Developing countries such as Indonesia face major challenges in adapting the domestic legal apparatus to global norms driven by international organizations and multilateral agreements. This study aims to describe how international law influences the formation of national laws in Indonesia, using a descriptive approach through a literature study of ratified regulations and conventions.

In addition, the legal harmonization process often occurs top-down and with minimal public participation, posing a risk of non-adaptive legal transplantation. In this context, international law can be a means of normative domination that ignores local needs if not critically addressed.
