Abstract

International commercial disputes frequently involve multiple interconnected yet legally independent agreements, including engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts, letters of credit (L/Cs), and bank account agreements. Although the principle of party autonomy permits contracting parties to select their preferred dispute resolution forum, conflicting jurisdiction clauses across related agreements create fragmented jurisdiction and legal uncertainty. This study examines the legal problem of determining the competent forum when forum selection clauses in interconnected contracts are inconsistent. Using a normative juridical method and a case study of Central Jakarta District Court Decision No. 362/Pdt.G/2017/PN Jkt.Pst., affirmed on appeal, cassation, and judicial review, the research analyzes judicial reasoning in resolving competing jurisdictional claims. The findings reveal that the court asserted jurisdiction by treating the L/C as an integral component of the EPC payment mechanism, thereby subordinating disputes arising from the L/C and related banking arrangements to the forum selection clause in the EPC contract. This reasoning overlooks the principles of party autonomy and the autonomy (separability) of letters of credit, potentially undermining legal certainty in international commercial transactions. The study contributes to private international law scholarship by proposing a more coherent framework for resolving fragmented jurisdiction through greater recognition of the separability principle and the independent legal character of banking instruments.

Abstract

The dispossession of Indigenous Peoples’ living spaces in Indonesia represents a persistent manifestation of structural inequality in agrarian resource governance. This phenomenon is largely driven by competing interests among Indigenous communities, the state, and corporate actors, resulting in the loss of access to ancestral lands and natural resources, and posing serious threats to cultural integrity, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability. This article examines the key challenges in achieving agrarian justice in Indonesia, particularly the weak legal recognition of customary land rights, regulatory overlap between sectoral laws, and limited substantive participation of Indigenous Peoples in decision-making processes concerning land and resource allocation. Employing a normative legal analysis supported by socio-legal perspectives, this study also explores prospects for strengthening agrarian justice through equitable policy reform. These include the harmonization of agrarian regulations, acceleration of formal recognition of customary territories, strengthening of law enforcement mechanisms against unlawful land appropriation, and meaningful inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in resource governance frameworks. The findings indicate that despite ongoing agrarian reform initiatives, legal and institutional fragmentation continues to undermine effective protection of Indigenous territorial rights. This article contributes to the discourse on agrarian justice by emphasizing the need to reconceptualize land governance through an Indigenous rights-based and sustainability-oriented approach. It argues that achieving agrarian justice in Indonesia requires not only regulatory reform but also a paradigm shift toward participatory and inclusive governance that balances economic development with ecological and cultural preservation.

Abstract

Indonesian Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics recognizes narcotics addicts as individuals entitled to medical and social rehabilitation rather than ordinary criminals, reflecting a shift from a punitive criminal justice model to a public health approach. The law promotes decriminalization of narcotics users and requires law enforcement to prioritize rehabilitation. However, in practice, many addicts continue to be arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned alongside drug dealers, revealing a significant gap between legal norms and implementation. This study examines the implementation of rehabilitation through a restorative justice approach within the jurisdiction of the Rokan Hilir Resort Police and identifies the main obstacles affecting its effectiveness. Using a sociological juridical method with a descriptive analytical approach, the research analyzes empirical data from narcotics cases handled by the Rokan Hilir Police between 2021 and 2022. The findings indicate an increase in narcotics cases from 176 in 2021 to 187 in 2022, underscoring the need for effective rehabilitation-based interventions. Although Law No. 35/2009 and Police Regulation (Perpol) No. 8 of 2021 provide a legal framework for restorative justice and rehabilitation, implementation remains constrained by limited rehabilitation funding, social stigma, procedural difficulties in addiction assessment, and potential misuse of authority by law enforcement officers. The study highlights the persistent gap between rehabilitation-oriented legal norms and punitive enforcement practices and emphasizes the need for stronger institutional support to ensure that narcotics addicts receive recovery-oriented justice.
