Maritime Security from the Perspective of International Regulation and Enforcement in Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has its geographical location and abundant natural resources, earning it the title of an archipelagic and maritime nation. This has advantages for Indonesia as it can boost its economy, especially through exports. However, it also has negative consequences due to Indonesia's numerous maritime borders with other countries, affecting national maritime security. This position must be strongly addressed through strong security and defense mechanisms, where Indonesia's national law should not solely focus on land security but also maritime security. Moreover, there's a need for consistent regulations regarding authority in the maritime security sector. From this perspective, in terms of law enforcement for maritime security, it is important to establish a shared understanding of the legal system.
