Abstract

Cloud Seeding is a recent scientific discovery on weather modification and alteration that aims to enhance rainfall in addressing drought and climate change issues. However, despite this potent discovery there are several legal issues yet to be addressed in the usage of cloud seeding. Hence, the study examines the legal issue arising from cloud seeding. The study adopts a doctrinal method of study, relying on primary and secondary research material, such as laws, journal articles, internet articles, and other relevant research material. The data obtained were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. The study found that cloud seeding is a potential means of curtailing the incidence of drought and desertification caused by climate change arising from harmful industrial and human activities. However, the study also found that several legal issues may arise in utilising cloud seeding, which includes a lack of comprehensive international law regulating cloud Seeding, the inability of the existing laws to address transboundary issues, liability, impose due compliance and sanction of wrong utilising cloud seeding that adversely alter the natural state of the environment. Concerning this the study concludes and recommends that there is a need for a unified global legal framework to ensure the responsible use of cloud seeding and effective regulation.

Abstract

ABSTRAKKeberadaan Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 97/PUU-XIV/2016 merupakan langkah progresif dalam upaya menghentikan segala kebijakan diskriminatif negara terhadap status hukum aliran kepercayaan, yang dianggap sebagai produk budaya di luar kualifikasi agama resmi negara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan metode pendekatan konsep, pendekatan kasus, dan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Argumentasi dalam Putusan Nomor 97/PUU-XIV/2016 ialah bahwa pembedaan pengaturan antara agama dan kepercayaan dalam ketentuan Pasal 28E ayat (1) dan Pasal 28E ayat (2) UUD NRI 1945 memberikan implikasi hukum yang meletakkan agama dan aliran kepercayaan pada konsepsi yang berbeda, dan pembedaan ini juga menempatkan aliran kepercayaan bukan bagian dari konsepsi agama. Di samping itu, adanya kata hubung "dan" yang diapit oleh kata "agama" dan "kepercayaan" menjadi penegas bahwa keduanya memang setara.Kata kunci: aliran kepercayaan; hak beragama dan berkepercayaan; hak-hak sipil.   ABSTRACTThe existence of Constitutional Court Decision Number 97/PUU-XIV/2016 is a progressive step in an effort to stop all state discriminatory policies against the legal status of the indegenous faiths (beliefs), which considered as a cultural product outside the state official religious qualification. This research uses normative legal research methods with conceptual, case study, and statutory approaches. Decision Number 97/PUU-XIV/2016 argues that the different conceptions in the provisions of Article 28E paragraph (1) and Article 28E paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution have implied legal consequences in which indegenous faith is not a part of religion concept. On the other hand, the existence of the conjunctions "and" between the term "religion" and "belief" confirms that the two concepts are equal.Keywords: indigenous faith; religious and belief rights; civil rights.

Abstract

Sampang is an area that has the largest salt field in Madura. But the existence of abundant salt fields does not make it a developed region. Sampang has consistently been a disadvantaged area. Thus, predictably, there are various problems regarding salt in Sampang. This issue needs to be studied, especially on legal issues that hinder the development of the salt industry in Sampang. To answer this problem, empirical legal research methods are used to explore and identify legal problems that occur in the field related to salt issues. The results and discussion in this study revealed that there are at least three main problems that hinder the progress of the salt industry perspective of salt farmers in Sampang Regency. The three main problems are the absence of regional regulations on aquaculture, the absence of regional policies that support salt pricing that benefits farmers, and the absence of policies on the implementation of regional duties in the field of providing facilities and infrastructure that support the development of the salt industry in Sampang Regency.

Abstract

Geoengineering is considered a potential scientific technique involving carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management, aimed at manipulating Earth's climate to mitigate the effects of global climate change. However, despite the potential of geoengineering, there are several legal, environmental, socio-economic, and ethical issues associated with its reliance. Concerning this, the aim is to evaluate geoengineering as an option for mitigating climate change while critiquing legal deficiencies and proposing policy measures for its regulation. Hence, the study adopts a doctrinal method, relying on primary and secondary research materials such as international law, scholarly articles by learned authors, and other relevant sources. A descriptive and analytical style was adopted in analysing the data obtained from the research sources. The findings reveal that the scientific concept of geoengineering is quite promising in mitigating the impacts of climate change through carbon emissions and the management of solar radiation. However, there seems to be a lack of clear legal regulation, leading to a lack of oversight of geoengineering activities, uncertainty about liability for environmental harm, and cross-border issues. Furthermore, developing countries may also face the challenges of adapting to new scientific concepts, given the technical and scientific skills involved, and the inability to fund the geoengineering project. The study agrees that geoengineering has the potential to curtail climate change but concludes that its legal, ethical, and socio-economic challenges should be addressed by the international community through an effective legal framework and the provision of financial aid to developing countries to ensure the responsible application of geoengineering in climate change mitigation.
