Abstract

The case of sexual violence is increasing every year in Indonesia. The current prevailed penalties for perpetrators of sexual violence as stated in the Penal Code and the Child Protection Act are considered ineffective. The public then proposed that the perpetrators of sexual violence should be sentenced to death. The study aims to conduct a comparative study between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in punishing sexual violence perpetrators. This study will look at how the death penalty is deemed appropriate to be applied for sexual offenders. It also explores the prevailed punishments by Saudi Arabian government for sexual violence cases. The study is normative research with employing comparative and statutory approaches. The study shows that sexual violence could be regarded as extraordinary crime as it meets particular conditions. Indonesia opens up the possibilities to punish the sexual offenders with the death penalty. However, Saudi Arabia on the other hand did not impose death penalty for sexual violence perpetrators but rather have a public humiliation as an alternative.

Abstract

This article examines the legal and geopolitical implications of South Africa's unprecedented lawsuit against Israel for genocide in Gaza, brought before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The conflict stems from longstanding tensions between Israel and Palestine, exacerbated during the October 7, 2023 crisis. South Africa's legal action alleges Israel's actions and omissions in Gaza constitute genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention, citing evidence of extensive civilian casualties, particularly women and children. Israel, however, denies the accusations, attributing civilian deaths to Hamas and asserting its right to self-defense against rocket attacks. The ICJ's role as a peaceful dispute resolution forum is highlighted, emphasizing its authority to adjudicate disputes between nations and provide legal opinions. The research employs a normative legal approach, analyzing international law principles and regulations, using a case study methodology to explore the legal complexities of the case qualitatively. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the legal mechanisms governing international disputes and the potential impact of legal proceedings on conflict dynamics.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of the digital age has driven significant developments in payment systems, influencing financial decisions and fostering economic activity. This study explores the use of cryptocurrencies as digital currencies in financial transactions, particularly in the context of investments, while assessing their compatibility with Islamic law. Employing a normative legal approach and a descriptive-analytical method, the research examines legal principles and facts concerning cryptocurrency regulation in Indonesia. The findings reveal that, despite the potential benefits of cryptocurrencies, their usage remains contentious from both regulatory and Islamic law perspectives. In Islamic law, cryptocurrency transactions are classified as haram lighairihi due to elements of uncertainty (gharar) and speculative risks, making them non-compliant with Sharia principles. As a solution, this study proposes a framework for integrating cryptocurrency exchanges with Rupiah transactions in accordance with Sharia economic principles. This integration aims to mitigate risks while maintaining the flexibility of digital transactions, ensuring they align with both regulatory standards and Islamic legal frameworks.

It shows that effective political education can increase awareness and participation among young voters. The findings suggest that these educational programs help first-time voters get involved in the election, making the process more effective and inclusive. The research highlights the importance of ongoing political education to strengthen democratic participation.

Abstract

The principle of self-submission refers to the voluntary acceptance of a specific legal framework, particularly within Sharia economic dispute resolution. Law No. 3 of 2006 expanded the jurisdiction of Indonesia’s Religious Courts to adjudicate Sharia economic disputes, allowing non-Muslim litigants to participate under the condition of self-submission. While this legal provision promotes inclusivity, its practical application remains underexplored, particularly concerning its consistency with fundamental legal principles and its effectiveness in ensuring legal certainty. This study addresses this gap by critically examining the normative foundations and implementation of self-submission in Sharia economic dispute resolution through the lens of Lawrence M. Friedman’s legal system theory, which evaluates legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. Employing a normative juridical approach, this research analyses statutory regulations, legal precedents, and court decisions to assess self-submission's coherence, adaptability, and limitations in Sharia economic adjudication. The findings indicate that while the principle of self-submission is structurally embedded within the legal system, its enforcement faces challenges in judicial interpretation, procedural inconsistencies, and the extent of its applicability to non-Muslim litigants. Furthermore, the study identifies gaps in legal certainty and harmonization with broader national and international legal frameworks. As a contribution to the discourse on Sharia economic law, this research proposes normative refinements and procedural enhancements to improve the clarity and effectiveness of self-submission, thereby strengthening Indonesia’s Sharia economic dispute resolution mechanism. These findings have broader implications for legal pluralism and the evolution of Sharia economic law in multi-religious societies.

