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..

Abstract

Tensions have heightened in the Indo-Pacific, with the People’s Republic of China engaging in aggressive behaviors in the South China Sea, confronting India in border disputes, and poising itself for a forcible unification of Taiwan in the midst of a great power competition with the United States. While the situation remains precarious, it is imperative for Indonesia to consider how it might position itself if a large-scale armed conflict erupted in the region. Indonesia could plausibly maintain a neutral status without taking part in hostilities, pursuant to its long-standing “free-active” foreign policy. In such a case, the law of neutrality will regulate Indonesia’s relationship with belligerent parties according to corresponding rights and obligations derived from neutral status. However, this body of law is in a state of constant flux, with pragmatic considerations often prevailing over normative consistency. This article explores how Indonesia might implement the law of neutrality to maintain peaceful relations with belligerent parties, with a focus on three specific issues pertaining to its national interest: (1) closure of its archipelagic waters; (2) arms export control; and (3) the protection of its cyber infrastructure. This article concludes by finding that Indonesia is well positioned to make a pragmatic choice based on the geopolitical and socioeconomic conditions prevailing at the time but must pre-empt various legal risks by building its practice and expressing its opinio juris to shape the development of customary international law in this field.
