Abstract

Considering that housing is a fundamental human need, the fulfillment of adequate housing constitutes a governmental responsibility. This aligns with the mandate of Article 27 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which guarantees a decent standard of living for all citizens. The government has a responsibility to provide decent housing for all Indonesian people. The absence of legal regulations regarding the limitation of ownership of land rights for residential houses for individuals causes a person to freely and without limits buy a residential house. Through a normative legal study, this research aims to examine the dimensions of the theory of developmental law and its application in addressing legal gaps concerning land ownership restrictions in Indonesia. To answer the problems in this research, the researcher uses a normative type of research with a legal approach to fill the lacuna of existing legal regulations in Indonesia since the object of the research is not yet legally regulated. The findings indicate that the theory of developmental law serves as a highly relevant and appropriate theoretical framework to be further explored and applied in filling the existing legal vacuum related to the study’s object. The problems faced by each individual (especially people of the middle to lower income) to get a decent house are of course the responsibility of the government. This situation is constitutionally mandated under the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The answers to the problems, the researcher will approach the study by utilizing the approaches, in particular the Welfare State Theory of John Rawls, and the Law Development Theory of Mochtar Kusumaatmadja.

Abstract

The international mobility of Indonesian women migrant workers constitutes a global phenomenon that is closely associated with a high risk of human rights violations, particularly due to inadequate legal protection during both the placement process and the period of employment. Labour recruitment agencies play a strategic role as key actors responsible for ensuring the fulfilment of women migrant workers’ rights from the pre-departure stage through placement and post-placement phases. This study aims to analyse the legal framework and the implementation of the legal responsibilities of labour recruitment agencies in guaranteeing the rights of Indonesian women migrant workers employed overseas. This research adopts an empirical legal research method, employing an integrative approach that combines a statutory analysis of key regulations particularly Law Number 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers with a sociological approach to examine the institutional behaviour of labour recruitment agencies in carrying out their legal obligations. The findings indicate that although Law Number 18 of 2017 normatively provides comprehensive regulations regarding the duties and responsibilities of labour recruitment agencies, its implementation in practice remains suboptimal. The primary weaknesses are found in legal education for workers, assistance during the placement period, monitoring systems, and post-contract protection mechanisms, which tend to be administrative in nature and insufficiently oriented towards rights restoration. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening state supervision, integrating inter-agency protection systems, and reinforcing the accountability of labour recruitment agencies as agents of legal and social protection in order to achieve fair, humane, and sustainable protection for women migrant workers.

Abstract

Waste management issues in Batam City have become a critical environmental concern amid rapid population growth and intensive industrial activities. Although the Batam City Government has enacted Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2013 on Waste Management as a legal framework, its implementation in practice continues to face significant challenges. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of the regulation and its legal implementation during the period 2024–2025, as well as to identify the inhibiting factors affecting its enforcement. The research employs an empirical legal method using statutory and sociological approaches, supported by interviews with officials from the Environmental Agency and officers at the Telaga Punggur Final Disposal Site (TPA). The findings indicate that the effectiveness of the regulation remains low due to weak law enforcement, limited infrastructure and facilities such as waste collection fleets and heavy equipment and low public awareness regarding waste segregation and management. Based on Soerjono Soekanto’s theory of legal effectiveness, these constraints are closely related to law enforcement actors, supporting facilities, and the legal culture of the community. This study recommends strengthening regulatory enforcement, upgrading waste management facilities, enhancing public education, and fostering synergy among government, communities, and the private sector to achieve an effective and sustainable waste management system in Batam City.

The liability of a limited liability company's organs is generally limited to the shares held in the company. However, in a Sole Proprietorship Limited Liability Company, management is carried out by the same person, both as Directors and as Meeting Decision-makers under the Job Creation Law. Therefore, in practice, there are many potential conflicts of interest that cause individuals who act as both founders and managers of a Limited Liability Company to be liable for their personal assets, provided that their errors and negligence can be legally proven in the Court where the Limited Liability Company is legally registered.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines whether information asymmetry in digital markets can be understood as a form of epistemic injustice and to assess how the consumer protection frameworks of Indonesia and the Philippines respond to this problem. Research Design and Methodology: This research employs the normative legal research method and comparative approach, with epistemic injustice as the main philosophical, analytical lens. To supplement the analysis, the study utilizes key primary law sources, namely Law No. 8 of 1999 and Government Regulation No. 80 of 2019 from Indonesia; and Republic Act No. 7394 and the Internet Transaction Act of 2023 from the Philippines. Findings and Discussion: Information asymmetry is comprehensively identified as a form of testimonial and hermeneutical injustice that undermines consumers’ capacity as knowers. Normative analysis conclusively shows that both countries are reliant on general legal norms, incapable of philosophically and normatively capturing information asymmetry in today’s markets. In addition, deficiencies are also found in recent regulations, where algorithmic opacity and complaint-handling mechanism remain unaddressed. Implications: The study implies the need for comprehensive reform and proposes that legal development should move beyond broad fairness principles to operationalize specific digital safeguards, and clearer disclosures, along with verifiability and platform accountability standards.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the adequacy of antitrust frameworks in Indonesia and the Philippines in addressing digital market dominance, particularly when benchmarked against the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). This objective is aimed at addressing the literature gap where existing studies have yet to systematically assess how ex-ante regulatory logic, as pioneered in the EU context, can be normatively adapted to the specific deficiencies of Southeast Asian antitrust frameworks. The research employs a normative legal method combined with a comparative approach, analyzing statutory regulations and relevant legal literature, including Indonesia’s Law No. 5 of 1999, the Philippine Competition Act, and the EU DMA. The findings reveal that both countries’ competition laws are inadequate in addressing the complexities of digital markets, particularly in relation to data control, network effects, algorithmic practices, and platform dependency. Indonesia’s framework is significantly outdated, while the Philippines’ law, although more recent, still lacks digital-specific provisions. Aside from normative deficiency identification, the benchmarking against DMA also reveals that the ex-ante approach is more suitable to address today’s digital platform dynamic, which leads this study to contribute a legal development model for both Indonesia and the Philippines, each tailored to their existing normative architecture

