Abstract

The concept of plea bargaining in Indonesia's criminal justice system still lacks a clear and definitive standard. This study aims to examine the current application of plea bargaining in the Indonesian justice system and to explore an ideal framework for its implementation in the future. The research adopts a normative juridical approach. The findings reveal that plea bargaining remains a relatively new concept in Indonesian criminal law. The existing Criminal Procedure Code does not provide regulations for plea bargaining as an alternative method for resolving criminal cases outside of court. However, the Draft Criminal Procedure Code has introduced the concept under the term "special path" in Article 199, which allows for plea bargaining between judges, public prosecutors, and legal counsel. Plea bargaining has the potential to serve as a solution to challenges in sentencing and correctional systems, ensuring the principles of swift, simple, and cost-effective justice while safeguarding the rights of the accused and enhancing their role in legal proceedings.

Abstract

Immanuel Kant's teachings on the stages of human knowledge development regarding the universe became the foundation for Hans Kelsen's renowned legal theory, namely Grundnorm. According to Kelsen, Grundnorm exists at the rational-practical stage of each individual, is a priori, and has never been formalized through a constitutional process. However, law students often have a simplistic understanding of Grundnorm, particularly in constitutional law studies.The discussion below falls within the scope of legal positivism, employing a juridical-philosophical approach. Grundnorm is frequently reduced to a mere issue of consistency, where lower regulations must not contradict higher regulations. No further explanation is provided, apart from the assertion that a legal regulation is effective only if consistency between lower and higher rules is maintained. This oversimplified explanation can be misleading, as it fails to convey the essence of Grundnorm theory to law students. Based on this analysis, it can be concluded that, according to Hans Kelsen’s teachings, Grundnorm is the highest source of legal norms, accepted as a necessity by individuals through their free will. Grundnorm, as an imperative-categorical basic norm, can be transformed into legal principles if it has been widely accepted by society.

Abstract

Indonesia needs technology for industrial infrastructure, but it is still controlled by developed countries. Patent licensing agreements can help facilitate this process. However, Indonesia's patent registrations are slow due to a lack of regulations and internal factors.This study aims to analyze the role of patent licensing in transferring technology from developed to developing countries. Patent license agreements play a crucial role as a mechanism for technological development. Therefore, it is essential to find solutions to ensure an effective transfer of technology.This research employs a statutory and conceptual approach. The analysis follows a deductive method by examining general laws and regulations before drawing conclusions.The results show that several regulations related to technology transfer serve as the main reference for understanding why technology transfer is difficult to achieve and identifying its underlying causes. Once these causes are identified, appropriate solutions can be proposed. The lack of regulations in Indonesia’s legal framework for technology transfer hinders its full potential. In conclusion, Indonesia's technology transfer laws have not been effective due to the absence of clear implementation guidelines and strict penalties. Therefore, a specific law regulating technology transfer is needed, emphasizing its importance and benefits while ensuring a strong commitment from all relevant parties.

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the banking sector can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of banking services. However, it also carries the risk of misuse by irresponsible parties, potentially leading to significant financial losses. This research aims to identify and analyze the potential misuse of AI in banking systems and provide recommendations for risk mitigation.This study employs a normative juridical research method, incorporating case studies and legislative analysis. The findings reveal vulnerabilities in AI algorithm security within the banking sector and demonstrate that AI implementation can be exploited for fraudulent activities. These findings underscore the need for updates to procedural laws, particularly concerning the evidence system, to establish clear criminal liability for legal entities or individuals.The study concludes that regulatory adjustments related to the evidence system and the implementation of banking principles are essential to minimizing the risks of AI-based fraud.

Abstract

The Constitution of the Sultanate of Oman incorporates several political principles that guide the state’s policy in international relations, including non-interference in internal affairs, adherence to international treaties, and observance of customary international law. The significance of this research lies in assessing the compatibility of these constitutional principles with international law. This study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to examine these principles. Additionally, it compares the application of international law by various states and the rulings issued by international judicial bodies.The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate the extent to which the political principles enshrined in the Omani Constitution align with the principles of public international law, while also identifying the challenges associated with their domestic implementation. The findings indicate that these principles have played a crucial role in enhancing Oman’s international reputation and fostering positive relations with various countries and international organizations.Finally, this paper presents several recommendations to address the challenges related to the application of these principles. The study concludes that Oman’s adherence to these principles has facilitated the effective implementation of international law. However, it also highlights the need to address specific challenges concerning the application of international treaties and conventions.

