Abstract

In 2020, a hoax was disseminated through social media in Batam City, claiming that the captain of the Virginia Ship had contracted Covid-19. This hoax immediately caused significant concern among the residents of Batam City, as the ship was anchored in their city. This study aims to identify the strategies employed by the Regional Police of Riau Islands Province to combat hoaxes, specifically focusing on the case of the Virginia Ship. To achieve this objective, socio-legal research was conducted, which involved in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders from the Regional Police of Riau Islands Province. Additionally, secondary data collected through library research was utilized. All data was qualitatively analyzed. The findings of the study indicate that the enforcement of laws against hoaxes on social media pertaining to COVID-19 news in Batam City has been effective. This success can be attributed to the establishment of a Cyber Crime Investigation Satellite Office situated at the Kepulauan Riau Regional Police headquarters.

Abstract

Education is a vital human right that must be respected by all Indonesian people. Therefore, fair and equitable education must be provided to all levels of society. However, understanding the concept of "fairness" content of equal student citizenship is still up for dispute. Therefore, this article discusses the evaluation of New Students Accepting or Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru (PPDB) with Regional Zoning System in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research in the form of analytical descriptive. Data was collected from primary and secondary sources, including primary, secondary and tertiary legal documents. This data was then analyzed qualitatively. The results of data analysis show that Minister of Education and Culture Regulation Number 44 of 2019 is unfair. This regulation prioritizes the closest location within the zoning area for middle and high school students. However, if the candidates come from the same range, then the selection is based on age, which is considered less important than the student's academic performance. Therefore, student learning achievement should be the main criterion after considering the distance from where they live. This article will discuss the need to reanalyze Law of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 44 of 2019. Factors such as student achievement must be emphasized more than their age in this process. Further efforts are needed to maintain the quality of education and increase awareness.

Abstract

Climate change poses significant threats the continuity and resilience of the existing environment. Through the Climate Resilience 2050 agenda, all countries are expected to contribute to mitigating and limiting the effects of climate change, while reducing activities that have the potential to damage the Earth’s atmosphere. As a country endowed with rich environmental diversity, Indonesia must address these challenges and participate in global efforts to ensure a sustainable and livable environment for the future. This study uses normative legal research methods to analyze Indonesia’s legal readiness in the framework of making policies that can increase Climate Resilience 2050. Using a statutory and regulatory approach, this study finds that Indonesia has legal readiness in terms of basic norms to support policies that increase climate resilience, however, still has a normative void to support the implementation of climate resilience-oriented policies because the regulations regarding the application of basic environmental law norms are overly skewed towards facilitating business activities.

Abstract

The decentralization within Indonesia's governmental system was established to facilitate equitable development and economic growth by devolving authority to local governments that better understand their region's potential and challenges. An integral aspect of achieving development and economic growth parity lies in investment, an arena still marred by disparities across various regions in Indonesia. This normative study, employing a legal approach to legislation, aims to analyze the legal issues influencing investment disparities, which in turn affect the implementation of SDGs in Indonesia. The analysis reveals limitations faced by local governments in providing incentives and support to attract investment due to their lack of authority in pioneering industries, which are also not linked to the local economy. Additionally, there exists legal uncertainty surrounding local government collaborations with external parties, particularly in the context of investment. These findings reflect a regulatory framework in Indonesia that fundamentally diverges from the spirit of decentralization enshrined in the constitution.

Abstract

Blasphemy laws, while deemed important by some in protecting religious beliefs and practices, can have implication of conflicts with human rights. Utilizing comparative legal research method, this research aims to analyze how blasphemy laws in Indonesia and Thailand affect freedom of expression and religion. Findings of this study highlight the interplay between blasphemy laws, freedom of expression, and freedom of religion. This study also highlights the existing legal norms within relevant positive laws in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, that have implication of conflicts with freedom of expression and freedom of religion. Indonesia presents the most complex conflict between these human rights, while Thailand, despite offering greater freedom of expression, normatively falls short in religious freedom due to its preferential treatment of Buddhism and its clergy. Vietnam has the least implication of conflicts, as it only governs the prohibition against profaning a religion, which is significantly different than what constitutes as blasphemy, and allowing little to no room for multi interpretation.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyze legal problems that are hindering the process of intellectual property rights (IPR) transfer within the Indonesian legal system. This objective was achieved by employing the normative legal research method with a statutory approach while, utilizing secondary data. Accordingly, the secondary data used consisted of primary legal sources, including Law No. 30 of 2000 on Trade Secrets, Law No. 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications, Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyrights, Law No. 13 of 2016 on Patents, as well as relevant judicial decisions made within the Indonesian legal system, which enhanced the analysis. This research showed the problems that exist within the Indonesian legal system regarding the transfer of IPR and identified the contributing factors. Furthermore, from the analysis conducted, it was found that the Indonesian IPR legal framework is too complex and lacks harmony, specifically when it comes to the mechanisms involved in IPR transfer and the bureaucratic efficiency associated with these processes. This research serves the purpose of providing comprehensive literature for the development of better intellectual property laws, which are continuously being refined by the Indonesian government to protect and foster creativity in the economy of the country, thereby making it a more attractive prospect for capital. Unlike previous studies, this research placed significant emphasis on legal problems specifically hindering the process of IPR transfer and examined their impacts on actual IPR cases within the Indonesian legal system.

