Abstract

This study analyzes legislative approaches to the rehabilitation of drug addicts through the lens of social engineering, examining best practices and identifying key challenges. A juridical analysis of selected national and international legislation highlights the alignment of legal frameworks with social engineering principles, focusing on recovery, reintegration, and harm reduction. Case studies from jurisdictions like Portugal and the Netherlands demonstrate the effectiveness of decriminalization and integrated healthcare policies in reducing recidivism and improving public health. However, challenges such as resource constraints, societal stigma, and policy inconsistencies remain significant barriers to implementation. The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive, evidence-based legislation that balances punitive and rehabilitative measures to address drug addiction effectively.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of social engineering and policy innovation within Indonesia’s legislative framework for drug rehabilitation, focusing on restorative justice principles. Through a juridical analysis of Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics and related policies, the research highlights the shift from punitive measures to rehabilitation-focused approaches. Findings reveal that while legislative provisions align with restorative justice ideals, significant gaps in implementation—such as inadequate rehabilitation infrastructure, social stigma, and weak stakeholder coordination—hinder their effectiveness. Drawing insights from international best practices, the study proposes actionable reforms, including enhanced judicial guidelines, public awareness campaigns, and integrated policy frameworks, to promote a comprehensive and sustainable approach to drug rehabilitation in Indonesia. This research underscores the potential of restorative justice as a transformative tool for addressing drug addiction as a public health and social issue.

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.

Abstract

This study explores the legislative frameworks governing drug rehabilitation and the reintegration of former drug addicts into society through a normative juridical analysis. The research examines how laws and policies influence the recovery journey, highlighting critical gaps in anti-discrimination measures, public health integration, and societal reintegration mechanisms. Comparative case studies from countries with progressive approaches, such as Portugal and Norway, illustrate effective models for aligning legal systems with public health strategies. The findings emphasize the need for legislative reforms that promote inclusivity, support long-term recovery, and foster societal acceptance. Recommendations include expanding anti-discrimination protections, incorporating restorative justice mechanisms, and enhancing interagency collaboration to ensure holistic rehabilitation programs. This research contributes to the discourse on aligning law and social policy to address the multifaceted challenges of drug addiction and reintegration.

Abstract

This study examines the legal mechanisms for the social reintegration of drug addicts, focusing on rehabilitation as a transformative approach to enabling individuals to re-enter society as productive citizens. Using a normative juridical analysis, the research explores the alignment of national legal frameworks with international human rights standards and evaluates the challenges in implementing rehabilitation-focused policies. Findings reveal that while laws and policies supporting rehabilitation exist, their effectiveness is hindered by societal stigma, inconsistent application, and resource limitations. The study emphasizes the need for policy alignment with international standards, expansion of community-based programs, public awareness campaigns, and strengthened monitoring systems. These measures are essential for creating a supportive legal and social environment conducive to the successful reintegration of drug addicts into society.

Abstract

The research investigates law's role in promoting transformative justice through social engineering, focusing on rehabilitation and reintegration processes of drug addicts into society. This study applies a normative-juridical approach to evaluate Indonesia's legal frameworks for their effectiveness in handling addiction as a public health issue. Comparative analyses with international models, such as the decriminalization in Portugal and harm reduction policies in the Netherlands, show what a change of heart in legal philosophy might achieve. The findings put forward the majors lacuna in the present legislation: undue punitive, lack of supportive infrastructure, and stigma among society. Recommendations offered by the study go on to include legislative reform for rehabilitation, supportive infrastructure development, public-private partnership for effective reintegration. This paper advocates for a compassionate justice system that embeds transformative justice principles into legal frameworks, promoting societal productivity and inclusivity.
