DAMPAK PENERAPAN PRINSIP COMMON HERITAGE OF MANKIND DI KAWASAN DASAR LAUT DAN SAMUDERA YANG BERADA DI LUAR YURISDIKSI NASIONAL SERTA PEMANFAATAN SUMBER DAYA MINERAL DI KAWASAN TERSEBUT BERDASARKAN HUKUM

Abstrak

ABSTRAK

Dasar laut dan dasar samudera diketahui sebagai lokasi di mana banyak ditemukan sumber non-hayati berupa batu-batuan yang kaya akan kandungan logam dan mineral. Konvensi Hukum Laut 1982 mengatur dasar laut dan samudera yang berada di luar yurisdiksi nasional atau disebut sebagai Kawasan, serta pemanfaatan sumber daya non-hayati khususnya sumber daya mineral dengan menerapkan prinsip common heritage of mankind. Seluruh aktivitas yang berkaitan dengan eksplorasi dan eksploitasi di Kawasan diatur oleh International Seabed Authority (ISBA). ISBA memiliki kewenangan dalam menentukan Negara atau perusahaan mana yang akan melakukan penambangan, lokasi mana yang dapat dilakukan penambangan, jangka waktu serta biaya yang ditetapkan. Dalam tulisan ini akan ditelusuri bagaimana aspek hukum konsep benefit for mankind dan benefit sharing dalam penerapan prinsip common heritage of mankind terhadap Kawasan dan sumber daya mineral yang terkandung di dalamnya, dimulai sejak kemunculannya dan perkembangan yang menyertainya, kemudian bagaimana aspek-aspek lain yang mempengaruhi penerapan prinsip tersebut. Terakhir, akan dijelaskan mengenai dampak terhadap perlindungan lingkungan laut yang muncul akibat kegiatan eksplorasi dan eksploitasi terhadap sumber daya mineral. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan prinsip common heritage of mankind melahirkan konsep benefit for mankind dan benefit sharing dalam kegiatan eksplorasi dan eksploitasi sumber daya mineral di Kawasan. Konsep benefit for mankind berarti semua negara tanpa terkecuali memiliki hak yang sama untuk melakukan kegiatan di Kawasan, sementara benefit sharing adalah pembagian keuntungan dari Negara-negara penambang yang di distribusikan secara merata kepada negara dengan status least-developed atau negara tidak berpantai (land-locked states). Terdapat pengaturan secara zonasi dan pembedaan spesies dalam upaya melakukan tindakan konservasi, serta pengaturan khusus mengenai pencemaran lingkungan laut oleh aktivitas penambangan di Kawasan berdasarkan KHL 1982, 1994 Agreement, The Mining Code (ISBA) maupun prinsip-prinsip yang berlaku berdasarkan hukum kebiasaan internasional.

ABSTRACT

Seabed and ocean floor known as the site where many non-biological sources found in the form of rocks rich in metals and minerals. Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 regulates the of oceans and seas which are beyond national jurisdiction or referred to as the Region, as well as the utilization of non-living resources, especially mineral resources by applying the principle of common heritage of mankind. All activities related to the exploration and exploitation in the area governed by the International Seabed Authority (ISBA). ISBA have the authority to determine the country or which company will do mine, which location do mining, as well as the time period a set fee. In this article will explore how the legal aspects of the concept of benefit for mankind and benefit sharing in the application of the principle of common heritage of mankind against the Region and mineral resources contained therein, starting from its origins and developments that accompany it, then what about the other aspects that affect the application of the principle. The last, in this article will explain the impact on the protection of the marine environment arising from the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources. The results showed that the application of the principle of common heritage of mankind gave birth to the concept of benefit for mankind and benefit sharing in the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in the Area. The concept of benefit for mankind means all countries without exception have the same rights to perform activities in the Region, while benefit sharing is the sharing of benefits from countries miners were distributed evenly to the state or the status of least-developed countries are not locked (land-locked states). There are zoning regulation and differentiation of species in an effort to make conservation measures, as well as special arrangements regarding pollution of the marine environment by mining activities in the area based KHL 1982, 1994 Agreement, The Mining Code (ISBA) and the principles that apply under customary international law.
