| Summary: | International trade under WTO�s modality is a multidiciplinary course.
This matter is highly crucial for Indonesian interest as developing country.
Therefore, we extremely rely on international trade. Since the day one Indonesia
ratified WTO establishment, Indonesia had several lawsuit before WTO Dispute
Settlement Body (DSB-WTO) either as a plaintiff or a defendant. Thus, it is
indispensable for Indonesia to consduct research over international trade system
and to master it as a whole.
As an internee, as well as potential paralegal who is interested in legal
research, getting into UGM think tank research to assist and conduct research
and the like are overly interesting for me. Hopefully, it could be invaluable
experience for my future career in legal research. Additionally, there is an
opportunity pursuant to Rectoral Decree No.3/P/SK/HT/2013, it firmly stated that,
D3 is minimum requirement for researcher at UGM center studies institution.
The topic which Author arised is CPO as a major Indonesian export
commodity to all over the world , notably to European union (EU) , China and the
United States (USA), as we have comparative advantages compared to similar oil
product (Vegetable Oil). yet lately , there are concern among diverse states,
particularly USA aginst indonesian CPO and subsequently they banned it through
various issues ranging from healthy and even masquerating environmental issue
to justify its action. By Passing the regulations that prohibit importation, unless
the ones that have prescribed by WTO provisions previously, which led to the
technical barrier on exports of other countries. In this sense, it obviously violates
the fundamental WTO principles to get rid the technical barrier itself in
international trade. Hence, here the author is seeking to unveil it as my internship
output at the PSPD which had been studied previously by CWTS researchrers in
legal cluster as a real contribution to advocating Indonesian trading interests on
internasional level.
