ABSTRACT

This research aims to analyze about the urgency of notification as one of Indonesian labor protective measures in foreign countries, especially in Kuwait and formulate a model of the optimization of the Indonesian labor protective measures through notification in Kuwait because of the many problems that occur as a case of unpaid salaries, sexual harassment, violence, and persecution that resulted in death. On the other hand, there are also cases of crimes committed by domestic workers, so entangled legal case that causes at punished domestic workers. Nevertheless, there is an Indonesian domestic workers are convicted, but through no fault of their own they do, but because of his employer's report. This is one of the ways of the employer to discharge his responsibility against domestic workers because basically the problems caused by the introduction of the system of kafala in Kuwait as in international law that a State has a duty to protect the citizens of other countries residing in its territory. The form of protection can be an official notification to the representative in the country. This has been set forth in article 36 of Vienna Convention 1963 but in practice, such article is not in line with the norm that there where lots of legal cases in Kuwait where the Indonesian Embassy in Kuwait is not getting the notification so that the impact on a large number of cases that cannot be solved optimally
