Abstract

After the 9/11 attack, the US government called upon global war on terror (GWOT). Then terrorism has been considered as a threat of global security. It is, therefore, has led both national and international concern under US hegemony. Furthermore, it has affected the proliferation of many national counter-terrorism laws. The terrorist attacks have threatened Indonesia over years. Under the act No.15/2003 jo No.1/Prp/2002 the Indonesian government has successfully conducted prosecutions to the terrorism perpetrators. However, it is identified that there are such violations regarding to international human rights rules and standards. The concern in handling terrorism demands a balance concern between security treatments and human rights. Thus, the challenge’s today are how to maintain the rights to a fair trial for every accused, the safeguard against abuse of power and the commitment of international community to human rights, while also preserving the capacity to national and international security concerns. The article 14 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) enshrines a norm of International Human Rights law which protects individual from the unlawful and arbitrary curtailment of other basic rights and freedoms (a fair trial), which the most prominent are the rights to life and liberty of the person. The civil and political rights are categorized as non-derogable rights, it means that any derogation measures inconsistent with the State’s other obligations under international human rights law is prohibited. Thus, this paper aims to discuss whether and to what extent the right to a fair trial may be compromised in the name of security? Does the fair trial standard can be sacrificed to prosecute terrorism?

Abstract

The existence of Border Crossing Area Agreement (BCA) in 1975 regulating the border agreement between Miangas Island of North Celebes and the Philippines created positive and negative impacts on border people in Miangas Island. The legal aspects, BCA is a legal regulation regulating the border crossing and commerce in that area; economic aspects; BCA has not accommodated border people’s interests maximally yet and it has a limiting impression rather than facilitating people’s interests, thus, illegal trades occur at the border of Miangas Island; social aspects, BCA is hard to implement in this area because it has limited the tradition practicing from generations to generations; political aspects, BCA causes frequent migrations by border people of Miangas Island to the Philippines because of the strong historical and kinship factors, economic factors, to get better education, facilities and infrastructures in health, and communication and transportation that in the Philippines are considered better. These situations made the regional government to use its authority in Act No. 22 of 1999 concerning International Covenant and Act 32 of 2004 concerning Regional Government to empower the Border Crossing Area Agreement in Miangas Island by revising that agreement. The efforts conducted by the government were by issuing the Regional Ordinance No. 1 of 2001 concerning the development of Sangihe and Talaud Islands area and Regional Ordinance No. 2 of 2001 concerning the Spatial Arrangement of Sangihe and Talaud Mainstay Area. It is expected that the Border Trade Area (BTA) will pay attention to the Declaration of Liberal Democration Principles concerning Ethnoculture and National Minority and Native Tribes suggesting the local government to accept, with domestic laws and with the covenant legalized internationally concerning the principles of minority rights implementation, equal in its interests with the classical Human Rights.

Abstract

The waters in North Malacca Strait are one of a number of areas between Indonesia and Malaysia where no clear boundaries exist. Currently, there is an agreement on boundaries of the continental shelf between Indonesia and Malaysia in the area, but as yet there is no agreement on the boundaries for the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The lack of clear boundaries makes it difficult for either State to effectively exercise control over the body of water, not only with regard to fishing activities, but also with regard to environmental and security issues. This paper will discuss the history of the regime of the continental shelf, the Agreement on Continental Shelf Boundaries between Indonesia and Malaysia and the development of the international regimes for the EEZ and the continental shelf under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It will then discuss the importance for Indonesia and Malaysia of having clear EEZ boundaries in the North Malacca Strait.

Abstract

ASEAN represents one of the most dynamic economic regions. However, economic progress was accompanied by massive environmental deterioration. Among the many environmental issues in the region, the rapid growth of waste from electronic and electrical equipment (e-waste) has increasingly drawn international attention. While on the one hand ASEAN is a large producer of electrical and electronic equipment, on the other hand the region is heavily affected by the improper dismantling, recycling and disposal of e-waste. ASEAN failed to come up with a common response whereas individual member states pushed ahead with own legislation in an attempt to address the issue. This study sets out to assess the determining factors that disabled ASEAN to agree on a common policy response in the case of e-waste. Based on the assumption that states act according to the expected gains, the study applies a game theoretical approach to analyze the developments. Furthermore, the work seeks to draw conclusions from the case for future environmental policy formation in the region.

