Common But Differentiated Responsibility

Abstract Efforts to prevent the growing concentration of GHGs that led to climate change began by the United Nations by establishing a regulation on the protection of the world climate system, first, the Convention on Climate Change is created in 1992. Secondly, Kyoto Protocol was established in 1997. Furthermore, at COP-21 resulted in Paris Agreement. These three arrangements make the Common but Differentiated Responsibility Principle as the basis for protecting the world climate system. This research is to review harmonization of international law on the Common but Differentiated Responsibility Principle in national law. This research uses normative law research. This research is a descriptive analysis with the secondary data obtained. All the data will be analysed qualitatively. Indonesia has implemented an international arrangement to address climate change caused by greenhouse gases into national law by ratifying the UNFCCC by Law Number 6 of 1994 about ratification of UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol by Act Number 17 of 2004 about ratification of Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC. Indonesia harmonized as a form of implementation of protocol kyoto contents through Law Number 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management. Keywords:   Common but Differentiated Responsibility Principle; Law Harmonization Abstrak Upaya untuk mencegah meningkatnya konsentrasi GRK, pertama, Konvensi Perubahan Iklim dibuat tahun 1992. Kedua, didirikan Protokol Kyoto tahun 1997. Selanjutnya, pada COP-21 menghasilkan Perjanjian Paris. Ketiga pengaturan ini menjadikan Prinsip Tanggung Jawab Bersama dengan Tingkat Berbeda-beda sebagai dasar untuk melindungi sistem iklim dunia. Penelitian ini untuk meninjau harmonisasi hukum internasional tentang Prinsip Tanggung Jawab Bersama dengan Tingkat Berbeda-beda dalam hukum nasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif. Penelitian ini merupakan analisis deskriptif dengan data sekunder yang diperoleh. Semua data akan dianalisis secara kualitatif. Indonesia telah menerapkan pengaturan internasional untuk mengatasi perubahan iklim yang disebabkan oleh gas rumah kaca ke dalam hukum nasional dengan meratifikasi UNFCCC dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 1994 tentang Pengesahan UNFCCC dan Protokol Kyoto oleh Undang-undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2004 tentang Pengesahan Protokol Kyoto Atas UNFCCC. Indonesia melakukan harmonisasi sebagai wujud implementasi isi Protokol Kyoto melalui Undang-undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009 tentang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup. Kata kunci:  Harmonisasi Hukum, Prinsip Tanggung Jawab Bersama dengan Tingkat yang Berbeda-Beda

The Law

International law cannot manufacture agreement where none exists. For this reason, international law is not well suited to the promotion of innovative solutions to international problems where the interests of States are radically divergent. ‘What international law does badly (or not at all)’ considers this in relation to climate change and to the protection of commercial interests in proprietary drugs. Also, international law cannot itself deliver international justice. While the law is an invaluable instrument for the implementation of policies that aim to make the world more just—the special preferential treatment given to developing States within the World Trade Organization, for example—it will not miraculously produce justice and fairness of its own force.

Abstract: When we talk about world peace and issues that are to be addressed then we are talking about all the big and small issues which are directly or even indirectly related to human rights, health, international law, justice, migration, oceans and seas, peace and security, population, refugees, water, gender equality, democracy, climate change, e.t.c. The Purpose of the study is that we have to understand the cause of armed conflicts. We have to develop the ways to prevent the war like situations, genocide, terrorism, e.t.c. Furthermore, we have to develop some systems and societies which can take care of all these. We have to educate ourselves and others to increase the awareness of mutual survival. We have to work on the elimination of all biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons in the world. Furthermore, we have to promote democracy with education because democracy without education is dangerous. The adverse effect of this can be remembered by how the dictatorship of Hitler came to an end in Germany.

Primary Focus

Most religions tell us that nature is the beautiful and perfect handiwork of God worthy of respect and protection. These principles should be integrated into international law if we are to address the current crisis facing humanity. Christopher Gregory Weeramantry discusses these ideas comprehensively in his book. The work received support from the World Future Council (WFC), an independent think-tank founded in 2007 in Hamburg, Germany, whose members are active in governmental bodies, civil society, business, science and the arts. The WFC’s primary focus has been on the issue of climate change by promoting laws such as the renewable energy Feed-in Tariff.

Institutional Process

Loss and damage from the impacts of climate change affect many countries and communities across the world. In 2013, the Warsaw Mechanism on Loss and Damage, created through the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (unfccc), established an institutional process to respond to such impacts. This paper aims to contribute to the growing literature on climate liability by outlining a normative framework based on international law that can be used as a guiding path for the mechanism. It is argued that addressing loss and damage in line with these core principles and international law is required to develop a robust and legitimate mechanism. This framework is then used to answer critical questions regarding an international loss and damage mechanism for climate change.

Governmentality Studies

Linked to the image of a wild and still-to-be-explored territory, as well as to images of the region as one of new economic opportunities, discourses on the Arctic also tie in with issues of climate change, cooperation and conflict, Arctic governance, international law and the situation and rights of indigenous people, as well as Great Power politics. Taken together, these aspects characterize a region whose formation is different from regionalization processes in other parts of the world. As the regional peculiarity of the Arctic is reflected by a variety and plurality of representations, discourses, perceptions and imaginaries, it can usefully be analyzed as a region of unfolding governmentality. The present article argues that the prospects for the Arctic are strongly intertwined with perceptions and depictions of it as an international region subject to emerging practices of governmentality. By drawing on both Foucault’s texts and governmentality studies in international relations (IR), we discuss how the Arctic is affected by governmental security rationalities, by specific logics of political economy and order-building, as well as becoming a subject for biopolitical rationalizations and imaginaries. The discourses and practices of governmentality that permeate the Arctic contribute to its spatial, figurative and political reframing and are aimed at making it a governable region that can be addressed by, and accessible for, ordering rationalities and measures.
