Abstract

The refusal of medical treatment by patients, grounded in deeply held personal or religious beliefs, presents a profound legal and ethical dilemma, colliding with the healthcare professional’s fundamental duty to preserve life. This study analyzes this dilemma from both normative and humanistic perspectives. This study employs a qualitative, doctrinal methodology, synthesizing a literature review of national and international legal regulations, bioethics, health law, and academic sources published between 2013 and 2024. The analysis reveals three core findings: Patients possess a robust, legally protected right to autonomy and religious freedom; Healthcare professionals are bound by an equally compelling legal and professional obligation to provide care, particularly in emergencies; and a significant tension exists where rigid legal-formalistic solutions (normative) fail to address the underlying humanistic considerations of patient dignity. The study argues for an integrative normative-humanistic framework. This model reconciles the conflict by moving beyond legal formalism to emphasize therapeutic communication and participatory-dialogic solutions. This integration minimizes disputes by ensuring legal certainty for physicians while respecting patient dignity. This research concludes that this integrated approach is essential for providing just, ethical, and humane resolutions in multicultural societies.

Abstract

The rise of dental procedures performed by non-dentists, especially high-risk aesthetic services such as illegal braces and veneer installations, has created significant legal and public health concerns in Indonesia. This study provides a juridical assessment of unauthorized dental practice and evaluates the effectiveness of law enforcement through the illegal veneer case in Karanganyar based on Decision Number 51/Pid.Sus/2019/PN.Krg). Using a normative juridical method with statutory and case approaches, it analyzes the hierarchy and consistency of relevant regulations, including the health law, medical practice law, and the Ministry of Health regulation on dental technicians. Guided by Soerjono Soekanto’s theory of law enforcement effectiveness, the findings show that such practices remain widespread due to inconsistent application of administrative and criminal sanctions, weak coordination among law-enforcement and health authorities, and low public legal awareness. The Karanganyar decision illustrates how lenient penalties and the absence of automatic administrative measures, such as closing the illegal practice undermine deterrence. The study concludes that effective enforcement of health law requires stronger institutional integration and improved legal culture. It proposes developing an integrated sanction system that links criminal rulings with mandatory administrative penalties to enhance deterrence and curb illegal dental practice nationwide.

Abstract

The growing public demand for professional and legally accountable healthcare services, coupled with the limited availability of anesthesiology personnel, has led to the increasingly common practice of delegating anesthetic procedures to nurses, creating significant legal controversy that requires thorough examination. This study examines the legal aspects of the delegation of authority from anesthesiologists to nurses in performing anesthesia or sedation. The method used in this study is normative legal research, which is research using legislation covering three layers of legal science consisting of legal dogmatics, legal theory, and legal philosophy. The results of the discussion found that from a positive legal perspective, the delegation of authority from anesthesiologists to nurses to perform anesthesia within the scope of anesthesia services is contrary to the legal norms or rules as stipulated in Law Number 36 of 2014 concerning Health Workers and also Law-Law Number 38 of 2014 concerning Nursing, which is Lex Specialis for nurses, and Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health. Therefore, the delegation of authority from anesthesiologists to nurses can be categorized as an unlawful act because anesthesia is a special medical procedure that can only be delegated to health workers who have been authorized by the government.

Abstract

Children in conflict with the law constitute a vulnerable group that requires special legal treatment to safeguard their rights and mitigate the adverse effects of criminal proceedings on their physical, psychological, and social development. In Indonesia, this protection is primarily governed by Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, which prioritizes restorative justice and diversion as the main approaches for resolving juvenile cases. This study examines the regulatory framework, implementation, and effectiveness of legal protection for children in conflict with the law, with particular attention to the application of restorative justice and diversion and the fulfillment of children’s rights at each stage of the criminal justice process. The research employs a normative juridical approach, supported by empirical case data from the West Java High Prosecutor’s Office covering 2022–2024 (n = 788), with cases predominantly involving boys. The findings indicate that although the existing legal framework provides relatively comprehensive safeguards, implementation remains suboptimal due to inconsistent application of norms, weak inter-agency coordination, and limited social support for rehabilitation and reintegration. Strengthening institutional coordination, improving procedural compliance, and expanding community-based support are therefore essential to enhance the effectiveness of child protection within the juvenile justice system.

Abstract

Informed consent is a fundamental legal and ethical requirement in medical practice, yet its implementation becomes challenging during the transport of referred patients, especially in emergencies when patients cannot provide direct consent. This study analyzes the legal standing and validity of informed consent in referral transport within Indonesian healthcare. Using a normative legal research method, this study examines relevant regulations such as the Health Law, Medical Practice Law, Civil Code, and the Minister of Health Regulation supported by legal doctrines and literature review. The results show that informed consent remains legally significant in-patient transport because the transfer constitutes a medical procedure with inherent risks. Ideally, consent includes explanations of the patient’s condition, referral purpose, transportation risks, and type of medical transport. However, emergency situations often require implied consent under the emergency doctrine. Challenges include limited understanding among families, time constraints, and inconsistent documentation. In conclusion, informed consent in referral transport is essential for protecting both patients and healthcare professionals. Improving SOPs, communication, and documentation systems is necessary to ensure legal compliance and patient safety.

