Mainstreaming Human Rights Under National And International Law: Legal And Epistemic Question, Damilola S. Olawuyi

Indonesia Law Review

Even though the concept of human rights mainstreaming is not new to public international law, it has recently gained increased recognition as a practical approach for recognizing the linkages between human rights and other social justice issues such as environmental protection. A plenitude of literature have been generated on the need to recognize and enforce human rights standards and norms in a wide range of issues including environment, health, gender, poverty, food, water and refugee protection to mention but a few. Despite the rapid ascendancy of the human rights mainstreaming concept, much attention have not been given to the scope …

Indonesia Law Review

This article discusses the national sovereignty and regionalism in the context of the membership of a state into regional economic organisations.

The Sinking Of Sovereignty And Sovereign Rights? Mitigating The Impacts Of Climate Change To Maritime Jurisdiction And A Proposal For Solutions, I Made Andi Arsana

Indonesia Law Review

While some still debate whether or not climate change is a reality, one of its impacts, sea level rise, is factual. The cause and the rate of sea level rise might have been inconclusive but its impacts have been clearly felt. Sea level rise can also change the legal status of insular features (small islands/rocks and low tide elevation) that will also affect their capacity in making maritime claim. For an archipelagic State like Indonesia, small outer islands/rocks or low-tide elevation are important for location of basepoints forming the entire system of archipelagic baselines. This paper investigates the impact of …


The Adequacy Of International Legal Obligations For Environmental Protection During Armed Conflict, Arie Afriansyah Apr 2013

The Adequacy Of International Legal Obligations For Environmental Protection During Armed Conflict, Arie Afriansyah

This article shows that despite prioritising human protection, international law provides a significant number of rules to protect the environment during armed conflicts. Contrary to claims that existing rules are insufficient, the law of war adequately safeguards the environment during armed conflicts by prohibiting certain military activities that may …
