Abstract

With the advancement of globalization, the rate of migration of people from one nations to another nations is getting higher. This might result in causing the problems for those migratingpeople in the destination countries. Most of these problems related to the violation of the destination’s state immigration rules, for example, illegal entry, forged passport, and so forth. Providing protection to its citizens who are coping with problems abroad is one of the state’s obligations. Fulfilling this specific obligation is not a simple task for states. Therefore, all states would put high priority to this duty. In dealing with this matter, most states refer to the existing international convention, such as the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, as well as the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. However, some states need more than these international conventions to solve the problem. Some states would have a bilateral arrangement to provide protection to their own citizens. These arrangements could touch upon very specific matters to ease the potential problems. This article would describe the protection programs in Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines. In providing protection for their citizens, each country stipulates their basic policy uniquely, based on their political, economic and socio-cultural interests.

Abstract

Since the Stockholm Declaraton of 1972, the principles of environmental legal principles fundamentally changed the formulation of new international environmental law. The formuation of environmental legal provision was significantly influenced by a scientific approach, such as ecological and environmental concepts. The role of international environmental law is increasingly greater on the ecological approach rather than on the general principles of international law. The structure of international environmental law is also changed related to, among others, state responsibility, states rights and obligations, and the rising of the eco-rights and the animal rights that fundamentally changed the customary international law approach into new progressive development of international environmental law. Through ratification, the national environmental law has been significantly improved, and there is a growing recognition of the integrated system of national environmental law and international environmental law.

Abstract

Considering the potential for the use and exploration of outer space, it was essential that there existed a regulatory mechanism to control the activities of man in outer space. The Outer Space Treaty, 1967 (hereinafter referred to as the “OST”), aimed at extending the principles of international law, especially the laws with respect to the use of weapons, into outer space. The author, in the course of this paper will take into consideration certain significant issues pertaining to the use of outer space for military purposes, primarily in light of the OST and certain United Nations General Assembly Resolutions. This paper focuses on the thin line separating peaceful and military purposes and the unfortunate militarisation of outer space due to the gaping loop hole in the Treaty. The paper also intends to evaluate whether the existing legal framework still leaves outer space inefficiently regulated and open to use for purposes that are peaceful, yet military. The author would like to suggest certain amendments to the existing OST that might achieve the objectives of the enactment.

Abstract

Throughout the world and over the centuries, societies have welcomed frightened, weary foreigners, the victims of persecution and violence in their place of habitual residence. Basically every State has the responsibility of protecting refugees and asylum seekers within its teritory. Protection of refugees and asylum seekers is a classical issue in International Law. Nowadays more than 140 States have adopted International Instruments of Refugee Law. Eventhough the right to seek asylum has been enshrined in the Indonesian Consitution and the Human Rights Act ; up to nowadays Indonesia has not adopted any International Instrument of Refugee Law and has no national operative legislation dealing with the protection of refugee and asylum seeker. The objective of this paper was to discuss the urgency and the stumbling blocks of incorporating International Instruments of Refugee Law into the Indonesian Law. It should be born in mind that a national legislation concerning the protection of refugees and asylum seekers indicate commitment of a State to the protection of refugees and asylum seekers indicate commitement of a State to the protection and promotion of Human Rights in general. An incorporation of refugee law into the Indonesian Legal System would fill the gap concerning the unavailability of operational legal instrument dealing with refugee and asylum seeker in Indonesia.

Abstract

An unexplored are in the discussions of fragmentation of international law is the relationship between the WTO Agreements and Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs). Indonesia has recently challenged the United States before the Dispute Settlement Body of the World Trade Organization in a case regarding US measures affecting the importation and sale of cigarettes from Indonesia. If a WTO Panel or the Appellate Body were to find the United States’ measures inconsistent with the WTO Agreements and the United States were not to comply with the Panel or Appellate Body report, the WTO could authorize Indonesia to suspend concessions to the United States under the GATT, the GATS or the TRIPS agreement. This paper addresses the possible conflicts that might arise between the authorization to suspend concessions under the WTO Agreements on the one hand and BITs on the other. This paper argues that a BIT between Indonesia and the Unites States could severely undermine Indonesia’s position to persuade the United States to comply with an adverse ruling by the WTO in the cigarettes case.
