Abstract

The cabinet structure is one of the important instruments in government, because it determines the pattern of executive work and the implementation of public policy, so that the formation of the cabinet is the president's first step in realizing his vision and mission through several selected people who will be part of his government cabinet. This study aims to analyze the juridical aspects of changes in the cabinet structure of President Prabowo's administration and its impact on governance in Indonesia using normative juridical research methods with a statutory approach. The results show that changes in the cabinet structure by President Prabowo are the prerogative of the President as stipulated in Article 4 paragraph (1) and Article 17 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Article 15 of Law No. 61 of 2024 concerning Amendments to Law No. 39 of 2008 concerning State Ministries. In terms of impact, changes in the cabinet structure have major implications for governance, especially on the efficiency of governance, where these changes can have a positive impact or even a negative impact depending on the work of each institution in the cabinet formed by President Prabowo.

Abstract

The use of DPR oversight instruments such as the right to interrelate, questionnaires and express opinions is not always directly proportional to improving governance. The problem is, first, the monitoring instruments are often used as a means of exchanging political interests. In fact, this nation's energy has been very much depleted, both in terms of time and funds in the proposed monitoring instrument. Second, the implications of the implementation of the DPR's oversight function are no longer within the frame of checks and balances, but have turned into a kind of accountability forum and interfered with the President's prerogative. As a result, the practice of supervision within the frame of Indonesia's presidential system has led to the parliamentary system pendulum. This is indicated by the provision of Article 74 of Law Number 2 of 2018 which regulates that each party (including the President) must implement the DPR's recommendation. If the recommendation is not implemented by the President, then the Parliament can follow it up with the right of interpellation, questionnaire or expressing opinions. If those who do not implement the recommendation are officials within the scope of the Presidential institution, the President must impose sanctions on those concerned. This arrangement is considered to have interfered with the President's prerogative rights and is in conflict with the characteristics of Indonesia's presidential system. Therefore, it is time for DPR oversight to focus on the use of the legislative function and the budget function.

Abstract

Ketidakadilan akses terhadap peradilan di indoneia sering kali menimpa masyarak menengah bawah, yang menghadapi kendala finansial, pengetahuan hukum terbatas, serta bias sistemik.Lembaga Bantuan Hukum (LBH) hadir sebagai instrumen krusial untuk mengatasi hal tersebut melalui advokasi yang komprehensif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran LBH dalam menangani perkara-perkara seperti konflik agraria, hak buruh, dan pelanggaran HAM yang melibatkan kelompok rentan ini.Dengan metodologi kualitatif berbasis studi kasus dan wawancara semi-struktural terhadap 20 responden (termasuk advokat LBH dan klien dari wilayah urban-rural), penelitian mengidentifikasi bahwa LBH menerapkan pendekatan multifaset: dari konsultasi hukum gratis hingga litigasi strategis dan advokasi kebijakan.Temuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun LBH menghadapi hambatan seperti defisit anggaran (hanya 30% kasus didanai penuh) dan intervensi eksternal, keberhasilan advokasi mencapai 65% melalui jaringan kolaboratif dengan LSM dan komunitas lokal. Lebih lanjut, LBH berkontribusi pada pemberdayaan jangka panjang dengan program literasi hukum, yang meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap hak-haknya.Implikasi penelitian ini menyoroti urgensi penguatan regulasi pendanaan LBH oleh pemerintah untuk memastikan keadilan yang lebih merata, sekaligus mendorong LBH beradaptasi dengan teknologi digital guna memperluas jangkauan advokasi. Secara keseluruhan, LBH tidak hanya sebagai penyelamat hukum, melainkan katalisator perubahan sosial yang mendukung inklusi dalam penegakan hukum.

Abstract

Penetapan tersangka adalah salah satu tahap penting dalam proses penyelidikan tindak pidana, termasuk dalam kasus dugaan tindak pidana penggelapan yang terjadi dalam jabatan. Namun, seringkali penetapan tersangka menimbulkan kontroversi terkait kebenaran dan keabsahan prosedur hukum yang dijalankan aparat penegak hukum. Dalam konteks tersebut, praperadilan hadir sebagai mekanisme kontrol yudisial untuk memastikan perlindungan hak-hak tersangka serta menegakkan prinsip due process of law. Praperadilan memiliki peran strategis dalam mengawasi legalitas penetapan tersangka, sehingga dapat mencegah penyalahgunaan kewenangan dan menjamin kepastian hukum. Namun, terdapat kendala dan tantangan dalam implementasi praperadilan yang perlu dioptimalkan agar fungsi kontrol yudisial dapat berjalan efektif dan menjamin kepastian hukum dan perlindungan hukum asasi tersangka dalam kasus dugaan tindak pidana penggelapan dalam jabatan.

