Abstract

The action of a person to possess goods using clandestine methods that are contrary to statutory regulations is called smuggling. In Indonesia, the crime of smuggling imported used clothing often occurs. This incident occurred due to encouragement from the Indonesian people to have a high interest in foreign products at lower prices. From the act of smuggling imported second-hand clothes, they are able to reap greater profits, thus attracting the interest of individuals involved in smuggling activities. On this occasion, the author uses a normative juridical method based on the perspective of Indonesian positive law, also uses a qualitative descriptive type of research with data analysis techniques based on literature studies by reviewing books and linking literature related to the issues raised in this journal. The perpetrators of criminal cases involving smuggling of imported second-hand clothing cannot be taken lightly, the need for law enforcement for these criminal acts. Stricter supervision is carried out in areas where goods enter from abroad by the government, law enforcement officials and customs agencies. The crime of smuggling has an impact on reducing the country's income and growth, so strict law enforcement is needed against the perpetrators. Together with existing laws and regulations to protect against smuggling, we will then be able to implement these regulations optimally together with the government.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the principle of equality before the law in terms of the rights of persons with disabilities to obtain legal services at the Surakarta City Religious Court. This study used interviews with judges, lawyers, court officers, and people with disabilities, as well as direct observation of existing facilities and accessibility in the court. This research method is based on an empirical juridical method. In addition, this study analyzes whether the principle of equality before the law is applied effectively, by looking at the example of Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities. The results of the study show that, although there have been efforts to fulfill the rights of persons with disabilities in the judiciary, there are still some challenges to applying the principle of equality before the law. Among them are the lack of disability-friendly court facilities and the lack of adequate communication assistance. and the inability of court officers to understand the rights of persons with disabilities. People with disabilities often have difficulty accessing courtrooms, getting proper information about the law, and getting proper legal assistance. Therefore, while there are regulations that support the rights of persons with disabilities in the justice system, practice on the ground still needs to make further efforts to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to access legal services and access. The study suggests improving physical court facilities, improving legal support services, and specialized training for law enforcement to increase understanding and awareness of the rights of persons with disabilities in the judicial process.