Abstract

The United Nation Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) is a symbol of international community efforts in combating corruption. Most states are state parties to both convention including Indonesia and Singapore. However, domestic politics such as ratify cation by parliament has influenced states’ commitment in combating corruption. Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Treaty was signed in 2007. However, it has not entered into force yet and this is a good example on domestic politics that influences states’ policy and even states’ commitment on an international issue. This extradition treaty therefore, has no strong legal power toward both states since both states just expressed consent to be bound and subject to ratify cation. However, both states should show good faith in continuing the treaty and become legally binding.

Abstract

Piracy is a universal crime that needs to be combated by all nations. International efforts have been done for many years in order to suppress growth of piracy for international maritime security, which resulted in provisions concerning piracy within United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. It refers piracy as a crime taking place on high seas. In addition, International Maritime Organization also attempts to widen the definition of piracy. Even so, tackling piracy requires more than just a commitment of international community to define the term. Efforts must also be conducted by regional community to make them more effective, especially with their national legal instrument. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as the regional organization in Southeast Asia region has sought to better cooperation among the members bringing the six behavioral principles laid in Treaty of Amity and Cooperation 1976 and also ASEAN Charter 2007 for the purpose of eliminating piracy within their region. Unfortunately, piracy is manifestly not easy to be eradicated in reality. This paper tries to identify and analyze the challenges that underlie ASEAN efforts to solve the piracy problem within the region

Abstract

The trans-boundary pollution has become a major issue within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) when the forest fi res took place in Indonesia. Indonesia’s neighboring countries had to face problems dealing with the smoke and haze that spread into their territories. ASEAN Member States’ attempts to combat the smoke and haze problem depicted on Agreement on Trans-boundary Haze Pollution (Haze Agreement), which up to now Indonesia has been the only State that has not ratified the agreement. The reluctance of Indonesia to ratify the agreement becomes a problem to the enforcement. It is contrary to the argument that the ratification is believed to bring some benefits for Indonesia from transfer of knowledge and technology and also from research. While Haze Agreement requires cooperation among ASEAN Member States to reach the objectives of the agreement, the cooperation itself is not limited to the participation of the whole members at the same time, but also possible to conduct such cooperation in form of bilateral effort or other kind of accepted by the parties. With some flexibilities offered by the Haze Agreement, the effectiveness of the agreement does not rely only on the commitment shown by the ratification of ASEAN Member States to the agreement, but also relies on the level compliance that shown by their effort to combat the possibility of upcoming trans-boundary pollution matters within the region.

Abstract

The balance principle contains the ideal of reaching a balance. This includes the balance in a business contract or agreement where respective individual interests are guaranteed by an objective law, specifically in the law of business contracts. This principle regulates parties involved in international business contracts, such as the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980, and in the founding of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In the future, the balance principle will be complementary to the law of international business contracts, while arbitration will be the medium to resolve international civil lawsuits. This article found that the application of the balance principle in the law of international business contracts refers to the principle of efficiency in economics and trade in a competitive international business community. Thus, every business person will guard their business reputation and will consequently abide by what has been agreed upon in international business contracts so as to maintain harmony and balance.

Abstract

In Islam, insurance has actually been practiced since the time of the Prophet Muhammad saw. The precursor of Islamic insurance, according to some scholars is al-diyah ‘ala al-’aqilah. Al-’aqilah is the habit of Arab tribes having been practiced long before Islam where I f one member of the tribe were killed by other tribe members, the heirs of the victim will be paid with blood money (al-diyah) as compensation by the next of kin of the killer. Next of kin of the killer is known as al-’aqilah. After the arrival of Islam, al-aqilah system was approved by the Prophet PBUH as part of Islamic law. Furthermore, al-’aqilah was contained in the Charter of Medina. In the next period, this al-’aqilah or insurance continued to be practiced by the caliphs, especially during Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab until now. Islamic Insurance or sharia-based insurance is more nuanced with generosity rather than profit oriented. Therefore, the aspect of mutual help always serves as a primary basis of the practice of Islamic insurance. Islam regards insurance as a social phenomenon formed on the basis of mutual-help and a sense of humanity. Today Islamic insurance is growing rapidly in many countries. This suggests that Islamic insurance is quite attractive to the public in various countries. The problem is, until now there are many people including some Muslims who do not understand Islamic insurance.
