Abstract:
With the enforcement of UNCLOS 1982, Indonesia win its’ claim over
archipelagic state status and has earned itself a vast body of water as
its’ territorial extension. That also exposes Indonesia to the looming
maritime security threats that had long existed at sea such as piracy,
illegal fishing, and drugs trafficking. To maintain its security, Indonesia
as a sovereign entity, deploys several security agencies to keep the
threat at bay, one of said agency being Indonesia Maritime Security
Agency. Thus this thesis explores the major maritime security issues as
well as how Indonesia delegates its’ security agencies authority to
handle the issues. The main focus of this thesis is how BAKAMLA, as
one of the security agency, contributes towards managing Indonesia
maritime security in the context of eliminating the issues at hand.
