Government Issues Latest Version of Draft Bill on Private International Law

Since 1980, the Indonesian Government has attempted to establish a legal framework capable of serving as the basis for private practices that involve foreign elements within Indonesia. Now, as global trade and cross-border activities continue to increase, the need for a proper regulatory framework that addresses Private International Law (“PIL”) is considered a crucial issue.[1] As such, the government has finally introduced the Draft Bill on Private International Law (“Draft Bill”), which is expected to be approved and promulgated this year.[2]
