Indonesian Seas' Potentials

Indonesia has the second longest coastline in the world after Canada and its territorial waters extend over 5.8 million km square. These are assets that should make its maritime sector one of the biggest contributor to the nation's gross domestic product.

Unfortunately, that's not the case. Indonesian fishing industry pales in comparison to other regional countries. Despite its enormous natural resources, the country's fishing industry harvests only 4 million tons a year. According to Indonesian Department of Maritime and Fisheries, total maritime industries only contributing about US$ 3.2 billion a year.

Contrary with China, with only 8% of Indonesia's maritime territory, has far larger maritime sector. Indonesia's annual $ 1.8 billion worth of exports is a mere shadow of Thailand's haul of $ 4.2 billion from fisheries exports a year.

The silver lining in this gloomy state of affairs is, of course, the enormous potential for growth within the industry, potential that probably has no equal anywhere in the planet. Realizing that potential will not be simple. As with the agricultural sector, fisheries in Indonesia has been left behind; little development of human resources or technologies in fish hatcheries, fishing or processing.

It still needs many developments and supports in many areas to up lifting maritime industry. Many waters has not been harvested properly, mostly in east region of Indonesia where fishermen still using traditional tools. This region know for good habitat for fishes, shrimps and oysters. It will be sad for its citizens if this region not developed properly and will be wasted along the time.

In Search for a Good Lawyer

BRANCHES OF LAWYER

There are two main branches for lawyers, or also called attorneys: barristers and solicitors. Basically they have same educational background and same law firm. The difference is only in their actual field work.

Barristers are lawyer who attend at court to represent their clients. They prepare the defense of clients from providing legal advises, examination of evidences and witnesses until stand in front of judges and jurors. In some Anglo-Saxon countries they have to dress formally like wearing coat and white curly wig.

Barristers need to have good powers of persuasion, whether oral or written, and to be able to explain complex issues so that their clients, members of a jury or other non-specialists are able to follow the argument clearly.

Solicitors are lawyers who don't need to appear at court. They usually represent their clients in legal matters. Some instances like; when a company want to take over another company, contract signing, someone wants to buy a house, and when dealing with banks. Most of the work involve the provision of legal advice or services directly to customers.

While solicitors may not need to stand up in court and make a speech, they also must be able to explain complex issues with clarity and precision to their customers and make sure they are giving the best advice legally correct.

A solicitor can be a barrister and vise versa although there are capability differences. It's depend on the needs of the clients. Most lawyers in United State; California, Missouri, New York, San Fransisco, Las Vegas, are solicitors. It's common because most of legal issues don't need to be deal at court.

TYPES OF LAWYER

There are many areas of the law. Each area is very complex, and this is why there are many different types of lawyers. Many lawyers in choice of specialization in a particular area of law. Sometimes other lawyer chooses to exercise without specialization. Choice of lawyers to specialize in a particular area of law, in most cases, they want to be able to know everything about this area of law.

It is so difficult to list and describe whole various types of legal practice today. So many cases happen with their uniques; adoption, car accident, debt collection, insurance investigation, mortgage, endowment policy, job contract, disease, public law suit, and many more.

Suit it is suitable for large transactions often difficult to distinguish between types of laws can duplicate, or what legal rights in international law is considered here to compare some of the suits. Be aware that some of the descriptions given here May fit other titles, as it is often difficult to distinguish between the types of law. This is only a summary.

Comparative Law: This area of law is not only in one country. It needs a relationship between two or more nations with different laws. A lawyer who to operate in this type must have an educational background in more than one country and understands international policy. The comparative lawyer works with international relations in trade and commerce, travel, government business, and many other areas depending upon his knowledge and the needs employer.

Environmental Law: Environmental law requires a concern for the nation's resources, knowledge of where the resources are, what they are used for, how and why they may be endangered or exploited, and whose job it is to protect them. Lawyers can be on both sides, defender (usually company or government) and offender (usually public).

Jusuf Kalla: The Government Will Re-Examine Namru 2

Not many Indonesians knew that Namru 2 even exists until Indonesian Minister of Health DR. Dr. Siti Fadilah Supari Sp.JP(K) made sudden inspection to its laboratory center last week. Dr. Siti got a hold for few minutes outside until she was allowed to enter the laboratory.

Naval Medical Research Unit 2 (Namru 2) been in Indonesia for the first time in 1968 to give recommendations on handling pest epidemic in Central Java. Two years later, Indonesia asked Namru 2 for recommendations in handling malaria in Papua. This time, Namru 2 asked for Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to do the cooperation with Indonesia. Indonesia agreed and MoU signed for 35 years term and would be revised every 10 years. Due to that MoU, Namru 2 had license to do the medical research in Indonesia. That MoU gave extra privileges to Namru 2's staffs. 20 staffs got diplomatic immunity, customs free and residences.

The MoU ended in 2005. Indonesia through minister of health had given Naval 2 written decision in November 2005 that the MoU would not be extended. The minister thought the MoU only benefited Namru 2. Extra privileges, intransparency and many unpublished research documents while all specimens is from Indonesian territory are the reasons for the extinction of MoU.

Namru 2 was stalling. For the last 2 years, US Embassy has been actively lobbying Department of Health and Department of Foreign Affairs to extend its operation in Indonesia. The negotiation is still in progress. Namru 2 in Indonesia is the Namru 2 HQ for South East Asia Area since its former HQ in Philippine was closed in 1990.

Dr. Siti came to Namru 2's laboratory to redeclare that Namru 2 and all its research would be temporarily closed until new agreement reached. Some intelligent observers make opinions that with its extra privileges and intransparency, Namru 2 could be used as a cover to do intelligent operations. Why US Embassy so determine to protect its existence in Indonesia also being questioned.

Indonesian Vice President H.M. Jusuf Kalla, after Friday Pray in Makassar, told the journalists that the negotiation is in progress and the government will re-examine the existence of Namru 2 in Indonesia (source: gatra.com). He said that Indonesia is open to work together with any organization for good purposes in the right way. The deadlock is about the diplomatic status of its staffs. US wants 20 persons have diplomatic immunity while Indonesia only limits to 2 persons since the relation with Namru 2 is nothing to do with diplomatic but only a health research. Indonesia also insists that naval doctors from Indonesia allowed to do the supervision.

My opinion; I agree with vice president that any cooperation for good purposes is ok but it must be in the right way. I'm sure from all the facts that US had been using Namru 2 for intelligent operations but not to have much worry about that. CIA is not that good. There is no Ethan Hunt out there.
