Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze the role of customary law in improving community welfare, as well as how customary law is accommodated or confronted with the national legal system in the context of development. The method used is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which allows researchers to compile and synthesize information from various academic sources systematically, structured, and critically. The research process begins with the formulation of research questions, literature selection based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, evaluation of source quality, to narrative synthesis of the main themes that emerge from the literature, such as customary-based natural resource management, protection of local community rights, and state recognition of customary law. The results of the study show that customary law, as an unwritten legal system that is flexible and contextual, plays an important role in maintaining cultural identity, resolving conflicts, and managing resources sustainably. Although recognized in the constitution, customary law faces external challenges such as modernization and pressure from state law, as well as internal challenges such as potential discrimination and cultural commodification. Therefore, it is necessary to update customary law to be more inclusive and adaptive, as well as harmonious integration with national law supported by government policies, customary leaders, and civil society. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening customary law as a strategic element in realizing the welfare of indigenous communities in a just and sustainable manner.

Abstract

  This study discusses the normative conflict between customary law and positive law in determining the status of children in Indonesia, with an emphasis on the juridical implications for the protection of children's rights. In the context of legal pluralism recognized by Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, customary law often rejects the recognition of children out of wedlock, children of serial marriages, and adopted children who do not conform to local kinship norms. This is contrary to the principles of non-discrimination and the best interests of children as stipulated in Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. The inconsistency of these norms not only has an administrative impact, but also raises the potential for criminal offenses, including child neglect due to not being officially recorded. This study uses a normative juridical approach with qualitative analysis methods on primary and secondary legal materials, including international conventions such as CRC. The results of the analysis show the urgency of legal harmonization through responsive derivative regulations, legal understanding by local actors, and the transformation of customary law values to be in line with the principles of child protection. Law No. 35 of 2014 is positioned as a transformational instrument to bridge the tension between local norms and national laws to ensure that children's rights are guaranteed comprehensively without discrimination
