Abstract

According to UNHCR, The state is primarily responsible for determining refugee status within its territory. This means that RSD must be carried out in the country where the asylum seeker applies for protection, as it has full sovereignty and jurisdiction. The problem arises when the coastal state determines and processes the RSD of asylum seekers outside its territory, especially in the Contiguous Zone, where the coastal state only has the authority to conduct surveillance, especially ‘migration controls.’ What is interesting to study is whether the practice of RSD in the Contiguous Zone is legitimate and can be carried out under international law and how RSD in the Contiguous Zone is related to the function of immigration control according to International Law. The methodology used is descriptive, using the approach of international legal instruments and existing cases. From the discussion, it is found that RSD in the contiguous zone can be carried out depending on the interpretation of Article 33 UNCLOS 1982. In addition, it is also explained how the principle of non-refoulement and human rights instruments intersect. It can be concluded that RSD can be conducted in the contiguous zone; non-refoulement is the first form to start RSD.

Pengungsi perempuan menjadi kelompok yang sangat rentan terhadap perilaku kekerasan seksual karena identitas mereka sebagai perempuan dan sekaligus sebagai pengungsi sehingga dapat mengalami diskriminasi ganda. Indonesia sebagai negara transit tentunya perlu memerlukan sebuah payung hukum yang dapat melindungi para pengungsi perempuan dari kekerasan seksual khususnya adanya praktik kekerasan seksual seperti fenomena “survival sex”. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan pengumpulan data sekunder melalui proses dokumentasi. Tujuan tulisan ini untuk mencari solusi hukum tentang kerentanan pengungsi perempuan, khususnya terkait kekerasan terhadap pengungsi perempuan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Indonesia perlu meratifikasi konvensi 1957 dan protokol 1961 mengenai pengsungsi, mensahkan undang-undang khusus perlindungan perempuan dan adanya peningkatan institusi penegak hukum. Abstract This research examines sexual violence that often occurs to vulnerable minority groups, namely female refugees. Female refugees are a group that is very vulnerable to sexual violence behavior because of their identity as women and at the same time as refugees so that they can experience double discrimination. Indonesia as a transit country certainly needs a legal umbrella that can protect female refugees from sexual violence, especially the practice of sexual violence such as the phenomenon of "survival sex." This research is normative legal research with secondary data collection through the documentation process. The purpose of this paper is to find legal solutions to the vulnerability of women refugees, particularly concerning violence against women refugees. The result of this research is that Indonesia needs to ratify the 1957 convention and the 1961 protocol regarding protection, enact a special law on the protection of women, and increase law enforcement institutions.

Abstract

This study examines whether corrective secession can be considered a legitimate means of acquiring territory under contemporary international law, focusing on the secession referendum in Eastern Ukraine in 2022. Although the right to self-determination has evolved from a colonial context to broader applications, the legality of corrective secession in non-colonial situations remains controversial and under-explored. Previous research has largely focused on post-colonial cases such as Bangladesh and South Sudan, leaving a gap in understanding externally influenced secession movements. This article aims to address this gap through normative legal analysis, drawing on international legal instruments, state practice, and jurisprudence from the International Court of Justice and national courts. The findings of the study indicate that secession as a corrective measure can only be justified in exceptional cases where an ethnic group experiences ongoing and systematic discrimination, and where the parent state fails to provide an effective solution. When applied to Eastern Ukraine, this study finds no evidence of systematic human rights violations by the Ukrainian government that would justify secession. Instead, the conflict and referendum were largely triggered by external intervention, rendering such claims contrary to international law. This analysis reaffirms that the doctrine of secession as a remedy remains limited and exceptional, reinforcing the priority of territorial integrity in accordance with the UN Charter. This study contributes to the ongoing debate by clarifying the legal and moral thresholds for secession as a remedy, and provides a nuanced legal framework for assessing future claims of secession.
