Peran Hukum Internasional dalam Menyikapi Ketegangan Korea Utara dan Korea Selatan

Abstract

This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of legal norms
and their application in the tensions between North Korea and South Korea, as
well as to integrate various legal sources and scholarly literature as the basis for
analysis. The research employs a qualitative method with a normative approach,
focusing on the analysis of applicable legal norms, principles, and regulations at
both national and international levels. The data are obtained from various
sources, including legislation, legal doctrines, academic journals, books, official
websites, and relevant international legal instruments. Data analysis is
conducted qualitatively through the evaluation, interpretation, and synthesis of
legal materials to produce logical and comprehensive legal arguments. The
findings indicate that the conflict between North Korea and South Korea
constitutes a complex and protracted global security issue, with significant
implications for the stability of East Asia and the international legal system. From
the perspective of international law, this conflict is not merely a bilateral dispute
but represents a serious violation of norms and principles of world peace. The
United Nations Security Council has responded by issuing resolutions
condemning North Korea’s actions and imposing economic and political
sanctions, such as asset freezes and oil embargoes. However, the enforcement of
international law faces major obstacles due to North Korea’s non-compliance.
