Pendahuluan Masalah perbatasan antarnegara, merupakan bagian krusial dari ketahanan negara. Oleh karena itu, setiap negara mempunyai kewenangan menentukan batas wilayah yuridiksinya masing-masing. Namun, karena batas luar wilayah negara senantiasa berbatasan dengan wilayah kedaulatan negara lain maka penetapan tersebut harus juga memperhatikan kewenangan otoritas negara lain melalui suatu kerjasa sama dan perjanjian bilateral. Misalnya, dalam bidang survei dan penentuan batas wilayah darat maupun wilayah laut (kepulauan) antara NKRI dengan negara lain, selama ini telah tertuang dalam bentuk MoU maupun perjanjian-perjanjian penetapan garis batas laut antaranegara.1 Terkait dengan itu, UUD NRI Tahun 1945 (setelah amandemen) khususnya Pasal 25A memerintahkan pembuatan UU kepada pemerintah untuk menentukan batas wilayah negara yang dapat dijadikan pedoman dalam mempertahankan kedaulatan NKRI, memperjuangkan kepentingan nasional, dan keselamatan bangsa, memperkuat potensi, memberdayakan dan mengembangkan sumber daya alam bagi kemakmuran seluruh bangsa Indonesia.2 Pemilihan bentuk Negara Indonesia sebagai negara kepulauan 1Moh. Mahfud MD, “Tata Kelola Perbatasan Negara Kita,” Makalah pada Seminar Forum Rektor Indonesia: Keunggulan, Kepeloporan, Kejuangan dan Pengabdian Perguruan Tinggi dalam Membangun Daya Saing dan Martabat Bangsa,” Auditorium Kahar Mudzakkir UII, Yogyakarta, 5 Agustus 2008, hlm.5 2ibid 1 tidak terlepas dari kenyataan bahwa Indonesia adalah negara kepulauan yang memiliki pulau lebih dari 17.500-an pulau. Mengenai jumlah pulau ini, Mochtar Kusumaatmaja dalam bukunya Hukum Laut Internasional menyatakan jumlah pulau-pulau Indonesia 13.000 pulau, Rokhman Dahuri dalam bukunya Keanekaragaman Hayati Laut Aset Pembangunan Berkelanjutan Indonesia menyatakan 17.000 dan Mukhtasor dalam bukunya Pencemaran Pesisir dan Laut menyatakan 17.500 pulau, sedangkan Melda Kamil dalam bukunya, Hukum Internasional Hukum yang Hidup, menuliskan 17.504 pulau.3 Namun berdasarkan penelitian terakhir tentang pemukhtahiran data terbaru total jumlah pulau dan yang dipertegas dalam penjelasan Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 1996 tentang Perairan Indonesia menjelaskan bahwa “dalam wilayah perairan Indonesia terdapat lebih kurang 17.508 pulau yang berada di bawah kedaulatan Negara Republik Indonesia”, sehingga di sini penulis menggunakan jumlah 17.508 pulau sebagai sebagai dasar dalam menyatakan jumlah seluruh pulau besar dan kecil yang ada di Indonesia. Dari 17.500-an pulau tersebut, luas daratan Indonesia mencapai 1,9 juta km2 dan luas perairan laut kurang lebih 7,9 juta km2 dengan panjang garis pantai mencapai 95.181 km. Sembilan puluh dua pulau kecil di antaranya adalah pulau-pulau kecil terluar.4 Dengan demikian, negara Republik Indonesia merupakan negara pantai (coastal state) yang komponen wilayah nasionalnya terdiri atas daratan, lautan (perairan), dan ruang udara (air space). Dipandang dari sifat alami, maka lingkungan laut Indonesia memperlihatkan sifat integral antara unsur laut (air) dan darat (tanah). Secara ekologis, hal ini merupakan dasar ilmiah dan alami pula bagi konsep Wawasan Nusantara sebagai perwujudan DUMMYkesatuan geografis, yang menjadi dasar kesatuan politis, ekonomi, budaya, pertahanan dan keamanan.5 Masalah penegasan batas wilayah di dalam sebuah UU menjadi semakin penting sejalan dengan terjadinya perubahan yang cepat di berbagai kawasan akibat pengaruh situasi global. Masalah batas wilayah negara bukan hanya menyangkut ancaman dari luar, tetapi juga terkait dengan masalah kedaulatan wilayah dan hak setiap warga negara untuk mengeksploitasi kekayaan alamnya. Karena sumber kekayaan yang makin terbatas sedangkan 3Mukhtasor, Pencemaran Pesisir dan Laut, Pradnya Paramita, Jakarta, 2007, hlm. 2. 4Syamsul Ma’arif, “Pengelolaan Pulau Terluar dalam Manajemen Pulau Terluar”, Makalah, Fakultas Geografi UGM, 2009, hlm.8. 5Mochtar Kusumaatmadja, Bunga Rampai Hukum Laut, Bina Cipta, Jakarta, 1978, hlm. 78. 2 Problematika Hukum Indonesia, Teori dan Praktik jumlah penduduk yang semakin besar, maka perbatasan wilayah menjadi sangat sensitif bagi timbulnya perselisihan (dispute) dan konflik.6 Terkait dengan penentuan perbatasan dalam perspektif hukum tata negara (HTN) dan hukum internsional memiliki perbedaan-perbedaan

