handle is hein.journals/indolawrev6 and id is 1 raw text is: Editorial The first edition of Indonesia Law Review (ILRev) in 2016 continues presenting most recent development of various legal issues in Indonesia. This edition covers issues regarding labour migration, human trafficking, bio diversity protection, judicial review on administrative action, ecological justice and peasants land rights in Indonesia. The broad range of discussion presented in ILRev pictures the dynamic of laws and legal practices in Indonesia. Over the world, economic growth of a country is sponsored partly by migrants.' Migrants have been contributed to the labour market in both high and low skilled occupations in the receiving countries.2 According to data gathered by Department of Statistics of ILO in its ILO Global Estimates on Migrant Workers published in 2015, almost ten percent of total 150.3 million migrant workers are migrant domestic workers. In this regard, millions of Indonesian nationals choose to seek brighter opportunities as migrant domestic workers in foreign countries. Malaysia is one of the favored destinations as it demands high number of domestic workers, in addition to its geographical situation which is close to Indonesia and the common culture and language.4 In some cases, migrant domestic workers are often situated in fragile positions which result in prosecution of rights in receiving countries. Those situations are caused by the lack of protection in the receiving countries and from the origin countries. In the first article titled Abused and Alone: Legal Redress for Migrant Domestic Workers in Malaysia, authors identify laws and policies in Malaysia which viewed to have holes in protecting the rights of migrant domestic workers in Malaysia. Authors then continue by giving best practice from other countries regarding the realization of the workers' rights. Besides labour migration, human trafficking has become one of the global issues which cause millions of people tortured, humiliated and even murdered. In the region of South East Asia, trafficking in persons is conducted across borders within the region. Particularly in Indonesia and Thailand, both countries are dealing with massive numbers of trafficking in persons in their fisheries industries. In the effort to combat trafficking in fisheries industries in Indonesia and Thailand, the author of the second article titled Indonesia & Thailand: Maltreatment/Forced Labor/TIP in Fisheries in Indonesia/Thailand raises unique perspective. The author merges the use ofinternational treaties and agreements which Indonesia and Thailand are parties, their domestic regulations and U.S. Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act Year 2000 (U.S. TVPA). The author views U.S. TVPA as one of the push factors for the government of Indonesia and Thailand to mend their national legislations and policy to combat trafficking in fisheries industry The third article titled Bridging the Implementation of the Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress in Indonesia I International Labour Organization (1), The Contribution of Labour Mobility to Economic Growth, Joint Paper for G20 Labour and Employment Ministers' Meeting, Ankara, Turkey, 3-4 September 2015, p. 2. 2 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Is Migration Good for the Economy? https //wwwonecdorg/migration/OECD%20Migration%20PolivY%20Debates%20Numero%202 pdf. ac- cessed 28 April 2016.
