Abstract

This research focuses on analyzing the debates and roles of the academic freedom movement in Indonesia's authoritarian politics. Numbers of scholars argued on the democracy decline and its current situation of authoritarian turn (Mietzner 2016, 2020; Hadiz 2017; Wiratraman 2018; Waburton and Aspinal 2019; and Winters 2021). Authoritarianism governance in recent politics has been worsening situation of free expression, including academic freedom. Recently, one of attacks is connected to cyber-attacks, which has been targeting journalists, academics, activists or students who defend human rights and environment, indigenous leaders, anti-corruption activists, and women's groups. This article discusses first, how has academic freedom at campuses been shaped by Indonesia's the rise of authoritarian politics; and second how academic freedom has been influenced and easily attacked in the rise of digital authoritarianism. By using an interdisciplinary approach, this article argues that there is a strong relation between the threat of academic freedom and the strengthening of authoritarianism in Indonesia, especially by disciplining campuses through a more systematic bureaucratization. While at the same time, academic freedom has been affected by stronger control of authoritarianism regime by deplying cyber troops in digital spheres. Hence, this article also discusses how human rights instruments and its institutions could promote and defend academic freedom in general.

Abstract

The discourse surrounding corruption as an international crime is increasingly urgent due to its transnational impacts that trigger economic crises and threaten global security. This study addresses two primary objectives: redefining corruption within international legal mechanisms and exploring opportunities for the international community to recognise it as an international crime. Employing a normative research design, this study systematically analyses law as a system of norms. The methodology focuses on the study of laws, regulations, legal doctrine, and applicable principles, interpreting the implications of these norms within various international conventions. The research outcomes indicate that when corruption affects the security sector, violates human rights, or relates to environmental crimes where states are unable or unwilling to act, it meets the gravity threshold for an international crime. Key results suggest a pressing need for global commitment to amend the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and the Rome Statute. The results of this study advocate for the recognition of corruption as a component of international crime under universal jurisdiction. It proposes utilising the International Criminal Court (ICC) to ensure accountability. While significant obstacles regarding state sovereignty and criminal jurisdiction remain, internationalising anti-corruption measures is essential to address systemic impunity and safeguard the international legal order.
