Abstract

Global civilization is experiencing an unprecedented ecological crisis․ It is driven by extractive economic activity and projects such as the Merauke National Calculated Project in Indonesia‚ which promotes the establishment of an intensive sugarcane plantation covering an area of 560‚000 ha‚ posing a threat to biodiversity and Indigenous peoples․ The PGI (Communion of Churches in Indonesia) opposed the project‚ with ecotheological reasons․ Islamic thought also sees it as a duty to take care of nature‚ in the concept of khalifatul fil ardl (stewards of the earth). Morality and spirituality are incomplete without legal aspects․ Green victimology is introduced in this paper‚ a victim-centered legal study․ Green victimology goes beyond human victims and includes non-humans (trees‚ rivers‚ and other plants and animals) and ecosystems as victims of environmental crime․ Green victimology adopts normative legal research methods‚ using a theological-philosophical approach. The paper cites the Law Number 32/2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management‚ Job Creation Law‚ PGI documents‚ Greenpeace reports‚ and classical theological sources of Islam and Christianity․ The results show that ecotheology provides the moral awareness and spiritual responsibility, while green victimology offers legal instruments and a victim-centered approach to tackle environmental destruction. Implementing this integration faces structural barriers in Indonesia's positivist legal system. This article, therefore, proposes an operational framework for granting religious communities locus standi in environmental advocacy and extends the ecological justice framework to global contexts. This article recommendation combined both ecotheology and green victimology to construct an ecological justice framework for addressing the spiritual and structural dimensions of environmental violence in Indonesia and beyond.

Abstract

This study delves into the persistent challenges of corruption in Indonesia despite extensive anti-corruption initiatives. By examining the multifaceted modus operandi across various institutions, we uncover the menacing threat corruption poses to the stability of the nation. The analysis explores structural, cultural, instrumental, and management barriers hindering anti-corruption measures, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive reforms. Drawing insights from Law Number 31 of 1999, which classifies corruption actions, including bribery and conflicts of interest, this research underscores the gravity of corruption's impact on state finances, politics, and the economy. To effectively combat this menace, we propose a strategic approach, including the redesign of public services, enhanced transparency, oversight, and sanctions, and the empowerment of mechanisms supporting corruption prevention. In light of these findings, the study advocates for an integrated law enforcement strategy, international cooperation, and harmonized regulations to strengthen Indonesia's resolve in anti-corruption efforts. The proposed reforms aim not only to curb corruption but also to fortify the stability of the nation, reflecting a crucial step towards a more transparent and accountable governance system.

Abstract

Corruption within the judiciary poses a systemic threat to the rule of law, undermining legal certainty, institutional credibility, and public trust. Although anti-corruption strategies have traditionally relied on criminal enforcement and external supervision, persistent cases involving judges indicate structural vulnerabilities that remain insufficiently addressed. This article examines judicial human resource architecture as an integrity-by-design framework for preventing corruption within the judicial environment. The study aims to analyze how recruitment systems, promotion and mutation mechanisms, performance evaluation, career development, intrinsic motivation, and organizational fairness influence judges’ integrity as a structural preventive safeguard. Employing a mixed-method socio-legal approach, the research combines normative legal analysis with empirical data collected from 80 judges through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to test the validity of constructs and examine causal relationships among variables. The findings demonstrate that merit-based recruitment, transparent promotion systems, and fair performance evaluation significantly strengthen judges’ integrity, while organizational fairness and intrinsic motivation function as reinforcing factors in reducing corruption risks. The study concludes that corruption prevention in the judiciary requires a paradigm shift from reactive enforcement toward institutional design grounded in human resource governance. It recommends the systematic integration of integrity principles into judicial recruitment, evaluation, and career management policies to ensure sustainable anti-corruption outcomes and strengthen the legitimacy of judicial institutions.
