399 International Court of Justice Case Between Indonesia And
International Court of Justice Case between Indonesia and Malaysia Concerning Sovereignty over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan Introduction On 2 November 1998 Indonesia and Malaysia jointly seised the International Court of Justice (ICJ) of their dispute concerning sovereignty over the islands of Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan in the Celebes Sea.' They did so by notifying the Court of a Special Agreement between the two states, signed in Kuala Lumpur on 31 May 1997 and which entered into force on 14 May 1998 upon the exchange of ratifying instruments. In the Special Agreement, the two parties request the Court "to determine on the basis of the treaties, agreements and other evidence furnished by [the two parties], whether sovereignty over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan belongs to the Republic of Indonesia or Malaysia". The parties expressed the wish to settle their dispute "in the spirit of friendly relations existing between [them] as enunciated in the 1976 Treaty of Amity and Co-operation in Southeast Asia" and declared in advance that they will "accept the Judgement of the Court given pursuant to [the] Special Agreement as final and binding upon them." On 10 November 1998 the ICJ made an Order' fixing the time limits for the respective initial pleadings in the case as follows: 2 November 1999 for the filing by each of the parties of a Memorial; and 2 March 2000 for the filing of the counter-memorials. By this order the Court also reserved subsequent procedure on this case for future decision. In fixing the time limits for the initial written pleadings, the Court took account and applied the wishes expressed by the two parties in Article 3, paragraph 2 of their Special Agreement wherein they provided that the written pleadings should consist of: 1 International Court of Justice, Press Communique 98/35, 2 November 1998.

Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

Choo Poh Leem1, Kenneth Kassem1,2,Monique Sumampouw1, 1WWF-Malaysia Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia 2Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, Kyoto University, Japan Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. Within the Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion (SSME), Semporna Priority Conservation Area (PCA) ranks among the highest marine biodiversity in the world. Within Semporna waters, there are several government bodies responsible for different islands. Tun Sakaran Marine Park was gazetted under the management of Sabah Parks in 2004. Sipadan Island’s water is under the protection of Majlis Keselamatan Negara (National Security Council). The Department of Fisheries Sabah is interested in Omadal Island for seaweed farming. Mabul Island receives the most attention due to its proximity to Sipadan, and is the base for most tourism operators. Mabul has 2,500 residents relying on fisheries, and more than 15 resorts and dive lodges on 26 hectares of land (Aw et al, 2006). Reef check survey, community-based seagrass survey, seawater quality monitoring and groundwater analysis have been conducted on Mabul over the past 2 years. The environmental condition of Mabul is currently threatened, to the point where it might become the source of pollution that will spread to other islands within the Semporna PCA. Collaborative environmental monitoring has been identified as a primary method to reverse human impacts, so collaborative efforts have been initiated on Mabul since April 2010.

Forest Reserves, Wildlife Reserves and Protected Areas 98 Foreword In the endeavour to prepare a Tree Flora for the botanically rich states of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo, one of the main concerns has also been to assemble an uptodate data base which incorporates information on species. It was at once realised that this opportunity comes handinhand with information from numerous specimens that will be made available by specialists involved in the project, making the data set as scientifically sound as can be. This gazetteer is one of those steps towards such a specialised data base, tabulating information that serves as a primordial vocabulary on localities within that data base. By itself, too, the gazetteer will be a handy reference to all who are concerned with the scientific and systematic management of natural resources and land use in Sabah, and in the development of geographical information systems.

PAPER to BE PRESENTED at 11Th Biennial Conference of the International Association for the Study of Common Property, Ubud Bali Indonesia, June 19-June 23, 2006
PAPER TO BE PRESENTED AT 11th Biennial Conference of the International Association for the Study of Common Property, Ubud Bali Indonesia, June 19-June 23, 2006 The Roles of Eco-entrepreneurs in Conserving Common Pool Resources -Wildlife and Natural Areas in Sipadan Island1 James M. Alin, Datuk Douglas Primus and Izyanti Awang Razli2 ABSTRACT With the Government’s decision to vacate the island, Sipadan is currently undergoing the process of being gazetted as a Marine Park and later to be listed as World Heritage Site under UNESCO Man and Bisphere Programme. Public debates before the decision was incomplete. The operators were portrayed in mass media as the bad guys who exploited and destroyed Sipadan’s common pool resource that is the pristine environment and its terrestrial-marine biodiversity. This oversimplified generalization underestimated one very important fact. The tour (diving) operators were also genuinely concern with what happened to the island. In fact, they had taken many drastic measures (past and present) for conservation. They have very strong incentive to do so- their business survival it at stake which is very much dependence on pristine nature and unique biodiversity of Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai. Examples of such eco-entrepreneurs are Datuk Douglas Primus, Datuk Clement Lee, Robert Loh, Ken 1 This paper is the revised version of James M. Alin, Izyanti Awang Razli,Merylyn Anak Buncha and Ho Chong Mun (2005). “Eco-entrepreneurs of Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai”, presented at the 4th Annual Seminar on Science and Technology, 2005, School of Science and Technology, University Malaysia Sabah, 12-13 September. 2 The first and third author is a lecturer at the School of Business & Economics, University Malaysia Sabah, Locked Bag 2073, 88999 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
