Abstract

International law respects the important role of state territory as reflected in the principle of respect for the integrity and sovereignty of a state territory (territorial integrity and sovereignty) contained in various products of International Law. This study uses normative research methods. The data and information in this research are primary and secondary data. The nature of this research is descriptive-analytical. Based on the results of this study, international law has a significant influence on the formulation and implementation of Timor Leste's economic policy, especially considering its unique history as a new country and its dependence on global cooperation and foreign aid. The norms contained in the bilateral trade agreement between Indonesia and Timor Leste significantly affect local economic sovereignty in border areas, with both positive and negative impacts. This influence is particularly felt in the economic dynamics of communities that are highly dependent on cross-border activities.

Abstract

Geographically, Timor Leste is the country closest to Indonesia, making it easier for Indonesian investment to flow to Timor Leste. Therefore, Indonesian investment in Timor Leste will benefit both countries economically, and to maintain stability and security, economic cooperation is one way to achieve peace and prevent conflicts that are prone to occur at the land border between Timor Leste and Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach. Furthermore, this research is descriptive-explanatory in nature because it explains narratively and identifies the cause and effect of the issues in the research. Based on the findings, in terms of regulations, Timor Leste has attempted to align its investment legal framework with international principles; however, in practice, the goal of achieving welfare for the majority of the people still faces significant challenges. The foreign investment legal framework in Timor-Leste is normatively designed to guarantee legal certainty and protection for foreign investors, primarily through the applicable Private Investment Law. This law aims to attract investment by establishing clear rules regarding ownership rights, capital transfers, and dispute resolution mechanisms.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explain and understand the State's Responsibility in Enforcing Citizens' Constitutional Rights in Land Execution Cases in Timor Leste. To explain and understand the Indonesian Government in this case to realize protection and justice for its citizens whose land rights are threatened or lost after the release of Timor Leste. This research uses a normative juridical legal research method. The type of approach used in this research is a case study approach. The sources of normative legal research are primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and non-legal materials. This study uses a qualitative analysis method. Based on the conclusion that the responsibility of the Timor-Leste state in enforcing the constitutional rights of citizens in land execution cases is represented by the development of land laws to harmonize various legal regimes, namely by developing laws that combine and clarify land rights and the process of claims that are violated and recognize property rights and clarify the legal status of immovable property. The state is also responsible for protecting and upholding the rights of citizens as a whole as stated in the Constitution. The Indonesian government has sought to provide protection and justice for citizens who lost their land rights after the secession of Timor-Leste through various policies, including the establishment of the Truth and Friendship Commission to address human rights violations, and support for resolving land issues through various legal and non-legal mechanisms. However, these efforts often face challenges of legal and bureaucratic complexity, which require special and comprehensive handling from the government.
