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

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.

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

State asset management is a fundamental component of public financial governance, aimed at ensuring transparency, accountability, and efficiency. In Indonesia, the legal foundation for state asset administration is established under Law Number 1 of 2004 on State Treasury. In the context of globalization, aligning domestic regulations with international legal standards, such as the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), has become imperative. Discrepancies between national and international regulatory frameworks may result in legal inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and challenges in securing state assets abroad. This scholarly article employs a doctrinal legal research approach to evaluate the conformity of Indonesia’s legal framework with international standards. It identifies key challenges, including the inadequate implementation of IPSAS, deficiencies in technological infrastructure, and limited institutional capacity. Additionally, protecting state assets in foreign jurisdictions remains complex due to disparities in legal systems, bureaucratic constraints, and insufficient international legal cooperation. To address these challenges, Indonesia must reinforce its legal framework, integrate advanced technological solutions, and enhance cross-border legal collaboration. The adoption of internationally recognized best practices in state asset management will strengthen legal certainty, mitigate financial risks, and ensure compliance with global governance principles. This article contributes to the legal discourse by analyzing the complexities of state asset management in an increasingly interconnected world and proposing regulatory and institutional reforms to enhance its effectiveness.

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

Advances in artificial intelligence technology (AI) have created new challenges for the legal framework in the field of labour law. The approval of the European Union (EI) AI Act in March13th, 2024, aimed at ensuring the safety and ethical use of AI systems in the EU, has made a significant step forward in regulating AI. This article explains the development of law-making process of the EU AI Act and finds a connection between the EU AI Act and labour market which that law might be the grand design to regulate many aspects of labour side. It then critically evaluates the development of law in Indonesia which is far for expectation to regulate AI within its legal system. Although the challenges and constraints of AI in the labour market have already occurred and are being felt, the task of building up the right legal framework for the needs of workers in the labour market is already at hand. Finally, this paper underlines the importance of comprehensive regulation of AI within legal system for ensuring business climate, employment, data privacy, transparency, ethics, and accountability. However, AI Act in Indonesia remains vague, especially in the labour market sector, and does not regulate AI in its legal system. Therefore, AI Act is necessary for Indonesia to overcome current and future challenges on labour market.
