However, there are obstacles in implementation of the concept in developing countries, because, among others, lack of conducive environment for its growth including the weaknesses in economic law and its enforcement, and cultural hindrance. This article discusses the U.S. venture capital concept; it’s successful in the U.S. and its problems of implementation in developing countries, and alternative solutions for better implementation in the future.

Abstract

The logging ban policy is applying in several countries, such as Thailand and Indonesia, in order to deal with deforestation and forest degradation in natural forests. However, both countries still have had difficulties resolving the problem. The logging ban in Thailand does not work as expected due to centralized systems of forestry policy that still applies in Thailand. However, Indonesia is actively adjusting the decentralized system, which gives authority to local governments to set policies regarding forestry. The effectiveness of logging ban to achieve conservation goals and economic development continues to be debated; however, it should be noted that the logging ban is not a standalone policy. The policy should be supported by other policy and it should also consider factors such as availability of human resources and adequate budget for the implementation. The underlying issue is also important to measure in order to formulate proper planning arrangement so that a comprehensive solution can be found to combat deforestation and forest degradation.

Abstract

Maintaining regional peace and security is a major concern for the Association of South East Asian Nations(ASEAN) while preserving strong and strategic ties with China is also imperative for the protection of regional economic and security interests. In a territorial dispute that involves most ASEAN nations to a different extent, delicately crafting a diplomatic solution to protect good working relations among ASEAN nations and China will become increasingly difficulty. China has been accused of intimidating and using other coercive tactics against the Philippines and Vietnam in its bid to claim large areas of the South China Sea against the interests of ASEAN member states. Despite these tensions, ASEAN, nor its member nations have “condemned‟ these actions, or sort to sanction the Chinese at the risk of damaging lucrative economic relations to the detriment of security and stability in the region. A lack of solidarity within the ASEAN community has the capacity to undermine its function and response which has thus far been limited in addressing this issue. This paper will discuss aspects of Philippine, Vietnamese and Indonesian government policy towards China and characterize ASEAN‟s role in resolving and managing the conflict. The Philippines and Vietnam have increasingly troubled and deteriorating relations with the Chinese, in contrast with the Indonesians, who are working expeditiously to strengthen ties with the Chinese across a plethora of foreign policy and defense cooperation issues. The prospect of a unified ASEAN response to the South China Sea territorial dispute remains unlikely. Indonesia‟s proposed code of conduct may be the first step in addressing peace and security, however is not a long term solution and governments throughout the region must continue ongoing robust diplomatic efforts through ASEAN, bilaterally and multilaterally, with international assistance and cooperation, to resolve these territorial disputes.

Abstract

Climate change is already causing significant loss and damage, and this issue has only become more urgent. Indonesia as the biggest archipelagic state in the world has faced great challenge of loss and damage due to climate change. Moreover, Southeast Asia is highly vulnerable to climate change as a large proportion of the population and economic activity is concentrated along coastlines; the region is heavily reliant on agriculture for livelihoods; there is a high dependence on natural resources and forestry; and the level of extreme poverty remains high. Vulnerability differs between South East Asia’s countries, however they are not immune from the occurrence of bad impacts. For that reason, regional cooperation is essential to cope with climate change and its impacts. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has stated loss and damage as the actual and/or potential manifestation of impacts associated with climate change in developing countries that negatively affect human and natural systems. Future loss and damage is potentially of unimaginable magnitude. These associated loss and damage now require new approaches that must also consider the challenge of addressing non-economic losses. In 2009, an ASEAN Climate Change Initiative (ACCI) was created to enhance coordination and cooperation in addressing climate change. This article will presents an overview of strategy and mechanism on ACCI as loss and damage response, furthermore, what kind of prospect can be taken by Indonesia. Therefore, it will analyze how such regional cooperation are made possible to be a panacea for climate change problem.

The second one looks for the eradication of risks and it may even require the ‘‘proof demand’’ of innocuousness. Implementation of the precautionary principle in the fishing sector became established as a reaction in general situation of world fish stocks to guarantee the sustainability of the exploitations. This paper tries to stress the implementation of the precautionary principle in Australia’s practice to application in Indonesia’ legal framework of fisheries. The Concept of precautionary principle must analysis with compatibility principle before implementation in national level. Needed to fisheries governance of the management and conservation of legislation or establish a new national single instrument of conservation of fisheries.

Abstract

This paper, entitled Corruption and Reversal Burden of Proof, was intended to deal with a question on the extent of the effectiveness of a reversal burden of proof as stipulated in positive (applicable) Indonesia law, that is, as provided for in Law Number 31 of 1999 on Eradication of Corruption Crime. Then, a problem that rose next was: could the application of reversal burden of proof in proving a corruption crime case prevent or reduce or even eliminate totally corruption crimes in Indonesia? This research built on a theoretical frame of thought from Roscoe Pound, who maintains that law is a tool of social engineering. This concept was cited by Muchtar Kusumaatmadja, who adapted it to Indonesia conditions and adjusted it to be law as a social engineering medium. Engineering is meant here as a transformation of the thinking ways of people from traditional thinking ways to modern ones. Law should be made as a means in resolving the entire problems that emerge between and among community, including corruption crimes. One of the things that needs to be changed is a law of proof law system, that is, from a conventional proof system to be a reversal one. This paper was written by a juridical-normative method, that is, by studying legislations, be they are contained in laws and those contained in literature/books on legal science, particularly legislations related to reversal burden of proof. Then, the results, in a form of juridical aspect, was written in a descriptiveanalytical form. The overall conclusion of this research was an answer of the problems posed above, that is: Corruption crimes have been continuously occurring till now in Indonesia. Thus, Law Number 31 of 1999, particularly Article 37, has not been effective yet in eradicating corruption crimes.

This essay discusses the very definition of money laundering, the role FATF takes in order to prevent money laundering, and the responses of Indonesia regarding money laundering.

Abstract

Since an aircraft was invented, an aircraft is not only used for transporting person from one place to another, but also can be used in war until revenge terrorism ideology and faith against a state. Furthermore, an aircraft is a representative of state where the aircraft is registered, which is also defined by terrorist as a target to attack a state. Attacking a civil aircraft is categorized as an international crime. Hereinafter, since Tokyo Convention 1960 declared, the evolution of crimes against civil aircraft has been evolved. The main target of offences is still an aircraft, however, the offence is diverted by attacking others target such as all facilitations relating to the security in civil aviation including airport and air navigation. 9/11 accident in USA is a picture how terrorism offence is still evolving. Now, aircraft and ground navigation facilitations are not the only main object in attacking by terrorist. The aircraft now is used to attack others ground target which are represented a state.
