Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 4
Abstract
Sea Security Agency (BAKAMLA) has been given some mandates by Article 59 Verse (3) Law No 32/2014 on Maritime Affair. These mandates involve conducting immediate pursuit, stopping, checking, capturing, making into delivery and handing over the suspected vessel to the in-charge institution to be prosecuted by the law as consistent with Article 63 Verse (1) Law No 32/2014 on Maritime Affair. This research is aimed to understand and analyze the success rate of policies designed to control, supervise, and protect maritime security; to investigate problem constraining the implementation of regulation; and to understand security and defense strategies that shall be proper for Second Sea Channel of Indonesia Archipelago (ALKI II). Some results of this research can be explained as follows. The discretion given to Maritime Command for Eastern Fleet of Indonesia Republic (Koarmatim) is to conduct fostering on naval strengths available and to use them as needed. The fostering of naval strengths is administered by Naval Headquarter (MABESAL), whereas the discretion to use these strengths for supporting Koarmatim operation is directly held by the Commander of Indonesia National Force (TNI). Moreover, Second Sea Channel of Indonesia Archipelago (ALKI II) is a place where TNI organizes enforcements of sovereignty and law. Sovereignty enforcement concerns with territory while law enforcement is related with the activity of human being in the territory. The existence of Second Sea Channel of Indonesia Archipelago (ALKI II) emanates from UNCLOS 1982which gives a right for any states to have archiphelagic water. This right is given by a condition that the state has determined its sea channel and the state itself shall free and secure this sea channel from any threats. Koarmatim has a discretion to maintain the security of water region at Sea Channel of Indonesia Archipelago (ALKI) and to make sure that ALKI will facilitate transportation and liaison structures used by sea users based on Koarmatim’s terms. Pacification of water region at ALKI is done through the operationals related with sovereignty and law enforcements. Some factors are constraining Koarmatim from using its discretion for pacification. Patrol elements such as patrol boat, scout plane, and medium-haul intelmar, are not supportive due to few numbers of them. Logistic for these elements is not always available at the front naval base. The infrastructures of communication and information system that administers sea-based security data are not yet integrated.There is yet no priority given to the capacity building for human resource to support law enforcement activity on the sea. Koarmatim still does routine operations to deter threats and disturbances, and also to provide the feel of comfortfor any activities passing through Indonesian waters despite very rare violation against the law at Second Sea Channel of Indonesia Archipelago (ALKI II). Strategies developed by Koarmatim to utilize its capacities and strengths are still depending on situation of threats happening. The mitigation of threats can be done either with Warfare Military Operation or Non-Warfare Military Operation. Overall, strategies used to carry out both kinds of operation include: modernizing the weaponry system; increasing the number of personnel that must be deployed to use weaponry system; reinforcing the existing naval fleet by making a procurement of new war ships such as KRI RE.Marthadinataand KRI I GustiNgurahRai; providing ladders of education and career for military members; and facilitating the transfer of submarine technology during the making of submarines in South Korea’s dockyard.
