Abstract

This research aims to find the concept of socio-economic justice in the management of fish resources on the high seas. All countries shall have the right to exercise the freedom of fishing on the high seas. So far, countries are not in liberty to compete to be able taking advantage of these rights. This causes fish resources on the high seas to become increasingly critical, causing harm to the environment and to countries holistically. Fish resources on the high seas have exorbitant economic value, while many developing countries, both coastal and landlocked state, have not been able to relish their rights. A fair arrangement is needed so that all countries have the opportunity to enjoy their rights and be responsible to their obligations. The research method used in this research was normative juridical method with the approach employed being philosophical approach. The research conclude that the aspect of economic and social justice is critical in the management of natural resources. Base theory of economic and social justice argues that in the regulation of natural resource management fairness is a rule that can accommodate and protect various differences and provide close attention to the weak. As a result of not fulfilling these principles, the management of fish resources on the high seas is unfair.
