity to glance at a general explanation on the socialist commercial conceptions such as socialist supply of commodity, socialist price system, and et cetera. This study tries to catch any characteristics of the so-called Socialist Commercial Law of the North Korea, after searching and understanding the peculiar status and conspicuous figure of North Korean legal system.
The author has a strong mind that the study of comparing the commercial system between the North and the South should be focused on enhancing the understanding of the North Korean legal institutions and legal system. In order to achieve this purpose, the first step should be to minimize any possibilities of unnecessary misunderstanding about the North Korean Law by recognizing correctly the current North Korean legal systems and legal orders. This could be a short-cut way to reach at the right judgment on the North Korean legal system in the end.
As for the North Korea, it should accept the basic notions of market economy which was proved by the history itself, freedom of corporate activities, system of private ownership, and the constitutionalism, and so on. With a view of preventing a Unified Korea from being confronted with the so-called the status of legal vacuum after its unification, the author makes a proposal for fostering in advance nation-wide discussions and broad research, as one of national agenda in the future direction of a Unified Korean Commercial Law.
