Border Management Reform in Transition Democracies
Border Management Reform in Transition Democracies Editors Aditya Batara G Beni Sukadis Contributors Pierre Aepli Colonel Rudito A.A. Banyu Perwita, PhD Zoltán Nagy Lieutenant-Colonel János Hegedűs First Edition, June 2007 Layout Front Cover Lebanese-Israeli Borders Downloaded from: www.michaelcotten.com Printed by Copyright DCAF & LESPERSSI, 2007 The Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces FOREWORD Suripto, SH Vice Chairman of 3rd Commission, Indonesian House of Representatives And Chariman of Lesperssi Founder Board Border issues have been one of the largest areas of concern for Indonesia. Since becoming a sovereign state 61 years ago, Indonesia is still facing a series of territorial border problems. Up until today, Indonesia has reached agreements with its neighbouring countries related to demarcation and state border delineation. However, the lack of an unequivocal authority for border management has left serious implications for the state’s sovereignty and its citizen’s security. The Indonesian border of today, is still having to deal with border crime, which includes the violation of the territorial border, smuggling and terrorist infiltration, illegal fishing, illegal logging and Human Rights violations. These kinds of violations have also made a serious impact on the state’s sovereignty and citizen’s security. As of today, Indonesia still has an ‘un-settled’ sea territory, with regard to the rights of sovereignty (Additional Zone, Economic Exclusive Zone, and continent plate). This frequently provokes conflict between the authorised sea-territory officer on patrol and foreign ships or fishermen from neighbouring countries. One of the principal border problems is the Sipadan-Ligitan dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia, which started in 1969. -

Paper No. 4003 Joint Authority Inspections in Dangerous Goods Law Enforcement in Sweden
Proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on the Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Materials PATRAM 2016 September 18-23, 2016, Kobe, Japan Paper No. 4003 Joint Authority Inspections in Dangerous Goods Law Enforcement in Sweden Author Co-Author Michael Wallin Helmuth Zika Abstract The authorities’ mandates for inspecting transport activities concerning dangerous goods are divided between several authorities in Sweden. This is due to the fact that the Act (2006:263) and Ordinance (2006:311) on Transport of Dangerous Goods state that the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and Swedish Transport Agency (TS) are transport authorities and that the Transport Agency, Police, Swedish Coast Guard (KBV), Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency are inspection authorities. The transport authorities, MSB and TS, issue the modal regulations; MSB is responsible for translating and putting ADR-S (road regulations) and RID-S (railway regulations) into force. The Swedish Transport Agency is responsible for putting the international IMDG-code and ICAO-TI into force. We do not use ADN in Sweden; the IMDG-code is applicable on inland waterways. The inspection authorities are: The Swedish Transport Agency: Its railway department performs inspections of rail transports of dangerous goods. The shipping department performs inspections of sea transports, with some help from the Coast Guard. The aviation department performs inspections of air transports of dangerous goods. The Swedish Police’ mandate is for road transport inspections. The Swedish Coast Guard has this role in harbours. The Coast Guard also assists the Transport Agency at sea upon request. SSM is responsible for inspecting all modes of transport involving radioactive materials and advice the other authorities on radioactive materials. -
