JAKARTA INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE DIALOGUE 2014 (JIDD 2014) Jakarta Convention Center, March 2014 Following the successful of the carrying out of last year's JIDD (JIDD2013), the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia supported by Indonesian Defense University (IDU) will organize the Jakarta International Defense Dialogue 2014 (JIDD2014) on March 2014.  Variably to the previous JIDD, the JIDD2014 will bring one of the world's hottest issue, namely Maritime Securities with a primary aim to build maritime collaboration for securiy and stability. As known, maritime security is an important issue that needs a cooperation amongst agencies, regional states, and the world because of the difficulty to regulate the ships movement on the open sea.  Not one state can handle maritime security issues alone.  Therefore, it is required a comprehensive cooperation in order to enhance the maritime capabilities in facing the challenges to secure the maritime domain.   A security cooperation in maritime domain is not only for guarding the national interest but also for making the world more secure from anything harmful that comes from maritime domain.  Rooted from this sincere notion, the topics will be presented and discussed in the JIDD2014 are as follow. The development of Indo-Pacific geopolitical concept and its strategic implications.  This topic mainly speaks about the concept regarding Indo-Pacific geopolitical related to maritime securities in the growing and challenging world.  This topic consists of three main issues, namely: The new geopolitical concept of Indo-Pacific. New approach to defining the geopolitical concept of Indo-Pacific. Strategic implications of the new Indo-Pacific geopolitical concept. Contested waters and efforts to address them.  This topic is always a hot issue from time to time especially to the claimant states and therefore, it will become an interest topic to be discussed.  This topic also consists of three issues as follow. Maritime territorial disputes, including prominent cases like the South China Sea. Legalities of maritime territory, sovereignty, and the sea. "Zones of cooperation" and maritime diplomacy. International cooperation in facing the non-traditional threats to maritime security.  As seen on the infomation media, non-traditional threats become vulnerable as the consequences of world dynamics.  This topic is a very important discussion to the states that have sea borders.  The issues raised in this topic include: Case studies and lessons from recent trends of non-traditional threats to maritime security, including the issues of refugees, piracy, money laundering, and trafficking. International cooperation in maritime border patrol on preventing non-traditional threats to maritime security while complying with international law. International cooperation in increasing maritime capabilities to counter non-traditional threats. Maritime forces modernization and stability.  The main problem in securing the maritime domain is a strong maritime force faced to the maritime jurisdiction that has to be covered and the development as well as the use of new technologies.  This topic will be an interesting topic for the states that use maritime domain as the source for the sustainable living of their state as well as their people.  This topic covers issues as follow. Current military balance on maritime forces among countries. New technologies that might be useful for maritime security and stability. Operational implications of the use of new technologies for modernization of maritime forces. UNCLOS and evolving maritime geo-strategy.  Maritime, for some states, has a great impact to not only their people but also the strength factor to their economy, and this always raises uncomfortable situations especially if they have a very good diplomatic relationship.  One of the solution to situation like this is to develop a robust regulation backed up by a strong international law.  It is foreseen that the issues raised in this topic will give rise to a new insight of international maritime law to enrich the content of the UNCLOS for the better world.  The issues raised are as follow. The current maritime geo-strategy across security, trade and economy, migration, natural resource management and competition, and international law. Strategic implications of trends in maritime geo-strategy to the UNCLOS. The JIDD2014 invites Head of States/Head of Government, Minister of Defense, and Chief of Defense Forces from at least 50 states that include ASEAN states, neighboring states especially that have sea borders with Indonesia, some representative states from African continent, states that have cooperations with Indonesian Defense Universities, and states that have big enthusiasm to attend the JIDD2014, according to the last JIDD.  This event also invited international organizations such International Maritime Organization (IMO), a maritime regulator under United Nations, European Union (EU), and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The speakers in each topic will be selected officials and experts who come from various backgrounds from foreigns as well as Indonesia.  Speakers from Indonesia include the Chief of Defense Forces, the Chief of Staff of Indonesian Navy, experts from selected famous national universities and research centers as well as from Indonesian Defense University. The same as the last year event, the JIDD2014 will be held at Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta, Indonesia, in the first week of March 2014 tentatively. ++++ http://www.minister.defence.gov.au/2014/03/21/minister-for-defence-jakarta-international-defence-dialogue-a-success/ Minister for Defence – Jakarta International Defence Dialogue a success 21 March 2014 Minister for Defence, Senator David Johnston has praised the Indonesian Government for hosting a "very successful" international defence summit in Jakarta.
