Abstract

The shift of sea piracy trend in Southeast Asia, from primordial piracy to contemporary piracy, has happened for a few decades. To ensure the region remains invulnerable, ASEAN as regional institution adopts two international maritime norms into the region to develop the regional norms against sea piracy. Those norms are the UNCLOS 1982 and the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation 1988 and its Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Fixed Platforms Located on the Continental Shelf. This paper explores the process of external norms diffusions with the local extant norm using the norm diffusion theory and qualitative research method as the analytical framework. The research finds that ASEAN adopts the international norms with several adjustment especially on the notion of hot pursuit. Considering the sensitive nature of the issue, ASEAN accommodates hot pursuit through legal and law enforcement matter stated on the 2002 Work Plan to Implement ASEAN Plan of Action to Combat Transnational Crimes.

Bahasa Abstract

Perubahan tren perompakan di Asia Tenggara, dari tradisional ke kontemporer, telah berlangsung selama beberapa dekade. Untuk memastikan kamanan kawasan, ASEAN sebagai institusi regional mengadaptasi dua norma maritim internasional sebagai norma regional untuk menentang perompakan. Kedua norma ini adalah Konvensi Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa tentang Hukum Laut 1982 dan Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation 1988, berikut Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Fixed Platforms Located on the Continental Shelf. Artikel ini akan mengupas tentang difusi norma eksternal dengan norma lokal yang masih berlaku, menggunakan teori difusi norma dan metode penelitian kualitatif sebagai kerangka analisis. Dari penelitian ini, ditemukan fakta bahwa ASEAN mengadopsi norma internasional dengan beberapa penyesuaian, terutama dalam gagasan pengejaran langsung. Dengan pertimbangan isu terkait yang cukup sensitif, ASEAN mengakomodasi pengejaran langsung melalui legal and law enforcement, seperti yang tertuang pada Work Plan to Implement ASEAN Plan of Action to Combat Transnational Crimes di tahun 2002.
