Abstract

This research aims to explore and develop an innovative concept of criminal law interpretation in Indonesia through the Rule of Lenity (RoL) approach. The RoL principle, originating from the common law system, emphasizes that ambiguous criminal provisions must be interpreted narrowly and always in favor of the defendant. Within Indonesia’s civil law system, adopting RoL has the potential to strengthen legal certainty, safeguard defendants’ human rights, and reduce the risk of arbitrariness in law enforcement practices. The study employs normative legal research methods, focusing on theoretical foundations of the principle of legality, established doctrines of statutory interpretation, and comparative analysis of RoL application in common law jurisdictions, particularly the United States. The findings suggest that RoL in Indonesia should only serve as a last resort, applied strictly when all existing interpretative methods still leave unresolved ambiguity. This ensures that RoL does not undermine legal predictability while simultaneously upholding fairness in criminal adjudication. The conclusion highlights the necessity of explicitly regulating RoL within Indonesian positive law. Such regulation would provide judges with clearer guidance, reinforce protections for defendants, and contribute to achieving a balanced criminal justice system. Ultimately, the integration of RoL offers a pathway for Indonesia to harmonize its civil law tradition with a principle that enhances justice and prevents potential abuse of prosecutorial and judicial discretion.

Abstract

Digitalization changes transactions that initially had to meet without physical meetings. One example is online social gathering which is the result of this development, where the agreement and implementation of the social gathering is carried out via social media platforms. At the same time, this agreement also creates an agreement, so that online or virtual social gatherings become the basis for its implementation. Even though this transaction has provided convenience, it will also pose risks for participants in the virtual social gathering. This research aims to find the characteristics of online arisan agreements which are based on positive Indonesian legal rules and identify legal protection efforts for online arisan members. The data was analyzed qualitatively after going through the stages of examination, reconstruction and data systematization. The study results indicate online social gathering agreements exhibit a number of distinguishable features. To begin with, these agreements made online can be categorized as anonymous agreements, standard agreements, and reciprocal agreements. This indicates the various forms of online social gathering agreements that exist. Second, the requirements for participating in online social gatherings are usually broadcast via social media, and communication occurs online or virtually, without direct face-to-face meetings. The existing online social gathering agreement is carried out virtually, based on the level of trust that is built between the owner/organizer as well as the participants in the social gathering. Third, from a legal perspective, Agreements related to online social gatherings are regarded as electronic transactions as per the electronic information and transactions law (UU ITE). This indicates that electronic rules apply to this agreement. Fourth, proof of The agreement for the online social gathering can be located using the withdrawal serial number provided by the owner or organizer to the members at the beginning of the event. This is concrete evidence of the agreement that has been made. Apart from that, legal protection for the public, especially online social gathering members, is divided into two. First, preventive legal protection or in other words efforts to prevent legal problems before they occur, which have been regulated in the laws and regulations related to online social gatherings, namely in the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), the ITE Law, and online social gathering agreements. have been made by the parties themselves. This aims to prevent violations and conflicts in online social gathering agreements. Second, Stringent legal safeguarding encompasses penalties, including monetary fines and restitution given in cases of violation of online social gathering agreements. For this reason, legal remedies are available to maintain the security and validity of online social gathering agreements in accordance with Indonesian law.

Abstract

Business competition in the digital era presents new challenges for startups in Indonesia, such as the dominance of large platforms, algorithmic discrimination, and the lack of digital infrastructure. Law Number 5 of 1999 as the legal basis for business competition has not fully accommodated technological developments such as algorithms, big data, and the digital ecosystem. This research analyzes the application of competition regulations to startups in the digital era, focusing on challenges such as market access inequality and the lack of legal education. Additionally, this research explores opportunities such as the use of disruptive technology and collaboration between startups and regulators. With a normative-empirical approach, this research examines the relevance of current regulations and provides strategic recommendations to create a fair and sustainable digital business ecosystem. The research results indicate that revising regulations to be responsive to the digital era is essential to support healthy competition and innovation in the startup sector.

Abstract

Personal data leak cases in Indonesia are becoming an increasingly pressing issue in the digital era. This study aims to analyze the legal responsibility of companies in cases of personal data leaks, identify the main factors causing the incident, and evaluate weaknesses in the existing regulatory and supervisory systems. A normative legal approach is used by reviewing Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection and other related regulations. The results of the study indicate that data leaks are caused by weak security infrastructure, low employee awareness, and lack of compliance with data protection standards. Regulatory disharmony and weak supervision are major obstacles in ensuring company compliance with legal obligations. This study recommends improving data security through advanced technology, regulatory harmonization, strengthening supervisory mechanisms, and educating the public about personal data protection rights. Thus, this study is expected to provide practical and theoretical contributions to the development of a more effective personal data protection system in Indonesia.

