Abstract

Indonesia has established a comprehensive legal framework governing the authority of the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla) in maintaining maritime security and enforcing law at sea, as regulated under Law Number 32 of 2014 on Maritime Affairs and international instruments such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. However, in practice, maritime law enforcement in Indonesian waters faces significant challenges, particularly overlapping institutional authorities and weak inter-agency coordination. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Bakamla’s authority and identify the juridical constraints encountered. It adopts a normative juridical approach using secondary legal materials, analyzed qualitatively through a deductive method. The findings reveal that Bakamla’s authority has strong legal legitimacy based on the 1945 Constitution, relevant laws, government regulations, and presidential regulations. Bakamla is authorized to conduct maritime patrols, monitor territorial waters, undertake initial law enforcement actions, and coordinate with institutions such as the Indonesian Navy and the National Police. Nonetheless, its implementation is hindered by fragmented authority, limited investigative powers, differing institutional legitimacy, and inadequate regulatory harmonization. Strengthening coordination and integrating maritime law enforcement systems are therefore essential to improve the effectiveness of safeguarding Indonesian waters.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze juridically the responsibility of the Transportation Agency of Sukoharjo Regency in ensuring the health and safety of road users. The research focuses on two main issues: the legal framework governing the agency’s responsibility and the implementation of such responsibility in the administration of traffic and road transportation.This research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, which are analyzed qualitatively. The primary legal basis of this study refers to Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. The results indicate that, from a juridical perspective, the Transportation Agency of Sukoharjo Regency holds administrative and technical responsibilities in traffic management, including regulation, supervision, control, and the provision of infrastructure that meets safety and health standards. These responsibilities reflect the principles of legality and good governance. However, in practice, several obstacles remain, such as limited budget, inadequate infrastructure, and suboptimal inter-agency coordination. Therefore, strengthening regulations, enhancing supervision, and optimizing the role of local government are necessary to ensure the fulfillment of the public’s right to health and safety in road usage.
