Abstract

Piracy that occurs in the straits of Malacca has become a serious problem that need to be solved. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been combating piracy in this particular area since 2009. In an attempt to do so, UNODC creates a Counter Piracy Program (CPP) that has been implemented in several African Countries. However, UNODC doesn’t define the limitation of piracy which described in 1982 UNCLOS that only defines it as piracy on high seas. Whereas, piracy is not only takes place on high seas but also within territories of the states jurisdiction. The lack of ability to implement the provisions in national scope become another problem in regards preventing piracy in the Straits of Malacca.

Abstract

This article examines the concepts of self executing treaties and non-self executing treaties. These two concepts are inadvertently related to the dualist and monist theory of international law. They also relate to the question of direct applicability and municipal validity of treaties. This article will show that non-self executing treaties are not always analogous with the concept of dualism under international law. Likewise, treaties might presumably be self executing even in dualist states. It is therefore imperative to acquire an understanding of these two concepts by discerning and analysing them. Such understanding will provide clarity to the question of dualist transformation theory in regards to the municipal validity of treaties. berita politik nasional terkini aims to explore these two concepts, in particular their main ideas, how they relate and attempt to affect the theoretical problem of monism versus dualism with regards to treaties. This article traces the origins of the concept of self-executing treaties by examining it under American law and the European Union legal order as well as relevant decisions by international courts. This Article will then move to examine various scholars suggestion to establish criteria for non-self executing treaties

Abstract

Just Recently ASEAN has adopted The ASEAN Human Rights Declaration. This declaration is a corner stone for ASEAN to establish human rights law instruments and mechanism in the future in order to support the upcoming ASEAN Community in 2015. However there are a lot of critiques upon the Declaration mostly come from human rights activist and NGOs. It is crticized that the declaration's principles and articles could be erode universality of human rights as stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Highly criticized is to article 7 of the Declaration which mention that the realization of human rights must be considered in the regional and national context bearing in mind differentpolitical, economic, legal, social, cultural, historical and religious backgrounds. It argues that this article will use as a tool for state to limit the people rights. Contrary to mainstream critiques, the paper argues that the declaration did not contain any principles that erode the universality of human rights and fundamental freedom. Article 7 of the declaration is a limitation of rights pursuant to the international human rights law called Margin of Appreciation. The margin of appreciation doctrine allows the court to take into effect the fact that the Convention will be interpreted differently in different member states. Judges are obliged to take into account the cultural, historic and philosophical differences between Strasbourg and the nation in question.

Abstract

Terrorism is defined generally under the Anti-Terrorism Law as the intentional use of ‘violence or the threat of violence to create a widespread atmosphere of terror or fear in public’. Indonesia is a victim of terrorism, but at the same time, a safe haven for terrorists. The Indonesian government has taken various measures to eradicate terrorism, yet the Anti-Terrorism Law has not been effective in eradicating terrorist acts in Indonesia. Implementation and enforcement of Anti-Terrorism Law has not been an easy task. Terrorism for Indonesia is a complex and multifaceted issue. This article argues that the successful experience of some other countries in eradicating terrorism may not be applicable to Indonesia. Indonesia has peculiar problems which require anti-terrorism efforts to be sufficiently sensitive to the local context.

Abstract

Since the attack to the World Trade Centre in 11 September 2001, the world has raised their awareness to any of serious allegation of terrorist activities. Many steps have been taken by the United Nations and the states to make such legislatives in their national and international level in order to prevent and combat terrorism. The world really condemns what the terrorist have done and put their maximal effort to punish them as well as to protect the innocence from experiencing such dangerous cause of such activity. The hatred of terrorists brings many actions brought by the nations, especially the United States, as a revenge of the painful feeling of those who were left by the victims. It often leads to the act of torture and inhuman treatment done by the official to the terrorist detainees. This paper will focus on the prohibition of torture and inhuman treatment both in the United States and the United Kingdom and the United States extra-territorial actions in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib prisons and also the United Kingdom’s extra-territorial conducts in treating prisoners in Iraq in relation to Al-Skeini case. Both actions of the states might be considered as a violation of national and international human rights rules because of the existence of torture in treating the terrorist detainees during their military operations. Therefore, it is important to examine whether human rights law applies extra-territorially to such violations. This study would apply the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT) 1984, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) 1966 and the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (IACHR) with respect to the United States actions and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) 1950, the CAT and the ICCPR for the United Kingdom’s actions.
