Abstract

Indonesia's nickel downstreaming policy, which prohibits the export of nickel ore with a grade of <1.7%, aims to increase added value and support national development. However, the European Union views this policy as a violation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994, leading to a lawsuit at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2021. This research employs a normative-descriptive method to analyze the dispute settlement process at the WTO, the impacts of the downstreaming policy for Indonesia, and its prospects for legal certainty in the future. The findings indicate that Indonesia lost at the panel level because the policy was deemed inconsistent with Article XI:1 of the GATT, although an appeal was filed in 2022. Despite legal and diplomatic challenges, downstreaming remains a key strategy to enhance Indonesia's economy. In conclusion, this policy must be refined through strengthening domestic industrial capacity and harmonizing regulations with international standards.

Abstract

Globalization is not something that can be avoided by a country and will make significant changes in various sectors that can have potential and negative impacts. The changes that will and will definitely occur are in the legal order of a country, in this case Indonesia, although there is an adage that says "the law always limps with the times" but the legal impact that occurs due to globalization must be addressed wisely so that the law due to change can still be applied according to the values of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. What must be done is to harmonize national law and international law due to the influence of globalization so that it is appropriate according to the adage that says that "law will always provide a remedy or solution".
