Abstract

Indonesia is the largest oil palm producer. The area of oil palm plantations is approximately 3.4 million. However, this large potential is not part away from legal issues such as illegal oil palm plantations. It is also implied by overlapping regulations and permits. This study aims to examine the policy of illegal oil palm plantations reform and the rooted regulation problem in forest areas during Joko Widodo era. This research relies on a normative legal approach. Data was collected through the investigation of legal material regarding oil palm policies. The results of this study indicate that the overlapping regulation contributes negatively to the reformation attempt. Yet, there are no legal products and policies regarding the dispute settlement of illegal oil palm in forest areas. Repressive implementation of criminal law does not solve the problem at the grassroots. The establishment of Job Creation Law provides new hope for the settlement of oil palm plantations problem by mainstreaming the nonlitigation mechanism, namely administrative sanctions.

Abstract

This study evaluates the legal framework governing State Civil Apparatus neutrality in Indonesia by examining how recurring neutrality violations, political intervention, ineffective sanctions, and the transfer of supervisory authority under Law Number 20 of 2023 have weakened bureaucratic professionalism and electoral integrity. This study employs normative legal research by applying statutory, conceptual, case, analytical, comparative, and philosophical approaches. It examines primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials through qualitative legal analysis and draws conclusions using deductive reasoning. The findings demonstrate three major conclusions. First, Pancasila, constitutional principles, and good governance provide the legal and philosophical foundation for State Civil Apparatus neutrality by requiring a professional, impartial, and politically independent bureaucracy. Second, the existing supervisory framework fails to ensure effective neutrality enforcement because institutional dependence, fragmented authority, and conflicts of interest weaken regulatory implementation. Third, this study reconstructs the regulatory framework by establishing an independent supervisory institution, strengthening legal provisions on neutrality, protecting whistleblowers, regulating digital conduct, and integrating administrative and electoral sanctions to improve bureaucratic integrity, strengthen legal certainty, and promote democratic governance.
