Abstract

The disposal of Indonesian crew members’ bodies by the Long Xing 629 exposed a harrowing gap in maritime labor protections and international human rights law. This study analyzes the legality of burials at sea against established international standards, examining whether such practices constitute a necessity or a convenient cover for rights abuses. Utilizing a normative juridical method with a statutory and international law approach, this research examines the legal implications of the disposal of Indonesian crew members’ bodies at sea by the Long Xing 629. The study analyzes the jurisdictional and enforcement gaps within the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), particularly concerning the obligations of flag states under Articles 94 and 98, the protection of human dignity at sea, and the accountability mechanisms for alleged human rights abuses against migrant fishery workers. Furthermore, the research evaluates whether burial at sea in this case constituted a legitimate maritime necessity under international maritime practice or served as a concealment of labor exploitation and violations of international human rights standards. While flag states—in this case, China—hold primary jurisdiction on the high seas, the Long Xing 629 incident reveals a blatant disregard for burial protocols and the fundamental dignity of migrant workers. The findings suggest that weak enforcement mechanisms allow flag states to bypass accountability, leaving Indonesian seafarers in a legal vacuum. The study concludes that the Indonesian government must pivot toward aggressive diplomatic and legal strategies to hold flag states liable for human rights violations, ensuring that the high seas do not remain a lawless zone for the global maritime workforce.

Abstract

This study examines the administrative and legal framework that regulates the activities of entities responsible for conscription and mobilization in Ukraine under conditions of martial law. The analysis focuses on the legal status, powers, and institutional authority of state bodies, local government bodies, territorial recruitment and social support centers, as well as civil society actors involved in mobilization processes. The scope of the legal analysis covers both national legal documents regulating mobilization and specific international and comparative approaches to organizing conscription systems and civil-military coordination during periods of armed conflict. Using formal-legal, comparative-legal, and systematic methods, the study identifies the main categories of conscription support entities, including bodies with general, special, and specialized jurisdiction. The comparative dimension of the study is limited to an examination of international scholarly approaches and foreign legal models regarding the management of mobilization, civil-military interaction, and administrative coordination in wartime. The findings reveal significant shortcomings in the legal regulation of these entities, including unclear delineation of powers, overlapping responsibilities, and the lack of a comprehensive legal framework governing regional recruitment and social support centers. The study argues that improving the institutional clarity and legal regulation of mobilization authorities’ activities is essential for enhancing administrative efficiency, legal certainty, and defence capabilities under conditions of prolonged martial law.
