朝鲜对外商投资的法律保护——以制度考察为中心

Legal Protection of Foreign Investments in DPRK——Centered on relevant systems

进入20世纪80-90年代以来,朝鲜为了进一步提高外资引进力度,发展经济改善人民生活,根据本国国情先后制定了规范外商投资的法律,确立了国家对外商投资企业合法权益的保护原则、国家保护外商投资企业的经营秘密的原则,并明文禁止国家对外商投资企业国有化。同时,为了及时、有效地解决外商投资过程中产生的各类纠纷,朝鲜制定了涉外经济仲裁法,确立了外资企业在朝鲜纠纷的解决机制。这些制度的确立为朝鲜引进外资提供了法制保障,具有积极意义。但这些制度中仍存在一些需要细化和完善的问题。

In order to attract more investments and improve people＇s living standard, laws have been made to regulate foreign investments according to the domestic conditions of DPRK, and principles of protecting the legal interests of foreign enterprises and their trade secrets have been establised since 1980＇s. Moreover, nationalization of foreign enterprises is prohibated, laws of foreign economic arbitration are made, and conflict-solving mechanisms are establised so that various conflicts of the investment can be rapidly and efficiently solved. The establishment of these systems offers positive legal protection of foreign investment in DPRK though they still need to be refined and perfected.
