Combating Smuggling in Persons: A Malaysia Experience
SHS Web of Conferences, 2015
Malaysia continues to face various challenges derived from the widespread of international migratory movement because of various economic reasons. Malaysia strategic geographical location, in the center of the South East Asian region made the country an attractive destination for human smuggling and trafficking in persons activities. Some of the smuggled persons may end up being trafficked victims base on the definition adopted by Malaysian laws on "trafficked victims". Malaysia Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 (Amendment 2010) affords continuous protection for "smuggled turn trafficked" victims. On the other hand, smuggling is an offence under the said law because it threatens not only the public safety but also the national security. For the same reason smuggling also should be seen as a threat to Malaysia security and justifies for stern consideration and actions. Constant reviews on the loopholes in the legal provisions and the available mechanism will minimize the possible injustice that may incur while enforcing the said Act. This paper will draw on the challenges faced by Malaysia government in combating and preventing smuggling activities, and by making these efforts will strengthen the country peace and security.

The rise of transnational crime cases in globalization is fatal if countries with maritime areas do not notice it. It is undoubtedly very influential with the threat to the security of the country's territory. Many transnational crime cases arise in the area between the Sulu Sea and the Sulawesi Sea belonging to Indonesia and the Philippines. The case came from these two countries and other countries both in the Region and those not included in the Southeast Asia Region and has confused the maritime area of the Sulu Sea with the Sulawesi Sea. Not only is the threat coming for the Philippines, but the one that has the most impact is the Indonesian defense area because of the emergence of maritime security threats. So, the concept used to find the many patterns of transnational crime cases has emerged using "maritime security" from Christian Bueger. He explained that the understanding of maritime security is disrupting in terms of defense and terms of economic, political...
Anthropological Theory, 2011
The constructed and contingent nature of state borders raises a host of ethical questions regarding their legitimacy and the moral standing of the consequences they engender. This ‘ethical dimension’ is frequently central to how people living in border regions regard both the border and those living on either side of it. Studying border practices as ethical action offers important insights into borderland subjectivities and the factors underpinning the success or failure of cross-border cooperation. This argument is advanced with reference to the Indonesia-Malaysia-Singapore Growth Triangle, a transnational arrangement which has been argued to herald the inception of the ‘borderless world’. Although in reality the region remains highly ‘bordered’, notions of ‘borderlessness’ endure as a normative ethical good for inhabitants of Indonesia’s Riau Archipelago. Their ethical stance subverts satisfying collaborations with Singaporeans in the fields of education and maritime security, and ironically works to propagate a sense of national cultural difference.

Weaknesses in the border control management can result in the escape of smugglers at the border gate. While some smugglers break through the sovereign borders with the help of organized smuggling syndicates, others randomly smuggle themselves without the help of intermediaries. This article aims to discuss the factors which lead to the smuggling of migrants, and limitations faced by the enforcement agency in safeguarding the Malaysian sovereign borders. This study focuses on the Malaysia-Thailand border which is controlled by the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP). Based on a series of interviews with relevant ministries, enforcement agencies and other stakeholders, this article found that factors causing migrant smuggling are multifaceted. These include the high demands for irregular migrant labourers, smuggling as a lucrative industry and the growing role of social networks in facilitating smuggling activities. The enforcement agencies also face operational limitations. These include, among others, limited manpower, assets and technology as well as logistical challenges. Based on the findings of this study, the implications is that any effort to strengthen border management must consider three aspects: (i) strengthening human resources; (ii) use appropriate equipment and technologies; and (iii) establish top-down policy that reflects the real needs for countering migrant smuggling.

