establishing stable fixed land and maritime
boundaries with all of its neighbors; some

exclave and maritime boundaries with Timor-Leste

refuse repatriation; a 1997 treaty between
Indonesia and Australia settled some parts of
their maritime boundary but outstanding issues
remain; ICJ's award of Sipadan and Ligitan
islands to Malaysia in 2002 left the sovereignty
of Unarang rock and the maritime boundary in the
Ambalat oil block in the Celebes Sea in dispute;
the ICJ decision has prompted Indonesia to
assert claims to and to establish a presence on
its smaller outer islands; Indonesia and
Singapore continue to work on finalization of
their 1973 maritime boundary agreement by
defining unresolved areas north of Indonesia's
Batam Island; Indonesian secessionists,
squatters, and illegal migrants create
repatriation problems for Papua New Guinea;
