Abstract
At the time of writing (December 2013), Indonesia has to resolve two or more segments of maritime boundaries with Timor-Leste in the Banda, Savu and Timor Seas and Ombai and Wetar Straits; one segment with Palau in the Pacific Ocean; at least one segment each with Malaysia and the Philippines in the Sulawesi Sea; and, with Malaysia and Singapore in the eastern and western approaches to the Singapore Straits (Figs. 4.1 and 4.2); and ratify the 1997 Agreement with Australia. The following section examines some of these potential boundaries in the context of maritime legal, political and spatial concerns and implications.
