The setting through 1958 Geneva Convention on the Law of the Sea benefit only for the developed countries that have the advanced technology. Although UNCLOS 1982 has been in force, but the status of Indonesian Act No. 1 of 1973 still impose as the implementation of the Geneva Conventions Of 1958. Several agreements with neighboring countries are being held between the years 1969- 19972, of course it is very detrimental to the Indonesian Government.
