Abstract

Introduction: Elections for regional heads and heads of government are one of the important aspects in building a democratic system that encourages citizen participation in the political process.Purposes of the Research:  This study aims to describe the dynamics and challenges of democracy associated with the implementation of regional elections in several countries. Local elections are a major test of a country's democratic health, and a variety of factors can affect the outcome and integrity of the process.Methods of the Research: This research is legal research using two legal approaches, namely the statute approach and the comparative approach.Results of the Research: The results showed that regional elections have complex dynamics and several significant challenges in the context of democracy. These dynamics include intense political competition, increased public participation, and changes in political communication through social media. While the challenges that need to be faced in regional elections include contests involving incumbents, fraud in elections, political money, voter participation, political polarization, and the integrity of organizers that occur in Indonesia and in the Netherlands. Thus, this study shows that regional elections are not only a political event, but also a test of the quality of a country's democracy. Concerted efforts to address these challenges will play a key role in maintaining and strengthening democratic systems that are healthy and responsive to people's needs.

Abstract

With the European Union Whistleblowing Directive (2019), the topic of whistleblowing is becoming increasingly important for EU MS’s public and private entities. Whistle-blowers might play a vital role in exposing corruption, fraud and mismanagement of the EU’s supranational norms. The Directive introduced minimum standards for the protection of whistle-blowers and obliges many public and private entities to introduce their own internal whistleblowing channels. The EU also can take some lessons from Indonesia about the practice and obstacle in implementing whistleblowing system. The aim of this article is to introduce the new EU Whistleblowing Directive’s main features and some presumable obstacles for implementation. The hypothesis is that the new Directive might enhance the fairwork-place environment, roll back fraud and corruption, reduce work-related wrongdoing and manage equal treatment and no- discrimination policy including bullying and sexual harassment. However, some theoretical and pragmatic discrepancies will be introduced as well.

Abstract

The improper utilization of AI technology poses difficulties to democracy, particularly the growing threat of unjust elections, exemplified by the deployment of bot accounts and deep fakes during electoral processes. Hence, it is crucial to build a strong and comprehensive framework to regulate the utilization of AI technology in Indonesia's political process. This article analyzes four main topics: (a) the advancement of AI technology and its connection to elections; (b) the influence of AI technology on election principles; (c) the pressing need for regulating AI in elections; and (d) the possibilities and difficulties of regulating AI technology within Indonesia's legal framework. The paper employs doctrinal legal research to examine the necessity of regulating AI technology in the context of conducting elections, taking into account the constitutional framework, established principles, and democratic election norms. The result shows that irresponsible use of AI technology remains a menace to democratic election ideals, and Indonesia must establish adequate legal mechanisms to tackle the problems stemming from the improper use of AI technology in the political process. The regulation of AI technology can be initiated by introducing a bill specifically focused on artificial intelligence (AI). This process should also involve the synchronization and harmonization of election rules, including election laws, laws governing the election of governors, regents, and mayors, laws concerning political parties, and other implementing regulations such as those established by the General Election Commission and the Election Supervisory Board.

