Abstract

The realm of human rights presents a complex interplay between protection, fulfillment, and law enforcement, particularly evident in the case of Indonesia. This abstract delves into the multifaceted landscape of human rights within the Indonesian context. Indonesia's transition to democracy marked a important juncture for human rights. The government ratified numerous international treaties and established a National Human Rights Commission, reflecting its commitment to protection. However, challenges persist as minority rights, notably those of religious and ethnic groups, face intermittent infringement, revealing gaps between rhetoric and reality. Fulfillment of rights poses another intricate facet. Economic and social rights, essential for human dignity, demand equitable distribution of resources. Indonesia's progress is discernible in poverty reduction and improved healthcare and education. Nevertheless, regional disparities and the indigenous population's marginalization warrant attention to ensure holistic rights fulfillment. Effective law enforcement remains central to the human rights discourse. The nation's counterterrorism efforts have sometimes raised concerns regarding due process and freedom of expression. Additionally, the protection of civil liberties necessitates consistent law enforcement reforms, emphasizing accountability, transparency, and the independence of the judiciary.

Abstract

Shireen Abu Akleh, an esteemed Al Jazeera journalist, was sadly killed by Israeli army gunfire in May 2022 while reporting on the Israel-Palestine military war. To pursue justice for this horrific act, the Palestinian administration filed a formal complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC). Despite the presence of strong proof, the Israeli government maintains that the charges are false. This study looks thoroughly into the Abu Akleh murder case, examining it from the standpoint of international law. Using normative legal research methods, the paper thoroughly examines the historical features of the murder as well as the legal procedures specified by international law to assure the administration of justice. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the critical importance of the Palestinian government's ICC complaint as a critical first step in initiating the judicial procedure. Notably, the United Nations has formally declared the Israeli army guilty of Abu Akleh's death, heightening the gravity of the situation. This research states categorically that the Israeli government must be held liable for this heinous act after exhaustively evaluating the most recent facts and prestigious international legal frameworks. It is fervently hoped that by unraveling the multifaceted dimensions inherent in this case, justice will ultimately prevail, steadfastly reaffirming the indispensable principles that safeguard press freedom and protect journalists worldwide, including within Indonesia as an integral member of the international community.

Abstract

Handling corruption cases is not always consistent in emphasizing the element of intention/intentionally. Theoretically, the concept of deliberation has been put forward by some experts. However, in the realm of implementation the theoretical studies of those experts become contradictory. This is because there is no certainty of indicators of intent. Deliberation in this research is viewed from criminal law and psychology. The method used in this research is Forum Group Discussion (FGD). Then also is performed professional judgment by legal practitioners and academics. The results show that law enforcers have a common perception in viewing the deliberate in cases of corruption. Law enforcers in understanding the Articles use the theory of science and the theory of Possibility in Certainty. It is deliberate behavior when viewed from psychology produces a construct that can be measured using the science theory.

Abstract

This research critically examines the legal safeguards for children facing economic exploitation in three prominent ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Despite the presence of protective legislation in these nations, the effective implementation of these laws encounters significant obstacles. In Indonesia, diverse regulations intended to shield children from economic exploitation coexist with the persistent issue of child labor. The continued prevalence of child labor is attributed to inadequate enforcement of labor laws and a general lack of community awareness regarding children's rights. Vietnam, while boasting a relatively comprehensive legal framework against child labor, faces challenges in certain rural areas where instances persist due to entrenched issues like poverty, cultural traditions, and limited access to education. Moreover, in the Philippines, the government has implemented measures such as the Child Labor Law and the Anti-Child Trafficking Act to protect children from economic exploitation. However, the effectiveness of these initiatives is impeded by resource constraints, corruption, and limited community awareness. In conclusion, this study reveals that legal protection for children in Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines is hindered by a range of challenges, including deficient enforcement mechanisms, enduring cultural traditions, widespread poverty, systemic corruption, and limited community awareness. Addressing these complex issues requires collaborative efforts from governments, civil society, and communities to ensure the robust protection of children's rights.

Abstract

The judiciary, an important branch of government responsible for legal interpretation, dispute resolution, and justice administration, holds a crucial role in national environmental protection. Courts play a key role in safeguarding a nation's environment by interpreting constitutional provisions related to environmental protection and other legislative frameworks. The effectiveness of a country's environmental protection is contingent on the assertiveness, creativity, and innovation of its judiciary in interpreting laws, policies, and regulations designed for environmental preservation. The widely held belief is that the judiciary, more than any other institution, is best positioned to adjudicate, inform, guide, and lead in environmental protection. A proactive, inventive, and inspirational judiciary motivates the executive and legislative branches to implement pertinent environmental laws, policies, and regulations. This study utilizes a doctrinal research methodology to comprehensively review and compare the environmental protection frameworks in Nigeria, India, and Canada. The focus is on constitutional provisions related to environmental protection and judicial interpretations, particularly in the context of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) laws. While explicit constitutional provisions on environmental protection are absent in Canada, India, and Nigeria, the courts in India and Canada have demonstrated creative interpretation of their constitutions to safeguard the environment. Notably, in India, environmental protection falls under the non-adjudicable Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP).

Abstract

In Malaysia, the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) was established Under the Employees Provident Fund Act 1991 as a social security organisation that offers members trustworthy and efficient savings management and it is open to both personnel. In contrast, the Private Pension Administrator (PPA) developed the Private Retirement Scheme (PRS), a retirement programme, to address retirees' insufficient resources for meeting their retirement expenses in light of rising living standards and longer life expectancies. Having to see the similar aspects between EPF and PRS in terms of creating savings and their importance towards securing a certain degree of comfort for retirees, the purpose of this study is to provide a thorough explanation of how these two retirement plans can benefit all Malaysian private employees. Similar to Malaysia, all private sector workers in Indonesia are also required to participate in retirement plan. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the similarities and differences between Malaysia's and Indonesia's retirement plan. This research employs a qualitative approach, by conducting library-based research on the relevant materials including, but not limited to statutory provisions, case laws, law textbooks, journal articles, newspapers, conference proceedings, and seminar papers. At the end of the discussion, the findings show that both countries have their own retirement plans and have the same goal which is to provide facilities to all private-sector workers.
