핵심 쟁점, 법리 및 법원의 판단
순직군경 인정 요건
- 구 국가유공자법과 달리 현행 국가유공자법 제4조 제1항 제5호는 '국가의 수호·안전보장 또는 국민의 생명·재산 보호'와 직접적인 관련이 있는 직무수행이나 교육훈련 중 사망하였을 것을 순직군경 인정 요건으로 규정함.
- 보훈보상자법은 국가의 수호·안전보장 또는 국민의 생명·재산 보호와 직접적인 관련이 없는 직무수행이나 교육훈련 중 사망한 사람을 보훈보상대상자로 규정하여 국가유공자와 보훈보상대상자를 구분함.
- 국가유공자법에 의한 순직군경으로 인정되기 위해서는 사망 또는 상이의 직접 원인이 되는 직무수행 또는 교육훈련이 국가의 수호·안전보장 또는 국민의 생명·재산 보호와 직접적인 관련이 있어야 함.
- 망인의 사망은 상급자들의 부당한 질책 및 욕설 등으로 인한 우울증으로 자유로운 의지가 상실된 상태에서 자해행위로 사망한 것으로, 국가의 수호·안전보장, 국민의 생명·재산 보호와 직접적인 관련이 있는 직무수행 또는 교육훈련이 직접적인 원인이 되어 사망한 경우에 해당한다고 보기 어려움.
- 국방부 중앙전공사망심사위원회가 망인의 사망을 순직으로 판단했더라도, 보훈심사위원회나 국가보훈처장은 이에 구속되지 않고 독자적으로 판단할 수 있음.
- 국방부 전공사상자 처리 훈령은 '교육·훈련 또는 직무수행 등 공무와 상당한 인과관계가 있는 자해행위로 인한 사망'을 순직으로 분류하나, 이는 국가유공자법에서 요구하는 '국가의 수호·안전보장 또는 국민의 생명·재산 보호와 직접적인 관련이 있는' 직무수행으로 한정하고 있지 않으므로, 국방부의 순직 결정만으로 국가유공자법상 순직군경에 해당한다고 볼 수 없음.
