Abstract

Health criminal law policies are important in maintaining community welfare. Complex issues involve law enforcement against illegal drugs, alcohol, smoking, and mental health problems, with ethical considerations regarding the use of punishment versus rehabilitation. The aim of this research is to analyze the integration of a restorative justice orientation in health criminal law policy and evaluate its impact on the effectiveness of law enforcement in protecting public health, as well as identifying obstacles and challenges in its implementation in Indonesia. This research uses a document analysis approach to examine legislation related to health criminal law and the concept of restorative justice, as well as a qualitative approach in data analysis to formulate health criminal law policies based on restorative justice from various legal documents and relevant literature. The research results show that the Restorative Justice Orientation can be integrated into health criminal law policies with various positive impacts, including recovery in dealing with public health violations, rehabilitation without unnecessary criminalization, community involvement, victim recovery, community safety, public education, and cross-border cooperation. sector. Evaluation and revision of policies is important to create a fairer and more sustainable legal system. However, the implementation of this policy in Indonesia has complex challenges such as low public awareness of the concept of restorative justice, limited resources, unequal access to health services, changes in legal culture, injustice, and the role of legal institutions that must be changed

Abstract

Makalah berjudul  Quo Vadis Kebijakan Penyusunan Kabinet  Koalisi  Dimasa Yang Akan Datang Tinjauan Filosofis, Historis, Teoritis Dan Yuridis ini bertujuan untuk menjawab dua permasalahan yaitu: 1. Bagaimana bentuk kabinet yang sudah dilakasanakan pemerintahan Jokowi saat ini? 2. Bagaiamana formulasi kedepan  kabinet yang seharusnya  dibentuk oleh Pemerintah Presiden Jokowi? Metode penelitian  menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan koseptual, historis dan perundang-undangan. Hasilnya adalah bahwa bentuk kabinet yang sudah dilakasanakan pemerintahan Jokowi saat ini, masih tetap mengakomodir kepentingan partai politik pengusung pada saat Pemilu Presiden tahun 2009, serta masih belum mandiri dan profesional dalam menyusun para mentri, sehingga masih ditemukan  kelemahan dan adanya menteri yang tidak berperan dan menjalankan tugas secara profesioanal. Kedua bahwa penyusunan  kabinet yang seharusnya  dibentuk oleh Pemerintahan Presiden Jokowi jilid kedua adalah mengabaikan tekanan partai pengusung yang tergabung dalam partai koalisi, sehingga formulasi kabinet yang terbentuk kedepan adalah profesional dan hanya presiden saja yang berhak menyusun.

Abstract

Dual office-holding by ministers and deputy ministers constitutes a legal issue with direct consequences for the quality of governance in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the legal provisions prohibiting dual positions under Article 23 of Law No. 39 of 2008 on State Ministries, and to examine the legal consequences arising from violations thereof by ministers and deputy ministers. A normative legal research method is employed, utilizing a statutory approach and a conceptual approach, grounded in the theoretical framework of good governance and clean government. The findings reveal that Article 23 expressly prohibits ministers from concurrently serving as commissioners or directors of companies, other state officials, or leaders of organizations funded by the state budget, with the prohibition extended to deputy ministers through Constitutional Court Decision No. 128/PUU-XXIII/2025. Violations of this provision result in three dimensional legal consequences: administratively, through the nullity of legal acts and dismissal from office under the contrarius actus principle; civilly, through liability for unlawful governmental acts (onrechtmatige overheidsdaad); and criminally, through potential corruption liability where violations are accompanied by the abuse of authority causing financial losses to the state. This study concludes that the absence of explicit sanction provisions in the State Ministries Law undermines enforcement effectiveness, and therefore recommends an amendment to Article 23 incorporating explicit sanctions, strengthened institutional oversight, and mandatory periodic disclosure of positions held.

Abstract

The development of the digital economy and the complexity of modern business transactions call for more flexible forms of contracts than the traditional ones found in the Civil Code. This phenomenon has given rise to the concept of hybrid contracts, namely agreements that combine several types of contracts into a single legal relationship. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal basis of hybrid contracts in Indonesian civil law and to propose a conceptual reconstruction aimed at balancing business flexibility and legal certainty. The method employed is normative legal research using legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings indicate that the principle of freedom of contract (Article 1338 of the Civil Code) provides legal space for hybrid contracts; however, the absence of clear normative boundaries creates potential uncertainty in legal enforcement. Conceptually, this article develops three reconstructive principles: (1) the principle of functionality, which prioritizes the economic purpose of the contract in interpretation; (2) the principle of proportionality, which limits freedom of contract to prevent structural imbalances; and (3) the principle of adaptive certainty, which demands that legal norms remain clear while remaining responsive to technological developments. Comparatively, the Dutch preponderance test and the “intention of the parties” approach in English common law are adapted as models for Indonesian judges. The findings indicate that the absence of formal interpretation guidelines leads to inconsistencies in case law. This study recommends the establishment of guidelines for interpreting hybrid contracts, minimum standard clauses for platform contracts, and reforms to the Civil Code that accommodate modern contracts as concrete steps toward an adaptive and equitable contract law ecosystem. Keywords: hybrid contract, civil law, business flexibility, legal certainty, freedom of contract

