Abstract

As a major global producer of palm oil products, Malaysia is familiar with criticisms of its palm oil cultivation, poor agricultural practices and decisions during the planting process. Loss of biodiversity and deforestation resulting from unsustainable palm oil practices are perceived as major setbacks for the environment in Malaysia. However, at the same time as Malaysia stands committed to the palm oil industry and its contribution to job growth and poverty reduction, the relevant stakeholders are creating strategies for sustainable production. Together with relevant environmental laws to prevent and control impacts from climate change, loss of biodiversity and deforestation, environmental impact assessment (EIA) procedures to limit environmental impacts are also being applied. Many legal and non-legal measures to ensure sustainable palm oil production practices have been continuously debated, created or implemented over the past decades. These include certification schemes, penalties for environmental offenses, imposing environmental taxes or incentives as corrective and rehabilitative tools, and contributions to an Environmental Fund, as provided in the Environmental Quality Act (EQA) 1974. Furthermore, any new initiatives must ensure that palm oil cultivation practices adhere to and embrace the principles envisaged in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), and Malaysia Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO), in order to achieve SDGs 2030.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the challenges associated with cadre-based recruitment of the House of Representative candidates by political parties and to propose ideal frameworks for such recruitment. The current processes of political party recruitment are not comprehensive and encounter philosophical, sociological, and juridical issues. Philosophically, recruitment practices and orientations differ widely among parties, with some adopting populist methods and others being controlled by party elites. Sociologically, a feudalistic political culture ties parties to certain figures, promoting a pragmatic approach aimed at winning elections rather than ensuring candidate quality. Juridically, while Law Number 2 of 2011 mandates democratic cadre recruitment, Law Number 7 of 2017 on General Elections lacks clear requirements for nominating cadres, resulting in inconsistencies between the laws. This research employs a normative legal methodology, incorporating conceptual, statutory, and comparative approaches. The study involves analyzing regulatory documents, books, journals, and other relevant scholarly works to explore how legal provisions are implemented in society. The findings indicate that problems in cadre-based recruitment arise from ambiguous principles and orientations in regulations. Future arrangements should prioritize party ideology and orientation, drawing on practices from Malaysia and the United States. It is crucial to establish statutory principles for political party cadre and recruitment, focusing on character, utility, ideology, vote balance, democracy, transparency, justice, and equality.

Abstract

The history of the Indonesian constitution has implemented Parliamentary and Presidential systems at different times. However, in practice it creates ambiguity in system implementation. The presidential system currently implemented is experiencing a dilemma due to regulation and separation of powers which tends to still have a parliamentary nuance. This research is library research that examines and explores regulatory documents, books, journals and other scientific works that are relevant to the topic of discussion. The results of data collection were analyzed in depth and then presented descriptively analytically. This article aims to provide ideas for building a concrete government system based on the shift in power functions that has occurred. This article concludes the need to issue a Law on the Presidential Institution which contains concrete limits on the powers of the President and the DPR. The President's capacity as head of government is limited by the party coalition in parliament. Therefore, it is necessary to redefine the roles and relationships between the President, DPR and political parties, clarify the checks and balances mechanism, and support the effectiveness of concrete and proportional government.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance, and Trade (FLEGT) licensing scheme in Indonesia, focusing on its improvements and handling in relation to deforestation law enforcement. The research method used is qualitative, with an empirical juridical, statutory, and contextual approach. The results of this study indicate that aspects of environmental law enforcement in Indonesia have not yet come to light. The responsible authorities and powers exhibit a tendency to supersede established regulations of environmental law enforcement regarding procedural requirements, remedies, and sanctions. Consequently, reforestation schemes and forestry restoration permits, which are intended to counteract the effects of deforestation, have proven to be ineffective. This ineffectiveness can be attributed to the ongoing industrial forestry activities carried out by companies and entrepreneurs, which lack the requisite procedures for ensuring accountability in environmental restoration.
