Perpindahan Penduduk Dari Negara Yang Berpotensi Kehilangan Wilayahnya Akibat Dari Perubahan Iklim Di Samudera Pasifik Dalam Perspektif Hukum Internasional
The current situation of climate change raises concerns for low-lying island nations located in the Pacific Ocean, where sea level rise threats these countries for losing their territories. This has led people to relocate, even crossing the international borders of their country to continue their lives, and in some literature, these individuals are known as environmental refugees.
This type of research is normative, utilizing literature review as the foundation for writing and examining the topics discussed in this thesis. The author decided to use a legal principles approach, critically analyzing the content of the Montevideo Convention 1933, the 1951 Refugee Convention, and other regional conventions concerning the sustainability and continuity of a country threatened by sea level rise, as well as people categorized under the term "environmental refugee."
The results of this study explain that the loss of elements such as territory and population, as the main outlined in the Montevideo Convention, causes a country to fail to remain a fully sovereign state and even lose its sovereignty. Furthermore, the term used for individuals who migrate due to climate change is not yet covered under binding international law, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol. However, regional conventions and declarations, as well as resolutions issued by the UN General Assembly, have expanded the meaning of the term "refugee." Nevertheless, regional conventions cannot fully protect environmental refugees who are outside the specified regional area. Therefore, in this study, Pacific Ocean nations affected by sea level rise as a result of climate change have undertaken several international practices to protect their sovereignty and population.
