Vol. 8 No. 2 (2022): STATELESSNESS DI PERBATASAN INDONESIA-FILIPINA DALAM MENDUKUNG STABILITAS PERTAHANAN NEGARA

Statelessness is not only an administrative problem between countries, but also a humanitarian issue. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existence of statelessness in the Indonesia-Philippines border which has implications for national defense besides humanitarian issues. This article concludes that social, economic and environmental characteristics of statelessness and the current regulations in Indonesia and Philippines make it difficult to completely solve the problem of statelessness. However, with the North Sulawesi Government's para-diplomacy strategy in empowering statelessness to support national defense, sustainable living would support the acceleration of statelessness resolution.
