- The government is currently preparing the Bill (“Bill”) on the Amendment to Law No. 24 of 2000 on International Agreements ("Law 24/2000"), which affirms that the House of Representatives ("DPR") will now have the authority to complete the ratification of International Agreements through the issuance of Laws.
- Law 24/2000 states that the ratification of international agreements by Indonesia may be performed by the president through the issuance of official Regulations of the President or by the DPR through the issuance of Laws. The DPR will then perform the ratification of international agreements in cases where said agreements will have a fundamental and widespread impact on the general public in terms of the state’s finances. Furthermore, ratifications that are completed by the DPR are also required in relation to international agreements that require amendments or the formulation of new Laws. However, it should be noted that DPR ratifications still require presidential approvals and are also subject to optional consulting processes with the Minister of Foreign Affairs or other relevant ministries.
- The Bill also clarifies that ratifications will only be performed in relation to international agreements that require mandatory ratifications prior to their enforcement. In essence, international agreements will remain in force and will remain binding on the relevant parties once the requirements of said agreements have been fulfilled. In such cases, agreements do not require any ratifications, while their provisions will remain in force and binding after the signing of agreements or exchanges of diplomatic notes.