The strategic geographical constellation on the one hand, can bring benefits to Indonesia, but on the other hand, this position is very vulnerable to threats, both military threats from foreign countries and non-military threats in the form of crimes or illegal activities. Meanwhile, accelerated globalization with technological advances, especially information technology, makes it seem as if there are no boundaries between countries. The rise of transnational crimes in Indonesia, of course, has implications for national defense. Therefore, a comprehensive and integrated effort is needed to minimize the occurrence of transnational crimes at Indonesia's maritime borders, especially in Tanjung Balai Asahan, Medan, North Sumatra Province. It is proven by the increasing trend in the number of transnational crime rates that continue to increase from year to year and it is made worse by the involvement of the community and unscrupulous security forces that choose shortcuts to seek prof...
Law Enforcement in The Handling of People Smuggling Crime in Indonesia
2020
People Smuggling is a rising phenomenon of Transnational Organized Crime. Indonesia has taken an important step to combat this phenomenon by ratifying the UN Protocol against Smuggling of Migrants which set of key obligations relating to People Smuggling. This normative legal research aims to identify and discuss the challenges to convert these obligations into practical outcomes. The research results show some practical challenges for the law enforcement agencies responsible for combating people smuggling which includes a number of issues that relate to the prosecutions of migrant smugglers and to the dismantling of smuggling networks. Therefore, it is necessary to have a model of law enforcement in handling a crime as complex as people smuggling by improving the legal substance, the legal structure as well as the community participation in regional perspectives.
Trials of People Smugglers in Indonesia: 2007-2012
This policy paper addresses the critical need for greater knowledge and understanding of how the contemporary Indonesian legal system is dealing with people smuggling. It primarily presents the findings of a survey of court cases from May 2011 to December 2012, in the first year and a half of the operation of Law 6/2011 on Immigration. The paper identifies patterns in court cases in terms of the location of people smuggling operations, profiles of the accused, the criminal charges laid against them, and the severity of penalties handed down by the courts. The paper argues that any efforts to increase the scope and depth of such cooperation between Australia and Indonesia must take into account the progress made by, as well as the challenges confronting, law enforcement agencies in prosecuting people smugglers in Indonesian courts.
The Practice Of People Smuggling In Indonesia: Draconian Laws For A Better Life
2018
The era of globalization and the mobility of goods and services across different countries have led to the emergence of transnational crimes, one of which is human smuggling.

This article is a conceptual article that uses qualitative methods with statutory approaches, conceptual approaches, and case approaches. Indonesia's national legal provisions related to the crime of people smuggling are contained in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 Year 2009 on the Ratification of Protocols against the Smuggling of Migrants through Land, Sea and A...
TRANSNATIONAL CRIMES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN MALACCA STRAIT: NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT ANALYSIS
This paper is an elaboration of the research results generated from three activities: a meta-analysis, field studies and reflexivity. The fieldwork took place in Melaka and Dumai. The network of human smuggling in the Malacca Strait takes three main forms: fraud and demand models and the other is necessity model. The first two models are most often used as a tool to investigate elements related to human trafficking, including human smuggling. There are important differences to human smuggling of the necessity model. In this area the root problem lies at and around the invisible actors, including the state and other violence actors which sometime the researcher tend to ignore. Human smuggling has affected state security, from territorial security until the state power and sovereignty including human security. Therefore, the most appropriate way to combat human smuggling is a defensive strategy in which elements of ethics and responsibility of governance integrated in it. With moral values included, hence the state could still possible serve as a basis for security policy, and as a force for improvements in global security governance
Smuggling and Trafficking of Illicit Goods by Sea
Global Challenges in Maritime Security
Transnational maritime crime is increasingly sophisticated, and it is expanding, both in terms of size and types of criminal activities…[t]hese crimes pose an immediate danger to people's lives and safety, they undermine human rights, hinder sustainable development and… threaten international peace and security"-Yuri Fedotov, former executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2019. The oceans provide a vast, uncontrolled arena to those engaged in illicit trade and transnational organised crime. Their activities include crimes which are maritime by nature, such as IUU fishing, as well as crimes which rely on the ocean for transport, such as drug-and wildlife trafficking. Organised criminal networks are moving these illicit commodities across the world's oceans using both commercial transport and vessels used exclusively for trafficking purposes. This chapter explores the nature of smuggling and trafficking by sea, the international legal frameworks applicable thereto and considers the case study of heroin trafficking in the Indian Ocean to illustrate how illicit trade and counteroperations work in practice.
