Abstract

The Marriage Equality Bill in Thailand will officially take effect on January 22, 2025. With this enactment, Muslims in Thailand will certainly have perspectives and attitudes concerning the youth in Islam in facing this issue. This study aims to explore the views of Islamic religious teachers regarding students in light of the legalization of LGBTQI++ in Thailand. To gather this information, a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was distributed to 12 Islamic religious teachers at Sasana Business Administration Vocational College in Bangkok. The primary source of this study consists of data from the questionnaire, while secondary sources include relevant research articles that support this research article. The results indicate that almost all Islamic religious teachers are opposed to the enactment of this policy. They believe it will impact students' identity, characteristics, and religious morality as the young Muslim generation in Thailand. Therefore, they propose plans to provide education on these issues through communication strategies and open discussions.

Abstract

This research is important because the 1961 Vienna Convention is a key instrument of international law governing diplomatic relations, while Indonesia, as a state party, faces challenges in implementing its principles amid local political dynamics and demands for national sovereignty. The research aims to analyse the implementation of the principles of the 1961 Vienna Convention in the provision of diplomatic facilities in Indonesia, identify the legal-political factors that encourage/inhibit, and examine the gap between international norms and field practices. The method used is a normative-qualitative study with analysis of legal documents, national regulations, and practical cases to explore the gap between normative ideals and implementation reality. The results, analysed through the lens of Liberal Institutionalism, show that although the core principles of the Vienna Convention are formally adopted, various cases of misuse of diplomatic facilities by foreign missions indicate selective compliance by Indonesia driven by legal and political calculations. In conclusion, Indonesia's commitment to the 1961 Vienna Convention is dualistic: on the one hand, it adheres to the basic principles to maintain international reputation (in line with the assumption of institutional cooperation), but on the other hand, it is flexible through legal-political grey spaces to protect national sovereignty and interests, revealing the complexity of the interaction between international norms and realpolitik.