Commentary JAVANESE CULTURE has permeated Indonesian politics throughout Indonesia’s short political history. Sukarno’s quest for national unity drew inspiration heavily from the Javanese figure Gadjah Mada who was determined to unite the archipelago under the control of the Majapahit Kingdom. Benedict Anderson, writing in 1998 about Sukarno’s successor, described him thus: “[W]hen speaking off the cuff, Suharto sees himself not as a modern president but as a Javanese king.” Former President Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Sukarnoputri, and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono were also drawn to the practice of mysticism in search of wangsit or inspiration before taking important political decisions. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is similarly influenced by Javanese political culture though in his own ways.

This article argues that judicial leadership is the main contributing factor explaining the emergence of judicial power in Indonesia. This article posits that the newly established Indonesian Constitutional Court needed a strong and skilled Chief Justice to build the institution because it had insufficient support from political actors. As the Court lacked a well- established tradition of judicial review, it needed a visionary leader who could maximize the structural advantage of the Court.

  • Making Decentralized Coastal Zone Management Work in Indonesia: Case Studies of Kabupaten Konawe and Kabupaten Pangkajene Dan Kepulauan
    MAKING DECENTRALIZED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT WORK IN INDONESIA: CASE STUDIES OF KABUPATEN KONAWE AND KABUPATEN PANGKAJENE DAN KEPULAUAN By Hendra Yusran Siry A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University. THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CANBERRA APRIL 2009 Declaration This thesis is my own original work. The interpretations and perceptions contained in this thesis are my constructions of the world as I see it. Apart from citations of works of other researchers, the content of this thesis is my own. Therefore, I take responsibility for the limitations of its content and errors within this thesis. Hendra Yusran Siry 28 April 2009 Abstract Coastal governance in Indonesia is entering a new phase with new administration mechanisms, following the changes of political, administrative and fiscal framework resulting from decentralisation policy. For the first time provincial and district governments have mandates, resources, and responsibilities to manage their coastal zones. To this point, only a few studies have been conducted that focus on the analysis of effective coastal zone management (CZM) at district level in Indonesia under the decentralisation setting This dissertation presents a study of decentralized CZM in eastern Indonesia based on case studies of two districts in Sulawesi Island, Kabupaten Konawe in Southeast Sulawesi and Kabupaten Pangkajene dan Kepulauan (Pangkep) in South Sulawesi. The dissertation focuses on these district local governments’ responses to decentralisation policy in managing their coastal zones. This new shift is very significant in the sector of marine and coastal governance in Indonesia. This research applied qualitative methods through in-depth and semi-structured interviews as well as field-site observations.

