Abstract

In Indonesia, a foreign arbitral award refers to a decision issued by an arbitration institution or arbitrator outside the country or recognized as such under Indonesian law. This classification reflects Indonesia’s adherence to the principle of territoriality in distinguishing arbitration awards as "international." However, enforcement remains contentious due to courts' broad interpretation of public policy under Article 66(c) of Law No. 30 of 1999. Despite Constitutional Court Decision No. 100/PUU-XXII/2024, the lack of a clear definition of public policy persists, leaving courts to determine its scope on a case-by-case basis. Until further regulations provide clarity, Article 66(c) will remain ambiguous and continue to be a basis for challenging foreign awards. A comparison with Singapore highlights two key findings. First, Indonesia applies a broad and inconsistent interpretation of public policy, while Singapore’s approach is narrower and more predictable. Second, Indonesian courts lack uniformity, as shown in three patterns: (1) awards are rejected for allegedly breaching sovereignty by restricting access to local courts; (2) awards are annulled for contravening Indonesian laws; and (3) awards are refused for endangering national interests. Rather than redefining international arbitration awards, Indonesia needs clearer guidelines and consistent application of public policy to enhance investor confidence and its global arbitration competitiveness.

Abstract

Advertising is a form of communication delivered by business actors to fulfill marketing functions. Advertising is one of the most effective communication mediums to promote a product, so that the product has a high selling value. However, many business actors promise advantages from excessive product use. Often the information conveyed does not match the actual condition of the product. Information conveyed through electronic media, print media and other promotional media must comply with the provisions of the Indonesian advertising code of ethics which emphasizes that information conveyed through advertising must be true, clear, honest and appropriate and imbued with a sense of healthy competition, and not excessive and meet other methods. However, these provisions are often ignored by business actors who want to make large profits through advertising and cause losses to consumers. The problems in this study are: (1) How is the regulation of responsibility for the dissemination of misleading information reviewed from Indonesian laws and regulations? (2) How are the efforts to resolve consumer disputes carried out by business actors over the spread of misleading information conveyed through advertising? By using normative research methods and legal approaches, it is known that: (1) The regulation of the responsibility of business actors for the suitability between the information conveyed through advertisements and the specifications and conditions of the products being traded has weaknesses. Laws and Regulations in Indonesia have not regulated the responsibility of business actors for the spread of misleading information conveyed through advertisements with the condition of the product received by consumers; and (2) Dispute resolution can be divided into two, namely outside the court and in court and there has been no certainty and legal justice for consumers in trusting product information conveyed through advertising.

Abstract

The central idea of this research is to propose an ius constituendum for legal protection of the parties involved in order to prevent disputes in health insurance claim settlements. This study is a normative legal research, employing both conceptual and statutory approaches, with the urgency of legal protection and the ius constituendum of legal protection in health insurance agreements serving as the primary legal issues. The findings reveal that the frequent occurrence of disputes, coupled with the fact that health insurance agreements are often adhesion contracts prone to abuse of circumstances, highlights the urgency of strengthening legal protection. Such protection should be enhanced particularly in the form of preventive legal measures, including regulations that prohibit unfair standard clauses in health insurance contracts and the establishment of a mandatory pre-contractual assessment before the insured signs the agreement. These elements can be regulated through Financial Services Authority Regulations (POJK).

Abstract

The effectiveness of anti-corruption law enforcement in Indonesia is facing a severe legitimacy crisis. This condition is characterized by a paradox between a robust legal framework on paper and its inadequate implementation in practice, thereby eroding public trust. This research aims to critically analyze the central role of judges in determining this effectiveness, with an analytical focus on the problematic interpretation of legal norms and the systemic challenges that impede judicial performance. Through a normative legal approach fortified by a case study, this research employs qualitative content analysis to dissect the legal reasoning in two key 2024 decisions from the Corruption Crimes Court. The findings reveal a diametrically different legal treatment of defendants. On one hand, the court was capable of convicting an individual defendant (a rogue judge) through a procedural application of the law. On the other hand, the court acquitted five large corporations of all legal charges in a corruption case that resulted in significant state economic losses. This acquittal was based on the legalistic argument that the proven act did not constitute a criminal offense. This dualism confirms that law enforcement effectiveness remains sporadic, undermined by a disparity in the professional capacity of judges to interpret the element of “unlawful act,” particularly in complex corporate crimes. It is concluded that without systemic judicial reform to standardize legal interpretation and strengthen accountability, anti-corruption law enforcement will remain blunted when confronting powerful economic actors.

