Abstract

This paper presents a gender-based analysis of climate resilience in rural communities, focusing on the often-overlooked role of women in adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Drawing on field research from rural regions in Indonesia and complemented by a review of global gender-climate frameworks, the study examines how women’s experiences, responsibilities, and knowledge systems shape their responses to environmental challenges. It argues that while rural women are disproportionately affected by climate-related stresses—such as water scarcity, agricultural decline, and natural disasters—they also possess unique adaptive capacities rooted in local knowledge, caregiving roles, and community networks. Through qualitative interviews, participatory observation, and policy analysis, the research identifies key structural barriers that limit women's access to resources, decision-making processes, and climate adaptation programs. These include gendered land tenure systems, limited financial and technical support, and socio-cultural norms that undervalue women’s labor and leadership. At the same time, the paper documents instances where women have emerged as pivotal actors in grassroots climate initiatives, sustainable agriculture, and disaster risk management. The paper’s primary contribution is its call for the integration of gender justice into climate resilience planning at both national and community levels. It challenges technocratic, gender-neutral adaptation models and highlights the importance of intersectional approaches that consider class, ethnicity, and local context. By centering women's voices and agency, the study advocates for inclusive climate strategies that recognize women not merely as vulnerable populations, but as key agents of transformative change in the face of the climate crisis.

Abstract

Indonesia’s judiciary is characterized by institutional dualism, with multiple court jurisdictions—general, religious, military, administrative—operating under a decentralized and often fragmented legal framework. This structural dualism presents ongoing challenges in achieving coherence, consistency, and legal unity. This study explores the implications of such institutional fragmentation for legal harmonization and judicial efficiency. Through a doctrinal and comparative legal analysis, combined with field interviews and policy reviews, the research investigates areas where overlapping jurisdiction, conflicting procedural norms, and divergent judicial training contribute to inconsistency in legal interpretation and public confusion. The findings show that, although the integration of judicial administration under the Supreme Court was a step toward unification, substantive harmonization remains elusive. This has led to jurisdictional conflicts, especially in areas such as family law, land disputes, and administrative oversight. The novelty of the study lies in its critical appraisal of judicial dualism from both structural and functional perspectives. It argues that harmonization efforts must go beyond administrative integration and address deeper issues of legal culture, normative hierarchy, and cross-jurisdictional jurisprudence. This research offers recommendations for improving coordination across courts, standardizing procedural rules, and fostering a more unified national legal identity. As Indonesia continues to develop its legal infrastructure, addressing judicial dualism is vital to enhancing legal certainty and access to justice.

Abstract

Equality before the law constitutes a core principle of court justice, yet sentencing disparities continue to provoke public debate in Indonesia’s corruption cases. This paper examines how sentencing practices reflect and challenge the normative commitment to equality in criminal adjudication. Through doctrinal analysis of criminal law principles and comparative reading of selected corruption verdicts, the study explores variations in sentencing severity across cases with comparable legal and factual circumstances. The analysis suggests that judicial discretion, while legally permitted, often lacks sufficiently articulated justification, creating perceptions of unequal treatment. By focusing on sentencing as a site of justice evaluation, the paper highlights how court justice is shaped by consistency, proportionality, and transparency. It raises normative questions about the limits of judicial discretion and the role of sentencing guidelines in reinforcing public confidence in the criminal justice system.

Abstract

This paper explores the legal and environmental injustices faced by the indigenous Malay communities in Riau, particularly the land dispossession caused by the expansion of logging and palm oil plantations. Over the past few decades, Riau has witnessed rapid deforestation and large-scale land conversions that have displaced indigenous Malay populations from their ancestral territories. The study critically examines the legal battles these communities face in securing land rights, focusing on the inadequacies of Indonesian land laws, such as the 1999 Forestry Law, which has facilitated the encroachment of corporate interests into indigenous territories. Through a combination of legal analysis, case studies, and interviews with affected communities, the paper explores how the legal system has systematically failed to protect indigenous land rights. The study highlights how land dispossession not only leads to environmental degradation but also to the loss of cultural identity and economic livelihoods for the Malay people. The paper also critiques the role of government institutions in enabling land grabbing and corporate encroachment, and it identifies gaps in Indonesia's land tenure system. The findings underscore the need for stronger legal protections for indigenous land rights and propose reforms to the 1999 Forestry Law, advocating for clearer recognition of customary land rights and more inclusive policies for indigenous communities.

