Abstract

On November 21, 2023, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, leader of the Fidesz Party, submitted Act LXXXVIII of 2023 on the Protection of National Sovereignty to fight what he described as unwarranted political intervention by foreigners or specialised organisations. The SPO's major task is to "protect the constitutional identity," as outlined in Article R(4) of the Fundamental Law, through the implementation of proposal, investigation, analyses, and assessment in accordance with the law. The European Commission has stated that Hungary's sovereignty law contravenes several EU regulations, including those concerning EU citizens' voting rights, personal data protection, freedom of association, the right to an effective remedy, and the right to a fair trial. This article uses normative legal research methodology or doctrinal legal research to examine Hungary’s approach to sovereignty protection and its interpretation under international law. The analysis demonstrates that .

Abstract

Human trafficking is a complex, transnational crime intrinsically linked to human rights violations, requiring a holistic legal response at both international and domestic levels. The Palermo Protocol has served as an essential international legal instrument; yet, it continues to face numerous problems. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of the Palermo Protocol as an international legislative instrument for the prevention and eradication of human trafficking by analyzing its implementation in Indonesia and the Philippines. The research methodology utilized is normative juridical, integrating legislative, conceptual, and comparative legal frameworks. The results indicate that the Palermo Protocol is relatively effective in promoting legal harmonization and establishing institutional frameworks in ratifying nations; yet, it has not completely bridged the gap between international standards and their practical implementation. In Indonesia, fragmented authority, the limited competence of law enforcement officials, and an inadequate integrated data system present substantial obstacles to victim identification and protection. The Philippines, on the other hand, has a more cohesive legal and institutional framework that makes it easier to adopt international norms. However, it still struggles to do so because it relies on external resources and faces structural problems such as poverty, labor migration, and gender inequality. This study finds that the Palermo Protocol works well as a global standard, but it hasn't done much to lower the number of people who are trafficked. Consequently, improving the protocol's effectiveness requires evolving from a passive, normative framework into an active, accountable, victim-centered legal system harmonized with extensive socio-economic policies.

Abstract

 The non-punishment principle for trafficking victims is recognized in Article 18 of Law Number 21 of 2007 on the Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons, which stipulates that victims who commit criminal acts as a result of coercion by traffickers shall not be subject to punishment. However, this provision does not clearly define the doctrinal parameters of coercion, nor does it explain how criminal liability should be assessed when an unlawful act is committed within conditions of exploitation, dependence, intimidation, or constrained autonomy. This article examines the relationship between criminal liability and the non-punishment principle for trafficking victims in Indonesia. It employs normative legal research by analyzing statutory regulations, criminal law doctrine, international instruments, and relevant scholarly literature. The study finds that the non-punishment principle should not be understood merely as a procedural exemption from punishment, but rather as a doctrinal mechanism for excluding culpability where the victim’s conduct is directly connected to trafficking-related coercion. It further argues that Indonesian law requires a more clearly articulated framework for assessing coercion, including the causal relationship between trafficking and the offense, the degree of the victim’s constrained autonomy, and the evidentiary burden borne by victims. The contribution of this article lies in proposing a more precise doctrinal approach to distinguishing punishable conduct from victimization-driven conduct in trafficking cases, thereby ensuring that Article 18 functions as an effective instrument of victim protection rather than a formal guarantee that remains difficult to implement in practice.
