It is not an extraordinary situation. The distance between Indonesia and Singapore is less than 12 Nm. Post UNCLOS 1982, both States extended 12 Nm territorial sea and constituted overlapping claims. The two States negotiated and agreed roughly equidistant line 1973. https://t.co/CNyXbvvYyE

Saudi Arabia executes Indonesian migrant worker Tuti Tursilawati, reportedly without prior notice to Ind authorities. 4th such execution since 2011. Public response in Ind has varied widely: firestorm of criticism in 2011; muted in 2015 in midst of drugs executions in Indonesia https://t.co/KwnQdquTPy