Abstract

This research examines the tension between substantive justice and legal certainty within the Indonesian criminal justice system, which arises from the legal ambiguity surrounding the Justice Collaborator. The case study focuses on the Justice Collaborator verdict in the premeditated murder case involving Irjen FS. Utilizing a normative juridical research method through statute, case, and conceptual approaches, this study aims to analyze how the legal vacuum regarding the Justice Collaborator in the Penal Code is addressed through judicial adaptation. The findings indicate that the Panel of Judges constructed a “parallel penal track” to grant a reward to Bharada E as the Justice Collaborator. This track refers to sectoral legal instruments such as Law Number 13 of 2006 and Supreme Court Circular Number 4 of 2011. Although this practice successfully realized substantive justice, it inherently creates a systemic implication in the form of tension between judicial discretion and the principle of legal certainty, a pillar of the civil law system. It is concluded that the absence of a codified norm for the Justice Collaborator potentially threatens the consistency and predictability of criminal law, which, if not promptly addressed through reform, could risk the systemic delegitimization of the criminal justice system in the future. Therefore, this research recommends the urgent need for a comprehensive codification of the Justice Collaborator doctrine into the Penal Code and Law Number 8 of 1981 to align the needs of law enforcement with the maintenance of the principle of legality.

Abstract

Kejahatan luar biasa di bidang ekonomi menjadi tantangan besar bagi sistem hukum pidana di Indonesia, mengingat dampak yang sangat luas terhadap ekonomi, sosial, dan politik negara. Kejahatan ini melibatkan pelaku dengan akses kekuasaan besar, serta teknologi canggih yang membuatnya sulit diungkap. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik kejahatan luar biasa di bidang ekonomi, perbedaannya dengan kejahatan ekonomi biasa, dan bentuk pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi dalam tindak pidana tersebut menurut KUHP 2023. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kejahatan luar biasa, seperti korupsi dan pencucian uang, sering kali dilakukan secara terorganisir dan melibatkan korporasi sebagai pelaku utama. Korporasi kini diakui sebagai subjek hukum pidana, dan dapat dikenai pertanggungjawaban atas tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh pengurusnya. Meskipun regulasi hukum sudah mengakomodasi hal ini, tantangan dalam penegakan hukum masih ada, terutama dalam pembuktian dan koordinasi antar lembaga. Oleh karena itu, penegakan hukum terhadap korporasi harus lebih efektif untuk menjaga stabilitas ekonomi dan keadilan sosial di Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper discusses the legal advantages of using blockchain technology for notary protocol archives in Indonesia. This research is normative legal research. It uses primary and secondary legal materials to analyze the blockchain technology for notary protocol archives. With the development of information technology, notary services are inevitably shifting to electronic services, known as cyber notaries. The Notary Protocol is considered a state document and must be treated as such, stored, and kept authentic according to Law of Republic of Indonesia Number 30 of 2004 concerning Notary. Even if the notary who owns the protocol is on leave or dies, the protocol is categorized as a State Archive and is subject to Law of Republic of Indonesia Number 43 of 2009 concerning Archives. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized way of digital archiving.

Abstract

The Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (Indonesian: Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan, or PPATK) has made several efforts to prevent and combat money laundering and terrorism financing. The main outputs of PPATK are financial intelligence reports known as Analysis Results and Examination Results. To date, these financial intelligence reports cannot be categorized as evidence that can be used by law enforcement officers in investigations or prosecutions. This study uses the Normative Juridical Dogmatic research method, aiming to provide legal arguments regarding the importance of the status of PPATK's financial intelligence reports in investigations/prosecutions as evidence. The novelty of this research lies in how the author attempts to prove that financial intelligence reports can be used as evidence in criminal cases, whereas previous studies have only stated that financial intelligence reports cannot be used as evidence in criminal cases. The findings of this study indicate that PPATK's financial intelligence reports should be admissible as evidence in handling criminal cases, but this is currently hindered by the existing laws on money laundering and terrorism financing. These regulations need to be revised promptly to strengthen the role of PPATK, particularly in the status of financial intelligence reports in supporting criminal cases.

Abstract

Consumers who post negative reviews of products on social media often face defamation claims by business entities. Such lawsuits have had a chilling effect on the right to freedom of expression, which is protected by law. In adjudicating consumer cases, judges have generally failed to apply the concept of common interest as a consideration, despite the potential benefits and awareness such reviews provide to prospective consumers. The common interest concept, as stipulated in defamation laws, can serve as a form of legal protection for consumers who post reviews on social media, provided the reviews are truthful, reflect actual conditions, and are made in good faith. By implementing the common interest concept and conducting its proper assessment, legal protection can be ensured for both consumers and businesses. Consumers would be shielded from unwarranted defamation claims, while businesses would be protected from malicious reviews by bad-faith consumers that result in financial or reputational harm. This study aims to dissect the legal safeguard afforded to consumers through the prism of common interest when confronting social media-based complaints or reviews ensnared in defamation litigations instigated by corporate entities. Employing a normative juridical methodology, the research amalgamates legislative analysis with conceptual frameworks. The research findings accentuate the significance of invoking the public interest doctrine in consumer-related litigation, thereby fortifying legal defenses against defamation allegations.
