Abstract

International trade law is based on several basic principles, these are the fairness and transparency principles. Fairness principles ensures that all WTO members obtain similar treatment. Likewise, the transparency principles aim at providing predictability to interests group in international trade. However, trade may be distorted by an unfair practice. The exchange of goods may sometime be controlled by a limited number of goods producers/suppliers. International traders may control the amount of exported or imported goods to another countries. With this ability, international traders may have the ability to control the price and availability of product in a particular market. The Indonesian fair competition law prohibits cartel practices. Unfortunately, there are issues in a cross-border cartel practices. This article examines how cross-border cartel practices may occur in international trade activities that will disturb Indonesian market. Further, it also examines legal problems in tackling cross-border cartel practices. It argues that jurisdiction is the most problematic issue that need to be resolved. Cooperation between Indonesia and its major trading partners may prevent cross-border cartel.
