Abstract

ABSTRACTThe provisions in Article 11 of the Constitution of 1945 and Laws of the International Treaties generally requires the "consent" of the House of Representatives (DPR) in the making and ratification of the treaty. The difference between the two is that the rules referred to in Article 11 of Constitution of 1945 does not specifically mention the form of approval, while the Laws of the International Treaties requires that the ratification of a treaty is done by Act or by Presidential Decree. The big difference in the process of ratification of the treaty to be applied in the national legal system of Indonesia, has been controversial, both among academics and practitioners, such as the theory of monism-dualism on International Law and National Law, the status of an international treaty into national laws of Indonesia, and the implementation of international agreements in Indonesia. This article is intended to explain the process of ratification of an international agreement, differences that occur, as well as the ratification of the treaty practice lasted this long.Keywords: international law, legislation, monism-dualism, treaties, ratificationABSTRAKKetentuan dalam Pasal 11 Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 dan Undang-Undang Perjanjian Internasional secara umum mensyaratkan adanya “persetujuan” dari Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) dalam pembuatan maupun pengesahan perjanjian internasional. Perbedaan antara kedua aturan dimaksud adalah bahwa dalam Pasal 11 Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 tidak secara khusus mensyaratkan bentuk dari persetujuan dimaksud, sementara Undang-Undang Perjanjian Internasional mensyaratkan bahwa pengesahan perjanjian internasional dilakukan dengan Undang-Undang atau Keputusan Presiden. Adanya perbedaan tentang proses pengesahan perjanjian internasional untuk dapat diberlakukan dalam sistem hukum nasional Indonesia, akhirnya telah menimbulkan perdebatan, baik di kalangan akademisi maupun praktisi, antara lain teori monisme-dualisme tentang Hukum Internasional dan Hukum Nasional, status suatu perjanjian internasional dalam hukum nasional Indonesia, maupun implementasi dari perjanjian internasional di Indonesia. Artikel ini dimaksudkan untuk menjelaskan proses pengesahan suatu perjanjian internasional, perbedaan pandangan yang terjadi, serta praktik pengesahan perjanjian internasional yang berlangsung selama ini.Kata Kunci: hukum internasional, legislasi, monisme-dualisme, perjanjian internasional, ratifikasiDOI :  https://doi.org/10.23920/jbmh.v1n1.8

Abstract

AbstractThis article discusses the enforceability of treaties under Indonesian legal system. The purpose of this article is to explore and provide answers to the following questions: (i) whether or not international law may be directly invoked and enforceable under domestic legal system (ii) how and to what extent Indonesian courts are using international law especially the treaties. In providing analysis to the above questions, this article discusses the notion of courts and judicial competence and judicial attitude towards treaties. This article suggests that there is no doubt that the courts may apply treaty provisions to the case at hand without and by virtue of national legislations. However, the attitude of the courts towards treaties as demonstrated in a number of cases above does not reveal any clear indication on the question of the status of treaties under domestic law especially with regard to the method on how the legal system incorporates treaties under domestic law. The Court decision has therefore not yet contributed to the attempt for seeking a legal determination of the domestic status of a treaty as well as the mode for granting its domestic validity.Keywords: domestic validity, Indonesian perspective, monism and dualism, status of treaties, treaty practices.AbstrakArtikel ini membahas mengenai pemberlakuan perjanjian internasional dalam sistem hukum Indonesia. Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk mengkaji dan memberikan jawaban atas pertanyaan-pertanyaan berikut ini: (i) apakah hukum internasional dapat secara langsung dijadikan rujukan dan berlaku dalam sistem hukum domestik; (ii) bagaimana dan sampai mana pengadilan Indonesia menggunakan hukum internasional khususnya perjanjian internasional. Dalam memberikan analisis terhadap pertanyaan-pertanyaan diatas, artikel ini membahas perihal pengadilan dengan kompetensi yudisialnya, dan perilaku yudisial terhadap perjanjian internasional. Artikel ini berkesimpulan bahwa pengadilan dapat menerapkan langsung perjanjian internasional terhadap perkara. Namun demikian praktik pengadilan dalam beberapa perkara yang terkait dengan perjanjian internasional belum memberikan indikasi yang jelas tentang kedudukan hukum perjanjian. Putusan Pengadilan oleh karena itu belum berkontribusi dalam upaya untuk mencari determinasi hukum terkait status domestik dari suatu perjanjian internasional dan cara pemberlakuan suatu perjanjian internasional dalam hukum domestik.Kata kunci: monisme dan dualisme, praktek perjanjian internasional, perspektif Indonesia, status perjanjian internasional, validitas domestik.

