This paper examines resource nationalism in the legal system of Indonesia under the interpretation of Articles 33(2), 33(3), and 18B(2) of the 1945 Constitution. It will describe the evolution of the meaning of resource nationalism since independence to the present day, in the context of foreign investment, to investigate the extent to which resource nationalism has benefited indigenous peoples. This paper argues that resource nationalism in the legal system of Indonesia has been driven by state-centric goals and has strayed far away from considerations of the benefits to the indigenous people (Masyarakat Hukum Adat/MHA), so as to dominantly benefit the elites of government and foreign investors. This paper will introduce a new conceptual framework in order to develop an effective argument about resource nationalism using International Human Rights Law.
Indonesia is a former Dutch colony which declared its independence on August 17, 1945. However, it was not internationally recognised until December 27, 1949, when
The crisis of Rohingya people has been accumulated both in global and national sphere. Particularly, in northern part of Indonesia (Aceh province), Rohingya people found floating under emergency situation since 2015. Fortunately, local people and local government helps them while the Indonesian government faces a legal constrains as Indonesia is not a party to the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol on the Status of Refugee. So there is no legal obligation to accept what has been called 'illegal migrants' under Indonesian's immigration law. However, the issuing of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) 125/2016 has flashed out a new hope for Indonesia to play a significant role in settling Rohingya people in Indonesia. Hence this paper examines the understanding and the extent to which the effectiveness of Perpres 125/2016 in dealing with refugees in Indonesia, especially with Rohingya people in Aceh province. Using doctrinal and field study approach, this paper found that the Perpres 125/2016 has been limited in terms of meaning and scope to cover the reality of Rohingya people in Aceh province. The meaning is mostly to cover emergency, political based refugees, handing over the responsibility from central into local government under immigration setting. Therefore this paper suggests some fundamental change of this Perpres 125/2016 to include preventive measures, resettlement and repatriation based on factual reality of Rohingya crisis which is remain uncertain in temporary places in Aceh province. The multi-stakeholders coordination should be taken into account, particularly, International organisation such as UNHCR representatives in Indonesia, government and nongovernment institutions, as well as local communities.
As Pakistan becomes industrialized, the development of human resources is essential to addressing emerging health problems. The Fogarty International Center (FIC)-funded University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)-Aga Khan University (AKU) ITREOH initiative has been instrumental in filling the gaps in environmental and occupational health (EOH) training and research. Because of travel impediments to Pakistan, a regional short-term training program was implemented in Nepal and Sri Lanka. Workshop participants were from Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh. The training programs enhanced north-to-south and south-to-south collaboration in research and training in South Asia. A major impact is the development of a certificate program in EOH at AKU. Research initiatives of regional and/or global concern are also under way in the other participating countries. The combination of face-to-face training with Web-based interaction for follow-up was optimal for short-term training.
