Every nation has natural resources that must be regulated by state law and used for community benefit. Indonesia, a major exporter of bauxite ore to Europe, plans to ban exports. Indonesia must prepare for a second EU nickel ore export lawsuit after the first from the nickel export ban. The study aims to determine whether Indonesia is guilty of issuing a policy to stop exports of bauxite ore. This research is a normative legal research uses the rule of law, law principles, and legal doctrines to solve legal issues. Books, journals, and the internet provided data for the research. Articles from previous bilateral agreements are also used. This research examines Monism and Dualism.The results of the study show that Indonesia is not entirely at fault, considering that Indonesia is a country that adheres to a dualism system in international law enforcement. However, Indonesia still needs to renegotiate the percentage of bauxite ore exports with the European Union, considering that Indonesia is already bound by the IEU-CEPA agreement. If Indonesia continues its plan to stop the total export of bauxite ore, then Indonesia can still be considered to have committed acts of default.

Abstrak Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji alasan dasar Pemerintah Indonesia melakukan penamaan Laut Zona Ekonomi Ekslusif di utara Natuna menjadi Laut Natuna Utara dimana posisinya bersinggungan dengan Laut China Selatan serta mempertimbangkan dampak yang akan terjadi setelah penamaan tersebut. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan Undang-Undang di mana berbagai literatur yang terkait sebagai data sekunder yang akan memperkuat argumentasi penelitian. Usulan toponimi ini mendapat penolakan dari China karena akan merugikan kawasan Laut China Selatan yang secara historis diakui oleh China melalui sembilan garis putus-putus padahal langkah pemerintah Indonesia adalah untuk memberikan nama laut di Utara Natuna menjadi Laut Natuna Utara. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa penamaan atau toponimi oleh Pemerintah Indonesia sudah mematuhi Hukum Internasional sebagai penegasan identitas kawasan laut Indonesia dalam hal ini UNCLOS 1982 sebagai Konstitusi Kelautan Dunia dan tidak memiliki dampak yang signifikan bagi Indonesia karena Pemerintah Indonesia sudah melangkah sesuai Pasal 55 UNCLOS dan S-23 International Hydrographic Organization (IHO).
