Abstract

The Indonesia–Papua New Guinea border area in Sota District, Merauke Regency is characterized by high cross-border activities that require adequate legal understanding among the community. The research problem lies in the low level of legal literacy regarding immigration procedures, travel documents, and citizens’ rights and obligations. This study aims to improve legal literacy through cross-border legal education programs. The research method employs a participatory approach through legal counseling, interactive discussions, case studies, and the distribution of educational materials such as guidebooks and legal information sheets. The results indicate an increase in community understanding of cross-border legal regulations, the importance of compliance with laws, and applicable procedures in cross-border activities. Furthermore, the educational approach enhances legal awareness and strengthens the legal culture of the border community. In conclusion, cross-border legal education programs are effective in improving legal literacy and should be implemented sustainably through collaboration among stakeholders.

Abstract

Indigenous peoples in Indonesia systematically face normative and structural barriers that trigger the marginalization of their living spaces and the failure to fulfill their right to justice. This study aims to assess the degree of alignment between national regulations and international instruments, particularly the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), regarding the right to access to justice for indigenous peoples, while mapping the normative barriers in domestic agrarian disputes. The research method employed is normative juridical, utilizing statutory, comparative, and conceptual approaches. The results demonstrate a sharp paradigm misalignment. UNDRIP promotes the recognition of inherent rights (sui generis) and the principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC). Conversely, Indonesian positive law is characterized by state-centered positivism (positivisme etatis), which reduces customary land rights (hak ulayat) to state-granted rights through restrictive administrative prerequisites via Regional Regulations (Peraturan Daerah). At the judicial level, civil procedural law is highly formalistic-positivistic, elevating written evidence (Article 1867 of the Indonesian Civil Code) and thereby sidelining customary evidence based on oral traditions or natural boundaries. This condition is exacerbated by contemporary regulations, such as the Job Creation Law through the Land Bank institution and the New Criminal Code, which escalate conflicts and structural criminalization, as seen in Rempang Island and Nangahale. The prolonged delay in enacting the Indigenous Peoples Bill creates an absolute norm vacuum that perpetuates a pseudo formalistic-procedural justice. Therefore, a progressive reconstruction of legal policy is required through the accelerated enactment of the Indigenous Peoples Bill, the issuance of Supreme Court Regulations to equalize non-written evidence, and the integration of customary courts into the national judicial system to achieve substantive justice.