Abstract

The issuance of a Special Investigation Order by prosecutors to separate cases raises issues because the mechanism is not expressly regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code. This study aims to analyze the issuance of a Special Investigation Order in case separation by prosecutors and examine its compliance with the provisions of criminal procedure law as stipulated in Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code. Separation, namely the separation of a criminal case into several case files to expedite the legal process, is often applied in complex special crimes such as corruption. This study uses a normative legal method with a statutory and conceptual approach, analyzing relevant laws and regulations, scientific literature, and official documents. The results of the study indicate that although separation has gained internal legitimacy through Attorney General Instruction Number 8 of 2023, it still requires clear regulations in the Criminal Procedure Code to ensure legal certainty and prevent abuse of prosecutorial authority. The normative implication of these findings is the urgent need for clear legal regulations to govern the practice of case separation, in order to align with the principle of legality and ensure legal certainty.

Abstract

The increasing number of pesantren and students reflects the rapid growth of these institutions over recent decades. The high number of students in religious-based educational institutions, such as pesantren, with their complex interactions involving children and the need for controlled environments, has been shown to increase vulnerability to sexual violence. This is evidenced by the occurrence of 12 cases of child sexual abuse between January and July 2022, with pesantren being the most frequent location, accounting for 5 cases (41.67%). Using an institutional approach, this paper aims to provide an alternative perspective on improving policies and procedures to enhance the effectiveness of preventing and addressing sexual violence in pesantren. Previous research by Pebriaisyah et al. focused on the power dynamics between kyai and female students in pesantren, highlighting patterns of abuse and proposing sexual education as a preventive measure. In contrast, this study emphasizes policy reform through institutional guidelines to prevent sexual violence. The key difference is that this study addresses broader policy aspects, while Pebriaisyah’s work is more specific to individual dynamics. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data, with primary data collected through online questionnaires from adolescents aged 14-17 during March 2023, and a normative juridical analysis using primary and secondary legal materials to analyze the prevention and handling of sexual violence in pesantren according to relevant laws and regulations. The findings conclude that, first, the authoritative nature of educational institutions in preventing and addressing sexual violence increases the likelihood of institutional leaders acting arbitrarily, often protecting perpetrators and neglecting victims. Second, the institutional approach can be implemented gradually, from preventive to responsive measures, through the development of multidisciplinary protocols and strategies specific to preventing and addressing sexual violence. Ultimately, a comprehensive legal framework will provide a foundation for task forces to act as the primary implementers of policies in preventing and handling sexual violence in pesantren.

Abstract

Purpose – This article examines how Indonesian digital law addresses Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) when abuse is circulated and monetized through platform-based infrastructures. It argues that the present regime addresses end users more directly than platform-enabled circulation and therefore misaligns liability with the digital organization of harm.Design/methods/approach – This article uses normative legal research with statute, case, conceptual, and comparative approaches. It analyzes Indonesian legislation, selected court decisions, enforcement records, and publicly available platform-policy materials, with functional comparison to the European Union’s Digital Services Act and the United Kingdom’s Online Safety Act. Mosco’s political economy of communication guides the conceptual analysis.Findings – The analysis identifies a bifurcated liability structure: individual offenders are addressed primarily through criminal sanctions, while platform accountability remains concentrated in administrative compliance and nominal fines. The DY case documents a direct linkage between paid access, platform infrastructure, and payment mechanisms in CSAM circulation. The analysis further finds that nominal sanctions are poorly aligned with platform scale and that digital access revocation remains legally unstable without explicit statutory grounding and proportionality safeguards.Research implications/limitations – This article is confined to publicly accessible legal and regulatory materials and adopts a doctrinal approach without empirical validation. Consequently, it does not interrogate how enforcement capacity, platform governance mechanisms, or digital access restrictions operate in practice or shape behavioural outcomes.Practical implications – The findings underscore the need to recalibrate child-protection regulation in digital environments through more differentiated sanctioning logics, enhanced audit and oversight capacity, and clearer doctrinal thresholds for platform liability. They further call for narrowly tailored, legally reviewable digital access restrictions that balance effective harm prevention with proportionality and due process guarantees.Originality/value – This article advances the legal scholarship on digital sexual exploitation by embedding a political economy perspective that foregrounds the structural role of platform infrastructures in organising harm. It introduces a theoretically grounded double-sanction framework that aligns turnover-based corporate liability with reviewable digital access revocation for repeat offenders, thereby reconfiguring the nexus between economic accountability and behavioural deterrence.Paper type Research paper
