Abstract

A notion to integrate all areas in Indonesian territory, which consisted of islands and waters (seas), in the midst of domestic upheavals and foreign interventions, particularly in relation to the West Irian (West Guinea) dispute, motivated the government to make a declaration known as the Djuanda Declaration on December 13, 1957. This declaration had a major significance, as a foundation for territorial integration in the security context, and a basis for national development towards achieving public welfare. This unilateral declaration implicated a complex and complicated diplomacy in international forums as it touched the interests of so many countries that were at the time developing their maritime power. Even today, Indonesia’s struggle in the maritime sector is not over yet and is still relevant as well as significant to its progress and strategic role in the international arena. Also, this event can be categorized as a modern reform to global maritime rules that brings a great impact to international maritime borders and interactions. The courageous initiative was a step ahead beyond the ages. This work based on the historical methodology that dealt with documents to be compiled, criticized, analyzed and interpreted before arriving at the meaningful findings and conclusions.