Abstract

ABSTRACT  Purpose: This research aims to determine the comparison of legal implementation between 2 (two) countries that adhere to a civil law legal system in viewing the issue of error in person. With the main aim of providing insight and potential solutions to overcome the problem of default and error in person, this research contributes to solving the challenges encountered in this domain. Methodology: This research employed normative research methods through a case approach and a comparative approach, both for Indonesia and Hungary. Results: The results of this research demonstrated that the 2 (two) legal perspectives of Indonesia and Hungary both have quite significant similarities in viewing a default or error in person. The decision made by the judge in the decision above can actually still be prosecuted if the person concerned wishes to do so. However, it could be considered inaccurate and could be even more detrimental to the defendant. Hence, the legal considerations applied are deemed appropriate. Applications of this study: This research’s findings can be used to analyze legal comparisons between 2 (two) countries and the judge's considerations regarding error in persona in breach of contract disputes with Decision Number 59/PDT/2021/PT SMR. Novelty/Originality of this study: Undoubtedly, each country has a different view on issues that harm certain parties in the agreement or default; likewise, with formal defects in the form of errors in persona. Therefore, more in-depth research is needed on legal comparisons in 2 (two) countries and judges' considerations regarding errors in persona. Such research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of how legal systems address these issues, facilitating better decisions and potentially encouraging harmonization or convergence of legal practice across jurisdictions.  Keywords: Agreement, Default, Error in persona   ABSTRAK  Purpose : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui komparasi pelaksanaan hukum diantara 2 (dua) negara yang menganut sistem hukum civil law dalam memandang persoalan error in persona. Dengan tujuan utama memberikan wawasan dan solusi potensial guna mengatasi masalah wanprestasi maupun error in persona. Penelitian ini sebagai kontribusi pada penyelesaian tantangan yang dihadapi dalam domain ini. Methodology : Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian normatif melalui pendekatan kasus dan pendekatan komparatif, baik terhadap negara Indonesia ataupun Hungaria. Results : Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa 2 (dua) perspektif hukum antara Indonesia dan Hungaria, keduanya memiliki kesamaan yang cukup signifikan dalam memandang suatu wanprestasi maupun error in persona. Pengambilan keputusan oleh hakim dalam putusan diatas sebenarnya masih bisa dituntut jika yang bersangkutan menghendakinya, akan tetapi dapat terbilang kurang tepat dan bisa saja semakin merugikan bagi pihak tergugat. Oleh karena itu, pertimbangan hukum yang diterapkan terbilang sudah tepat. Applications of this study : Hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis terkait komparasi hukum diantara 2 (dua) negara dan pertimbangan hakim terkait error in persona pada sengketa wanprestasi dengan Putusan Nomor 59/PDT/2021/PT SMR. Novelty/ Orginalty of this study : Permasalahan yang merugikan pihak tertentu dalam perjanjian atau wanprestasi, tentunya dalam hal itu setiap negara memiliki pandangan yang berbeda. Begitu juga dengan cacat formil berupa error in persona. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penelitian lebih mendalam terhadap komparasi hukum dalam 2 (dua) negara dan pertimbangan hakim terkait error in persona. Penelitian semacam itu guna berkontribusi pada pemahaman yang komprehensif tentang bagaimana sistem hukum menangani masalah ini, memfasilitasi keputusan yang lebih baik dan berpotensi mendorong harmonisasi atau konvergensi praktik hukum di seluruh yurisdiksi.  Keywords: Perjanjian, Wanprestasi, error in persona

Abstract

The prevalence of hoaxes in Indonesia is not a new phenomenon. Over the past three years, there has been a consistent increase in the dissemination of hoaxes across various platforms in the country. Furthermore, with the onset of the pandemic, the spread of hoaxes related to Covid-19 has become particularly rampant. In 2021 itself, the Ministry of Communications and Informatics identified and debunked a total of 723 hoaxes pertaining to Covid-19. This research paper aims to examine the current state of hoax dissemination in Indonesia and identify the key factors contributing to their spread. The study adopts a normative legal research approach, drawing on data derived from books, journals, relevant laws, and regulations. The findings reveal that social media platforms play a significant role in the proliferation of hoaxes throughout Indonesia. The presence of numerous anonymous or fake accounts facilitates the easy dissemination of hoaxes via social media. Moreover, the lack of due diligence in verifying and fact-checking information creates a loophole that allows hoaxes to circulate within the community. In order to address this issue effectively, it is crucial to implement measures that target the root causes of hoax dissemination. This includes the development of stricter regulations and enforcement mechanisms to combat the creation and spread of hoaxes, particularly on social media platforms. By comprehensively understanding the dynamics and factors influencing the spread of hoaxes in Indonesia, policymakers, law enforcement agencies, and the general public can work together to combat this pressing issue.
