Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a strategic role in the Indonesian economy, but often face major challenges in business competition, especially with large companies. Unfair business competition practices, such as monopolies, predatory pricing, and cartels, often harm MSMEs. This study aims to analyze the legal protection available to MSMEs in facing business competition, the effectiveness of existing regulations, and obstacles in their implementation. The research method used is a normative approach with an analysis of applicable laws and regulations, as well as an empirical approach through case studies related to business competition policies in Indonesia. The results of the study show that although there are regulations such as Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition and Law Number 20 of 2008 concerning Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, the implementation of legal protection still faces various obstacles. Lack of socialization of regulations, low legal awareness among MSMEs, and limitations in supervision by the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) are the main factors that hinder the effectiveness of legal protection. Therefore, reforms are needed in business competition policy, increasing legal literacy for MSMEs, and synergy between the government, KPPU, and MSME associations to create a fairer and more competitive business ecosystem

Abstract

The advancement of information technology has significantly altered the landscape of crime and law enforcement. Traditional criminal law frameworks, which were designed to address conventional offenses, are increasingly inadequate in responding to modern digital crimes such as cyber fraud, hacking, data theft, and online defamation. This research explores the urgency of criminal law reform in Indonesia to ensure legal instruments remain effective and relevant in the face of technological change. Using a normative legal method and supported by qualitative data, this study analyzes current legislation, including the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP), and identifies its limitations in dealing with crimes facilitated by information technology. The research highlights the gaps in definitions, enforcement procedures, and jurisdictional challenges that emerge from transnational and anonymous digital offenses. The findings show a pressing need to reform criminal law by incorporating more adaptive legal definitions, strengthening cybercrime investigation mechanisms, and enhancing interagency cooperation. Additionally, the research suggests aligning national laws with international cybercrime standards to foster more effective cross-border enforcement. Reforming criminal law is not only necessary for justice but also for protecting digital society from evolving threats.

Abstract

This study explores legal protection for individuals with mental disabilities within the international criminal justice system. While international conventions such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) provide a foundation for the basic rights of people with mental disabilities, the implementation of such protections within the criminal justice system remains limited. Many countries face challenges in providing adequate accommodations for people with mental disabilities during arrest, interrogation, and trial processes. This research examines the gap between international legal principles and their practical application, focusing on the mechanisms needed to support individuals with mental disabilities in both legal decisions and humane treatment. Additionally, the study explores how principles of legal capacity and supported decision-making can be integrated into existing legal frameworks, and the challenges faced in their implementation. The findings suggest the importance of adopting more inclusive policies and special accommodations to ensure that people with mental disabilities can enjoy their rights in the criminal justice process without discrimination. The paper recommends increased training for law enforcement officials and regulatory reforms that are more responsive to the needs of this group.