Abstract

To ensure food availability across Indonesia and mitigate potential food crises, the government introduced the Food Estate program under Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2020. This initiative aims to strengthen national food security through the effective management of food reserves. This study analyzes the legal aspects of the Food Estate concept in Indonesia using a normative juridical approach, which includes a literature review, analysis of relevant laws and regulations, and an examination of legal cases related to the Food Estate program.The findings indicate that the legal framework governing the Food Estate program has undergone several revisions, beginning with Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 24 of 2020 and later amended by Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 7 of 2021. The Food Estate program presents both benefits and challenges. While it enhances food security, attracts investment, and increases farmers’ incomes, it also poses risks such as land conflicts, environmental degradation, deforestation, and shifts in agricultural practices that may threaten food sovereignty. Additionally, concerns arise regarding land conversion and the potential for price manipulation by financial stakeholders.

Abstract

Digital development brings both positive and negative impacts. One of the negative consequences of this transformation is the increasing prevalence of criminal activities in the digital realm. This study aims to examine criminal regulatory policies related to cybercrime in Indonesia, particularly those that pose a threat to national sovereignty. The research method employed is normative juridical, using secondary data sources.The findings indicate that criminal law, as a branch of legal science, bears the responsibility of adapting to societal changes—especially in safeguarding citizens, as this is closely linked to state sovereignty. Cybercrime has emerged as a widely discussed issue in both academic and non-academic contexts. These crimes disrupt the security of individuals and threaten national sovereignty, as seen in incidents such as the hijacking of Indonesian citizens’ personal data.The study concludes that more technical regulations are required for addressing cybercrimes committed beyond the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. One proposed solution is the adoption of a “police-to-police” cooperation framework. This approach is expected to serve as an alternative for the government to respond more effectively to such issues, thereby facilitating the development of laws that are both efficient and effective

Abstract

The recognition of Indigenous Law Communities (Masyarakat Hukum Adat/MHA) involves a complex and multi-layered process. This article aims to analyze strategies for accelerating the recognition of MHA through the registration of customary land in Aceh Besar Regency. This research employs a qualitative methodology, with primary data obtained through fieldwork, preceded by a customary land survey, and complemented by legal materials. The analysis was conducted using a qualitative approach.The findings indicate that customary land continues to exist in Aceh Besar, covering an area of approximately 4,593.78 hectares, according to the survey. While this land holds potential for registration, the formal verification process remains challenging. The registration of such lands must be carried out at the Land Office—a regional branch of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN)—and requires the official designation of legal subjects by the Aceh Besar Regency Government.The study further emphasizes the intricacies of recognizing MHA, which require verification of both the subject (i.e., the community’s legal status as MHA) and the object (i.e., the land claimed). One viable strategy to accelerate the recognition process is through institutional collaboration—integrating the object recognition process under the Land Office with the subject designation process handled by the regency government. This approach can be facilitated by forming a joint working structure based on submitted applications. Such a collaborative framework would improve communication and streamline policy decisions, enabling more efficient and effective recognition of both the MHA and the registration of their customary land.

Abstract

Digital development has had a positive impact on public services; however, it has also introduced various legal challenges. This study aims to examine the direction of policy, legal preparedness in Indonesia, and the participatory role of Indonesian society in the digital sphere, particularly in relation to the development and implementation of Digital Government in Indonesia since the post-1998 reform era. This research employs a normative legal methodology, focusing primarily on secondary legal sources.The analysis reveals that the implementation of Digital Government in Indonesia following the reform period remains hindered by sectoral egos, leading to a lack of integration among state institutions in enhancing public services through the Digital Government framework. The study concludes that there is an urgent need for the establishment of a dedicated law on Digital Government, as well as the creation of a specialized state institution responsible for regulating, implementing, and evaluating Digital Government initiatives in Indonesia. Such measures are essential to ensure that public services are delivered in an efficient, accountable, transparent, fast, accessible, and cost-effective manner.

Abstract

The blue economy is an emerging concept that emphasizes the protection of marine life and ecosystems while promoting economic growth through the sustainable utilization of ocean resources. This principle is gaining increasing traction among ASEAN member states. Strategically positioned geographically, these nations possess significant potential to leverage their marine resources. However, disparities in technological capabilities and human resources continue to hinder the optimal utilization of these resources across the region.This paper identifies and analyzes the challenges and opportunities faced by ASEAN member states in implementing the blue economy within their respective territories and across the region. It also offers a new and in-depth perspective by examining Indonesia’s pivotal role during its ASEAN Chairmanship in advancing the blue economy agenda. Indonesia’s efforts go beyond merely emphasizing the importance of the blue economy; they also include strategic initiatives to promote cooperation, knowledge sharing, and the development of robust legal frameworks within ASEAN to foster sustainable marine governance and resource management.Indonesia’s leadership presents a unique opportunity to address critical issues and to catalyze the expansion of the blue economy in Southeast Asia, ensuring sustainable development and a balanced approach to the utilization of marine resources
