Strengthening the regional diplomacy through the amendment of continental shelf law number 1 of 1973
International law has recognized the concept of an archipelagic state based on the provisions of Part IV of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS, 1982) which was later ratified by Indonesia through Law Number 17 of 1985 concerning Ratification of the UNCLOS. Thus, the sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia over water space and all natural resources found on the surface of the sea and the air above it, in the water column as well as on the seabed and subsoil thereof have been recognized by international law.
However, at the national level, changes in the material of legislation in the maritime sector are also needed to comply with new developments introduced by the UNCLOS. One of the laws in the maritime sector that needs to be adjusted to the new provisions in the UNCLOS is Law Number 1 of 1973 concerning the Indonesian Continental Shelf (UU Landas Kontinen Indonesia).
Currently the revision of the UU Landas Kontinen Indonesia has entered the discussion phase II, but in its preparation, it is necessary to continue to be escorted by the relevant Ministries/Agencies (i.e the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). This paper will examine the amended law and substantial inputs from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in accordance with its main duties related to developments and practices also to ensure compliance with international law
