Abstract

This study examines the role of social engineering in the rehabilitation of drug addicts within Indonesia’s drug policy framework through a normative juridical analysis. The research evaluates legislative provisions, such as those outlined in Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, focusing on their alignment with social engineering principles and their effectiveness in achieving rehabilitation and reintegration. Findings reveal that while Indonesia's policies incorporate rehabilitative elements, challenges such as limited resources, inconsistent judicial practices, and societal stigma hinder optimal implementation. Comparative insights from countries like Portugal and Switzerland demonstrate the potential of adopting harm reduction and public awareness strategies to enhance outcomes. This study underscores the need for a more integrated, inclusive policy approach to strengthen Indonesia’s rehabilitation framework, reduce stigmatization, and promote sustainable recovery.

Abstract

The BRICS group, made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has become an influential instrument of international law, especially with respect to its promotion of sovereignty and the policy of non-intervention. The paper discusses both the collective and individual contribution of BRICS countries toward the interpretation and implementation of these principles through a normative juridical perspective. The findings reveal that while BRICS upholds state sovereignty and is against unilateral interventions, huge variations between member states remain because of the diverse historical, cultural, and strategic contexts in which they are situated. Case studies, including Russia's actions in Crimea and China's South China Sea policies, highlight both alignment and contradictions within the bloc. While BRICS contributes to the positive promotion of sovereignty and the espousal of multilateralism in global governance, challenges in terms of incoherent practices and lack of cohesion remain. The present research underlines BRICS' potential to lead a multipolar international legal system in striking a balance between state autonomy and collective responsibility.

Abstract

This study explores the legal frameworks, enforcement challenges, and economic implications of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—using a normative juridical approach and qualitative analysis. The findings reveal significant disparities in the governance of IPR among these nations, with China and India leading in innovation and enforcement reforms, while Brazil, Russia, and South Africa face persistent challenges related to institutional capacity and judicial delays. Despite progress in aligning with international standards such as TRIPS, enforcement gaps and socio-economic priorities influence the effectiveness of IPR systems. The study also highlights the dual economic impact of IPR: fostering innovation and investment while raising concerns over access to essential goods. This research underscores the need for harmonized frameworks, enhanced enforcement mechanisms, and a balanced approach to innovation and equity in BRICS countries.
