Abstract

Halal food has become an increasingly important concept over the past decade, driven by growing consumer awareness of the significance of halal products that comply with national positive law. However, challenges such as the high cost of halal certification and limited understanding of halal labeling remain major obstacles, particularly for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). This study aims to examine the regulation of halal labeling and its implications for consumer protection and the development of MSMEs in Indonesia. The research method employed is normative juridical, utilizing legal sources including laws and regulations. The findings indicate that Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, represents a significant market for halal products. Halal labeling, as regulated by Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Assurance, plays a crucial role in ensuring the halal status of products for Muslim consumers. The study concludes that halal certification not only provides essential consumer protection but also opens broader access to global markets. Therefore, the government, through certification bodies such as BPJPH and MUI, plays a pivotal role in ensuring product halalness and promoting the growth of the halal industry in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Constitutional Court often uses a positive legal approach, and some of the decisions it produces do not contain substantive justice. In its development, the Constitutional Court began to face a new paradigm as an institution for interpreting the constitution and began to use a progressive legal approach. This study aims to examine the application of a positivist legal approach and the urgency of using the progressive legal approach in the law review process. This research is normative legal research. Based on the results of this research, the Indonesian legal system is designed to accommodate human interests and needs through progressive legislation. The Constitutional Court, through a progressive legal approach, can issue decisions that fulfill substantive justice. This research is used in several cases, such as the heart article decision, ultra petite, and open legal policy. It can be concluded that through a progressive legal approach, it is a challenge for judges to guard the constitution through judicial review and an opportunity to prove that the Constitutional Court is an institution that prioritizes the constitutional rights of the people. In addition, the Constitutional Court can restore its spirit as the guardian of the constitution and democracy.

Abstract

The incidence of criminal acts of violence against women, or gender-based violence, in both Indonesia and Malaysia has shown an upward trend. This study aims to conduct a comparative legal analysis of the resolution mechanisms for physical violence against women in the two countries. The research employs a doctrinal legal method.The findings indicate that in Indonesia, the resolution of physical violence against women involves both penal and non-penal approaches. Domestic violence cases are addressed through multiple strategies, including preemptive, preventive, and curative measures. In Malaysia, the resolution of domestic violence cases includes the issuance of Interim Protection Orders (IPO) and Protection Orders (PO) by the courts, which are accompanied by access to shelters, counseling services, legal advice, guidance, and referrals to relevant institutions.The study concludes that both Indonesia and Malaysia share common objectives in preventing and eradicating domestic violence. However, their approaches differ due to the distinct legal systems each country follows. Malaysia adheres to the Anglo-Saxon common law system, whereas Indonesia follows the Civil Law tradition.

Abstract

Indonesia’s energy sector continues to face persistent challenges in the context of rapid economic growth, increasing energy demand, and mounting environmental concerns. Despite the constitutional mandate requiring the state to ensure equitable access to energy and sustainability, existing regulatory frameworks frequently fall short of achieving these objectives. This research aims to examine the legal and policy frameworks governing the energy sector in Indonesia, where energy serves as a critical component of economic development and public welfare.The urgency of this study lies in addressing the disconnect between the normative ideals (das Sollen) of equitable and sustainable energy governance and their actual implementation (das Sein) in current policy practices. The research employs a normative legal method, relying on a literature review of both primary and secondary legal sources, coupled with conceptual and statutory interpretation.The findings indicate that current policies often fail to ensure equitable distribution, meaningful public participation, and adequate environmental protection. Accordingly, legal reforms are necessary to advance justice in energy access and to establish enforceable emission limits and environmental standards. The conclusion drawn from this study underscores the importance of bridging the gap between normative aspirations and practical realities in order to achieve inclusive, sustainable, and just energy governance.

Abstract

Prior to the implementation of the Job Creation Law, wastewater management in Indonesia was governed by the granting of liquid waste management permits. Nevertheless, the implementation of the new law has supplanted these licenses with a technical approval system that mandates adherence to wastewater quality requirements. This study aims to examine the current legal framework governing wastewater management in Indonesia and assess its execution under the Job Creation Law, with a focus on environmental sustainability. The employed methodology is a normative and empirical legal research strategy, utilizing qualitative analysis via document examination and field observation in Kendari City. The findings suggest that the new legislation encounters implementation difficulties, particularly in overseeing wastewater from home and small-scale enterprises, such as laundry services, which are predominantly unregulated. The conclusion is that the existing legal framework has not adequately integrated principles of environmental ethics, including anthropocentrism and ecocentrism. Consequently, legal reform and the establishment of ethical principles are essential to guarantee environmental preservation and foster the sustainability of ecological functions.

