ISDS Case Map
Indonesia
The Canada-Indonesia trade deal’s “women-inclusive” label masks a neoliberal agenda that benefits Canadian corporations more than Indonesian women. It exploits feminist language to legitimize market expansion, while reinforcing structural inequalities—especially the burden of unpaid care work on women—and enabling corporate power through costly investor rights (ISDS). True gender justice requires systemic change, not just market inclusion.
The US Supreme Court’s decision invalidating the tariffs is yet another reason for countries like Indonesia to be wary of ratifying these deals negotiated with the Trump administration.
Bangladesh and Indonesia have agreed to accelerate negotiations on a Preferential Trade Agreement to expand bilateral trade and deepen economic cooperation.
A civil society coalition consisting of CELIOS, the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI), Indonesia for Global Justice (IGJ), Solidaritas Perempuan, and supported by WALHI Nasional and Trend Asia has officially filed a lawsuit for Unlawful Government Act (Onrechtmatige Overheidsdaad) against the President of the Republic of Indonesia at the Jakarta Administrative Court (PTUN) on March 11, 2026.
The Civil Society Coalition for Economic Justice (Koalisi MKE) urges President Prabowo Subianto not to ratify the reciprocal trade agreement (ART) between Indonesia and the United States (US) signed on February 19, 2026. The 19% tariff reduction obtained by Indonesia in this agreement is not commensurate with the surrender of the country's sovereignty to US interests.
Indonesia for Global Justice (IGJ) firmly condemns and strongly opposes the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) between Indonesia and the United States, which threatens national sovereignty, narrows Indonesia’s policy space for national development, and places Indonesia in a position equivalent to being a subordinate to U.S. interests.
Indonesia and Uzbekistan have launched Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations, marked by a virtual signing of a joint statement and a Trade and Investment Cooperation Agreement.
This so-called ‘deal’ is a one-sided neocolonial trap that locks Indonesia into binding, economy-wide concessions to benefit large U.S. corporate interests.
Serikat Petani Indonesia (SPI) believes that the Indonesia-US ART has the potential to narrow the scope of national policy in protecting the agricultural and food sectors, has direct and fundamental implications for the direction of national agricultural policy, food sovereignty, and the livelihoods of small farmers, even threatening the sovereignty of the Indonesian state.
A new trade agreement between Indonesia and the United States has sparked sharp criticism from climate advocates, who warn that a commitment to purchase up to USD 15 billion worth of American fossil fuels could undermine Indonesia’s renewable energy transition
