Abstract

This article aims to analyze the current practices of academic freedom in Indonesia, driven by the premise that academic freedom is a cornerstone for every scholar with their expertise to seek, explore, innovate, and develop knowledge without intervention from certain parties. This concept is deeply rooted in the freedoms of thought, opinion, and expression in public, which are integral to the framework of human rights. This article is a study employing a normative juridical approach, attempting to examine the relevant legislation and actual circumstances. The data used is secondary data, focusing on various types of literature that explore the complex relationship between academic freedom, human rights, and democracy. The research findings indicate that in Indonesia, regulations governing academic freedom are enshrined in Law No. 12 of 2012 on Higher Education, Law No. 14 of 2005 on Teachers and Lecturers, and Law No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System. Nevertheless, instances of persecution and dismissal of academic staff often occur on grounds of threatening nationalism or possessing subversive ideologies that ultimately disturb public security. The coordinator of the Indonesian Caucus for Academic Freedom cites several cases attacking academic freedom, such as cyber-attacks, repression of student actions, and criminalization of academics who speak out against corruption and for academic freedom, such as those involving Saiful Mahdi from Syiah Kuala University and Ubedillah Badrun from the State University of Jakarta (UNJ). This article aims to uncover the issues arising in the practice of academic freedom and the alignment between existing regulations and the human rights framework, using a normative juridical method. Academic freedom must serve as the foundation for the development of knowledge for the nation's welfare.

Abstract

One of the most prominent educational institutions that shaped the societal development of Indonesia as of today, would be Pesantren, the Islamic boarding school that spread nationwide. The existence of pesantren has managed to help open more doors in advancing women’s education, but such achievement came with many challenges that put other women’s rights in jeopardy. Discrimination, sexual violence, and the imbalance of power relations cause mayhem to women’s rights, not only in terms of education but also for their religious freedom. This paper provides a qualitative study on the challenges that women faced in Pesantren conducted through observation and study of cases. A gender perspective is needed in order to ensure the protection of women in Pesantren.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the cascading impact of current conditions on the freedoms of expression and religious belief within Indonesia's online sphere, particularly amidst a rising trend of religious blasphemy cases. The dynamic nature of social interactions and discussions in cyberspace has fostered diverse interpretations influenced by subjective understandings of religion, often resulting in disputes of religious blasphemy. Employing a qualitative research method, the study analyses pertinent literary sources to provide insights into the practice of blasphemy laws and their detrimental effects on the freedoms of religion and expression. Indonesia, as a signatory of ICCPR and the Rabat Plan of Action, upholds constitutional guarantees of these freedoms. However, the current application of blasphemy regulations needs reform to better safeguard the rights of its citizens. By targeting laws that prohibit incitement to religious hatred, the legal framework can more effectively fulfill its primary objective of protecting people from discrimination and ensuring their dignity. This research underscores the urgency for Indonesia to recalibrate its approach to blasphemy laws, aligning them with international human rights standards. So that Indonesia can enhance its commitment to protecting freedom of expression and religious belief, fostering a more inclusive and rights-respecting environment for its diverse population.
