PERAN INTERNATIONAL MARITIM ORGANIZATION DALAM MENCEGAH TUMPAHAN MINYAK DI LAUT
Oil spills constitute one of the most damaging forms of marine pollution, posing significant threats to marine ecosystems as well as to the social and economic activities of coastal communities. The International Maritime Organization (IMO), as a specialized agency of the United Nations, holds the mandate to regulate maritime safety and prevent marine pollution through international legal instruments such as MARPOL 73/78 and the OPRC 1990 Convention. This study aims to analyze the role of IMO in preventing and responding to oil spills, with a particular focus on the several case studies on oil spill. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design and utilizes Clive Archer’s framework on the role of international organizations, which includes their functions as a forum, an instrument, and an actor. The findings indicate that the IMO serves as a forum that facilitates dialogue and cooperation among member states in formulating global maritime environmental standards; as an instrument through the adoption of binding regulations; and as an actor through monitoring, technical assistance, and capacity-building efforts for member states. However, the Deepwater Horizon case reveals limitations in the implementation of international regulations, particularly in offshore drilling activities that fall within the domestic jurisdiction of states. This study concludes that while IMO plays a strategic role in global marine environmental governance, its effectiveness is highly dependent on the commitment of member states to enforce and implement the established international regulations. Keywords: International Maritime Organization, Oil spill, MARPOL, marine pollution.
