Abstract

Hasil diplomasi antara Indonesia dan Timor Leste yang menyatakan bahwa lahan di titik un-surveyed segment merupakan wilayah milik Timor Leste, sebagaimana tertuang dalam Provisional Agreement tahun 2005, pada kenyataannya tidak pernah disosialisasikan kepada masyarakat Kecamatan Bikomi Nilulat. Hal ini kemudian berdampak pada adanya dualisme klaim masyarakat lintas negara. Masyarakat subdistrik Passabe di Timor Leste mengklaim lahan tersebut berdasarkan Provicional Agreement tahun 2005, sedangkan masyarakatKecamatan Bikomi Nilulat di Indonesia mengklaim lahan yang sama berdasarkan pada kesepakatan-kesepakatan adat masyarakat Kerajaan Bikomi dan Kerajaan Ambenu sebagai bagian dari anggota suku Atoni Meto. Dengan menggunakan perspektif konstruktivisme, penulis berpendapat bahwa perbatasan di titik unsurveyed segment telah ditetapkan berdasarkan kesepakatan-kesepakatan adat masyarakat Kerajaan Bikomi dengan Kerajaan Ambenu. Oleh karena itu, masyarakat kecamatan Bikomi Nilulat menghendaki adanya peninjauan kembali terhadap hasil Provisional Agreement tahun 2005 tersebut. The results of diplomacy between Indonesia and Timor Leste which stated that the land at the point of the un-surveyed segment was Timor Leste’s territory, as stated in the 2005 Provisional Agreement, had in fact never been socialized to the people of Bikomi Nilulat Subdistrict. This then has an impact on the dualism of cross-country community claims. The people of the Passabe sub-district in Timor Leste claimed the land based on the 2005 Provincial Agreement, while the people of the Bikomi Nilulat sub-district in Indonesia claimed the same land based on the customary agreements of the people of the Bikomi Kingdom and the Ambenu Kingdom as members ofthe Atoni Meto tribe. Using a constructivist perspective, the author argues that the border at the point of the un-surveyed segment has been determined based on the customary agreements of the people of the Bikomi Kingdom and the Ambenu Kingdom. Therefore, the people of the Bikomi Nilulat sub-district want a review of the results of the 2005 Provisional Agreement.
