Pemanfaatan Hukum Internasional oleh Pemerintah Denmark sebagai Upaya Perlindungan Tradisi Grindadrap di Kepulauan Faroe

Abstract

This study aims to explain the use of international law by Denmark to maintain the Grindadrap tradition in the Faroe Islands. Grindadrap itself is a pilot whaling tradition held annually by indigenous peoples in the Faroe Islands since 1458. The Grindadrap tradition began to be exposed in the 1980s when a number of environmental organizations began to protest against the practice of whaling through attempts to sabotage and boycott its products. products from the Faroe Islands and Denmark. Even though the Grindadrap tradition has received much criticism from the international community, the Danish government as the parent country of the Faroe Islands is still trying to maintain this tradition. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with literature study as a data collection technique. By using international legal politics as a conceptual framework, this study founds that Denmark's efforts to maintain the Grindadrap tradition in the Faroe Islands were carried out by ratifying the UNDRIP and ICESCR
