Abstract

Although Indonesia is not formally constituted as an Islamic state, Islamic legal values have significantly influenced the development of its national legal system, particularly in the formation of modern legislation. This study aims to examine the integration of fiqhiyyah legal maxims into the foundational principles of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning Indonesia's New National Criminal Code (KUHP). Employing a qualitative approach grounded in normative juridical methods, this research draws upon primary legal documents, classical fiqh literature, and contemporary legal scholarship. Data were collected through a systematic literature review and analysed using conceptual and statutory approaches to identify patterns of normative convergence and doctrinal alignment. The findings indicate that at least eight fiqhiyyah legal maxims are substantively embedded within the core principles of the KUHP. Notably, the maxim la jarimata wa la 'uqubata illa bi al-nass corresponds to the principle of legality as stipulated in Articles 1(1) and 2(1). The principle of non-retroactivity is reflected in la raj'iyyah fi al-tashri' al-jina'i, while the doctrine of limited retroactivity aligns with inna al-tashri' al-jina'i yajuzu an yakuna lahu atharun raji'un as reflected in Article 3(1). Furthermore, the maxim inna al-shari'ah al-islamiyyah tutabbaqu' ala kulli jarimah underpins the principles of active and passive nationality in Articles 5 and 8. This study contributes to the discourse on legal pluralism by demonstrating that Indonesia's criminal law reform embodies a substantive harmonisation between positive Law and Islamic legal reasoning. It highlights the epistemological relevance of fiqhiyyah maxims as a normative bridge in shaping a responsive, adaptive, and contextually grounded modern legal system in a pluralistic society.

Abstract

This study examines how the historical trajectory of Otsus and the evolution of its legal-institutional framework—particularly the roles of the Governor, the Regional People's Representative Council of Papua and Regency/City Councils (DPRP/DPRK), and the Papuan People's Assembly (Majelis Rakyat Papua/MRP)—have shaped the direction of legal politics concerning meaningful participation, affirmative representation for OAP, special fiscal arrangements, and the agenda of historical clarification and human rights protection. This research employs normative (doctrinal) legal methods with a legal-historical specification. It utilizes statutory, historical, and conceptual approaches, complemented where relevant by a limited case approach. Primary legal materials include Law No. 21 of 2001 and its subsequent amendments, particularly Law No. 2 of 2021, as well as key implementing regulations. Secondary materials consist of recent scholarly literature on Papua’s special autonomy framework. The analysis is conducted through regulatory inventory, historical periodization, before-and-after mapping of key legal norms, institutional analysis, and vertical and horizontal legal synchronization. The findings indicate that: (i) Otsus incorporates explicit mandates concerning OAP recognition, human rights protection, public participation, and the institutional role of the MRP; however, implementation and evaluation have often prioritized fiscal transfers and development programs without adequately addressing deficits of political legitimacy and unresolved human rights concerns; (ii) initiatives aimed at strengthening governance through village-oriented development and the provision of basic public services have not fully resolved accountability challenges; and (iii) several revisions introduced under the second phase of Special Autonomy (Otsus II) are perceived to diminish the significance of local-cultural representation in strategic decision-making processes and to weaken mechanisms for meaningful participation. This article contributes a legal-historical analytical framework that bridges critiques of existing law (ius constitutum) with reform-oriented perspectives (ius constituendum), thereby supporting more substantive participation, a strengthened role for the MRP, and a more credible accountability framework within Papua’s special autonomy governance.

Abstract

This study develops a contemporary framework for integrating Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in the design of Sharia capital market indices. It addresses the persistent gap between formalistic Sharia screening—primarily concerned with legal compliance—and the materiality-driven logic of ESG, which emphasizes sustainability impact. Employing a qualitative conceptual approach, the study constructs a Three-Tier Framework that repositions Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah as the teleological foundation of sustainability assessment. The framework is operationalized into a systematic blueprint comprising four integrative themes and 22 measurable indicators. These indicators are derived from a thematic clustering of 45 elements from the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah Research Index (MSRI) and subsequently aligned with internationally recognized standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). The alignment process applies two criteria: dual relevance to both Maqāṣid and ESG dimensions, and the availability of verifiable public data. Preliminary validation through case studies of PT Bukit Asam and Unilever Indonesia demonstrates the framework’s ability to differentiate sustainability performance across sectors while revealing substantive gaps in current Sharia reporting practices, particularly in narrative depth and impact orientation. Unlike prior studies that position Maqāṣid and ESG as parallel constructs, this research reconstructs the evaluative logic by embedding Maqāṣid as the ethical core of ESG integration. This study contributes both theoretically and practically by advancing an integrated paradigm for Islamic finance and offering a replicable model for index construction. It provides a conceptual and operational foundation for transforming Sharia capital markets toward a more holistic, impact-oriented, and ethically grounded sustainability assessment system.