Abstract

Indonesia's constitutional framework formally guarantees freedom of religion and worship, yet religious minorities continue to encounter institutional barriers in establishing and maintaining houses of worship. This article examines how local licensing mechanisms may transform majority preferences into effective veto powers over the religious rights of minority communities. The study aims to identify the legal and institutional mechanisms through which seemingly neutral licensing requirements produce discriminatory outcomes. Employing normative juridical and socio-legal approaches, the research examines relevant constitutional provisions, regulations concerning houses of worship, selected judicial decisions, and documented conflicts involving religious minorities. The analysis focuses on the relationship between administrative discretion, local majoritarianism, and the state's positive obligation to protect minority rights. The article argues that the central problem is not merely the existence of restrictive requirements but the delegation of substantial regulatory power to institutions vulnerable to majoritarian pressure. Such arrangements may undermine equality before the law and transform procedural requirements into instruments of exclusion. The article proposes a rights-based interpretation of licensing authority, emphasizing proportionality, non-discrimination, and effective judicial oversight. It concludes that meaningful protection of religious minorities requires institutional mechanisms capable of preventing local majorities from exercising de facto veto power over constitutionally protected religious freedoms.

Abstract

Introduction: Restorative justice, which focuses on repairing harm caused by crime or conflict through dialogue and mutual agreement, is gaining traction as a community-based legal intervention in Indonesia. Unlike traditional punitive measures, restorative justice emphasizes healing for both the victim and the offender.Purpose: This paper investigates the application of restorative justice within community settings in Indonesia, analyzing how it serves as an alternative approach to conventional legal responses for resolving local disputes and promoting reconciliation.Method: The study includes case studies of restorative justice programs in Indonesian communities, focusing on their process, outcomes, and challenges. Interviews with participants in these programs, as well as legal professionals and community leaders, provide insights into the effectiveness of restorative justice.Findings and Results: The findings suggest that restorative justice programs have had positive outcomes in resolving conflicts, particularly in cases involving juvenile offenders or minor offenses. These programs encourage community involvement and promote reconciliation, although challenges such as societal acceptance and implementation inconsistencies remain.Urgency: Given the increasing rates of petty crime and social unrest in Indonesia, restorative justice offers an urgent and viable alternative to punitive measures that may not always address the root causes of conflict.Contribution: This paper highlights the potential of restorative justice as a tool for building community resilience and fostering reconciliation at the local level.Recommendation: The study recommends the expansion of restorative justice programs, particularly in schools and rural communities, along with training for local leaders and legal professionals to ensure successful implementation.

Abstract

Introduction:Street vendors in urban Indonesia, particularly in Surakarta (Solo), operate within a legal grey zone, often facing regulatory crackdowns, eviction, or relocation without adequate legal understanding or protection. The informal nature of their economic activities makes them vulnerable to policy shifts and enforcement actions under municipal regulations. Purpose:This study aims to examine how legal awareness initiatives can empower street vendors in Surakarta to navigate municipal regulations, assert their rights, and engage more constructively with local authorities. Method:Adopting a qualitative case study approach, the research combined interviews with street vendors, municipal officials, and civil society advocates with participatory observation and analysis of relevant local regulations. Legal literacy workshops and focus group discussions were also assessed as part of the intervention. Findings and Results:The study found that increased legal awareness enabled vendors to better understand licensing processes, dispute resolution mechanisms, and the implications of municipal spatial planning policies. Vendors who participated in legal literacy sessions were more likely to seek negotiation with local authorities and form associations to collectively advocate for their interests. However, challenges remain in reconciling informal economic practices with rigid regulatory frameworks. Urgency:As urban governance in Indonesian cities becomes increasingly formalized, there is an urgent need to ensure that the rights and livelihoods of informal workers are not overlooked. Legal awareness serves as a critical foundation for inclusive and just urban development. Contribution:This research contributes to the discourse on informality and urban justice by showing how legal empowerment can reduce conflict, promote dialogue, and facilitate policy reforms that balance regulation with economic inclusivity. Recommendation:Local governments should institutionalize legal literacy programs for informal workers and create participatory platforms that include street vendors in urban policy planning. Regulatory frameworks must be adapted to reflect the realities of informality and social equity.

Abstract

This paper investigates the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), digital rights, and human dignity in Indonesia’s emerging tech regulatory landscape. As Indonesia continues to develop its digital economy, concerns about the ethical implications of AI technologies, including surveillance, data privacy, and discrimination, have become increasingly urgent. The study examines Indonesia’s existing regulatory frameworks on AI, focusing on data protection laws, privacy rights, and digital freedoms. It explores how Indonesia’s laws align with international human rights standards, particularly the protection of individual dignity and autonomy in the digital space. Through an analysis of recent legal developments, including the Personal Data Protection Law and the draft Cybersecurity Bill, the paper critiques the limitations of these frameworks in addressing the rapid growth of AI technologies. The research highlights the need for stronger protections against algorithmic bias, discrimination, and the misuse of personal data, stressing that human dignity must remain central to any technological advancements. The study calls for a holistic approach to digital rights that includes ethical AI development, robust privacy protections, and transparency in tech governance.
