Abstract

Waste management issues in West Aceh Regency indicate the need for harmonization of authority between local governments and village governments, as well as stronger business actors’ responsibilities in establishing a sustainable waste management system. This study aims to analyze the legal status of the Waste Management Master Plan (Rencana Induk Sistem Pengelolaan Sampah/RISPS) of West Aceh Regency within the regional legal framework and to examine the legal responsibilities of local governments, village governments, and business actors in waste management. This research employs a normative legal method using statute, conceptual, and analytical approaches. Primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials were analyzed qualitatively through a prescriptive method using grammatical, systematic, and teleological interpretations. The findings reveal that RISPS, enacted through a Regent Regulation, functions as a strategic policy instrument that is administratively binding; however, its effectiveness depends on integration into regional development planning and budgeting documents. The harmonization of authority between regency and village governments can be realized through the principles of recognition and subsidiarity, while business actors’ responsibilities should be strengthened through the implementation of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of an intergovernmental authority harmonization model that integrates RISPS with producer responsibility mechanisms within the framework of good environmental governance. Therefore, strengthening regional regulations, integrating RISPS into regional development planning documents, and developing more effective EPR mechanisms are essential to support sustainable waste management.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the criminological characteristics of offenders involved in money laundering derived from fraud and to critically examine the judicial reasoning in Decision Number 365/Pid.Sus/2023/PN JKT.Tim. The study focuses on the increasing use of fraud schemes, particularly romance scams and fictitious investments, as predicate offenses for money laundering conducted through electronic financial transactions. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory regulations, court decisions, and relevant legal and criminological literature, with data analyzed qualitatively through Rational Choice Theory and Routine Activity Theory. The results indicate that the offender acted through rational and planned decision-making aimed at obtaining economic benefits by means of deception, coordination with other actors, and the use of multiple financial accounts. The findings also reveal characteristics of network-based criminal activity involving role differentiation among offenders. Furthermore, the study identifies several issues in the court's reasoning, particularly regarding the assessment of the defendant's role within the criminal scheme, the interpretation of knowledge and intent in money laundering offenses, and the proportionality of the sentence imposed in relation to the harm suffered by the victim. Therefore, the significance of this study lies not merely in confirming the fulfillment of the legal elements of money laundering but in critically examining how offender responsibility and punishment are assessed in complex financial crimes involving multiple actors.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the legal protection available to victims of phishing crimes in digital banking transactions and to identify the challenges in its implementation. The research adopts a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical approach. The results show that although phishing is not explicitly regulated as a distinct offense under Indonesian law, legal protection can still be found within existing frameworks such as criminal law, banking regulations, and electronic transaction laws. Legal protection includes preventive measures, such as improving banking security systems and enhancing digital literacy, as well as repressive measures, including law enforcement and dispute resolution. Nevertheless, challenges remain, particularly in terms of regulatory limitations, evidentiary difficulties, and unclear liability between banks and customers. In conclusion, stronger regulations, effective law enforcement, and increased public awareness are essential to ensure optimal protection for victims and maintain trust in digital banking systems.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the integration between nutritional fulfillment policies and the halal assurance system within the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) and Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) programs in Indonesia. The problem is focused on the existence of a regulatory and structural gap between nutrition-based policy implementation and halal compliance within public food governance. In order to approach this problem, a theoretical reference is used based on maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, halal governance theory, and public policy integration frameworks. The data is collected through library research (normative-juridical study) involving primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, and analyzed qualitatively using descriptive-analytical methods. This study concludes that the MBG and SPPG programs still emphasize nutritional adequacy while lacking systematic integration of halal assurance, resulting in policy fragmentation and a dualism of assurance. Therefore, an integrative SNIF (Sharia-Nutrition Integration Framework) model is proposed to bridge nutritional and halal dimensions in public food policy to achieve a more holistic, ethical, and inclusive governance system.

Abstract

This article examines the normative disharmony between Indonesian Marriage Law and Intellectual Property Law concerning the legal status and division of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) as joint marital property upon divorce. The study focuses on the absence of explicit legal provisions regulating whether intellectual property acquired during marriage constitutes joint property and how its economic value should be distributed following the dissolution of marriage. This regulatory gap creates legal uncertainty, particularly due to the different legal characteristics of moral rights and economic rights within the intellectual property regime. To address this issue, the research employs Gustav Radbruch’s theory of legal certainty, John Rawls’ theory of justice, and John Locke’s theory of property rights. Using normative legal research methods with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, the study analyses legislation, legal doctrines, and relevant judicial decisions relating to marriage law and intellectual property rights. The findings demonstrate that intellectual property acquired during marriage may be recognised as joint marital property only insofar as it embodies economic rights capable of generating financial benefits. In contrast, moral rights remain inherently attached to the creator or rights holder and therefore cannot be transferred or divided in divorce proceedings. The study further argues for the harmonisation of marriage law and intellectual property law through a legal framework that recognises the economic value of intellectual property as part of the marital estate while preserving the personal nature of moral rights. Such harmonisation is necessary to ensure legal certainty, justice, and legal protection in disputes involving intellectual property as joint marital property.
