In the last two decades, there have been three major international adjudications on continental shelf boundaries between states. Three additional cases are now pending before international tribunals. Two concern continental shelf boundaries and the other, a single exclusive economic zone and continental shelf boundary. There is every reason to believe that more cases are on the way. During this period, many international agreements have been negotiated to settle similar international ocean boundary disputes. Nevertheless, the vast majority of such boundaries have yet to be resolved.

Abstract“Good fences make good neighbors.” But how long should one build those fences with its neighbor? Boundary delimitation has always been an eye-catching issue in international law and international relations. Sometimes it can take up for many years. States tend to be very cautious in delimiting its boundary because once it is agreed, it cannot be changed anymore. Indonesia-Malaysia maritime boundary is not an exception. These two relatively young nations have negotiated their maritime boundaries since the 1960's. More than fifty years later, maritime boundary segments still remain to be settled. But where does it stand now? This article will highlight a number of important issues of the Indonesian-Malaysian maritime boundaries delimitation, the latest development, and the way forward on where these two nations will proceed.

Tetapi berapa lama waktu yang diperlukan untuk menegosiasikan pagar tersebut? Delimitasi batas negara selalu menjadi isu hangat dalam hukum dan hubungan internasional. Proses ini dapat memakan waktu bertahun-tahun. Negara-negara cenderung untuk sangat berhati-hati dalam menegosiasikan batas, karena setelah perbatasan tersebut disepakati, maka batas tersebut tidak dapat diubah.Batas maritim Indonesia dan Malaysia tidak terkecuali. Kedua negara yang relatif masih muda ini telah menegosiasikan batas maritimnya sejak tahun 1960an. Lebih dari lima puluh tahun kemudian, segmen-segmen batas maritim antar kedua negara juga belum selesai dirundingkan. Setelah sekian lama berunding, bagaimana perkembangan proses penetapan batas maritim kedua negara? Artikel ini akan mengedepankan isu-isu penting terkait dengan delimitasi batas maritim Indonesia-Malaysia, perkembangan terakhir, dan langkah kedepan yang akan ditempuh oleh kedua negara.

New Perspective

Abstract This article seeks to contribute to the emerging literature concerning the application of belligerent occupation in maritime zones of the occupied State. It supports the approach that the law of occupation and the law of the sea apply simultaneously in case of occupation of coastal States, offering a new perspective on the jurisdiction of the occupying power to exploit marine resources in the occupied State’s continental shelf and exclusive economic zone. This perspective highlights some issues that have been ignored in the literature thus far to better understand the rights and obligations of the relevant Parties with respect to maritime zones of the occupied State.

The law of the sea governs the relations of States in respect of the uses of the seas. It allocates competences between, on the one hand, coastal States wishing to extend their jurisdictional reach as far as possible and the flag States, on the other, wishing to have the seas open for vessels to navigate and for other uses. The chapter discusses the laws applicable to each maritime zone; namely, internal waters, the territorial sea, the contiguous zone, the exclusive economic zone, the high seas, and the seabed. It also sets out the rules of maritime delimitation between States with opposite or adjacent coastlines.
