The Role of the ILO in Resolving Violence Against Indonesian Crew on Fishing Vessels

In response to reports that seafarers on fishing boats in different parts of the world were being forced to work, the International Labor Organization (ILO) created and adopted ILO Convention No. 188 of 2007. It sets rules for dangerous work in the large fishing industry. It also covers the protection of crew on fishing vessels from exploitation and injury while doing work. Protection of crew on fishing vessels is essential due to acts of violence against Indonesian workers on fishing vessels owned by China and Taiwan that resulted in many Indonesian workers losing their lives. The purpose of the research is to find out the role of the ILO and the Government of Indonesia as the country of origin of crew fishing vessels in solving the problem of violence against crew fishing vessels. The study uses qualitative research methods by collecting information from relevant sources such as conventions, journals, legal texts, and other works related to the main research topic. While Indonesia has a law on the protection of migrant workers and has adopted the ILO Convention 111 concerning Discrimination in Respect of Employment and Occupation, neither are sufficient to address the issue. Thus, the role of the ILO is urgently needed to work hand-in-hand with all countries in the world to deal with this problem globally and encourage member states to ratify ILO Convention 188 especially Indonesia, since Indonesia is the biggest archipelagic country where most of the people are fishermen and crew on fishing vessels belonging to other countries

This study analyzes related to Islamic Financial Institutions (LKS). Which currently exists and is growing quite rapidly. There have been numerous variations of LKS throughout Indonesia, including Islamic institutions. LKS is a financial institution that operates following Sharia law. LKS, a financial institution with Sharia principles, was originally present as an option and a solution for Muslims who want to avoid the practice of conventional banks or financial institutions. LKS was originally offered as a sharia-compliant financial organization for Muslims who want to escape the practice of banks or traditional financial institutions that use the interest system, but they can also be a choice for non-Muslims. Therefore, there are problems why the application of Sharia principles by LKS is an urgent problem and what are the conditions for applying Sharia principles by LKS. The research method used is normative legal research with a case approach. The study results indicate that the LKS organizer is expected to have a vision in which the LKS remains in the principles of Sharia
