Abstract

The concept "trade and sustainable development" is often associated with and can be traced to the Global North. However, there is a paradigmatic change in the employment of the concept as legal argument in the context of trade dispute. This paper especially focuses on the Indonesia – Raw Minerals dispute. In the WTO dispute concerning Indonesia's raw minerals export ban, the European Union (EU) challenged Indonesia over its export restrictions and Domestic Processing Requirement (DPR). Rather than invoking Article XX(g) of the GATT 1994, which addresses the conservation of exhaustible natural resources—a common approach among WTO members—Indonesia chose to rely on Article XX(d) of the GATT 1994. This article justifies trade restrictions necessary to fulfill WTO-compliant obligations, including the imperative to promote sustainable development in the minerals sector. Although Indonesia ultimately lost the dispute, its use of sustainable development as a defensive strategy merits examination. This paper analyses the narrative techniques Indonesia employed to defend its export restrictions and DPR measures in the WTO proceedings. Drawing on the “Neo” New Haven School perspective which emphasises critical perspective on international law, the paper views the dispute through the lens of “international law as language.” This approach posits that international law is intertwined with political realities and serves as a communicative tool for international actors to engage within the global community. Ultimately, this paper argues that Indonesia's invocation of "sustainable development" reflects legal mimicry, demonstrating how terminology originating from the Global North is now being appropriated as a legal argument by the Global South to empower them.

This article discusses Indonesia's latest developments, challenges, and remedies for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CFT) laws. Data were collected by analyzing the challenges of implementing international regulations, such as the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) and FATF recommendation. Indonesia is expected to improve their regulations and set high supervision towards the risk of AML/CFT to combat terrorism financing. No studies have been conducted to discuss the latest 2019 UNSCR, a relevant regulation to be implemented by countries to tackle terrorist financing. Therefore, this study aims to examine the significant contribution of the UNSCR and suggest proper implementation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Putusan Mandalawangi merupakan putusan yang dianggap sebagai suatu terobosan hukum dalam bidang hukum lingkungan di Indonesia, karena putusan ini melakukan inkorporasi atas konsep precautionary principle dalam sistem hukum nasional Indonesia secara legal formal. Jus cogens, yakni suatu norma tidak terelakkan dalam hukum internasional merupakan perdebatan teoritis yang masih berlangsung. Putusan Mandalawangi memberikan status jus cogens atas prinsip kehati-hatian (precautionary principle) kemudian diamini dan diikuti oleh berbagai putusan maupun literatur. Dalam tulisan ini kami mencoba melakukan dekonstruksi kembali tentang status jus cogens atas prinsip kehati-hatian, dan kami meninjau bagaimana suatu norma dapat dilabeli sebagai jus cogens dalam teori, serta menelusuri ratio decidendi hakim dalam mencapai amar putusan atas jus cogens. Kami mengargumentasikan bahwa runutan pemikiran putusan tersebut mengandung suatu lompatan logika yang mengakibatkan argumentasi sirkuler. Kemudian kami berpendapat, para hakimlah yang harus mengutamakan ‘kehati-hatian’ itu sendiri dalam menerapkan konsep-konsep hukum internasional dalam putusannya.

Abstract

This article was prepared to formulate a strategy for formulating the drafting of exclusion clauses in bilateral investment treaties and legal policies that are in accordance with national security without violating international law. In its preparation, doctrinal legal research with legal objects is used which is conceptualized as a statutory rule based on the doctrine of positivism (normative juridical) schools. In the Discussion, it was found that Host Country has several options in implementing policies that put forward the national interest such as, asserting rights in agreements in good faith, including exceptions expressly, establishing definitions appropriately in agreements, mentioning special clause categories in agreements, conducting evaluations in a reasonable manner and self-judging. However, of the seven options already mentioned, self-judging is the most profitable option for host countries in implementing policies that orientate national interests. The self-judging clause is the choice of host country for two reasons. First, the clause gives the state discretion to unilaterally opt-out of international obligations and secondly, the evaluation of the elements for opt-out is not set out completely objectively from an external point of view, but only from the point of view of the state concerned.

Abstract

Scientific understanding of the sea is very important for human activities on the marine environment and the biota contained therein in order to maintain marine ecosystems. It affects the marine environment and the biota contained therein. Marine scientific research refers to various disciplines, such as biology, biotechnology, geology, chemistry, physics, geophysics, hydrography, physical oceanography, and marine drilling. Nevertheless, it is necessary to regulate marine scientific research, both from international law and national law of coastal countries. Indonesia as a member of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, has the authority to regulate and enforce the law on marine scientific research in the jurisdiction of its country. This article will be talk about how Indonesia, as a sovereign country, regulates the jurisdiction of its country, in terms of marine scientific research, as well as how Indonesia's efforts to enforce the law against foreign parties who carry out marine scientific research in its territory. Enforcement of this law will have a major impact on the security of sovereignty and the advancement of science and technology in the marine sector for Indonesia.

Abstract

The intersection between trade and environmental issues has become an unavoidable reality in the contemporary global landscape. The WTO, as the foremost global trade body, integrates elements of sustainable development across several of its legal frameworks. This study seeks to explore the presence and evolution of environmental measures within the framework of the WTO. This research further examines the practical recognition of environmental measures within international trade contexts. Through normative research and comparative case studies of state disputes in WTO’ Dispute Settlement Body, this study identifies a growing trend in the use of environmental measures within WTO legal frameworks. The findings indicate that environmental measures possess a degree of legitimacy and are generally well-received by the WTO dispute settlement mechanism. Ambitious emission targets set by developed countries have contributed to the development of novel types of environmental measures.This indicates that the interconnection between trade and environmental concerns will continue to strengthen over time. Hence, ensuring a well-calibrated balance between trade obligations and environmental considerations requires the panel or Appellate Body to proceed with heightened prudence..
