The idea of the Indonesian Autonomy of maritime shows that Indonesia is not yet self-sufficient in the maritime sector. This simple statement is a major issue that must be resolved. Indonesia has ratified the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) through Act No. 17 of 1985, but there has been no significant progress to outperform the competition with countries in the world. The concept of Sea Gate International (SGI) to implement the development and improvement of both quantity and quality is the main port to adjust international standards should be a realistic and optimistic step in order to realize the independence of maritime in Indonesia. Foreign ships will be more and more anchored in Indonesia and will improve the optimization of human resource development, science and technology as well as product quality and service the maritime sector. Narrates deeper, the existence of Indonesia as SGI will be one important factor to improve the position of Indonesia in world geoeconomic and geopolitical map. Policy Planning seriously need to be realized in the long term development plan, making clear the direction and the benchmark every year running

This article discusses the use of port state jurisdiction to impose information requirements on visiting foreign vessels, with reference to the maritime zone-based approach to jurisdiction taken in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other maritime Conventions. It argues that port states have extensive options for requesting information from vessels in port, even if that information relates to matters arising beyond the state’s maritime zones (as in the case of the European Union’s 2015 regime for monitoring vessel co2 emissions), without making any excessive claim to extra-territorial jurisdiction. After discussing the manner in which port states may choose to deploy these options in practice, the article addresses some broader trends connected with the increasing automation of shipping and the ever-wider availability of shipping-related information, and the impact these developments may have on international law and shipping regulation in the long term.

The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia is an archipelagic country with the largest number of islands in the world and has abundant wealth, including those contained in the outer islands. However, it turns out that the Indonesian government has not fully empowered and managed the outer islands optimally. This study aims to analyze the protection of Indonesia's outer islands based on the concept of an archipelago state.The results show that the existence of the outer islands in Indonesia has received international recognition based on the United Nations Convention on The Law of the Sea 1982 through the use of archipelago baseline. Protection of the outer islands is carried out in the form of state policies through statutory regulations and any management actions.

AbstractOn 12 July 2016, the Arbitral Tribunal formed under Annex VII of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea issued its decision on the proceeding brought by the Philippines against China relating to certain activities in the South China Sea. The Tribunal’s decision was hotly anticipated as it dealt with various important issues relating to law of the sea and the interpretation of the Convention. It dealt with issues including the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, the legal status of maritime features, historic rights, and duty to preserve the marine environment. Although it remains to be seen whether states will follow the Tribunal’s precedent, questions arose on whether such precedent can be applied to other unresolved issues in other parts of the world. This paper looks at the application of the precedent established by the South China Sea arbitration to the situation involving Dokdo between Korea and Japan.

Abstract The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea created the exclusive economic zone regime, which makes more than 90 per cent of the world’s commercial fish stocks under the national jurisdiction of coastal States. The biological characteristics of fish demonstrate that the long-term sustainability of fisheries can only be achieved through cooperation and coordination among States, especially for the conservation of transboundary fish stocks. However, the ocean may have more than 1,500 transboundary fish stocks, only a limited number are subjected to effective cooperative management. This article provides an overview of the international legal framework on transboundary fisheries and China’s practice on shared stocks and distant water fisheries, and argues that current bilateral fisheries agreements are not sufficient enough to manage transboundary fish stocks and China still has much to do on regulating distant water fisheries.

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.

Central America has been one of the pioneer areas for the United Nations Children's Fund assisted pro grams. When the United Nations Children's Fund, under a broadened mandate from the United Nations, shifted the emphasis of its aid from emergency to long term and from war-torn countries to those economically less developed, Cen tral American governments immediately requested its assist ance to strengthen and extend services to children and mothers. As one of the first areas in the world to aim at the eradication of malaria and to have engaged in an inten sive campaign against malnutrition on a regional basis, the Central American experiences in these fields have become known, watched, and studied by people from many countries. Against this background, international and bilateral organi zations are working together with governments as they broaden the scope and the extent of their programs. Ten years of co-operative action have highlighted the need for train ing of personnel, both professional and auxiliary. This period has also made clear the value of more integrated programs with wider collaboration both within the ministries of government and between the international organizations.

On April 28, 1983, the Soviet Union became the first maritime country of consequence and the largest sea power signatory to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to enact legislation implementing the provisions of that instrument regulating the innocent passage of foreign warships. The stature of the Soviet Union within the framework of the Convention and the policy changes embodied in the 1983 legislation confer a special importance on these new Rules, whose text and interpretation will become a standard emulated by other countries. The present article examines the text of the Rules against the background of previous Soviet legislation, the 1982 Convention and its negotiating history, and the application of the Rules.
