Abstract

Pretrial in the Indonesian criminal justice system aims to test whether or not the determination of suspects, detention, and confiscation by law enforcement officials is valid. However, the effectiveness of pretrial is often questioned, especially because the decision of a single judge in several cases is considered to violate the human rights of suspects and does not provide optimal legal certainty. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a single judge in pretrial and to find alternative legal reforms that better guarantee the protection of human rights in the investigation and investigation stages. This research uses normative juridical method with statutory approach and case study on controversial pretrial decisions. The results showed that single judges in pretrial often have limitations in assessing the substance of the case as a whole, so that the resulting decisions are not always fair and can harm the suspect. In addition, there is legal uncertainty due to different interpretations in the determination of suspects. As a recommendation, it is necessary to reform the criminal justice system by removing the pretrial mechanism and replacing it with direct examination by judges in the main trial. In addition, restorative justice mechanisms and plea bargaining systems, which have been implemented in several countries, can be adapted to improve the efficiency of case resolution without compromising the protection of human rights. These reforms should also be accompanied by improvements to investigation and prosecution mechanisms to ensure greater transparency and accountability at every stage of the law.

Abstract

This study analyses the legal status of land title certificates when their holders neglect the land, allowing it to be occupied by the community for decades. Based on a normative legal approach, this study examines primary legal materials (laws and regulations and court decisions) and secondary materials (scientific literature) to examine the relationship between legal certainty, the social function of land, and administrative corrective mechanisms. The results show that certificates are strong evidence but not absolute because their validity is conditional on the accuracy of physical-legal data and the holder's compliance with social functions. Neglect (land not used/utilised/maintained) opens up the possibility of land being declared abandoned and rights revoked through administrative procedures, while long-term occupation by the community gives rise to the need for normative-factual assessments that balance formal certainty and substantive justice. This study identifies misunderstandings about the certainty of certificates as triggers for abandonment and escalation of disputes when rights holders seek to restore physical control. It recommends prevention based on utilisation plans, boundary and data validation (title validation), collaborative mapping, and transparent and standardised administrative enforcement. Policy implications emphasise education on social functions, modernisation of land administration, and compensation/guarantee mechanisms that maintain public trust without neglecting rights protection. The findings enrich the land reform discourse with an operational testing framework.

Abstract

This study examines the factors that contribute to the failure of consumer protection policies in Indonesia. Indonesia's significant potential as a country with a large population and relatively high economic growth, making it crucial for this study to be inundated with imported goods. This study uses a qualitative approach with secondary data analysis from various sources. Secondary data were obtained from academic literature and government policies. The results of the study indicate that the factors contributing to the failure of consumer protection policies stem from legal, economic, and political aspects. The implementation of fair and firm consumer protection laws, and the government providing balanced protection to consumers and businesses, are key factors in the success of consumer protection policies. Strengthening dispute resolution institutions and product distribution supervisory institutions in the market also contribute significantly. Furthermore, the government needs to side with domestic products by restricting the flow of imports of foreign products. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for collaboration between the government, businesses, and consumers to create an ecosystem that supports fair consumer protection policies. The proposed recommendation to relevant parties is to urge legislative institutions to amend norms that weaken consumer rights in the Consumer Protection Law. It is hoped that these steps will have a positive impact on consumers, business actors and the national economy as a whole

Abstract

Death as a cause for the dissolution of marriage has been recognised in Indonesian family law, religious traditions, and customary practices, but its legal implications are often controversial especially in childless marriages because the lack of clarity regarding post-death authority often triggers disputes over funeral arrangements, burial locations, and inheritance. This study uses qualitative normative legal research with a comparative-integrative design. The corpus includes legislation (UUP No. 1/1974, KHI, Civil Code) and court decisions, religious texts and contemporary interpretations (Islamic–Christian), journal articles from 2021–2025 on the themes of grief/funeral rites/family relations, BPS data, and media documents. The analysis was conducted through doctrinal legal analysis, hermeneutics, content analysis and reflective thematic analysis, synthesised with a convergent-integrative model. The findings confirm a declarative–operational gap: the law states that death ends a marriage, but does not regulate in detail the authority to manage the body, determine the location, and conduct rites; this void is filled by customary/kinship claims that often marginalise spouses, especially widows in a patriarchal context. Theologically, there is consistency in respect for spouses, but cultural practices are not always in line with this. The consequences are damage to dignity, prolonged grief, and weakened community cohesion. This paper contributes an integrative framework of law, religion, ethics and society, an operational glossary, and a draft Post-Death Authority Determination Form (POP-K). Recommendations include implementing regulations that establish a hierarchy of authority with spouses as the primary holders (unless there is an authentic will), inter-agency SOPs, multi-level community mediation, and protection clauses for childless marriages. These findings reinforce the agenda of public literacy and dispute prevention.

