In April 2013 ago, the UN General Assembly finally approved the draft Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). However, such approval is not obtained unanimously because only 154 that provides support. Iran, North Korea and Syria rejected imported the manuscript. Meanwhile, 23 other countries imported abstained. These countries are Angola, Bahrain, Belarus, Bolivia, China, Cuba, Ecuador, Egypt, imported Fiji, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Laos, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Swaziland , and Yemen.
As already mentioned above, Indonesia is one country that took a position abstained imported in the general assembly. The reason given by the government for this position is Indonesia does not want any political conditionalities that restrict trade in weapons that could harm the interests of Indonesia.
The reason is understandable considering that Indonesia is currently undergoing a modernization program alutsistanya until, at least, 10 years into the future. In addition, Indonesia imported is also being run defense industry development programs to enhance the independence of defense.
International law has been set up that defense equipment should only be used on certain parties, namely the combatants (the principle of discrimination). Then, international law also states that the defense equipment should not be overused. Meaning of defense equipment should not be used to solve problems that do not require imported the use of a weapon to finish. The main basis of the implementation of these principles is to ensure the enactment of the principles of human rights.
Unfortunately, the principle of discrimination and proportionality in the above does not apply in Indonesia because many problems are often non-military solved using military approach. Owned weapons used outside should use that violates the principles of human rights. There are many domestic factors that could explain the causes of these problems, ranging from the political dynamics to the absence of a control mechanism that can prevent the use of weapons in outer appropriate.
With such domestic conditions, international regulations, such as the arms trade treaty, became an alternative instrument to control the use of weapons in Indonesia. By approving and ratifying international regulations governing the arms trade is expected to weapons that Indonesia imported can be used in line with the principles of discrimination and proportionality which in turn is expected to guarantee the rights of every person residing imported in the territory of Indonesia.
This is where the dilemma. On the one hand the government wants arms trade treaty that does not preclude the Indonesian imported defense modernization. While on the other hand, when the domestic situation is not able to control the use of weapons, international agreements are needed to prevent the state government or excessive use of weapons.