Abstract

Lahan kampus yang luas dan tidak termanfaatkan secara optimal kerap menghadirkan berbagai permasalahan lingkungan seperti berkurangnya estetika, potensi erosi, dan munculnya area tidak produktif. Penelitian dan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan lahan kosong seluas 4 hektar di lingkungan kampus melalui kegiatan penanaman pohon mangga dan jambu, yang dilaksanakan oleh mahasiswa sebagai bagian dari program Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN). Metode partisipatif dipilih agar mahasiswa terlibat langsung dalam setiap tahapan mulai dari observasi lahan, penggalian lubang tanam, hingga proses penanaman dan pemantauan bibit. Pendekatan ini tidak hanya ditujukan untuk memperbaiki kondisi lingkungan fisik kampus, tetapi juga menumbuhkan kepedulian mahasiswa terhadap kelestarian lingkungan serta mempererat solidaritas antaranggota KKN. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 90% bibit yang ditanam mampu bertahan hidup dan mulai tumbuh dengan baik selama masa adaptasi awal. Program ini membuktikan pentingnya keterlibatan mahasiswa secara aktif untuk mendukung pemanfaatan lahan dan pelestarian lingkungan kampus secara berkelanjutan. Dengan adanya pemantauan dan perawatan berkelanjutan, manfaat ekologi dan sosial diperkirakan akan terus berkembang, sehingga kampus dapat bertransformasi menjadi ruang hijau produktif serta memberikan contoh nyata penerapan prinsip lingkungan berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Artikel ini membahas integrasi antara ratio decidendi dan obiter dictum dalam putusan perkara pidana di Indonesia sebagai cerminan perkembangan paradigma hukum yang tidak lagi terikat pada klasifikasi tradisional sistem common law. Melalui metode yuridis normatif, tulisan ini menyoroti bagaimana berlakunya Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 1 Tahun 2023 tentang Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana, khususnya Pasal 53 ayat (2), mendorong pengadilan untuk mendahulukan nilai keadilan dibandingkan kepastian hukum, sehingga membuka ruang bagi obiter dictum untuk memperoleh relevansinya secara substantif. Dalam konteks ini, ratio decidendi dan obiter dictum dipahami bukan sebagai entitas yang terpisah secara ketat, melainkan saling melengkapi dalam membentuk struktur pertimbangan hukum yang integral. Artikel ini juga mengaitkan pergeseran tersebut dengan konsep positivisme hukum inklusif, yang mengakomodasi nilai-nilai moral dan kemanusiaan ke dalam sistem hukum positif. Dengan menelaah berbagai konsep, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penyatuan ratio decidendi dan obiter dictum adalah suatu keniscayaan secara yuridis dalam membangun putusan pidana yang adil dan kontekstual dalam sistem hukum Indonesia yang berlandaskan Pancasila.

Abstract

This study examines the protection of retail investors in the capital market using a normative legal approach, focusing on the authority of the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the disclosure obligations of issuers, and the available law enforcement mechanisms. The analysis was conducted through a review of primary legal materials in the form of capital market laws and regulations and secondary legal materials. The results of the study show that the legal framework has provided a broad set of tools to reduce information asymmetry and provide room for retail investors to recover their losses. The OJK has a regulatory and supervisory mandate that includes setting disclosure standards, monitoring compliance, conducting special examinations, and applying graduated sanctions. At the regulatory level, issuers' obligations are linked to accounting standards, audits, and the supervision of supporting professions, so that the quality of information can be tested through several layers of supervision. However, the effectiveness of protection is still influenced by the limited financial literacy and legal capacity of retail investors, the cost and time barriers to litigation, and institutional challenges in supervising an increasingly digitalised market. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the quality of information disclosure that is reader-friendly for small investors, increase the transparency of law enforcement by authorities, and develop more accessible dispute resolution mechanisms, including support for retail investor organisations as dialogue partners in the formulation of capital market policies oriented towards investor protection.

Abstract

This community service activity was carried out to explore and encourage increased involvement of students, local communities, and the government in collective efforts to maintain environmental cleanliness, particularly in areas surrounding the campus. Gotong royong is an important tradition in Indonesia that plays a significant role in preserving environmental cleanliness and public health. However, its implementation is often influenced by various factors that affect the success and sustainability of cleanliness programs. This activity applied the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method as an approach that promotes the active participation of students, communities, and the government at all stages of the program, starting from planning and implementation to evaluation. The results of the activity indicate a significant increase in student and community participation in gotong royong activities. This improvement was influenced by several factors, including greater awareness of the importance of environmental cleanliness, support from the community, support from the local government, and the availability of adequate facilities. Therefore, it can be concluded that students’ contributions in promoting environmental cleanliness and sustainability have a real and significant impact. In addition to positively affecting environmental conditions around the campus, this activity also plays a role in shaping students’ character and fostering a sense of environmental responsibility.
