Abstract

Philosophically, international relations have become one of the objectives mandated in the opening of the fourth paragraph of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, namely “to participate in carrying out world order based on independence, eternal peace and social justice.“ This country aims to become the basis for the Indonesian state to conduct international relations based on independence, eternal peace, and social justice. These values of independence, eternal peace, and social justice are the political lines of the Indonesian state to conduct international relations with other countries or other subjects of international law. It means that international treaties as a medium for establishing international relations are built on the basis of a country's legal politics. The strategic position of international treaties aims to realize the legal politics of a country. Globalization has affected international relations that are increasingly intensive, complex, and fundamental. The existence of global awareness as a world community has influenced the legal politics of a country. Various international treaties regulating the liberal economic system have been implemented in economic globalization. On the other hand, the demands for human rights and democratization as a product of globalization have resulted in various international treaties being ratified by modern countries today. Various modern countries have harmonized national laws on international developments with various ratified international treaties. Globalization that is taking place in the current era has indicated a shift in the legal politics of a country, including the politics of international treaty law. The politics of international treaty law as part of the politics of foreign relations contains policy lines on foreign relations that embody the legal ideals of the Indonesian people. Political law that guides international treaties is a legal ideal as mandated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The type of research in this paper is normative legal research, which examines library materials or secondary data.
