Abstract

The use of technology to oppress individuals is not a new concept. With the emergence of personal computers and the transition from mass use of radio to television, authoritarian governments have use the technology as a means of spying on their citizens, and China has also become a place where technology are being used to ensure that citizens comply with standards set by an authoritarian government. The Uighurs in Xinjiang are a key example of how modern technology has helped facilitate human rights violations. The government has discriminated the Uighurs and put them in exile camps. Furthermore, the Chinese Government uses biometric data to discriminate the Uighurs, where the Government collects fingerprints, iris scans, put chips inside cellular devices, collect blood groups as well as DNA samples. What is done by the Chinese Government is considered to have violated human rights because it has collected biometric data and abused it for acts of discrimination. Moreover, this act of oppression causing them living life with fear, where they should be living with the freedom from fear. This research seeks to see why restrictions are needed in the practice of Biometrics Data Collection conducted by the Chinese Government. This study uses qualitative research methods with an explanatory method. This research uses the theory of human security, with further emphasizing the personal freedom, particularly the concept of freedom from fear. This research argues that these restrictions are needed and that the practice of collecting biometric data by the Chinese Government on Uighurs in Xinjiang is an act that is based on discrimination and constitutes an act of violation of human rights

The research method is explanative by using literature reviews. The result show that the US was accepted by Indonesia due to the alignment of situation and Indonesia’s identity, the role of Indonesia as UNCLOS’ ratified country, and Indonesia’s moral responsibility as a maritime nation.

Abstract

UNESCO has been recommending the “UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage” or commonly referred to as the 2001 UNESCO Convention as a conservation procedure for Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) which prioritizes the protection of historical, cultural and scientific values. Through several conferences and discussions, UNESCO has always encouraged countries that have strategic sea areas to immediately ratify by considering the potential underwater relics in its territories. The Republic of Indonesia, as the biggest archipelagic country nowadays has not ratified the convention. Even though, this research argues that Indonesia does not have strong regulations and always experiences obstacles in securing Underwater Cultural Heritage these days. This research is trying to seek and solve the research question with all the existing vulnerabilities, why until now Indonesia has not ratified the 2001 UNESCO Convention. This research will identify the background factors that make Indonesia reluctant and have not taken action to ratify the convention. For the tools analyzing in this case study, this research will use Decision Making Approach by Graham T. Allison, with 2 approach models namely Rational Actor Model and Organizational Model. This study found that rational factors were the reason for Indonesia not to ratify the 2001 UNESCO Convention.

Abstract

India is one of 189 countries that ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), a convention that protects women's rights. However, the practice of dowry that harms women continues to this day. This practice requires the bride to grant a number of dowry to the groom. Dowry’s request that was not fulfilled prompted the groom’s family to commit acts of violence that could result in bride’s death. This phenomenon has known as dowry death. Hence, this research seeks to prove the reason for the existence of dowry deaths even though India has already ratified CEDAW. This research is a qualitative research that explained through the concept of noncompliance. This research found that the practice of dowry continued to occur due to the lack of optimal implementation of CEDAW by India’s government, NGOs and local communities.
