Abstract

The dispute resolution system for Regional Head Elections in Indonesia continues to face challenges related to fragmented authority, inconsistencies in judicial decisions, and procedural limitations, which may lead to legal uncertainty and undermine the legitimacy of election outcomes. This study aims to explore the weaknesses of the existing system and propose a more effective institutional model for resolving Pilkada disputes. Employing a normative legal approach with a comparative study method, this research analyzes electoral judicial systems in Mexico, the Philippines, and Germany to identify institutional principles that can be adapted to the Indonesian legal framework. Additionally, this study examines the national legal framework, including Constitutional Court rulings on Pilkada dispute resolution, to assess the effectiveness and limitations of the current mechanisms. The findings indicate that Indonesia’s Pilkada dispute resolution system still suffers from overlapping jurisdiction among institutions, inconsistencies in judicial rulings, and delays in dispute resolution processes. Comparative analysis suggests that a more integrated system, is more effective in ensuring legal certainty and judicial independence. Therefore, this study recommends the establishment of a specialized judicial body for Pilkada disputes, endowed with exclusive jurisdiction, institutional independence, and a transparent and expedited dispute resolution process. The implications of this research highlight that institutional reform in Pilkada dispute resolution is crucial for enhancing public trust in the electoral judicial system, strengthening electoral democracy, and upholding the rule of law in Indonesia’s  Regional Head Elections  process.

Abstract

Act Number 4 of 2023 expands the  Financial Services Authority (known as Otoritas Jasa Keuangan/OJK), as the leading sector in investigating money laundering crimes initiated by criminal acts in the financial services sector. However, this provision has resulted in many legal ambiguities, such as who can explore the predicate crime, what the optimal division of authority between the police and the OJK is, and what the consequences of the OJK's authority as a sole investigator. This article is here to identify the legal ambiguities arising from the expansion of OJK authority and to offer solutions that focus on strengthening harmonization and coordination between related institutions. The approach includes an analysis of available legal instruments, relevant case studies, and other policies used to address financial service crimes, such as banking fraud. The results of this study are expected to contribute positively to the expansion of the authority of the OJK in enhancing the effectiveness of money laundering investigations. In addition, this article also contributes to providing concrete recommendations to overcome legal ambiguities by strengthening cooperation between institutions and formulating more integrated policies.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the participation of child victims in criminal proceedings remains highly constrained. Courtroom questioning still centers on extracting material facts, while the psychological, emotional, and developmental harm inflicted by crime receives scant judicial attention. This article analyzes whether embedding Victim Impact Statements (VIS) in juvenile proceedings could correct that imbalance. Using a normative‑juridical methodology that combines statutory interpretation, doctrinal analysis, and comparative research, the study reviews VIS implementation in the United States, Canada, England and Wales, and South Africa, and tests its coherence with Indonesia’s Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System (JCJS Law). The comparative findings demonstrate that VIS offer a structured, low‑cost channel for children and their guardians to describe the multidimensional fallout of crime, thereby enriching judges’ sentencing rationales and promoting restorative outcomes. Evaluations in those jurisdictions also show that VIS boost victim satisfaction and enhance perceived legitimacy of the courts. To harness these benefits, the paper proposes amending the JCJS Law to require judges to solicit and consider VIS in every juvenile case involving a child victim. Procedural safeguards-mandatory psychological assistance, child‑friendly language,  closed‑court delivery options, and trauma‑informed questioning are recommended to prevent secondary victimization.Codifying these protections would close a normative gap, align national law with both the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child and Sustainable Development Goal 16 on justice, and support Indonesia’s broader commitment to child‑centered jurisprudence. Ultimately, institutionalizing VIS can transform victims from passive evidence providers into active rights holders whose voices shape fair, balanced, and developmentally sensitive judicial decisions.

