[ABSTRAK

Skripsi ini dilatarbelakangi oleh permasalahan karena adanya stabilization clause

di dalam kontrak-kontrak investasi asing yang dapat berpengaruh negatif terhadap

perkembangan Hak Asasi Manusia. Hal ini terjadi karena stabilization clause

membatasi kemampuan negara untuk memberlakukan hukum baru terhadap

investasi sebagai suatu bentuk pemberian kepastian hukum kepada investor asing.

Permasalahan menjadi kian kompleks karena stabilization clause juga membatasi

ruang negara untuk memberlakukan hukum baru mengenai Hak Asasi Manusia.

Akibatnya, terjadi konflik antara kewajiban negara menuruti kontrak investasi dan

kewajiban internasional negara atas Hak Asasi Manusia. Pembahasan

permasalahan ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan analisis

yuridis-normatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah menjelaskan adanya stabilization

clause dalam kontrak investasi untuk melindungi investor asing dari tindakantindakan

sepihak negara yang dapat merugikan investasi asing. Selain itu, terdapat

dampak negatif yang dapat ditimbulkan oleh stabilization clause dalam kontrak

investasi terhadap Hak Asasi Manusia. Kasus BTC Pipeline dan Kasus Mittal

Steel menunjukkan bahwa stabilization clause yang menghambat hak legislatif

negara mengenai HAM akan berdampak negatif terhadap perkembangan HAM

serta berpotensi memunculkan pelanggaran-pelanggaran HAM di negara tersebut.

ABSTRACT

This thesis is motivated by the problematique usage of stabilization clauses in

foreign investment contracts which may have possible negative impacts to the

development of Human Rights. This occurs as stabilization clauses aim to limit a

state?s capability to enact new laws and regulation to the investment. Stabilization

clauses are tools for a state to create legal certainty to the investment. The

situation became more complex when a stabilization clause also limits the state?s

rights to enact new laws and regulations regarding Human Rights. As a

consequence, a conflict arises between a state?s contractual duty and its

international human rights obligation. This thesis uses normative legal research

and juridical-normative analysis to address the issue. The outcome of this study is

to point out that the existance of stabilization clauses were to protect foreign

investors from a state?s unilateral action which may harm the investment.

Additionally, there is a possible negative impact which stabilization clauses may

cause to Human Rights. Both the BTC Pipeline case and Mitall Steel case indicate

that stabilization clauses which limit the state?s legislative rights regarding Human

Rights will cause negative impacts to the state?s Human Rights development and

would potentially result in Human Rights violations.;This thesis is motivated by the problematique usage of stabilization clauses in
