Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: This article examines the issue of gender inequality in royal succession by comparing women's right to ascend the throne in the Sultanate of Yogyakarta and in Brunei Darussalam. While Yogyakarta has begun to open up the discourse on women's succession through the King's Word and constitutional interpretation, Brunei explicitly restricts succession to male heirs under its constitution. Purpose/Study Objectives: The purpose of this article is to analyze and compare the position and rights of women in royal succession within the Sultanate of Yogyakarta and Brunei Darussalam, to identify the cultural, historical, and religious factors that influence this practice, and to evaluate it in the light of international human rights principles, in particular CEDAW. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research uses normative juridical research methods with a comparative approach, focusing on the analysis of legal texts, constitutional provisions, customary regulations, and international human rights instruments. Findings: The study reveal that although both the Sultanate of Yogyakarta and Brunei Darussalam are rooted in patriarchal traditions of royal succession, they diverge significantly in their capacity for legal and normative adaptation. In Yogyakarta, the combination of Sabda Raja, Dawuh Raja, and Constitutional Court Decision No. 88/PUU-XIV/2016 has created a transformative opening that reinterprets customary law in line with constitutional principles and international human rights norms, thereby enabling the possibility of female succession through an evolving model of adaptive legal pluralism. By contrast, Brunei maintains a structurally closed system in which the constitutional requirement of a male ruler (reinforced by the Melayu Islam Beraja ideology and religious authority) institutionalizes gender exclusion and limits interpretive flexibility. This comparison demonstrates that restrictions on women’s leadership are not inherently derived from Islamic doctrine but are shaped by differing configurations of political authority, legal flexibility, and engagement with international norms, with Yogyakarta illustrating the potential for reform and Brunei reflecting the persistence of entrenched patriarchal governance.

Abstract

State asset management is a fundamental component of public financial governance, aimed at ensuring transparency, accountability, and efficiency. In Indonesia, the legal foundation for state asset administration is established under Law Number 1 of 2004 on State Treasury. In the context of globalization, aligning domestic regulations with international legal standards, such as the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), has become imperative. Discrepancies between national and international regulatory frameworks may result in legal inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and challenges in securing state assets abroad. This scholarly article employs a doctrinal legal research approach to evaluate the conformity of Indonesia’s legal framework with international standards. It identifies key challenges, including the inadequate implementation of IPSAS, deficiencies in technological infrastructure, and limited institutional capacity. Additionally, protecting state assets in foreign jurisdictions remains complex due to disparities in legal systems, bureaucratic constraints, and insufficient international legal cooperation. To address these challenges, Indonesia must reinforce its legal framework, integrate advanced technological solutions, and enhance cross-border legal collaboration. The adoption of internationally recognized best practices in state asset management will strengthen legal certainty, mitigate financial risks, and ensure compliance with global governance principles. This article contributes to the legal discourse by analyzing the complexities of state asset management in an increasingly interconnected world and proposing regulatory and institutional reforms to enhance its effectiveness.