Abstract

The background of this study is the increasing volume of international human mobility, which presents serious challenges for Indonesia’s immigration system in preventing terrorism and maintaining state security. The Directorate General of Immigration struggles with outdated infrastructure, limited technological support, and insufficient human resource capabilities, all of which hinder effective immigration checks and the identification of high-risk individuals. Terrorists have exploited loopholes in Indonesia’s immigration system to enter or flee the country. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether the immigration intelligence approach can serve as an effective and comprehensive strategy for combating terrorism in Indonesia. The method employed in this study is qualitative, involving library research that analyses secondary sources, including legislation, case studies (e.g., the 2016 Sarinah attack and the 2018 Surabaya bombing), government reports, and scholarly literature. The results obtained indicate that immigration intelligence through mechanisms such as risk profiling, early detection, inter-agency collaboration, and technological integration plays a crucial role in identifying and preventing terrorist threats before they occur. Conclusions that can be drawn from this study are that immigration intelligence offers significant preventive advantages but requires strengthened infrastructure, improved coordination among institutions, and international cooperation to be fully effective in Indonesia’s counterterrorism efforts.

Abstract

This article explores how Indonesia’s village governments interpret and implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the process of vernacularization. Given Indonesia’s more than 81,000 villages, each with unique socio-cultural characteristics, localizing global norms is both a legal and practical challenge. The urgency lies in aligning global development frameworks with traditional village governance while maintaining local identities. This study aims to assess the implementation of Village SDGs and to evaluate vernacularization as a mechanism for translating global norms into culturally resonant practices at the grassroots level. Using a normative juridical method, this research analyzes legal documents, policy frameworks, and academic literature to identify patterns in SDG localization. Qualitative doctrinal analysis and thematic content review are applied to trace how global values are reinterpreted through local institutions and practices. Findings indicate that the 17 SDGs, along with Indonesia’s additional Goal 18 on adaptive village culture, align with existing local norms but require contextual adaptation. This is achieved through a three step vernacularization model involving translation, the role of vernacularizers, and framing, all grounded in a human rights based approach. The study concludes that vernacularization is essential to ensuring inclusive, culturally grounded, and sustainable implementation of the SDGs, reinforcing both universal values and local autonomy.

Abstract

Indonesia’s electoral law established the framework to uphold democracy through free and fair elections. However, its implementation faces structural and procedural weaknesses that undermine effectiveness and public trust. This study employs a legal approach to examine these weaknesses, problems, and propose corresponding reforms. Key issues include overlapping authority among the General Elections Commission, the Election Supervisory Agency, and the Election Organizer Ethics Council; weak campaign oversight due to limited resources; unclear legal definitions; lenient sanctions for violations; and challenges in enforcing strict reporting deadlines. Additionally, systemic problems such as the open-list proportional system and the presidential threshold restrict political competition and foster transactional politics. To address these, the study recommends legal and institutional reforms: clarifying institutional roles, enhancing inter-agency coordination, strengthening campaign finance regulation with digital transparency systems, and improving enforcement mechanisms and sanctions. Further, revising the electoral system and threshold requirements, alongside introducing merit-based recruitment and whistleblower protections, are proposed to ensure inclusiveness, accountability, and democratic integrity. These measures aim to create a transparent, fair, and credible electoral process that reinforces democratic principles in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is a widely used tool, including in Malaysia and Indonesia, for determining the potential positive or negative impacts of development projects in areas close to communities. The main goal of an SIA is to mitigate negative impacts and protect affected communities. Public participation is a key element of the SIA process and is strictly adhered to as a means of protecting human rights. Through doctrinal research utilising a qualitative methodology and comparative analysis of library resources, this paper aims to examine the implementation of human rights within the public participation mechanisms of these two countries. This fundamental right enables the public, particularly those affected, to contribute to the decision-making process. Both Malaysia and Indonesia share this objective, aligning with global efforts to uphold human rights in development contexts. However, in terms of SIA institutions and procedures, the two countries have distinct mechanisms. It can be concluded that both Indonesia and Malaysia have structured public participation as a multi-stage process within the SIA framework, albeit sometimes merely as a procedural formality. To uphold the dignity of affected communities, this paper recommends that Malaysia and Indonesia must move beyond procedural compliance and embrace genuine, rights-based engagement at every stage of development planning.

Abstract

This research addresses the digital divide between urban and rural areas in Indonesia by examining the digital transformation of superior village products through branding and strengthening Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Kadumaneuh Village, Pandeglang. Despite existing legal frameworks, village-level digital implementation remains suboptimal, with only 30% of villages having adequate internet access and 40% of BUMDes using digital technology. The study aims to develop an integrated digital transformation model tailored to Indonesian villages' needs, focusing on product branding and BUMDes strengthening. Using a normative-empirical approach, the research combines literary and field studies with statutory and sociological approaches. Data collection involved literature review, interviews, and questionnaires. Results reveal a significant gap in understanding and implementing digital transformation and branding among micro-enterprises. The study proposes a holistic model integrating digital infrastructure development, product digitalization, branding, legal protection, literacy enhancement, economic empowerment, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The research concludes that optimizing BUMDes' role in digital transformation requires comprehensive strategies, including capacity building, policy development, and strategic partnerships. The proposed model offers a framework to address technological, legal, and economic challenges faced by village enterprises in the digital era.