Abstract

The 25th Anniversary of UNCLOS was commemorated in early February in Jakarta, just one month after the Chinese fishing vessels and coast guard entered the Indonesia’s EEZ and exploited its natural resources. From the Indonesian side, this China’s encounter has indeed violated the Indonesia’s sovereign rights over its EEZ as well as the breach of Indonesia’s sovereignty by undermining and intervening in Indonesia’s right under international law in exercising legal enforcement in its own jurisdiction. Moreover, the Indonesian government has consistently and persistently rejected the nine-dash line claims by sending official protests through diplomatic notes. The protest also exerts Indonesia’s firm and clear position that Indonesia is not a claimant state to either the sovereignty or territorial disputes in the South China Sea, and therefore will not engage in any negotiation. Furthermore, Indonesia would never recognize the nine-dash line claim since it does not have a legal basis recognized by international law. In contrast, the Indonesia’s sovereign rights are guaranteed by the UNCLOS, as the Indonesia’s EEZ had been acknowledged and registered under the UNCLOS. At the same time, Indonesia will be increasing the frequency of patrols in Natuna waters, and fisheries activities as it is Indonesia’s rights. This Article attempts to identify and describe the Writers’ views over the Natuna case from the legal perspective. The responses of the Indonesian government against the claim are also briefly discussed.

Abstract

Since The Permanent Court of Arbitration issued its award on 12 July 2016 it have raised many controvertion. Almost all Submissions are decided in favour of the Philippines.

The legal clarification is expected to contribute to future negotiations among the claimant States concerning the core (sovereignty) dispute. This Article attempts to identify and describe what has been changed by the Tribunal Rulings and what has been solved. The implication of the Ruling on Indonesia’s legal interest is also briefly discuss.

Abstract

This article examines the concepts of self executing treaties and non-self executing treaties. These two concepts are inadvertently related to the dualist and monist theory of international law. They also relate to the question of direct applicability and municipal validity of treaties. This article will show that non-self executing treaties are not always analogous with the concept of dualism under international law. Likewise, treaties might presumably be self executing even in dualist states. It is therefore imperative to acquire an understanding of these two concepts by discerning and analysing them. Such understanding will provide clarity to the question of dualist transformation theory in regards to the municipal validity of treaties. berita politik nasional terkini aims to explore these two concepts, in particular their main ideas, how they relate and attempt to affect the theoretical problem of monism versus dualism with regards to treaties. This article traces the origins of the concept of self-executing treaties by examining it under American law and the European Union legal order as well as relevant decisions by international courts. This Article will then move to examine various scholars suggestion to establish criteria for non-self executing treaties

Abstract

The exhaustion of local remedies (ELR) is a principle viewed as an exception rather than a rule in international investment law. Hence, it tends to be forgotten, and Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is preferable in resolving disputes concerning mining licenses. However, this has proven detrimental to Indonesia as a developing country. This research aims to analyze ELR implementation in international investment law and the urgency of implementing ELR for Indonesia as a developing country. This research uses normative and comparative juridical methods to find that ELR remains an important principle despite being generally waived and that there is an urgency for Indonesia as a developing country to implement ELR to (1) reassert sovereignty; (2) minimize financial loss; (3) improve domestic adjudication and strengthen rule of law. Implementing ELR can be done through BITs by referring to India and Argentina as models. An amendment to domestic law and regulation is also needed to ensure the enforceability of ELR in Indonesia.

Abstract

Shareholders’ claim for reflective loss appears to be commonly accepted by the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) tribunals. Several international investment agreements (IIAs) have construed the condition of losses or damage under IIA to address the shareholder reflective loss (SRL) issue. Nonetheless, through the ISDS decision, the interpretation appears to be disparate. This article will aim to analyze the status of SRL in IIA through conditions of losses or damages as investment dispute characteristics and IIA text formulation to limit such conditions in addressing SRL issues through juridical normative and comparative study with a descriptive-analytical characteristic. Foreign direct investment regimes driven by the IIA show how important the IIA’s role is in providing adequate protection of investment including dispute mechanisms set through. The author will use the juridical and comparative methods by reviewing the existing statutory and case laws. The condition of loss or damage under IIA also appears to cover SRL. The limitation through the scope of allowed claims regarding whose losses, have been interpreted by several tribunals to limit a direct claim for SRL. However, the interpretation seems to be inconsistent with the other tribunals. An explicit text formulation and applying the loss-based general rule into IIA will then help to address consistent and genuine outputs of the applicable rule to limit the condition of losses or damage pertaining to the claim for SRL. In conclusion, the condition of losses or damage led the tribunal to allow the claim for SRL, yet through a limitation of the condition, the claim for SRL will be construed with specific requirements and procedures to avoid intersectoral issues. State parties in negotiating IIA are suggested to consider limiting the condition of losses or damage by adopting text formulation that led the ISDS tribunal’s interpretation to a genuine meaning of the applicability rule which the parties intended to, specifically, regarding investor’s right to claim SRL. Thus, the risk of harm that the host state suffers will be avoided.Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, International Investment, International Law.
