The case of Child Sex Tourism as a form of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children is no longer just a discussion topic between government and related institutions. It has affected human life in very significant way. It harms children, including their physical health, mental, soul and their future. Indonesia is a vulnerable country for this case because of the weak law and security enforcement. This case is a threat for human security especially in the tourism industry of Bali where the rights of children are being violated by the perpetrators. To apply the concept of human security means to give all attention to the interests of children in order to give protection and the world fit for children as the application to the principles of human security which are freedom from fear and freedom from want. It is why government and all civil society, private sector, the educated people, and all the related institutions have to cooperate in order to protect children from any kind of violation, and to protect children as the future of the nation. In the response to combat child sex tourism in Bali, the Local Government and the Parliament of Bali has issued a Regional Law No 6 year 2014 concern on Child Protection. The whole attention in this Regional Law is addressed to the protection for children to avoid any kind of violations, including child sex tourism in order to create peace and welfare for children.
