(4/6/2023) | has five specializations that can be chosen by students who are pursuing a . The five specializations are governmental, business, judicial, Sharia, and international law. Students can take these specializations when they are in the fifth semester.
International law is a specialization that is not in demand by UNAIR FH students, even though the subjects are fascinating to study. Many students think that specialization in international law involves complex subjects and hard-to-find literature sources. UNAIR Faculty of Law has facilitated students with various infrastructure facilities so that students can study well-taught subjects, including how to research domestic and foreign literature sources.
One interesting international law specialization course to study is the International Treaty Drafting Law (HPPI) course. Each specialization at FH UNAIR has its practicum courses. For example, government law has a Legislative Drafting course where students are asked to draw up regional regulations, business law with a Contract Law course where students are asked to draw up business contracts, and judicial law with the subject of Criminal and Civil Law Practicum where students are asked to compile court files. The HPPI course provides opportunities for students majoring in international law to draft international agreements in groups.
As seen in the atmosphere on Wednesday (31/5/2023) morning in Room 308 Building A FH UNAIR, seven students discussed drafting an international treaty. The seven students are Diana Wulan, Nisfa Salsa, Fitrillah, Angeline Irene, Kirani Bararah, Ladecia Alika, and Nadia Balqis. They sat in a circle around the table while having a discussion led by a discussion leader and a note-taker.
Each student acts as a representative from a country in the Asia Pacific region. They discussed and debated as if they were demonstrating the Model United Nations with a signboard bearing the name of the country being demonstrated. There are the Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Nauru, Australia, Japan, and Papua New Guinea countries. The agreement they compiled was “Multilateral Agreements Between Countries in the Asia Pacific Region Concerning Cooperation in Strengthening Regional Functions Due to Climate Change”.
. as a lecturer for the HPPI course, said that in making international agreements, diplomats must think about technical issues but not get too technical. Articles in international agreements that contain the distribution of experts should focus on discussing areas of expertise rather than numbers.
淭he number of residents must be compared with the number of experts. So what’s important is the proportion, the ratio, not the amount. International agreements should also include arrangements from the pre-event, implementation, to post-event stages, said the international law lecturer.
In addition, because the agreement includes countries in the Asia Pacific region, initially, the students agreed to bring dispute resolution to the Asia Pacific Forum. However, the Asia Pacific Forum did not issue a legally binding decision, so Jani suggested bringing the dispute resolution to the International Court of Justice, whose decision was legally binding.
淏ut it must be seen first whether all countries are subject to the International Court of Justice. Alternatively, add a paragraph in the agreement that the countries in this agreement must submit to the International Court of Justice,” she added.
