Abstract

This study examines the efficacy of Indonesia's anti-corruption legislation in the wider framework of legislative restructuring and its execution. The paper investigates the legal frameworks and regulatory measures implemented to combat corruption, using a normative juridical analysis. The primary objective is to examine the impact of these laws on legal reform, evaluate their enforcement, and highlight the problems encountered in their practical implementation. The results demonstrate substantial advancements in legislative actions, but also underscore enduring barriers in execution, such as legal ambiguities, administrative stagnation, and corruption within law enforcement entities. This study highlights the importance of implementing comprehensive legal reforms and strong policies to improve the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures in Indonesia. Guidelines are given to promote future anti-corruption efforts by improving the legislative framework, increasing institutional capability, and cultivating political backing.

Abstract

Introduction: The issue of recognizing children born outside formal marital bonds remains a critical concern within indigenous communities, particularly when traditional values clash with the provisions of the state's positive legal system. In this context, the Soa Matoke indigenous community has developed its own mechanism known as makasusue, which serves as a means of resolution and social legitimization.Purposes of the Research: This study aims to examine and analyze the practice of makasusue as a customary instrument of legitimacy in the process of child recognition within the Soa Matoke community. The makasusue tradition holds a significant position in the social structure of the community, as it forms the basis for recognizing the identity and status of children born outside of formal marriage. This research seeks to explore how the makasusue mechanism is implemented, the customary values that underpin it, and its relevance to the principles of national law regarding child recognition.Methods of the Research: The research employs a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, soa heads, parents involved in the makasusue ritual, and other relevant parties, as well as participatory observation of makasusue practices in the field. The data are also supported by a review of customary documents and relevant regulations.Results Main Findings of the Research: The findings indicate that makasusue functions not only as a means of social reconciliation but also as a customary legal mechanism that provides social recognition and kinship rights to the child. This tradition represents a concrete manifestation of living law within indigenous society, although it continues to face challenges in its harmonization with Indonesia's positive legal system.

Abstract

The existence of indigenous communities in Indonesia is constitutionally recognized through Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, but legal certainty requires formal designation at the regional level. This study focuses on the process of acknowledgment and designation of the Naulu community in Central Maluku Regency as a legitimate legal entity. The aim is to highlight the importance of formal legitimacy to strengthen collective identity, customary rights, and unique governance structures of the Naulu community, which have persisted amid modernization. The research method is normative juridical, examining the alignment between national and local regulations, including Regional Regulation No. 1 of 2006. The findings show that recognition of the Naulu community is more than mere administrative formality; it is a juridical and sociological necessity to protect their sovereignty from land conflicts and cultural erosion. Establishment through Regent’s Decision or Regional Regulation is a key requirement for their acknowledgment as an independent legal entity in managing resources and adat autonomy. The main obstacles are administrative complexities and the need for in-depth verification of customary land boundaries. Enhancing formal legitimacy is believed to bolster the community’s negotiation position and support sustainable cultural preservation. Therefore, regional governments must commit to expediting this process to ensure justice for the Naulu community.
