Abstract The article explores the current stagnation in multilateral law-making based on an analysis of recent treaty attempts across various subfields of international law. It further examines why the law of the sea has continued to evolve despite this trend. The article demonstrates that states still regularly seek multilateral treaties to address new challenges. While there is some evidence of general treaty saturation, it is the current inability of traditional great powers to negotiate new binding norms which is the most constraining factor on multilateral law-making. This in turn is related to deeper geopolitical shifts by which traditional great powers, notably the United States and its allies, have seen their relative influence decline. Until the current great power competition ends or settles into a new mode of international co-operation, new multilateral treaties with actual regulatory effect will rarely emerge. The law of the sea has avoided the current trend of stagnation for primarily three reasons (i) a global commitment to the basic tenets of the law of the sea; (ii) a legal framework that affords rights and obligations somewhat evenly disbursed, allowing less powerful states to use their collective leverage to advance multilateral negotiations, despite intermittent great power opposition; and (iii) the avoidance of entrenched multilateral forums where decisions are reached by consensus only.

Buku ini sangat direkomendasikan tidak saja bagi mahasiswa dan pemerhati, tetapi juga bagi pembuat kebijakan dalam isu-isu keamanan maritim dan hukum laut. Khusus bagi studi Hubungan Internasional, buku ini menawarkan pendekatan trans-disciplinary yang dimulai dengan pertanyaan kritis tentang evolusi hukum laut melalui (re-)konstruksi keamanan, permasalahan, dan tantangan kontemporer hingga arah perubahan kebijakan. Fokus pada analisa perangkat hukum, buku ini menggunakan pendekatan historis untuk memahami proses, diskursi tentang keberlanjutan (continuity) dan perubahan kepentingan negara di laut. Meski buku ini seakan melegitimasi dominasi perspektif negara dalam pendefinisian keamanan seperti yang dikatakan oleh Michael Reisman dalam kata pengantarnya, tetapi penulis, Natalie Klein, berhasil meyakinkan pentingnya pendekatan konstruktivisme dalam memformulasi pertanyaan riset dan menghadirkan analisa kritis.Ulasan buku ini akan dipaparkan dalam tiga bagian. Pertama, tentang pendekatan penulis dalam memetakan permasalahan maritim dan pengaturannya oleh negara. Kedua, mengulas struktur paparan di buku ini yang menggunakan pendekatan tematik. Bagian terakhir membahas kritik dan relevansi buku ini dengan kondisi di Indonesia, termasuk saran yang berkaitan dengan agenda lanjutan bagi diskursi dan riset keamanan maritim dan hukum laut.

The aim of this chapter is to examine the role of the United Nations (UN) in treaty-making in the field of the law of the sea. In particular, this chapter addresses the First and Third United Nations Conferences on the Law of the Sea, and the treaty-making process of two implementation agreements, that is, the 1994 Implementation Agreement and the 1995 Fish Stocks Agreement. In this regard, it is important to note that the tasks of the conferences in the field of the law of the sea have changed over time. At the First UN Conference on the Law of the Sea, its primary task was to establish a legal framework for coordinating interests of individual states according to multiple jurisdictional zones. In contrast, the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea that adopted the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) dealt not only with the reconciliation of competing state interests but also with the safeguarding of community interests, such as the establishment of the deep seabed regime on the basis of the principle of common heritage of mankind and marine environmental protection. As demonstrated by this Conference, the task of treaty-making conferences under the auspices of the UN is no longer limited to the reconciliation of state interests but includes the safeguard and promotion of community interests at sea. Thus, the reconciliation between state interests and community interests should be a crucial issue in treaty-making in the law of the sea.

This chapter assesses maritime security under the 1982 UN Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC). It discusses critical issues in contemporary maritime security, highlighting ongoing boundary disputes, transnational crime, and intelligence gathering. It considers the question of what the future may hold for maritime security. It suggests that maritime security will likely remain of fundamental concern and continue to influence legal developments, but perhaps only to the extent that national interests can be asserted and accepted as shared interests.
