Abstract

The province of East Kalimantan has the largers tropical forests in Indonesia. throughout the era of the New Order government under President Soeharto the natural resources especially tropical forests were sistematically exploited without any serious effort on the part of the government and private companies to take care of the social and environmental aspect of such exploitation. As a result, severe environmental degradation took place and the local people in the country side lost their sources of livelihood. In the midst of the presence of multinational corporations and private forest concessionaires ironically there were enclaves of poverty. In this area of regional autonomy there is much doubt that the situation could get better as local government authorities tend to repeat past mistakes and they are unable to control the existance practice of illegal logging. This writing will propose some policy suggestions that might be helpful for promoting the principles of sustainable development and putting an end to the phenomenon of “the tragedy of the commons”.

Abstract

If the illegal logging is just a criminal whose involve the poor society which their life depend to the forest, truck driver or forest guards whose underpaid, that criminal would not be difficult to stop. With the involvement of support from the illegal logging funders, which usually called cukong, illegal logging industry and government employees, the illegal logging has become a complex problem, not only in Indonesia, but also for the international forest community. The forestry law enforcement approach which now is running failed to capture the mastermind of illegal logging. But, the money laundering law enforcement approach which with the approach in “follow the money” may be the option to face the actors in illegal logging. This approach requires the bank and the other financial service providers for more active and careful in run the financial transaction whose related to their customers. Bank customers may be the funders of illegal logging, wood industry, law enforcement instrument and government instrument. Overall, the use of anti-money laundering regime effectively will give the opportunies to encourage the banking precautionary principles and the forest management, and to reduce the forest criminal.

Abstract

A growing debate on the imposition of digital services tax emerged as one of the latest trade war battlegrounds. Indonesia and the European Union (EU) are among the countries that have taken unilateral actions to implement digital services tax. This paper examines (i) digital services tax regulation in Indonesia and the EU and (ii) whether the digital services tax regulation violates the non-discrimination principles of WTO according to the GATS. By comparing the statutory and practice of digital services tax in Indonesia and the EU, this work concludes that firstly, digital services tax in Indonesia is regulated by law, which implements significant economic presence (SEP) criteria. In the EU, digital services tax is regulated through the Council Directives and implements ring-fencing method as well as SEP criteria. Secondly, the non-discrimination principles in the GATS are promulgated in Article II concerning Most-Favored Nation Treatment and Article XVII concerning National Treatment as well as relevant jurisprudence of WTO case laws. Indonesia and the EU’s digital services tax regulation are not discriminatory, because based on existing indicators, the existence of both de jure and de facto discrimination is not proven. This paper suggests that in the event that there are member states who decide to challenge the measures to the WTO, Indonesia and the EU should provide evidence that shows the absence of unfavorable treatment of certain WTO member states in digital services tax practices by Indonesia and the EU.

Abstract

This study used a legal framework developed by a recent scholarship to examine the protection of foreign investments in disputed maritime areas. The framework classifies these areas and establishes the jurisdictional challenges faced by investment tribunals in such constellations. For instance, there are high-profile foreign investments in the South China Sea (SCS) with significant threats of increasing escalation between SCS states. Therefore, this study aimed to examine investment protection in disputed waters of SCS using this framework. Since BITs of SCS states include maritime areas beyond the territorial sea in their territories, there is need to abide to international law. Therefore, tribunals are caught in a double bind when deciding on their jurisdiction. For instance, they need to assess whether disputed maritime areas fall under the BIT’s territorial scope of protection, conferring them to territorial jurisdiction. This necessitate the need to determine the maritime entitlements conformity with international law, which is against the scope of jurisdiction of the investment tribunal. The results showed that tribunals may not overcome this jurisdictional hurdle as a matter de lege lata. In this regard, de lege feranda are promising legal rationales to establish incidental jurisdiction over disputed maritime areas. Therefore, tribunals decide on their jurisdiction over investments in these areas.

Abstract

The New York Produce Exchange Inter-Club Agreement (the 'ICA') is a staple maritime cargo claims provision incorporated into popular charter party forms, the NYPE46, ASBATIME, and NYPE15. It mechanically regulates cargo liability apportionment between charterers and shipowners mechanically for quick dispute resolution. This study aimed to examine the use and application of the ICA through a private international law lens to evaluate the ICA’s choice of law (being English law). ICA is an independent contract applicable to national legislation or any international convention, such as the Hague Rules, Hague-Visby Rules, and Hamburg Rules. It protects the commercial interests of shipowners and charterers and accommodates mandatory rules imposed by each jurisdiction. Furthermore, the popularity of ICA throughout the maritime industry as an apportionment mechanism was also determined by evaluating previous cases handled by English, Australian, and American Federal courts. Its importance in solving inconsistencies within maritime law on cargo apportionment and the perspective of ICA under the private international conflict of laws were also examined. Library research Involved studying conventions, statutes, and well-established cases of conflict of laws, private international law, cargo claims, and the ICA.

Abstract

Multinational Corporation (MNC) influence and contribution in the world’s economic development, particularly in the realm of international investment is vast and inevitable. The way MNC utilizes its subsidiaries however, has posed an issue for host States specifically in relation with the serial of ISDS claims which is faced by host States. Where the structure of MNC’s investment enables them to go ‘treaty-shopping’. It is understood that there is a causality between the broad definition of investment and investor contained in the older generation of BITs toward these series of claims. It is also more often than not, in the case of an investment that was made through a subsidiary company, arbitral tribunals will accept such investment as an investment that is protected under the relevant BIT due to how investment and investor are defined. Consequently, it has put a considerable amount of concern to host States and in response, States are now starting to move forward to a new generation of BITs with a hope that it could give more clarity and certainty compared to the previous generation of BITs, particularly in regard with the definition of investment and investor. Questions arise on whether it really brings more clarity and certainty in terms of an investment that was made through a subsidiary? This article will analyze the impact of the newly tailored definition clause under the latest generation of BITs toward an investment that is conducted through a subsidiary including the legal standing of the investor therein.
