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.

A Practitioner’s Perspective’, Kluwer Mediation Blog, October 16 2019, http://mediationblog.kluwerarbitration.com/2019/10/16/is-investor-state-mediation-an-emerging-practice-a-pr actitioners-perspective/ I have recently been approached to enrol myself in an investor-state mediation training programme and also to speak at one of the sessions. That triggers off my deeper thoughts on the topic of investor-state mediation and related issues. This blog is an attempt to share my thoughts so that fellow mediation practitioners may consider whether or not investor-state mediation is an area on which they should embark. It is also my hope that my sharing below will also make readers become more aware of the practice of investor-state mediation. While there may not be a universally acceptable definition, investor-state mediation entails the resolution of investment disputes through the process of mediation between one party (or more than one party) being private, and the other party being a sovereign state. Investor-state mediation often includes but is not limited to the following public law dimensions: Changes in investment incentive measures; Termination or interference of a contract by the state; Revocation of licences or permits; and Unexpected tariffs or taxation. Investor-state mediation also involves international investment law issues such as, Expropriation; Alleged breach of the “fair and equitable” provision in the contract between the investor and the state; and Interpretation of investment treaties.

    IDE Asian Law Series No. 1 Proceedings of the Roundtable Meeting Law, Development and Socio-Economic Changes in Asia 20-21 November 2000 Manila INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPING ECONOMIES (IDE-JETRO) March 2001 JAPAN PREFACE With the evolution of the market-oriented economy as well as the increase in cross-border transactions, there is an urgent need to conduct research and comparisons of judicial systems and the role of law in development in Asian countries. The Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO) established two research committees in FY 2000: Committee on “Law and Development in Economic and Social Development” and Committee on “Judicial Systems in Asia.” The former has focused on the role of law in social and economic development and sought to establish a legal theoretical framework therefor. Studies conducted by member researchers have focused on the relationship between the law and marketization, development assistance, trade and investment liberalization, the environment, labor, and consumer affairs. The latter committee has conducted research on judicial systems and the ongoing reform process of these systems in Asian countries, with the aim of further analyzing their dispute resolution processes. In order to facilitate the committees’ activities, IDE has organized joint research projects with research institutions in seven Asian countries, namely, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. To encourage the sharing of the findings of respective researches on the role of law in development, legal systems and the reform process in Asian countries, and to promote research cooperation and scholarly exchanges among research counterparts, IDE sponsored a roundtable meeting entitled “Law, Development and Socio-Economic Change in Asia” in Manila on November 20-21, 2000.

The commonly shared question is the following: to what extent, if any, a global (or cosmopolitan) shift of international law can proceed absent a transnational democratic check? Some scholars are convinced that this is a real problem since that a ‘division of labour’ is to be recognized between national and regional/international legal levels, only the first needing a democratic legitimacy. The contributors to this volume, on the contrary tend to share the view that detaching the production of international law from constituent will, as well as from a democratic framework, can indeed undermine constitutional legitimacy.