Abstract

The research analyzes violations of human rights against immigrant workers at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. After receiving the privilege of hosting the 2022 World Cup, Qatar was faced with the problem of migrant workers, which has become a concern of the world community. Migrant workers who build infrastructure face discriminatory and exploitative treatment, and hundreds of migrant workers are found working on infrastructure development for the 2022 World Cup, where workers are affected by human rights violations by the companies where they work. The problem is due to the existence of the Kafala system, which is considered to be the root cause of all aspects of the migrant workforce in infrastructure development in Qatar through 2022. The research method used is normative legal research with a case approach. The results of the study show that the sponsorship kafala system implemented by Qatar only facilitates the occurrence of modern slavery through the exploitation of the rights of migrant workers. Therefore, the research examines Qatar's actions on human rights violations and the International Labour Organization (ILO) accountability in efforts to influence policies related to migrant workers in Qatar.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of e-commerce has significantly altered the global trade landscape, presenting legal challenges and opportunities, particularly in cross-border transactions. Arbitration has emerged as an effective mechanism for resolving e-commerce disputes, due to its enforceability and flexibility. The intersection between arbitration and e-commerce necessitates immediate attention as electronic signatures, digital contracts, and remote proceedings become more common. This study employed a normative legal approach to evaluate the arbitration frameworks of Indonesia and Taiwan in the context of e-commerce disputes. While Law No. 19 of 2016 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) supports Indonesia's legal system, it lacks specific provisions on arbitration for digital commerce, particularly in international contexts. In contrast, Taiwan exhibits a more comprehensive system integrating its Electronic Signatures Act with arbitration practices, enabling a more significant adaptation to technological advancements. While Taiwan's Arbitration Act does not explicitly regulate remote hearings, the Code of Civil Procedure and Judicial Yuan's pertinent regulations permit remote hearings, video conferencing, and electronic evidence submission, thereby guaranteeing continuity and efficiency, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to this investigation, Taiwan's institutional and procedural preparedness for digital dispute resolution is more advanced. To augment its e-commerce arbitration skills, Indonesia must integrate digital technologies and address regulatory gaps within its arbitration system. The comparative research provides a distinct viewpoint on how both nations might mutually benefit from enhancing legal clarity, effectiveness, and cross-border enforceability within the digital economy.

Abstract

This study critically examines the implementation of the electronic court (e-Court) system in resolving Sharia economic disputes within Indonesia’s Religious Courts, focusing on selected jurisdictions in Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Central Java, and East Java. Introduced through Supreme Court Regulations No. 1 of 2019 and No. 7 of 2022, the e-Court system aims to modernize judicial processes and realize justice that is simple, fast, and affordable. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research draws on data from eight Religious Courts: East Jakarta, South Jakarta, Sleman, Wonosari, Sidoarjo, Surabaya, Pemalang, and Slawi, through interviews, observation, and document analysis. Findings show that while the e-Court system enhances administrative efficiency and transparency, its implementation remains uneven. Urban courts such as Jakarta and Surabaya demonstrate successful digital integration, whereas Wonosari, Pemalang, and Slawi face obstacles in infrastructure, internet access, and digital literacy. These disparities create hybrid practices and raise concerns about procedural validity and data security. From a prophetic law perspective, the e-Court reform embodies the moral ideals of humanization (amar ma’ruf), liberation (nahi munkar), and transcendence (tu’minuna billah). However, unequal access to digital justice contradicts these prophetic values. The study concludes that achieving ethical and inclusive digital transformation requires embedding prophetic legal principles into judicial policy to ensure that modernization serves humanity and justice, not merely administrative efficiency.