Abstract

Indonesia’s Court of Constitution has issued decree No. 85/PUU-XI/2013, which annuls the Law No. 7 Year 2004 governing water resources. It has implicated the state’s acquisitions over the water resources in particular and in general other resources of natural productions of the common basic need of entire people in the country (as stated in the Indonesia’s constitution in Article 3 of Chapter 33). In Batam city water resources has been administered by PT Adhya Tirta Batam (ATB) for 25 years as an exclusive holder of full concession for sites of water resources. Afterward it carried on by PT Moya Indonesia that was appointed through a scheme of government – private parties cooperation (KPBU) between the Administrative Body of Batam (BP Batam) and the company for another 15 years. The BP Batam then established PT Air Batam Hulu and PT Air Batam Hilir, which violates Batam residents’ constitutional right and human right for water. This research is committed with methods of normative jurisdiction – and so the research outputs will eventually show norms that are recognized by the law. We seek truths through reconstructions of law enforcements over BP Batam’s failures of water management in Batam city. Citizen law suits is one out of some options chosen for legal protection of residents’ rights ‘to rule the state’ that will ensure the existence of current and future generations.

Abstract

Hate speech and terrorism are two forms of crime that are similar in their discriminatory nature. The efforts to address these crimes are of significant importance, as they starkly contrast with the values that Indonesia holds dear and present serious threats to its multicultural society. This study aims to explore the correlation between hate speech and terrorism and to explain how this correlation may assist in the development of a legal framework that better addresses both issues. The research employed a normative legal approach to analyze the existing positive laws regarding hate speech and terrorism, aiming to identify correlations between the two. This normative legal research utilized a combined statutory approach, employing primary law sources as secondary data. The analysis revealed normative issues within the Indonesian legal framework that restrict the criminalization of offenses that fall between the legal definitions of hate speech and terrorism. These issues need to be addressed as an important step in Indonesia’s legal development to realize a safe society for all Indonesians.

Abstract

Media massa dan wartawan merupakan dua sumber daya yang saling berhubungan. Perusahaan media massa tidak profesional berdampak negatif terhadap kehidupan pers. Media massa dan wartawan bagaikan dua mata pisau sehingga bisa dijadikan alat untuk kepentingan tertentu, bahkan melanggar hukum. Media massa dan wartawan yang tidak mengedepankan kode etik jurnalistik mencoreng profesi jurnalis, dan cenderung melanggar hukum sehingga muncul stigma negatif di tengah masyarakat terhadap profesi wartawan. Adapun rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana problematika pendirian perusahaan pers serta urgensi verifikasi media massa dan uji kompetensi wartawan, yang dihubungkan dengan prinsip kemerdekaan pers dan Undang-Undang Pers. Penelitian disajikan menggunakan metode yuridis empiris dengan pendekatan penelitian bersifat kualitatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, terdapat celah hukum pada peraturan terkait pendirian media massa. Bahkan UU Nomor 40 Tahun 1999 tentang Pers sendiri membuka ruang kepada siapa saja untuk mendirikan perusahaan pers, namun tidak mewajibkan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas. UU Pers juga tidak mengatur syarat pendidikan bagi wartawan, melainkan hal tersebut diserahkan kepada perusahaan pers. Regulasi pers terkait verifikasi media massa dan uji kompetensi wartawan hanya berlaku bagi yang mendaftar di Dewan Pers. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan pertumbuhan media massa, khususnya media siber tidak terkendali, bahkan aktivitas wartawan yang tidak profesional cenderung melanggar prinsip-prinsip kemerdekaan pers.
