Abstract

The ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) can be a forum to discuss efforts to tackle illegal fishing that occurs in ASEAN countries, including Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to examine how the role of Indonesia in ARF as a form of Indonesian criminal politics in tackling illegal fishing. The method used in this research is normative legal research using primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Methods of data collection are literature study and analyzed qualitatively. Illegal fishing can be done by playing an active role in cooperation between countries in the ASEAN region, such as the existence of ARF, so that it can suppress and even eradicate illegal fishing crimes / crimes that are often committed by fishing vessels from neighboring countries (ASEAN members), due to illegal crimes. Fishing is not only limited to fishing, but there are also other forms of crime such as arms trafficking, narcotics smuggling and human trafficking which can certainly threaten the stability and security of the Indonesian state.