  • By Andreas Harsono* When Antasari Azhar, a Senior Government
    By Andreas Harsono* When Antasari Azhar, a senior government prosecutor, was applying to be one of five commissioners of Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK — Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi), he lobbied a number of politicians. In December 2007, Azhar finally won not only the seat, but he also secured the most votes in the House of Representatives to be the KPK chairman. His selection as chairman, however, raised some eyebrows. Azhar was an “old guard” prosecutor among Indonesia’s successful prosecutors, and was, for the most part, perceived as a corrupt person by the population. Activists said his selection might undermine the KPK’s credibility. When Azhar was the province’s chief prosecutor, he failed to implement jail sentences against 35 West Sumatra councilors whom the Supreme Court had found guilty of corruption charges. Azhar also was blamed for not imprisoning former President Soeharto’s son, Hutomo Mandala Putra, on time, allowing Putra to go into hiding. Azhar firmly denied the allegations. Interestingly, in the first year of his chairmanship, the KPK made some big-time arrests and convictions, including the Attorney General Office Senior Prosecutor Urip Tri Gunawan, politically connected businesswoman Artalyta Suryani, the former central banker Burhanuddin Abdullah and several lawmakers. The Most Popular Man in Indonesia Azhar soon gained wide publicity. He sang with Slank, one of Indonesia’s most popular rock bands. He traded jokes with comedian Thukul in a late-night television show. He dominated the KPK’s news conferences, winning the title of “anti-corruption tsar.” Jimly Asshiddiqie, then-chairman of the Constitutional Court–another powerful institution established after the fall of Soeharto in 1998–once introduced Azhar as “the most popular man” in Indonesia.

  • Two Decades of Reformasi: Indonesia and Its Illiberal Turn
    Two decades of reformasi: Indonesia and its illiberal turn Rachael Diprose, Dave McRae and Vedi Hadiz Author details: Dr Rachael Diprose University of Melbourne Parkville VIC 3010 Australia Dr Dave McRae University of Melbourne Parkville VIC 3010 Australia Professor Vedi Hadiz University of Melbourne Parkville VIC 3010 Australia 1 Two decades of reformasi: Indonesia and its illiberal turn Rachael Diprose, Dave McRae and Vedi Hadiz1 Abstract: Pressures for a particularist form of Indonesian democracy – illiberal in many of its characteristics – have strengthened rather than receded since reformasi. The exclusivist religious and nativist mobilisation that surrounded the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial elections was only one recent manifestation of this illiberal turn. This article surveys the impacts of this illiberal turn across diverse areas of policy making in Indonesia, including decentralisation, civil-military relations, economic and foreign policy, as well as in the approaches to recognising past abuses of human rights. We find clear variation in its impacts, produced by differing constellations of old and new forces in each sector, as well as the strategic politico-economic value at stake and the salience of each sector to coherently expressed public pressure for reform. In particular, where the state and the market has failed to address social injustices, more illiberal models of Indonesian politics have emerged, some under the guise of populist discourses that nonetheless continue to serve predatory elite interests and shift attention away from the inequalities in Indonesian society. Key words: Indonesia, democratisation, illiberalism, political reform, policy 1 This article and the others in this Special Issue have been compiled from the Conference on Two Decades of Reformasi: Reflections on Social and Political Change in Indonesia hosted by the Faculty of Arts, the School of Social and Political Sciences, and the Asia Institute at University of Melbourne, 3-4 November 2016.

  • Freedom in the World - Indonesia (2011)
    http://freedomhouse.org/inc/content/pubs/fiw/inc_country_detail.cfm?y... Print Freedom in the World - Indonesia (2011) Capital: Jakarta Political Rights Score: 2 * Civil Liberties Score: 3 * Population: 243,306,000 Status: Free Overview President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s parliamentary support weakened in 2010, with a majority voting in March that there were significant irregularities surrounding a controversial 2008 bank bailout. The subsequent resignation of Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, a target of the parliamentary inquiry, was an apparent attempt to avoid an impeachment effort against Vice President Boediono. Security forces in February raided a jihadi training camp in Aceh, and in March killed terrorism suspect Dulmatin, who was wanted for his alleged involvement in a 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 people. A case against two deputy chairmen of the country’s anticorruption commission, which had been dropped in 2009 after the exposure of an apparent conspiracy by police and prosecutors to undermine the commission, was revived during the year. However, the attorney general’s office announced its intention to legally drop the case for the “sake of public interest” in late October. Violence against the Ahmadiyya minority sect continued in 2010, and there were several attacks on Christian churches. Separately, a Malukan political activist died in jail, allegedly due to torture and denial of treatment. Indonesia declared independence from its Dutch colonial rulers in 1945, though the Netherlands did not recognize its sovereignty until 1949. The republic’s first president, Sukarno, assumed authoritarian powers in 1957. The army, led by General Suharto, crushed an apparent Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) coup attempt in 1965.

