Abstract

Sexual violence in formal educational institutions continues to pose a serious problem, with numerous documented victims experiencing psychological trauma, academic decline, and violations of fundamental human rights. This phenomenon highlights the urgent need for comprehensive and systemic protection mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to examine the legal protection afforded to victims and witnesses of sexual violence in formal education settings from the perspective of human rights, particularly as regulated under Law Number 39 of 1999 on Human Rights. This research uses a qualitative approach with a juridical-normative method through library research. The findings indicate that legal protection has not been effectively implemented due to weak inter-agency coordination, lack of socialization, and limited institutional resources. In many cases, the institutional culture prioritizes reputation over justice, resulting in closed mediation processes that ignore victims' rights. Educational services are also often partial and unsustainable, further aggravating victim trauma. The study concludes that legal protection in educational settings still deviates from human rights principles, necessitating stronger regulatory enforcement and cooperation between policy makers and law enforcement to ensure justice and prevent recurring victimization.

Abstract

Medical professionals face increasing legal challenges due to allegations of malpractice, highlighting the need for clear legal protection mechanisms. This study aims to provide legal protection for medical professionals who deliver medical services in accordance with professional standards and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), based on a case study of the Makassar District Court Decision Number 1441/Pid.Sus/2019/PN Mks. The research employs a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach and doctrinal analysis of the court decision. Data sources consist of primary and secondary legal materials, which are analyzed descriptively, comparatively, and interpretatively. The findings indicate that the defendant was acquitted of all charges due to a lack of legally convincing evidence of a law violation and the absence of a final decision from the Indonesian Medical Disciplinary Honorary Council regarding professional misconduct. The application of the principle lex specialis derogat legi generali serves as the legal basis, establishing that Law Number 29 of 2004 concerning Medical Practice takes precedence over general criminal provisions, such as Article 360 of the Indonesian Criminal Code. The study concludes that medical personnel should receive legal protection as long as medical actions are performed in accordance with applicable professional standards, operational procedures, and professional ethics.