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how cultural legal values are internalized among elementary school students in Kuala Lumpur, and how this process strengthens their awareness of cultural heritage rights as part of their national identity. Research Methodology: The study was conducted at Sanggar Bimbingan Pantai Dalam through an International Community Service Program involving 15 upper-grade elementary students (aged 10–12). It applied an educative-participatory approach within a juridical-normative framework, using culture-based learning materials, multimedia resources, discussions, simulations, and case exercises. Data were obtained from pre- and post-tests, complemented by observations and reflections, and analyzed descriptively to assess changes in learning outcomes. Results: The findings indicate an improved understanding of cultural heritage and greater awareness of cultural rights, reflected in higher post-test scores and more active participation. Students also demonstrated stronger moral responsibility for cultural preservation and increased tolerance in a multicultural context. Conclusions: This study concludes that integrating cultural legal values through structured classroom learning, co-curricular activities, and teacher role modeling effectively strengthens students’ knowledge and character development. This approach supports the development of legal awareness and respect for cultural diversity from an early age. Limitations: This study had a small sample size, single-institution focus, absence of a control group, brief implementation period, and evaluation methods that emphasized cognitive outcomes. Future research should involve broader samples, longitudinal designs, control groups, and more comprehensive assessment tools. Contributions: This study contributes to legal, multicultural, and character education by offering a practical model for value-based cultural learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal implications of the use of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) in journalistic practice against three forms of press violations, namely defamation, the spread of misinformation/disinformation, and privacy violations, as well as to assess the extent of the readiness of the applicable legal framework in overcoming these problems. The development of generative AI in journalism presents new challenges in criminal law, especially regarding accountability for news content generated automatically without direct human intervention. This study uses a normative-doctrinal approach combined with a comparative analysis of the Indonesian criminal law framework and the latest international regulatory developments. The results of the study show that conventional criminal accountability principles, especially the elements of mens rea and actus reus, are not fully compatible with the characteristics of AI which is autonomous, thus causing legal gaps and regulatory uncertainty. To overcome these problems, this study offers three strategic solutions, namely: (1) modification of the corporate accountability model by expanding the definition of criminal offenders, (2) the application of limited strict liability (limited strict responsibility) for digital platforms, and (3) the establishment of a risk-based algorithmic supervision mechanism involving various stakeholders. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the development of criminal law in the digital era while offering practical recommendations for policymakers in formulating an AI accountability system that is adaptive, balanced, and supports modern journalism innovation.

Abstract

The Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia has issued Circular Letter Number 2 of 2023, stipulating that courts are not permitted to approve requests for the registration of interfaith marriages. However, it is crucial to highlight the principle that Indonesian judges must exercise their duties independently, devoid of external interference. Judges are expected to uphold qualities of independence, impartiality, fairness, and responsibility, refraining from influencing the provision of material to litigants to prevent moral distortion. This article aims to elucidate the role of the aforementioned circular letter concerning the judge's independence within the judicial process in Indonesia. The research methodology employed involves normative legal methods, coupled with a structured analysis of legal norms and principles. The findings of the research underscore two key points. Firstly, the urgency of regulating the determination of marriages involving different religions and beliefs in the judicial process is rooted in the objective of aligning court resolutions with the philosophical underpinnings of the Indonesian nation. Secondly, it is emphasized that the Circular Letter in question does not hold binding authority for judges in the adjudication of cases, particularly those involving interfaith marriages. The autonomy of judicial power, as enshrined in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and further detailed in Law Number 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power, affords judges the freedom to independently decide on cases brought before them. This regulatory framework underscores the imperative of preserving the unfettered discretion of judges in their adjudicative functions.

Abstract

The diversion provisions in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law urgently require re-examination following as the requirement limiting diversion to offenses carrying a maximum threat under seven years in Article 7 differs from Article 2 of the SPPA Law. When evaluated against the fundamental principles of juvenile justice, this regulatory disparity creates legal inconsistency and potential injustice toward children in conflict with the law. Through philosophical, juridical, sociological, penological analyses and comparative law, this study highlights the urgency of reformulating these diversion arrangements to ensure that the best interests of the child are prioritized through equitable access to diversion at every stage of legal proceedings. Ultimately, realizing restorative and rehabilitative justice rather than retributive punishment is an imperative duty for law enforcement officers, making regulatory harmonization essential to guarantee legal certainty and judicial consistency in line with national criminal law reform. This study employs an empirical juridical research method and draws upon both primary and secondary data. The statutory requirement limiting diversion to offenses threatened with under seven years of imprisonment should be eliminated. Instead, diversion shoul Publis be established as a legal right available to every child in conflict with the law at all stages of the criminal justice process investigation, prosecution, and trial. The decision to grant diversion should be based on case-by-case guidelines evaluating the motive, the degree of harm, and the victim-offender dynamic, rather than abstract statutory penalty caps.
