Abstract

The implementation of international trade in the forest products that related with sustainable production and consumption cycle process include the legal regime of international trade in natural resources, the State Government exporters and importers, as well as markets in importing countries. International trade law regime is still have a weak role in preventing the illegal logging trade, hence it is required a International Law drafting concepts which can avoid illegal actions by obligating the exporters or the exporter countries with certain obligations. These efforts require a reconceptualization the relationship between trade and environment, which until now are often placed in the same dichotomy.Key Word: Legal Frame, Prevention, Illegal Logging.

One of the WTO disputes that have recently been rife are disputes over technical barriers. Within the WTO itself, arrangements related to technical barriers are contained in the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement). Generally, disputes over technical barriers are associated with violations of the provisions of Articles 2.1 and 2.2 of the TBT. However, what constitutes a violation of the non-discrimination principle in Article 2.1 of the TBT? And what is the basis for the violation of the provisions of Article 2.2 TBT? This article will attempt to explore the elements of violations in Articles 2.1 and 2.2 of the TBT. The analysis will refer to previous disputes such as the DS381 (US-Tuna II Case), DS384 (US-COOL Case), and DS406 (US-Clove Cigarette Case). These disputes contain various landmark decisions that produce new precedents which are then later to be used as a reference on future technical barriers dispute. This article attempts to describe the interpretation and analysis of the panel and the appellate body in analyzing the elements of violations of the provisions of Articles 2.1 and 2.2 of the TBT.

This article discusses how the dialectic of emergency of state with the principle of legal objectives against the stipulation of Government Regulation instead of Law (PERPPU) Number 2 of 2022 on Job Creation into Law Number 6 of 2023. The research method uses a normative legal research model. The results showed that forming regulations on job creation in Indonesia is a dynamic aspect of policy formulation for the community, either pro or con. The state’s emergency is interpreted subjectively, where the President has the authority to issue PERPPU if the country is in a dangerous situation to prevent a legal vacuum. The lawful purpose of the stipulation does not only stop at the aspect of legal certainty but needs to pay attention to the principles of justice and expediency as the purpose of the nation and state.

The enactment of Act No. 23 Year 2014 on Regional Government revised the Article 18 paragraph (1) of Act No. 32 of 2004 and caused the authority of local governments in the exploration and exploitation of resources in the sea area not applicable anymore. The impact of this change is the difficulty of local authorities to ensure the welfare and/or the prosperity of communities in the coastal areas that lead to injustice in the realization of people's constitutional rights. Legal issues discussed in this paper are the principle of distributive justice on the management of fishery resources in the autonomous region and the application of the principle of distributive justice on fisheries management in the autonomous region. The principle of distributive justice in an effort to fisheries management is based on several principles: the principle of utility, justice, solidarity, equity and sustainable development. Distributive justice serves as the basis of government policies to the people. The studies of state policy on regional autonomy could delegate that policy through local governments. This should be an opportunity for the region to manage natural resources in order to accelerate the achievement of well-being, especially in the regions.

This paper considers the scale and underlying causes of recent high rates of deforestation in Indonesia. Its extent during 1997-98 is analysed using a materials balance model, the results of which demonstrate the seriousness of the problem at a time when the Indonesian economy was suffering the effects of the Asian financial crisis. The behaviour of the principal agents, illegal loggers, is discussed in the context of market and government failures and rent-seeking or corruption. A culture of corruption originated at the top of government during the tenure of ex- President Suharto, leading to market and government failures in the forestry sector, thus resulting in the creation of high levels of rent. A culture of corruption ensures that policy failures cannot be reversed and may lead to further intervention to benefit the status quo. Rent-seeking behaviour then spread to all levels of government, via a lack of good example at the top, leading to the creation of illegal logging networks. Since rent from illegal logging is higher than that for legal logging, there is an incentive for agents to ignore costs associated with sustainable forest management. Illegal logging, and hence inefficient resource use, is further encouraged by institutional failures such as weak enforcement and monitoring capacity, as well as policy failures at the international level too. Consequently, Indonesia’s forests have been intensively deforested for perhaps as long as 30 years, with little or no attention given to sustainable forest management.
