- Abstract
Every sovereign statemust have territory. Either land, sea and air. Likewise with the country of Indonesia, which consists of 2/3 parts of its territory, the ocean. With the sovereign rights in the maritime area, Indonesia has the right to its jurisdiction in the maritime area by continuing to approve international maritime law or territories known as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982. The Natuna Islands in Indonesia, which have international legality, are sovereign rights Indonesia. However, this situation has changed due to the presence of foreign vessels, namely Chinese ships that have entered the area several times without permission from the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) area. This had a major impact on the dispute between Indonesia and China. In this case, China itself claims that the territory it enters is the territory of its country inherited and controlled by its ancestors. As such, they claim the right to their natural resources. In this case, China decides and follows UNCLOS 1982. The method used in this study is normative jurisdiction, which is considered the main rule in disputes between countries.
