AbstractIndonesia ratified the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) through the Law number 7 of 2006. Article 33 of the UNCAC legally obliges the State Parties to provide protection to whistleblowers. The existence of whistleblower is pivotal to uncover the hidden practices of corruption. Anti-corruption strategy encourages whistleblowers to unveil corrupt practices to the law enforcement agencies and public. Due to this task, therefore, whistleblowers must be protected from any kind of retaliation. Indonesia has the Law number 13 of 2006 juncto the Law number 31 of 2014 concerning witness and victim protection which regulates the protection of whistleblower in the Indonesian criminal legal system. This paper analyzes existence of legal protection for whistleblowers in the respective provisions which contained within the Law number 13 of 2006 and the Law number 31 of 2014, specifically on anti-retaliation protection by analyzing the synchronization of the law with Article 33 of the UNCAC. The provisions of national law vis-à-vis with the provisions of UNCAC concerning whistleblower protection, the national law has not provided best protection to whistleblower yet due to the possibility of retaliation be made against the whistleblowers that is not regulated by the national law.Keywords: Indonesia, corruption, whistleblower, United Nations Convention Against Corruption.IntisariIndonesia meratifikasi United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) melalui Undang-undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2006. Pasal 33 UNCAC memberikan kewajiban hukum bagi Negara Pihak untuk menyediakan perlindungan terhadap para whistleblowers. Eksistensi whistleblower merupakan hal yang sangat penting untuk membuka praktek tersembunyi korupsi. Strategi anti-korupsi memberikan dorongan bagi para whistleblower untuk membuka praktek-praktek korupsi kepada penegak hukum dan masyarakat. Oleh karena tugasnya tersebut, para whistleblower harus dilindungi dari segala bentuk tindakan pembalasan. Indonesia memiliki Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 2014 tentang Perubahan atas Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2006 tentang Perlindungan Saksi dan Korban  yang di dalamnya mengatur perlindungan terhadap whistleblower dalam sistem hukum pidana Indonesia. Tulisan ini menganalisis eksistensi perlindungan hukum bagi whistleblower dalam pasal-pasal tentang perlindungan whistleblower dalam Undang-Undang Perlindungan Saksi dan Korban, secara spesifik pada perlindungan terhadap tindakan pembalasan dengan menganalisis sinkronisasi hukum terhadap Pasal 33 UNCAC. Pasal-pasal dalam hukum nasional vis-à-vis dengan Ppasal UNCAC tentang perlindungan terhadap whistleblower, hukum nasional belum mampu menyediakan perlindungan terbaik bagi whistleblower dikarenakan adanya kemungkinan untuk dilakukannya tindakan pembalasan terhadap whistleblower yang belum diatur dalam hukum nasional.Kata kunci: Indonesia, korupsi, whistleblower, United Nations Convention Against Corruption.

The Law

The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea established spe-cific rules for the delineation of the outer limit of the continental shelf in Article 76. This Article contains two formulae and two constraints. Regarding these constraints, the coastal State can apply, whichever is more favorable to its claim, unless the exception established under Article 76 (6), first sentence, applies. This exception establishes that, on submarine ridges, the State can only apply the 350 nautical miles distance constraint. However, Article 76 (6), second sentence, introduces a counter-exception and preserves the State’s right to ap-ply either constraint when the seafloor high is a submarine elevation that is a natural compo-nent of the continental margin

Throughout the past forty years various leaders from both major political parties in Australia have categorized the arrival by boat of people seeking asylum as a “crisis” and the people themselves as “illegal.” This is despite Australia being a signatory to the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, and receiving relatively few people who seek asylum compared with many other countries. Punitive government policies and processes have further reinforced these representations, such that “crisis” and “illegal” can now be understood as both categories of analysis and practice. The repeated use of such categories may be helping to produce and reproduce prejudice and racism and obscure the needs and experiences of people seeking asylum.

AbstractCreated by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to apply the rules in Article 76 on the outer limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from States’ territorial sea baselines, the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf has on several occasions introduced new requirements for States not supported by Article 76, or impermissibly qualifying the rights Article 76 accords them. This article focuses on several such instances, one to the coastal State’s advantage (though temporally rather than spatially), another neutral (though requiring unnecessary work of States), but the remainder all tending to reduce the area of continental shelves. The net effect has been to deprive States of areas of legal continental shelf to which a reasonable interpretation of Article 76 entitles them, and in one case even of their right to have their submissions examined on their merits, even though, paradoxically, the well-meaning intention behind at least some of the Commission’s pronouncements was to avoid other controversies.
