Abstract

The Southeast Asian region has experienced transboundary haze on an almost annual basis for decades. ASEAN has been the platform for regional cooperation and collaboration for regional haze mitigation since 1985. ASEAN’s main legally-binding instrument for this purpose is the 2012 Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (ATHP). Despite this, haze episodes continue to persist until present times. This paper analyses recent legal developments related to transboundary haze management among the three main affected countries; Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Particularly, it examines Singapore’s Transboundary Haze Pollution Act, an extra-territorial act that extends criminal and civil liability to anyone causing or contributing to haze in Singapore. It also analyses Indonesia’s ratification of the ATHP, which followed soon after Singapore unilaterally passed their Act. Finally, it considers Malaysia’s indecisiveness in deciding its next legal move in the face of these developments among its neighbours. The ASEAN Way, a set of behavioural or procedural norms that govern regional engagement, prescribes nonlegalistic procedures and non-interference of sovereign rights, among others. This paper uses the framework of the “myth” of the ASEAN Way, popularly argued by Nischalke in 2000, to explain the changing positions of the associated states towards legal recourse related to transboundary haze. It argues that ASEAN member states can choose whether or not to adhere to the ASEAN Way in order to preserve crucial economic interests, without suffering any consequences. Hence, shifting national interests among these three states over time can likewise explain shifting attitudes and compliance towards certain ASEAN Way norms.

One of state’s border management cooperation between West Kalimantan and Sarawak is done through socio-economic cooperation, which has the goals to improve the border community’s prosperity. Although people in the border have a socio-cultural similarities, there are differences in the level of welfare because infirmity of state presence in fulfilling their economic rights. This condition causes the border communities have tendency to depend on neighboring countries and maintain transnational economic relations, even though they have to breaking the national law. These facts show that in essence, the bilateral cooperation agreement between Indonesia and Malaysia has not provided optimal fulfillment of the economic rights of border communities of West Kalimantan with Sarawak.

Abstract

Under the WTO laws, countries are allowed to protect their national industry by imposing tariffs as well as non-tariff measures (NTM). While the WTO is committed to reduce tariff, it does not have uniform treatment towards NTMs. One type of NTM that becomes the disputed subject of several WTO cases is Local Content Requirement (LCR) because while it can help national industry, it is seen as discriminatory towards imported products. This work discusses whether the application of the Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri (TKDN) or LCR provisions for 4G LTE communication devices in Indonesia is in conformity with WTO laws. By analyzing relevant WTO agreements and rulings, this work will demonstrate that Indonesia’s LCR provisions in 4G LTE sector may not be in conformity with the GATT and TRIMS but at the same time it does not violate the GATS, ASCM, and GPA because such LCR provisions do not fall under those three agreements. In light of those, this writing suggests that the government of Indonesia bring the LCR provisions in 4G LTE sector into conformity with WTO laws by revoking the provisions mandating the need to use local over imported products to avoid potential claims from other WTO members.

Abstract

The archipelagic regime, one of the novel aspects of UNCLOS, is a quartum genris, combining characteristics of internal waters, territorial sea and straits used for international navigation. The present article assesses the relevant UNCLOS provisions, by themselves, and in light of the South China Sea and Düzgit Integrity awards. The former clarifies the conditions under which a State may draw archipelagic baselines, the second postulates that, beyond various obligations expressly provided for in the Convention, the archipelagic State must exercise its sovereignty respecting the principle of reasonabless and proportionality. It remains to be seen if these decisions correctly assess the state of the law and if their progressive development dimension will ripen into consensual interpretation of Part IV UNCLOS.

Through this frontier, it is found number of problems that arise such as the smuggling of goods and people, drug trafficking, terrorism, small arms smuggling and occupation of territory by neighbouring countries. Not all these problems can be handled by the government and Indonesia National Army (Tentara Nasional Indonesia or TNI).

Through the civil reserve component, the community will be given training to strengthen Pancasila values while preparing the community to be responsive to the various border issues. Using a juridical normative study, this paper will discuss the benefits and challenges of border security through the strengthening of the civil reserve component using national law and international law perspectives

Abstract

The issue of illegal migrant workers is not a new phenomenon in developed countries, such as European countries, known as destination countries for migrants to seek better life. In the Netherlands, in particular, we find a big number of Indonesian migrants who stay and work without proper documents. These workers exist since the 18th century up to nowadays, especially since the establishment of the European Union (EU) which opens up European countries’ internal borders, specifically known as the ‘schengen countries’. They come mostly to European countries such as France and Germany as a tourist and thereafter go to the Netherlands to stay and work illegally. For developing countries such as Indonesia, the issue of illegal migrant workers is not really common. The existence of Chinese Illegal migrant workers has become a great issue in Indonesia at the end of the year 2016. Unlike the Indonesian workers in the Netherlands, the Chinese workers are invited by the company to come and work in Indonesia ‘temporarily.’ because of a contract between Chinese investors and the Indonesia government to transfer their knowledge and technology to the locals. A problem comes when these Chinese migrant workers stay even after their visa is expired and keep working in Indonesia. This paper will describe the background that drive migrants to stay and work illegally in another country and compare the law on migrant/ foreign workers and immigration law in EU, in particular in the Netherlands as well as the free movement regulation and its impact.

Abstract

This essay examines whether or not foreign cultural practices in one particular country, can be considered as an infringement of state border. Legal arguments, is certainly not sufficient to explore this issue. Various reasons to be employed in order to reach the conclusion; cultural practices are not incompatible with the principle of state sovereignty. Cultural practices cannot be limited in certain or fixed space. Culture always follows who advocates and practices it. Globalization makes culture no more bound to geographical area, race and religion.

Abstract

While the number of established maritime boundaries steadily increases, there are many situations where delimitation disputes between neighboring States remains unsettled. In the latter situations, States may face the existence of a hydrocarbon deposit that is located in an area where their maritime claims overlap. The presence of such a deposit inevitably creates a range of intricate legal (and political) issues. One of the issues is related to the question of whether States can unilaterally authorize hydrocarbon activities with respect to this deposit and, if so, what type of conduct is allowed in undelimited maritime areas. This article seeks to find an answer to the mentioned question.
