Abstract

Indonesia as a state based on the rule of law like any other developing countries, its society is based on patterns and economic classes, overall obedience to the law is not easy. In heterogeneous society formed of groups based on religion, race, language, and wealth, it is one of the most difficult unifying factors in terms of compliance with the law. Law deals with complex social, and conflicting societies apply law as a powerful instrument of regulation and control. Although law acts as an independent agent to facilitate their complexity, with economic approach, efficiency is an ideal model that guides legal practice. It is because most people as homo economicus (except children and the profoundly retarded) in all of their activities has one thing in common, that is the need for efficiency, perhaps efficiency is the nearest we are likely to approach to a universal secular “religion”. Efficiency in law simplifies how law works in different society, especially in heterogeneous communities. This approach does not reduce law to economics (or vice versa, for that matter), it claims simply that law and economics have a lot to learn from one another. The primacy of efficiency helps to harmonize the practice of law with social practices. When such law exists, it does function as a social tool aiming at the promotion of economic efficiency that goes well with other social practices.

Abstract

This study is driven by the rapid expansion of the global cosmetics trade, which necessitates the alignment of national regulations with international legal standards, particularly in relation to skincare product safety. The objective of this research is to examine Indonesia’s administrative regulations on skincare safety, compare them with those of selected East Asian countries, and evaluate their conformity with international legal frameworks. Employing a qualitative approach, this study utilizes descriptive-comparative analysis of national legal instruments, international standards, and relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that Indonesia has adopted the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD) harmonization framework; however, its implementation continues to encounter challenges in areas such as regulatory oversight, bureaucratic processes, and technical capacity. In comparison with Japan, South Korea, and China, Indonesia’s regulatory framework remains less integrated. The study concludes that strengthening institutional capacity and enhancing regulatory harmonization are essential to achieving greater alignment with the WTO’s Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) principles and other international standards.

Abstract

The difficulty faced by low-income communities in obtaining adequate housing remains a major challenge for social policy in Indonesia. The Tapera program, intended to support housing finance, has sparked controversy as its mandatory contribution scheme has proven ineffective based on empirical data. The recent Constitutional Court decision abolishing mandatory participation has brought significant changes to the design of national housing policy. Through normative legal research employing statutory, judicial, and international comparative approaches, this study finds that the state remains constitutionally obligated to guarantee the right to housing for low-income citizens. The Tapera policy must be transformed into a more equitable, transparent, and participatory system in line with the principles of social justice and international legal standards.

Abstract

Trade between Indonesia and the United States plays a strategic role in maintaining economic stability in the Indo-Pacific region. The change in the joint tariff policy, especially when the US tariff is set at 32% and then lowered to 19%, reflects the complex dynamics between national economic interests and obligations of International Law (IL). This paper is a law that the Indonesian government can use to respond to United States (US) retaliatory tariffs and also review its compliance with international trade principles, such as Most Favored Nation (MFN), National Treatment (NT), It was a negotiation of goodwill within the framework of the World Trade Organization (WTO), General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994. This study was normative by a conceptual and comparative approach to International Law (IL). The data was obtained through a literature study of legislation rules, scientific journals, and official statements of the public. Research results show that the application of reciprocal tariffs in the United States (US) has the potential to violate the principle of non-discrimination and development in bilateral trade. The bilateral settlement through diplomacy is considered the most effective step in maintaining trade stability while protecting the legitimacy of Indonesian law at the international level, emphasizing the importance of a balance between personal protection and compliance with international law in trade formulation. The improvement of law-based economic diplomacy and institutional coordination is key to ensuring that Indonesia's tariff policy remains balanced, credible, and sustainable