Abstract

This research is a critique of the 2024 State Ministry Law which gives the President the freedom to form Ministries according to his needs.. Based on this law, the President, Prabowo Subianto, formed a Cabinet consisting of 48 Ministries. For this reason, it is urgent to immediately enact a Presidential Agency Law to limit the President's power in determining the posture of ministries so that their functions do not overlap, do not reflect cabinet affairs, and prevent corruption. Through the Presidential Agency Law, it is hoped that the President will not use Ministerial positions as political barter and "share power" with political parties, coalitions and volunteers in General Elections. This research is normative research with statutory, historical, comparative and conceptual approaches. In this study it was concluded: 1).Cabinet dynamics in Indonesia after the enactment of the 2008 Law on State Ministries, namely, the Indonesia Bersatu; The Kerja Cabinet; and The Indonesia Maju Cabinet has Cabinet members, 34 Ministry; and Merah Putih Cabinet,  The number of Cabinet members is 48 Ministries in accordance with the 2024 State Ministry Law which gives the President the freedom to form Ministries according to his needs. 2).Design a Reconstruction of Restrictions on the President's Power in Determining the Posture of Ministries in the Indonesian Government System, namely: First, Establishing the Presidential Agency Law. Second, the Law on Presidential Agency must regulate the maximum number of 24 Ministries. Third, the amalgamation of Institutions within the President's circle to become an integral part of the Ministry of State Secretary. Fourth, the abolition of the Coordinating Ministry Institution. Fifth, Elimination of the Position of Vice Minister

Abstract

Indonesia’s solid waste management framework continues to face persistent legal and institutional challenges in harmonizing national policies with regional regulations within a decentralized governance structure. Despite the enactment of Law No. 18 of 2008 and subsequent regulatory instruments up to 2023, existing legal scholarship remains largely descriptive, focusing on compliance rather than addressing normative and institutional fragmentation particularly the misalignment between Law No. 18/2008 on Waste Management and Law No. 23/2014 on Regional Government. This study aims to fill that gap by employing a normative-empirical legal approach that combines doctrinal analysis with field-based interviews involving five key stakeholders from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, provincial agencies, and legal experts. These structural weaknesses undermine policy coherence and highlight the limitations of relying solely on legal standardization. Drawing on decentralization theory and multi-level governance frameworks, this article offers two key contributions. First, it proposes the establishment of a National Regional Harmonization Council for Solid Waste Governance (NRHC–SWG) as a statutory mechanism to enhance vertical coordination. Second, it introduces the Multi-Level Governance Harmonization Index (MLGHI) as an evaluative model to assess coherence across normative, institutional, and operational dimensions. These prescriptive and analytical innovations aim to clarify the constitutional boundaries of regional autonomy under Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution, strengthen institutional synergy, and advance regulatory integration for sustainable solid waste governance in Indonesia.

Abstract

Despite the rapid expansion of Islamic fintech in Indonesia and Malaysia, research comparing the legal and regulatory frameworks in both jurisdictions remains limited. This study addresses that gap by examining the differences and challenges within each country’s legal infrastructure that impact the development and governance of Sharia-compliant financial technology. The objective of this research is to analyze and compare the regulatory systems in Indonesia and Malaysia to identify structural strengths, weaknesses, and their implications for legal certainty and financial innovation. Employing a normative juridical method with a comparative legal approach, the study analyzes statutory instruments, regulatory frameworks, and institutional roles in both countries. The findings reveal that Malaysia benefits from a more cohesive and structured legal framework under the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013, supervised by Bank Negara Malaysia and the Securities Commission, ensuring enforceable Sharia compliance and robust innovation support. In contrast, Indonesia's regulatory environment suffers from fragmented oversight between OJK and DSN-MUI, resulting in legal uncertainty and limited enforcement of Sharia principles. This research contributes to the field of Islamic financial law by offering policy recommendations to harmonize regulatory frameworks, enhance legal clarity, and promote the sustainable growth of Islamic fintech ecosystems in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

The Right to Be Forgotten (RTBF), as enshrined in data protection laws under Article 8 of the Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDP Law) and Article 17 of the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), grants individuals the right to request the deletion of personal data. However, this principle is fundamentally at odds with blockchain’s immutability, which ensures that once recorded, data cannot be altered or erased. This study examines the legal conflict between RTBF and blockchain through a doctrinal and comparative legal analysis of Indonesia and the EU regulatory framework. This study employs a normative legal research approach, utilizing doctrinal analysis and comparative legal method to examine statutory provisions, case law, and scholarly literature of Indonesia and the EU on the conflict between the RTBF and blockchain technology. Findings reveal that both jurisdictions struggle to reconcile RTBF enforcement with blockchain’s technical architecture, particularly in public networks. While the EU possesses stronger institutional maturity, it lacks clear jurisprudential direction on blockchain-based RTBF cases. Indonesia, with its evolving legal landscape, shows potential for flexible reinterpretation of “data destruction” under Article 44 of the PDP Law. The paper proposes a normative shift interpretation from the right to absolute erasure of the data itself toward the right to cryptographic erasure which supported by hybrid legal-technical solutions such as key deletion, off-chain storage, and permissioned blockchains.
