Since
Energy resources as well as Food resources are known as absolutely
necessary elements in maintaining human survival and culture, the
law and legal systems, for the purpose of effectively exploring,
distributing and utiltzing limited existing Energy resources, have
been actively involved in important research in not only the energy
resource potential countries, but also the energy resource exploring
countries.
In accordance,
the Korea Energy Law Institute has been doing continuous research
on the comparisons, the structures and the developments of the laws,
the acts and legal systems related to the limited existing energy
resources. Moreover, the Institute has been contributing to the
development of International Energy Laws through exchanging both
legal information and cases with internationally reputable energy
law institutes with the hopes of a worldwide perspective and a long
term basis in understanding the facts that energy resources are
scattered worldwide and that energy resources should be preserved
for future generations.
The
Korea Energy Law Institute has been researching and data gathering
to help structure the energy laws in the public and private sectors
which deal with oil, gas, electricities, coal, atomic plants and
alternative energy resources of internationally reputable energy
resource exploring countries. And consequently the Institute has
also been involved in the structuring of international private and
public energy law systems covering domestic and international contractual
legal systems for energy exploration, distribution and conservation.

our sincere thanks for the success of 11th LAWASIA Energy Seoul
