Summary

The script explains Indonesia's maritime boundaries as defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It highlights three main maritime zones: territorial sea, continental shelf, and exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Indonesia has full sovereignty over its territorial waters, extending 12 nautical miles from its baseline, and sovereign rights over the continental shelf for resource exploration up to 200 miles. The EEZ, also extending 200 miles, grants Indonesia rights for resource exploitation and conservation. The importance of preserving Indonesia's marine resources is emphasized, with reference to neighboring countries like Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Australia.
