Tantangan Kedaulatan Maritim Indonesia Di Laut Timor Dan Laut Arafura Pasca Kemerdekaan Timor Leste

Abstract

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic state in the world, therefore it becomes an important marine transportation and shipping lane, particularly in Asia Pasific. The status as an archipelagic state recognized in the UNCLOS 1982 requires that Indonesia establish Archipelagic Sea Lines. Indonesia has a maritime boundary with many of states, including Timor Sea and Arafura Sea. Post independence of Timor Leste, Indonesia faced the challenge of maritime security sovereignty in Timor Sea and Arafura Sea, by the form of traditional and non-traditional security challenge because there was no obvious maritime boundary within both sea.