  • Legal Dilemmas in Releasing Indonesia's Political Prisoners
    Southeast Asia Research Centre (SEARC) Working Paper Series No. 194 Legal Dilemmas in Releasing Indonesia's Political Prisoners Daniel Pascoe Assistant Professor School of Law City University of Hong Kong LEGAL DILEMMAS IN RELEASING INDONESIA’S POLITICAL PRISONERS Daniel Pascoe1 Abstract In May 2015, in an effort to foster peace in the restive Papua and West Papua Provinces, Indonesian President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo granted clemency to five political prisoners, releasing them from sentences ranging from 20 years to life. The president also stated that there would be ‘a follow-up granting clemency or amnesty to other [political prisoners] in other regions’ (Jakarta Post, 10 May 2015). However, with up to 50 political prisoners still incarcerated in prisons around Indonesia (mostly Papuan and Moluccan separatists), Jokowi’s selective release policy faces several legal and political obstacles. This article outlines the various options open to Jokowi in facilitating future political prisoner releases (including amnesty, clemency, remissions and conditional release), the advantages and disadvantages of each, before suggesting an acceptable way forward for all parties. Keywords: amnesty, clemency, Indonesia, political prisoners, West Papua, Maluku, transitional justice, forgiveness I. Introduction On 9 May 2015, in an effort to foster peace in the restive Papua and West Papua Provinces, Indonesian President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo granted executive clemency to five political prisoners. 2 Apotnaholik Lokobal, Linus Hiluka and 1 Assistant Professor, School of Law, City University of Hong Kong.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Pemberian Grasi merupakan hak prerogatif Presiden kepada setiap warganya yang tersangkut kasus pidana, berupa pengampunan atau penghapusan pelaksanaan pidana itu sendiri dengan memperhatikan pertimbangan dari Mahkamah Agung. Dengan diberikannya grasi dari Presiden Joko Widodo kepada terpidana kasus pembunuhan Direktur Utama PT. Putra Rajawali Banjaran, Antasari Azhar, pada 23 Januari 2017 lalu, menyulut pemberitaan di media nasional mengenai grasi yang diberikan tersebut, baik di media cetak, elektronik atau online. Salah satunya adalah surat kabar Harian Kompas. Perjuangan Antasari dalam memperoleh hak pembebasannya tidak hanya ia lakukan sekali, terbukti dengan permohonan banding yang ia ajukan pada 17 Juni 2010 ditolak oleh Mahkamah Agung. Tak hanya sampai disitu, pada 06 September 2011, ia mengajukan Peninjauan Kembali (PK), dan Mahkamah Agung kembali menolak permohonan tersebut, pada 13 Februari 2012. Tetapi, usaha Antasari menuai hasil setelah permohonan grasi yang ia ajukan pada 09 Mei 2015 lalu, dikabulkan oleh Presiden Joko Widodo pada 23 Januari 2017. 2 Antasari merupakan mantan pejabat publik yang kontroversial, khususnya dalam hal pemberantasan korupsi. Banyak kasus korupsi yang ia bongkar dimana banyak melibatkan para petinggi di pemerintahan dari daerah hingga nasional. Salah satu kasus kontroversial yang ia berani ungkap adalah pada tahun 2007 ia mengusut adanya dana aliran sebesar Rp. 100 Miliar dari Yayasan Pengembangan Perbankan Indonesia, dimana dalam kasus tersebut melibatkan mantan Deputi Gubernur Bank Indonesia (BI), Aulia Pohan, Aulia Pohan sendiri merupakan besan Presiden RI ke-6, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Tak lama setelah ditetapkannya Aulia Pohan sebagai tersangka kasus aliran dana YPPI, pada 29 Oktober 2008. Publik dibuat kaget, dengan munculnya pemberitaan bahwa Antasari ditetapkan menjadi tersangka pembunuhan Direktur PT.
