Abstract

Indonesia is a former Dutch colony which declared its independence on August 17, 1945. However, it was not internationally recognised until December 27, 1949, when the Netherlands formally transferred the sovereignty of the Dutch East Indies to a new political entity called ‘Indonesia’ at the Round Table Conference in the Hague. This occasion marked the political union of all diverse kingdoms and regional communities spread over the Indonesian archipelago. This step has been frequently associated with the global spirit of many other countries around the world to gain independence from Western colonisers and with the international principle of self-determination. However, the relationship between the central government in Java and some regional communities has been fluctuating for decades after the independence. This paper examines three conflicts over the rights of self-determination in in three areas in Indonesia by reflecting on the historical background of Indonesia’s struggle for self-determination. Besides that, it also seeks to demonstrate the way Indonesia’s integrity has been negotiated to accommodate internal and external forces to achieve self-determination from international law perspective. Furthermore, this paper also contributes to the scholarly discussion on the concept of self-determination and the conflicts that it caused in Indonesian context, while also proposing some insights into the efforts to preserve Indonesia’s unity and integrity for years to come.

Abstract

This paper investigates the Indonesian Timber Legality Assurance (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu, SVLK) and its nature to produce legal wood under the European Union-Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (EU-FLEGT) system. It is intended to ensure the exporting states control over legality of wood under new forest governance and its enforcement in EU market. Using a critical legal analysis, this paper argued that the SVLK could present legality in a formalistic way, but it could not guarantee the substantial meaning of benefit for sustainability, participatory and community. Therefore this paper contributes to provide a better understanding of the application of SVLK in Indonesia, along with reflecting some recommendations, as developing SVLK for domestic market, and replicating it into other exporting natural resources products. The comprehensive approaches for enforcing SVLK can lead to accelerate sustainability in more practical and grounded sense, to improve forest governance and welfare for local people therein.

Abstract

This study delves into mediation as a means of dispute resolution, particularly outside the courtroom, contrasting with the prevalent use of courts, especially in land dispute cases. It highlights mediation as a direct process with enduring positive effects, aiming to achieve peace and mutually beneficial solutions while ensuring no party is harmed. The resulting agreement from mediation holds legal weight and is considered final, bolstered by a peace agreement signed between the involved parties and the mediator. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of mediation as a conflict resolution tool outside the courtroom, culminating in a documented agreement. Employing normative legal research methods with a statutory approach, the study meticulously examines all relevant laws and regulations. Data collection utilizes literature review methods, providing a comprehensive reference base to support research on the role of mediators in dispute resolution. The gathered information is systematically compiled and analyzed using descriptive methods. In conclusion, mediation has demonstrated its effectiveness as an alternative to court proceedings in settling disputes. The mediator, acting as a facilitator, helps the parties reach an agreement. The outcomes of mediation, documented in the peace agreement, are registered in court, providing legal validity and conclusiveness to the agreed-upon terms.

Abstract

Consumer protection has become a major challenge in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Ghana, facing gaps in information, bargaining power, and access to legal justice, especially in the context of technological development and globalization. This research seeks to evaluate the comparison in the area of consumer protection law between Indonesia, Vietnam, and Ghana and what legal reforms can be adopted in the case of Indonesia from best practices in Vietnam and Ghana. The study is a normative legal research in which the conceptual and the regulatory approaches are utilized to assess the laws on consumers in Indonesia, Vietnam, Ghana, and by examining of different legal documents i.e. primary, secondary, and tertiary sources and after that employing descriptive qualitative analysis on the data. The results show that countries, including Indonesia, Vietnam, and Ghana vary widely across and between themselves regarding the nature of the laws, the supervision exercised, and even the enforcement of the laws. Indonesia is guided by the Consumer Protection Law (UUPK) with BPKN and BPSK as the overseeing bodies, while Vietnam is guided by the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights (LOPCR) which is enforced by the VCCA. Ghana which is at the moment developing a Consumer Protection Act is guided by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) in enforcing product supervision. All the three countries have a low consumer population even where the law is enforced and this has developed into a problem. In making practices and market interactions in Indonesia more transparent, it could apply solutions from Vietnam on information sharing and electronic dispute resolution and also consolidate the position of BPKN as it was done in Ghana in order to afford more efficient control over and defense of a digital market place against illicit activities

Abstract

The burning of the Quran, widely regarded as the holy book of Islam, has sparked significant outrage and debate across various European Union states, particularly in Sweden. This provocative act raises critical questions about the balance between individual freedom of expression and the respect for religious beliefs. The European Union, through its commitment to democratic principles, often upholds freedom of expression as a fundamental right. However, this raises the issue of whether such expressions can rightfully include acts that are deeply offensive to large segments of the population, particularly religious communities. This paper explores these tensions within the framework of the development of the international human rights system, providing a nuanced analysis of responses from Muslim scholars, organizations, and associated states. It also scrutinizes the impact of Western human rights paradigms on global practices, specifically in contexts such as Indonesia. This paper found a fundamental crisis of western based of human rights and the lack of sound argument from muslim world to contribute to this lacking.
