Abstract

This study analyzes the legal problem regarding implementing the distinction principle related to drones as military weapons by the United States of America (USA) based on international humanitarian law. The method used in this research is normative legal research. The results show that implementing the distinction principle when the United States of America uses drones as military weapons is not correctly implemented, as international humanitarian law requires. It can be seen from the number of civilian casualties who fell during drone attacks and the destruction of civilian objects. So the USA has been violated the distinction principle of international humanitarian law, so legal liability must be pursued under the international justice system. Also, other states have to follow the principle when using to conform to international requirements, commit to solid criteria for disclosure, monitoring, and accountability, and release regular updates on drone strikes and casualties. Keywords: Distinction principle; International Humanitarian Law; Drones as military Weapon; United States of America

Abstract

Law Number 25 Year 2007 on Capital Investment facilitates services and/or licensing of Land Rights to Use for investment. Article 22(a) stipulated that land Rights to Use (HGB) can be granted up to 95 years for land cultivation rights, up to 160 years for building use rights, and up to 140 years for land Rights to Use. However, land Rights to Use regulated in Qanun Number 14 Year 2017 on Aceh's Assets Management is only five years subject to certain conditions and requirements for extension. It is clear that there two legislations available in Aceh in terms of facilitating land license for investment. Therefore, a research question raised is which law is applied by the Government of Aceh to speed the process of land license for the investor? This study uses normative legal research by relying on primary and secondary legal resources. Primary legal resources were collected by analyzing related legislations, while secondary legal resources were obtained by reviewing associated literature. The result shows that in facilitating land license for investors in Aceh, the Government of Aceh applies Qanun Number 14 Year 2017 on Aceh's Assets Management instead of Law Number 25 Year 2007 on Capital Investment. This Qanun stipulated that land license for investors is given for five years with specific requirements for extension. This short period for a land license causes legal uncertainty for investors and decreases their motivation to invest in Aceh Province. It is suggested that this Qanun should be amended to be in line with national legislation, namely law Number 25 Year 2007 that provides a longer period of land license for investors. Keywords: Legal certainty; Land license; Foreign Direct Investment.

Abstract

The UN General Assembly has adopted several resolutions in response to the Myanmar human rights situation, including the resolution A/RES/74/246 of 2019. One of the key players to implement the UNGAR is the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). However, the international legal standing of the NGOs has not yet been clearly established. Herein, Article 71 of the UN Charter has been acted as the basis of NGO operation. This research aims to examine the eligibility of Article 71 of the UN Charter to provide legal standing for NGOs operation and to investigate the contributions of NGOs to the implementation of UNGAR 74/246. The research employed normative-empirical method. The result showed that the article does not clarify international legal standing of NGOs operation. However, the NGOs has played its role as mandated by the UNGAR. It is recommended to implement the future agenda on NGOs legal standing in order to support their contribution.

Abstract

The responsibility of the receiving state in protecting the diplomatic premises has been regulated in the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. However, disturbances and destruction of diplomatic premises are still common in practice. One of them is the case of infiltration carried out by followers of al Shirazi against the Iranian embassy premise in London on Friday, March 9, 2018. The this paper indicates that the protection provided by the receiving state to the diplomatic representative premises in its country should not exceed the threat capacity or be less than the threat. In the case of lowering the flag of the Iranian embassy in London, this is a form of responsibility given by Britain as the recipient state, namely by arresting the intruders after the incident. However, the actions of the intruders constituted a violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention.

Abstract

This study aims to find out about the regulation and the use of chemical weapons as a state's self-defense and to find out and explain the reasons why some countries use chemical weapons to defend themselves from attacks by other countries. This research is normative legal research, from the results of the study it was found that Article 51 of the United Nations Charter which regulates self-defense does not specifically explain the use of permissible weapons in self-defense so in practice there are still many countries that use chemical weapons despite their use forbidden in war. The United Nations should make changes to the contents of the United Nations Charter, especially in Article 51 on Self-defense in order to add more detailed rules regarding anticipatory actions for Self-defense so that no country admits to carrying out armed attacks with the aim of self-defense for their respective interests and harming many parties.

Abstract

International law has a vital role in securing more excellent protection for refugee children. There are 82.4 million people fleeing war, violence, persecution, and human rights violations in 2020 globally, 42% of refugees are children under the age of 18. Therefore this study raised the question of what international conventions govern child refugees. This research uses normative research.The results found that the 1951 refugee convention and the 1967 protocol are international arrangements regulating refugee children. Simultaneously, the Convention on the right of Children (CRC) also offers more detailed and comprehensive legal guidelines on child care, including refugee children. Those two conventions have contributed to firm legal protection for child refugees, but there is also a weakness when a country only ratifies one of them. Thus, for legal certainty, a new legal instrument in the form of a convention on the rights of child refugees is needed to fulfill the rights of child refugees properly. Keywords: International protection, International refugee law, Child refugee.

Abstract

This study analyses how Indonesia enforces the law to protect the freedom of the press for foreign journalists and imposes strict visa regulations on them. The method used to conduct this research is the normative legal method. This study shows that Indonesia upholds human rights such as freedom of expression, but there are no specific legal rules to uphold such rights over foreign journalists. Rules are only available on the enactment of a journalistic visa. Therefore, it is recommended for Indonesia's Lawmakers to compose a new Law to uphold the rights and obligations of foreign journalists while they are in Indonesia and develop a monitoring body for foreign journalists so that Indonesia can ensure the protection of freedom of the press and the national security. Keywords: Foreign journalists; Freedom of Press; Journalistic Visa.
