This paper seeks to explain the implementation of the ASEAN Consensus 2017 on the issue of migrant workers’ protection. Entikong was chosen as a research object because of its position as Indonesia’s border gate that distributes migrant workers to Malaysia. The problem of migrant workers still an obstacle to ASEAN member states. The consensus brings a new hope towards a better protection on the issue of migrant workers. Nevertheless, Indonesia has been struggling with the cases of migrant workers. This paper employs the concept of multilevel governance and human security. We argue that at the national and local level, the implementation was quite good. There were some different understandings regarding the consensus. Local government or vertical institution in the region was not well informed about the document, but their acts on the issue of migrant workers were implementing the spirit of the consensus. On the international level, Indonesia also participated in conducting an action plan on the implementation of ASEAN Consensus and promoted other ASEAN members to create a legally binding instrument on the issue of migrant workers protection in Southeast Asia.

The 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage houses countries that have a vision and mission to protect underwater relics. By emphasizing the aspects of cooperation based on notification and reporting, this convention normatively measures the implementation of programs that depend on the capabilities of its member countries as a regime for archaeological relics preservation that sank on the seabed. Until now the Indonesian government has not ratified the convention and even tends to reject it. In fact, Indonesia as an archipelagic country has the responsibility to preserve the legacy of underwater cultural heritage in its sea area. This article analyzes the strategic decision of the Indonesian government to delay ratifying the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage. The theory of state participation in international organizations suggests that a convention requires commitment from the parties involved to solve global problems. Ratification is needed by the state to be bound by the convention to achieve national interests. In the end the decision not to join the convention was due to its impact which did not provide benefits for the state.

Indonesia has ratified the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and guarantees freedom of religion or belief (FoR). However, violations of FoR in Indonesia remains occur after 2015. This paper analyses this issue using the concept of norms localization which assumes that the implementation of international norms is the main factor that affects Indonesia’s effort to implement the FoR. There is a gap between international norms, that is Article 18 of the ICCPR and the Indonesia’s positive law regulating FoR. In addition, the characteristics of religious demography and religious behaviour of Indonesian people affect the implementation of FoR. As a result, the implementation of the norms by local actors such as the National Commission of Human Rights (Komnas HAM) is diminished. This paper concludes that in implementing the norms the government interprets the social and political context at societal level. The government is oftently forced by certain groups so it could be the potential violator of the FoR regulations that has been agreed upon.
