Abstract

Introduction: A multilevel business owner who breaches a promise, or in other words, commits a breach of contract in international transactions, is proven to have breached a promise in this study. This study examines whether the breach of contract by multilevel business owners in international transactions is a deliberate act, a legal act, or the result of information asymmetry, differences in regulations between countries, and weak oversight of multilevel business schemes that fall under jurisdictional authority.Purposes of the Research: To examine the rights of multilevel marketing members in cases of breach of contract by multilevel marketing business owners who fail to fulfill their obligations, or, in other words, in international transactions, as well as the legal consequences of such transactions.Methods of the Research: The research method used is the normative legal method, employing a legislative and conceptual approach.Results of the Research:  Breach of contract by multi-level business owners in international transactions, where such owners have been found to potentially commit breach of contract in the form of a breach of promise—specifically, by failing to pay bonuses or commissions in accordance with the promised scheme to cross-border recipients. The legal consequences of breach of contract refer to Article 1243 of the Civil Code, namely compensation, cancellation of the agreement accompanied by compensation, transfer of risk, and payment of legal costs, but in an international context. The affected members face challenges in the form of a conflict of laws when the contract does not specify a clear choice of law. In this case, compensation is sought in the form of monetary damages.

Abstract

Introduction: Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ) cover approximately two-thirds of the world's oceans. These areas play a vital role in maintaining the balance of the global marine ecosystem. However, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 does not comprehensively regulate the conservation and utilisation of marine biodiversity in these areas. This legal vacuum led to the creation of the Agreement on Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement). Indonesia has ratified this agreement through Presidential Regulation No. 67 of 2025, which has legal implications for the national legal system.Purposes of the Research: This article aims to analyse the implications of ratifying the BBNJ Agreement for Indonesia's national interests and the challenges of implementing it within the national legal system.Methods of the Research: This study uses a normative legal research method with a legislative and conceptual approach through a review of relevant international legal instruments and national legislation.Results of the Research: The results of the study show that ratification of the BBNJ Agreement is strategically crucial for Indonesia as an archipelagic and developing country, particularly through the four main pillars of the BBNJ Agreement, namely the regulation of marine genetic resources and benefit sharing, area-based management tools, environmental impact analysis, and capacity building and marine technology transfer. However, ratification also poses legal and institutional challenges, including the need to harmonize national legislation, regulate marine genetic resources and digital sequence information, strengthen inter-ministerial coordination, and adjust law enforcement mechanisms for Indonesian citizens' activities in international waters. Therefore, follow-up measures are needed to strengthen the national legal and institutional framework so that the implementation of the BBNJ Agreement can proceed effectively and in line with Indonesia's national interests.

Abstract

Introduction: The 2020 annual report of the National Commission on Violence Against Women confirmed at least 34 cases related to domestic workers throughout 2019. Meanwhile, documentation of these cases by the National Network for Domestic Workers Advocacy (JALA PRT) states that between 2012 and 2019, there were more than 3,219 cases experienced by domestic workers, including psychological abuse (isolation and confinement), physical abuse, economic abuse (withholding of personal documents, unpaid wages, sick pay, unpaid holiday pay), and human trafficking.  Meanwhile, from 2017 to 2022, at least 2,673 cases of violence experienced by domestic workers did not decrease but instead increased. Therefore, the role of the ILO in Indonesia is quite important in preventing the continuation of this problem.Purposes of the Research: This study aims to determine and analyze the extent of legal protection for domestic workers provided by the Indonesian government and the role of the ILO (International Labor Organization) as an international organization that collaborates with the government, employers, and non-governmental organizations.Methods of the Research: This research uses a normative-empirical legal research method, which functions as a study of normative-empirical legal issues in the form of legal behavior products. Normative-empirical studies focus on the application of applicable legal provisions to every legal event that occurs in society to achieve that goal. This research begins with the applicable legal provisions in written form for each legal event in society, thus combining two stages of study. The first stage examines the applicable normative laws, and the next stage applies these laws to events that occur in society in order to achieve the selected objectives. Based on the above explanation, this research requires primary and secondary data.Results of the Research: The ILO, as the representative of the International Labor Organization, has done a lot to oversee and encourage the ratification of domestic worker protection and the immediate passing of the PPRT Bill. In this case, various projects have been carried out by the ILO to facilitate the realization of protection for domestic workers, one of which is by inviting cooperation with various groups from NGOs, employers, and the government. This includes providing socialization and training for domestic workers by inviting cooperation with JALA PRT. JALA PRT also has domestic worker schools in several major cities that provide education to domestic workers regarding the rights and obligations they should receive.

Abstract

Introduction: The North Natuna Sea is rich in natural resources but remains a disputed area due to China’s nine-dash line claim, which overlaps with Indonesia’s EEZ under UNCLOS 1982.Purposes of the Research: The purpose of this study is to analyze Indonesia’s legal position and dispute resolution strategies in the North Natuna Sea.Methods of the Research: This research uses a normative juridical method by analyzing international legal instruments and national regulations related to EEZ and the law of the sea.Results of the Research: The findings show that Indonesia has a strong legal standing over its EEZ in the North Natuna Sea based on UNCLOS 1982. However, enforcement faces challenges such as unilateral claims, illegal foreign vessel activities, limited surveillance capacity, and weak dispute resolution mechanisms. A comprehensive strategy combining legal action, diplomacy, and strengthened economic presence is needed to uphold sovereignty and sustainably manage marine resources.

Abstract

Introduction: Starting the internal conflict of the refugee crisis, Syria as a refugee country which is a domino effect of the Arab Spring phenomenon where the conditions of the Arab countries began the transition from a country with a monarchical system to a democratic system, making Syria one of the largest refugee countries heading to the European Union through Greece. However, Greece's refusal to allow Syrian refugees to enter Greece has led to Greece being found to have expelled and rejected refugees who attempt to enter Greece.Purposes of the Research: Examine and understand the binding force of the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees 1951 according to international treaty law. Examine and know the responsibility of States that have ratified the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees 1951, but do not carry out their responsibilities.Methods of the Research: Using exploratory normative research methods, the problem approaches used are the statute approach, the theoretical approach, and the case approach. The sources of legal materials in this writing are primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The technique of collecting legal materials uses a literature study which is then analyzed qualitatively to answer the problems studied.Results of the Research: The responsibility and compliance of the Greek State that has ratified the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees 1951 towards refugees. Violating an important responsibility regarding refugees is the principle of non-refoulement which prohibits the State from expelling or forcing refugees back where the refugees would face threats to the life and freedom of the refugees. Greece as a party to an international treaty cannot give a reason for not complying with a treaty for national reasons. This makes Greece not comply with and fulfill the obligations of a mutually agreed agreement. Countries that have ratified have a much greater responsibility in their efforts to handle and protect refugees.