Abstract

The Merah Putih Village Cooperative (KDMP) is a flagship program of the Indonesian government formulated through Presidential Instruction Number 9 of 2025 concerning the Acceleration of Establishing Merah Putih Village/Urban Cooperatives. The presence of cooperatives is highly important for improving the welfare of Indonesian communities. This program has strategic objectives to strengthen village economies, provide business resources in every village/urban ward, enhance financial inclusion, and empower local communities. This study analyzes the legal regulatory aspects and their influence on the establishment of KDMP, identifies the challenges, and examines the regulatory framework governing the capital structure, supervision, and legal obstacles in the implementation of Merah Putih Cooperatives. The analysis shows that legal regulations provide a strong framework for the establishment and management of KDMP. Proper legal aspects serve as a vital foundation for the Merah Putih Village Cooperative. This research was conducted using a normative juridical approach through the study of regulations, government documents, and recent legal sources.

Abstract

This research illuminates the role and utilization of academic drafts (naskah akademik) in shaping regional laws (Perda) at the Medan City Government. This study seeks to ascertain the contribution of scholarly articles to enhancing the quality, legitimacy, and harmonization of regional law. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach and analysis of documents at the local level, such as local government reports, legal documents, and secondary data, this study finds that academic manuscripts serve as the scientific and legal basis for each step of the policy-making process. The results show that the Medan City Government, through cooperation with the DPRD and Kemenkumham, emphasizes manuscript hearings as a way to provide philosophical, sociological, and juridical justification for each bill. However, from the study, significant implementation bottlenecks have also been found, such as weak human resource capacity, weak institutional coordination, and insufficient public participation. This means that there is often duplication and delay in legal harmonization. For the successful implementation of regional legislation, governance needs to be promoted on the basis of preventive legal harmonization, capacity building, and participatory approaches. Therefore, academic papers should not just be perfunctory qualifications, but  tools of knowledge-based governance based on evidence, legality, and the people.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) in Medan in providing free legal services to low-income communities. This service aligns with Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid, which emphasizes the importance of access to justice for those who utilize these services. However, the lack of public understanding and information about LBH is a major obstacle. The approach used in this study is a normative juridical approach coupled with an empirical approach, which includes regulatory analysis and interviews with various stakeholders. The results of this study indicate that LBH in Medan plays a crucial role in supporting the community through both litigation and non- litigation processes. Some challenges faced include limited workforce, low public awareness, and inadequate government support. Therefore, collaboration between the government, the community, and LBH is crucial to improve the effectiveness of free services for communities in need.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the criminal liability of Land Deed Officials (PPAT) in the fabrication of land documents as well as the supervision and prevention efforts based on the West Jakarta District Court Decision Number 248/Pid.B/2022. The issues studied include the form of criminal liability of PPAT involved in falsification or manipulation of land documents and the effectiveness of the supervision mechanism by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a case approach, and analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that PPAT can be held criminally responsible if proven to have intentionally participated in the act of authentic deeds. In addition, administrative supervision of PPAT still faces various obstacles, so it is necessary to strengthen the supervision system, increase professionalism, and enforce strict sanctions to prevent the recurrence of the practice of fabricating land documents.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing use of emergency powers by the President in responding to national crises which has the potential to expand executive power and impact the protection of citizens' rights. This research aims to analyze the regulation and effectiveness of the DPR RI's supervision of the President's policy in determining state emergency status based on Article 12 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The method used is normative juridical research with a qualitative descriptive analytical approach through literature study and analysis of statutory regulations. The research results show that normatively the DPR RI's oversight mechanism has been regulated through legislative, budget and oversight functions, including approval of Government Regulations in Lieu of Laws. However, empirically, this supervision still tends to be formal and does not fully guarantee accountability and protection of citizens' rights. Therefore, the DPR RI's supervisory function needs to be strengthened so that the principles of the supremacy of law and constitutional democracy are maintained in emergency conditions.

Abstract

The development of economic globalization has encouraged increased activity of multinational companies operating across jurisdictions, thus opening up opportunities for tax avoidance practices through transfer pricing mechanisms. This practice is often used to move profits from countries with high tax rates to countries with lower tax rates, which in the end can reduce state revenues and lead to injustice in the tax system. This research aims to analyze the legal enforcement mechanism for tax avoidance practices through transfer pricing in multinational companies based on Minister of Finance Regulation Number 172 of 2023 and identify the juridical obstacles faced by the Directorate GeneralTax in its application.The research method used is normative juridical legal research with a qualitative approach through literature study of statutory regulations, legal literature and related documents. The research results show that law enforcement against transfer pricing practices in Indonesia is carried out through administrative mechanisms which include the stages of monitoring at-risk taxpayers, examining transfer pricing, determining fiscal corrections, issuing Tax Assessment Letters, as well asdispute resolution through objections and appeals to the Tax Court.Even though regulations have been updated through PMK Number 172 of 2023 by adopting the arm's length principle in accordance with international standards, its implementation still faces legal obstacles such as limitations in harmonization of domestic regulations with international standards and structural complexitymultinational company.Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations and institutional capacity to increase the effectiveness of supervision and enforcement of transfer pricing laws in Indonesia.
