How Are The Facts And Regulations Of The Indonesian Territory Boundaries? Check Out The Explanation

YOGYAKARTA The boundary of state territory is a line that separates the sovereignty of a country from adjacent countries. This means that state boundaries that have been recognized must be obeyed by all countries, especially adjacent countries. However, state boundaries sometimes differ between facts and regulations. Then what are the facts and regulations on the boundaries of Indonesia's territory?

The fact that Indonesia's territory boundaries are interpreted as geographical conditions that become Indonesia's sovereign line. Indonesia's own territorial boundaries consist of Western, East, North, and South boundaries. The following is a fact that Indonesia's territorial boundaries are in accordance with its direction, reported by the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Teaching Book.

Indonesia's borders on the west side intersect with the Indian Ocean and Indian state waters. This means that Indonesia's neighbors to the west are India. However, the two countries are separated by very large territorial waters. On this side, there are two islands that are the outermost western limits between Indonesia and India, namely Round Island in Aceh and Nicobar Island in India.

Indonesia borders Papua New Guinea and the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The boundaries of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea have been agreed together to distinguish the territorial boundaries of the two countries, both from the land and sea sides.

On the east side, the territory of Indonesia bordering Papua New Guinea is Papua Province. The province borders the provinces belonging to Papua New Guinea, the westernmost, namely West Province (Fly) and West Sepik Province (Sandau).

The northern border for Indonesia on land intersects with the Malaysian state, which is north of Kalimantan Island. Meanwhile, the northern boundary of the sea is in conjunction with five countries. The following is the sea limit on the north side considering the importance of understanding the territorial sea boundaries of Indonesia's country.

Indonesia's southern limit is adjacent to the Timor Leste land area as well as the Australian waters and the Indian Ocean. The land area adjacent to Timor Leste is East Nusa Tenggara Province, precisely in Belu Regency.

In addition to geographical facts, it should also be noted that the regulation on the boundaries of the territory of the Indonesian state is regulated in Law no. 43 of 2008 concerning State Regions.