The results obtained from this research are that the implementation of Law no. 50 of 2009 regarding every application for determining Islamic heirs must be handled and under the authority of a religious court, in fact this does not mean that the district court is of the opinion that it no longer has the right and authority to adjudicate applications for inheritance, this is because the authority possessed by the district court still has power. law in an effort to adjudicate applications for determining inheritance for Muslims. However, what needs to be underlined is that the difference between religious courts is that when it comes to resolving inheritance cases, religious courts are guided by the complications of Islamic law, while district courts are based on the Civil Code, namely western law.

Abstract

Illegal exports pose a serious challenge to developing countries, including Indonesia and Malaysia, which have high natural resource wealth but are vulnerable to smuggling and illicit trade practices. This study aims to analyze and compare the policies and practices to counter illegal exports implemented by the two countries. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature study methods and policy analysis. The results of the study show that Indonesia and Malaysia have differences in legal frameworks, institutions, and law enforcement strategies. Indonesia tends to adopt a repressive approach with a focus on border surveillance and increased legal sanctions, while Malaysia emphasizes more cross-sector collaboration and the use of technology in tracking export goods. Although both face similar challenges, such as weak interagency coordination and corruption, the best practices of each country can serve as a reference in formulating more effective regional policies. This study recommends that to reduce illegal exports, the need to equalize the standards of export documents between Indonesia and Malaysia accompanied by an active role of joint patrols that are more intensive than just MoUs on paper, and to improve the legality of border markets so that the local economy runs legally. [Ekspor ilegal merupakan tantangan serius bagi negara-negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia dan Malaysia, yang memiliki kekayaan sumber daya alam yang melimpah tetapi rentan terhadap praktik penyelundupan dan perdagangan ilegal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan membandingkan kebijakan serta praktik penanggulangan ekspor ilegal yang diterapkan oleh kedua negara tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi literatur dan analisis kebijakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia dan Malaysia memiliki perbedaan dalam kerangka hukum, kelembagaan, serta strategi penegakan hukum. Indonesia cenderung menerapkan pendekatan represif dengan fokus pada pengawasan perbatasan dan peningkatan sanksi hukum, sedangkan Malaysia lebih menekankan kolaborasi lintas sektor serta pemanfaatan teknologi dalam pelacakan barang ekspor. Meskipun kedua negara menghadapi tantangan yang serupa, seperti lemahnya koordinasi antarinstansi dan praktik korupsi, praktik-praktik terbaik (best practices) yang diterapkan masing-masing negara dapat dijadikan rujukan dalam perumusan kebijakan regional yang lebih efektif. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya harmonisasi standar dokumen ekspor antara Indonesia dan Malaysia, yang disertai dengan peran aktif patroli bersama yang lebih intensif dan tidak hanya terbatas pada nota kesepahaman (Memorandum of Understanding/MoU) semata. Selain itu, diperlukan upaya peningkatan legalitas pasar perbatasan agar aktivitas perekonomian masyarakat setempat dapat berjalan secara legal dan berkelanjutan.]

Abstract

This study seeks to examine and critically analyze the legal protection afforded to online transportation partners in Indonesia and Malaysia, with particular emphasis on identifying regulatory gaps within the existing social protection frameworks. The primary issue stems from the inadequacy of Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower in addressing the legal status of online transportation drivers, as the prevailing working arrangements do not conceptually satisfy the essential elements of an employment relationship as defined under the law. This condition gives rise to legal uncertainty concerning access to social security, occupational safety guarantees, and income protection for online transportation partners. This study adopts a normative juridical approach, employing both statutory and comparative legal analyses. The findings reveal that Malaysia has established a more structured and systematic framework for integrating platform-based workers into formal social protection schemes. In contrast, Indonesia continues to experience a regulatory gap, resulting in heightened vulnerability of workers to occupational risks and restricted access to comprehensive social protection mechanisms. This study concludes that Indonesia might to adapt aspects of Malaysia’s labor policies as a reference, through regulatory harmonization, strengthening the role of the government, and providing sustainable social protection programs.
