Draft Bill on International Treaties

OVERVIEW

As any other member of the international community, Indonesia’s international relations include  signing international treaties (“treaties”), dealing with international organizations, as well as fulfilling other international law obligations.

When it comes to international treaties, the Government of Indonesia (“Government”) consults Law No. 24 of 2000 on International Treaties (“Treaty Law”).[1] However, since the Treaty Law’s enactment, the 1945 Constitution (“Constitution”) underwent its Third and Fourth Amendments.[2] Consequently, Treaty Law no longer aligns with the Constitutional Amendments.
