Abstract

The philosophical emergence of cryptocurrencies is a consequence of the desire to get rid of the authorities’ control of the monetary system, which encouraged people to deal with it for investment or to facilitate the fulfilment of their financial obligations. The research problem is represented through the lack of legislation that regulates dealing with cryptocurrencies in Iraq. There are many technical, legal, and security risks for the use and circulation of cryptocurrency, which must be legally addressed and suitable solutions found. Therefore, this article aims to examine and analyse the legal status of cryptocurrencies in selected jurisdictions through multiple stages, from prohibition to licensing and regulation. This article adopted a qualitative approach to analyse the legal status of cryptocurrency in the selected jurisdictions. The study finding shows that the Iraqi authorities do not have the technical or legal means to prevent the illegal use of cryptocurrencies. In addition, there is a large legislative gap with the developed countries, and lawmakers need to regulate cryptocurrencies by enacting laws to protect people from falling victim to fraud.

Abstract

This study analyses the dynamics of corruption in Indonesia and Malaysia as developing countries, focusing on how corrupt practices have transformed from individual crimes into institutionalized systems legitimized socially and politically. socially and politically. The main research questions include: (1) how the forms and patterns of corruption evolve within the institutional context of developing states; and (2) how written law in Indonesia and Malaysia contributes to both the preservation and control of corruption. This research employs a socio-legal approach using a comparative normative-sociological analysis of anti-corruption regulations, law enforcement institutions, and political practices in both countries. The findings reveal that Indonesia and Malaysia face a paradox in their anti-corruption frameworks: strong normative structures yet weak implementation due to the dominance of political interests, bureaucratic patronage, and limited institutional independence. The transformation of corruption occurs through the institutionalization of patronage and socially accepted gratification practices, embedding corruption within the governance system itself. In conclusion, effective anti-corruption efforts in both countries require structural reforms that reinforce the independence of anti-corruption agencies, promote active participation by civil society, and establish an integrity-based private sector. The law must be liberated from political domination so that it functions not merely as a repressive instrument, but as a means of cultivating public ethics and achieving substantive justice.

Abstract

The humanitarian crisis affecting the Rohingya ethnic group has driven thousands of asylum seekers to Southeast Asia, including Aceh Province, where the majority of the population is Muslim and Sharia law is applied. This situation raises important issues regarding the protection of human rights for both the Muslim community in Aceh and Rohingya asylum seekers. The purpose of this study is to analyse the Islamic legal perspective on human rights protection in Aceh and to examine the dilemma between security and humanity in the handling of Rohingya refugees. The method used is descriptive qualitative study with a normative-sociological approach through analysis of literature, Aceh sharia regulations, and international and national human rights documents. The results of the study show that Islamic legal principles, such as hifz al-nafs and hifz al-insaniyyah, provide a strong basis for the acceptance and protection of refugees. However, their implementation faces challenges in the form of social resistance, limited facilities, and concerns about local security disturbances. The conclusion that can be drawn is that human rights protection in Aceh can only be effective if there is harmonisation between Sharia values, security policies, and humanitarian commitments through the synergy of the government, religious scholars, and the community.
