In recent decades the Southeast Asia Countries have been affected by haze pollution which is caused by human activities in burning land/forest for plantation and/or agriculture. Indonesia is one of the major sources of the haze pollution in the region. The pollution does not stop at national borders only, but also causing transboundary pollution to the neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. As a reaction of this environmental crisis, ASEAN Agreement on transboundary Haze Pollution was signed. The Agreement recognizes that transboundary haze pollution which resulted from land and/or forest fires should be mitigated through concerted national efforts and international cooperation. As of June 2013, all the ASEAN countries, except Indonesia, have ratified the agreement. However Indonesia hopes to ratify the haze agreement by 2015. The study is normative legal reserach with Statute Approach and Case Approach. By using the qualitative descriptive method, this study will discribe the ransboundary haze pollution in details which could be seen in some international laws concerning law of state responsibility as for Draft Articles on State Responsibility and 1997 ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution. The result shows that Indonesia needs to do the action, not onlyin term of how to combat the forest fires with the deployment of personnel from ASEAN, but also preventing issue of it, namely by making the rule of law which effectively penalize the forest burning. Most of these problems can be overcome only if Indonesia ratified the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution.

The research is aimed at analyzing the ICSID (International Centre Settlement Investment Dispute) decision in solving a dispute between Churchill Mining PLC and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia. The case brought to the public attention, because mining license owned by PT. Ridlatama which acquired from Churchill Mining PLC had been revocated. Churchill Mining PLC holds 75% share of PT. Ridlatama and it suffered losses caused by the revocation of its mining license. Churchill Mining PLC filed the case to the local court but it failed. Churchill Mining PLC then sought ruling from International arbitration or ICSID. On December 6, 2016, ICSID issued a decision that clearly threw out Churchill Mining PLC claim. ICSID, the World Bank court, ordered the firm to pay a total of US$.9.446.528 in cost to the Government of the Republic of Indonesia. It is based on the evidences that the UK-Australia company did the fraud and had document forgery of coal mining permit in East Kutai, Indonesia. So the firm has violated the Bilateral Investment Treaties between Indonesia-UK and Indonesia-Australia.

In 2017, there are 3,528 cases of violence against women in Indonesia, in which 76% of violence occurs in the form of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a part of discrimination against women, therefore the United Nations issued the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) as a safeguard of women’s rights. Nowdays, sexual harassment has developed into a new form, namely cyber harassment. Unfortunately, in CEDAW, there is no clear and specific statement related to it. This study is a normative legal research with Statute Approach and Case Approach. By using the qualitative descriptive method, this study will elaborate on the protection of women from cyber harassment in Indonesia based on the perspective of CEDAW. The result shows that, as the international treaty, CEDAW does not provide any punishment for the suspect to be prosecuted. Fortunately, Indonesia has Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions to deal with cyber harassment cases. The author recommends the Indonesian government to formulate a new law dealing with cyber harassment. Aside of that, education to the society on cyber harassment itself needs to be conducted by the government to prevent more victims in the future.

Nowadays, many human rights violations related to religion, race or culture exist. In 2018, The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) estimated around two million Uyghur were arrested by the Chinese government without due process of law and forced to accept the political doctrine of the Chinese Communist Party. These actions include physical torture and restrictions on religious freedom. Article 2 of 1948 UDHR stipulates the prohibition of discrimination against race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinions, national or social origin, property, birth, or another status. The paper aims to analyse human rights violations against the Uyghur and legal efforts to protect freedom of human rights for Uyghur in China. Human Rights have been fully regulated by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). By using statutory and case approach, the result shows that the actions taken by the Chinese government have violated legal provisions including the Declaration and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The government of China is also failing to uphold its responsibility to protect.

By using qualitative descriptive method, the study elaborated on how China upholds the minority rights through the implementation of ICERD, and how the international law perspective in the context of responsibility to protect Uyghur case is.

Also, China fails to implement the first pillar of Responsibility to Protect (R2P), where China should protect its citizen from any kind of mass atrocity crimes.

Paralegals are parties that can provide advocacy or legal assistance to the people in a broad sense beside advocates, lecturers and other legal activists. The role of paralegal itself is not intended to replace the function of an advocate. Instead, it is aimed to be able to cooperate in the fulfillment of access to justice for the society, especially the people who are poor and other vulnerable groups. In Indonesia, paralegal position is a voluntary activity in conducting empowerment process in the society. The beginning of this article will invite and provide understanding to readers to understand the definition and comprehension of paralegals, types, and their important role for the fulfillment of access to justice which is one of the most basic parts of human rights. Beside preparing a law-conscious society, paralegals also provide human rights protection to people who are having problems with law, until the stage of investigation in the police office. The villagers trained will get certification and verified by the government. The society service uses educational methods or approaches that are oriented to problem solving process using the pattern of education elements conducted systematically, directed and planned with the active participation of individuals, groups and society as a whole to find ways to solve problems faced by the society by paying attention to the surrounding socio-economic and local cultural factors. This approach is considered to be able to move the society dynamically towards progress as expected. Meanwhile, being participative is an approach that emphasizes on the efforts to increase the participation of the society or individuals directly in various processes and implementation of programs. The results of the service program are demonstrated with the establishment of a paralegal society, increased awareness and knowledge of the society on their rights in the field of law

The Yemen war is a continuous conflict that first occurred in 2015. The war, known as the Yemen Civil War, involves two factions: Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi leading the Yemen government, and the armed Houthi movement, along with their supporters and allies. Both claim to be the official government of Yemen. Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, who have controlled large parts of northern Yemen since 2014, have continued to carry out cross-border incursions into Saudi Arabia and are pressing for an offensive to seize Yemen's gas-rich Marib region. Already more than 100,000 people have died in Yemen's civil war, most of them civilians, because too many people have died in the civil war, so there is a need for legal protection. The purpose of this study is to find out how the protection of the people who are in conflict countries, especially the civil war in Yemen, is according to the perspective of international law. This study used a normative legal research method with a statute approach and a case approach to be easier to examine what is being studied, namely how to protect people living in conflicted countries from the perspective of international law. The results of this study indicate whether there is already legal protection for people who are in a conflicted country and how it is protected according to the perspective of international law.
