As an archipelagic country, Indonesia has a wealth of living and non-biological natural resources, especially in its exclusive economic zone, specifically in this zone, there are an abundant wealth of fishery resources, but the economy and welfare level of traditional Indonesian fishers are still below the poverty line, in addition to the management of exploration and exploitation of fishery resources, Indonesia faces various problems, one of which is a problem with legal provisions. Therefore, researchers will analyze legal problems in managing fishery resources in this study's exclusive Indonesian economic zone. To answer the questions in this study, the authors used normative juridical research methods, and the results of the analysis were described using qualitative methods. After reviewing the literature, the study results indicate that legal problems in the fisheries sector are due to overlapping regulations and conflicting regulations. For this reason, in this study, the authors suggest the need to revitalize the law in the fisheries sector by harmonizing the law.

The international community has succeeded in compiling a law of the sea to regulate all forms of use of the sea as well as the benefits of the natural resources contained therein as outlined in the form of an agreement between States as known as United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982. The sea is divided into several parts / zones, namely the territorial sea, internal waters, contiguous zones, archipelagic waters, the exclusive economic zone and the high seas. The exclusive economic zone is an area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, subject to the specific legal regime established in this Part, under which the rights and jurisdiction of the coastal State and the rights and freedoms of other States are governed by the relevant provisions of this Convention. In the exclusive economic zone, coastal countries have sovereign rights for exploration and exploitation purposes, conservation and management of natural resources, both living and non-living, from the waters above the seabed and from the seabed and the land below and with respect to other activities for the purposes of exploration and economic exploitation of the zone, such as energy production from water, currents and wind; jurisdiction as defined in the relevant provisions of this Convention with respect to the creation and use of artificial islands, installations and structures, marine scientific research and the protection and preservation of the marine environment. Other rights and obligations as defined in this Convention Key words: Exclusive Economic Zone, Sovereign Rights, Jurisdictional Obligations

Abstract The exclusive rights of the coastal state over the natural resources in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) coexist with the high seas freedoms of communication of other states. This particular coexistence of state competences is a distinguishing feature of the 200-mile zones. Articles 56(2) and 58(3) United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) require that coastal states have ‘due regard’ to the rights, freedoms and duties of other states in the zone, and vice versa. It is suggested that the two provisions are not ‘dormant’. State practice indicates the contrary, as well as future paths for clarification. The obligation to have ‘due regard’ constitutes a linchpin in the conceptual underpinnings of the EEZ, and requires an interpretation of the concrete provisions that are applicable, in keeping with the Convention’s nature as a strategic ‘package deal’ with a particular bearing on international peace and security.

Objective - This research was aimed at firstly, uncovering how people in Mount Merapi meet their daily needs without government aids and secondly, finding the solutions to narrow the gap between regulations and the implementation of the people's ECOSOC rights. Methodology/Technique - The research conducted in 2012 showed that based on local wisdom values, hundreds of households rejected the government's policy related to the relocation. The policy was issued by the government for disaster risk reduction. Their villages were categorized as disaster-prone areas and banned to be inhabited. Because of their refusal, as a consequence, they did not receive any government aids. Findings - On one hand, the government is constitutionally required to protect and fulfil its citizens' ECOSOC rights; but, on the other hand, the government may not provide aid due to the existence of regulation prohibiting people living in disaster-prone areas. As a result, people rely on social capital and local wisdom to fulfil their daily needs, and to narrow the gap, the government should implement the concept of living in harmony with disaster. Based on the discussion in the previous sections, it can be concluded as follows: First, regulation and its implementation, which were based on positivism doctrine, had led the government to not fulfilling the ECOSOC rights of the people who rejected to be relocated. Novelty - The research suggests strategies for improving ECOSOC rights Type of Paper: Review Keywords: Disaster; Government Policy; ECOSOC Rights; Mount Merapi. JEL Classification: Q51, Q54, Q58.

<p>This article aimed to investigate the philosophical aspect of fish exploitation in Exclusive Economic Zone (i..e, ZEE) to make Indonesia become the World’s Maritime Axis. The result found that the basic philosophy of fish exploitation in Indonesia’s ZEE was to fulfill people needs on food, especially fish resources. It is one of natural sources in Indonesia marine territory. Therefore, the jurisdiction needed to be well protected, preserved, and managed. In terms of making Indonesia become the world’s maritime axis, the fishery resources should be well and sustainably exploited for the sake of as much as people welfare and prosperity.</p>

The supporting idea of this topics relates to the term of exclusive economic zone which is defined as a territorial sea outside, coastal states that have sovereignty over all natural resources in them and have the right to the application of Coastal state jurisdiction. This zone is located at 200 miles from the base of the territorial sea. Indonesia requires the Blue Constitution or maritime constitution as a constitutional basis for the use of maritime territory in Indonesia. This is what is said to be horizontally integrated territory. There is also the condition of a country's territorial territory separated from other countries' territorial territories. The essence of the state is to control a territory and be recognized internationally. There is existing country if it occupies an area which is its right to the interests of social and geographical unity. The sea area of a country such as Indonesia contained in the provisions of the 1945 Constitution is referred as the blue constitution inside.