Abstract

Article 28H paragraph 1 of the Constitution contains the right of everyone to live with happiness in birth and mind and to get a good and healthy environment which means free from pollution, safe from the dangers of hazardous waste. The presence of derivative regulations of Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021, which regulates the Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management (P3LH) creates even clearer rules, especially related to B3 Waste management The presence of the B3 Waste management industry is needed as a party that manages B3 Waste from waste producers, especially when these producers do not have the ability or facilities to manage it themselves. One of the industries managing B3 Waste, PT Dame Alam Sejahtera, has implemented Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 concerning P3LH that has environmental approval that has been determined by the Central Government, in this writing using an empirical legal research method. The conclusion in this study is that the implementation of Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 concerning P3LH is considered more complex than previous regulations, especially related to the change of management permits to technical approvals according to B3 Waste management activities, and administrative sanctions as per article 508 paragraph 1.Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 concerning PP3LH, such as written reprimands to revocation of permits, is a strategic step to uphold environmental justice and responsibility in a preventive and persuasive manner, without directly applying criminal sanctions.

Abstract

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection in Indonesia continues to face significant challenges regarding its effectiveness, accessibility, and alignment with the country's socio-cultural realities. Many IPR regulations are modeled on international legal frameworks that often lack contextual relevance to local needs particularly those of indigenous communities, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and traditional artists. This disconnect reveals the insufficient role of the state in ensuring substantive justice across all layers of society. This study seeks to critically assess IPR protection policies through the lens of progressive legal theory a framework introduced by Satjipto Rahardjo, which posits that law should serve social justice and be responsive to societal dynamics. By employing both normative-juridical and sociological methods, this research underscores the urgent need to reconstruct IPR policies so that they go beyond formal legal protection and function as tools for empowering local creative sectors. The findings indicate that a just and equitable IPR protection system must integrally account for social, economic, and cultural dimensions. Progressive law offers a foundational approach for designing policies that are inclusive and responsive to the lived realities of the Indonesian people. Therefore, the reconstruction of IPR policy is not only a legal necessity but also a moral imperative in creating a legal system that is liberating, human-centered, and socially just.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of agrarian reform programs in southern Garut and their contribution to improving farmers' welfare. Agrarian reform is positioned as a strategic instrument to reduce land ownership inequality, strengthen farmers' rights, and promote sustainable rural development. Through land redistribution, the provision of ownership certificates, and access to supporting programs such as agricultural extension and formal credit, farmers gain legal certainty, increased productivity, and expanded market participation. The results of the study show that agrarian reform has a multidimensional impact: economically, it increases farmers' access to productive resources; socially, it strengthens their status and reduces their vulnerability to eviction; and institutionally, it encourages the strengthening of farmer organizations in accessing government assistance. However, program implementation still faces various challenges, including bureaucratic obstacles, overlapping ownership claims with the forestry and private sectors, and weak institutional capacity at the local level. In conclusion, agrarian reform in the southern Garut region has the potential to be a major driver of farmer welfare, provided that it is integrated with broader rural development policies and supported by a strengthened institutional framework. Active stakeholder participation, transparent governance, and fair resolution of agrarian conflicts are key factors in ensuring the sustainability of its impact.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the principle of legal certainty, particularly as it relates to Certificates of Ownership (SHM) as collateral for loans in conventional banking. This study falls under the category of normative legal research and employs two main approaches: the conceptual approach and the statutory approach. The findings of this study indicate that the legal conception of the principle of legal certainty regarding SHM as credit collateral in conventional banking is robust and guaranteed through the integration of the land registration system, as mandated by the Land Law (UUPA), and the system of real property collateral, as mandated by the Law on Real Property (UUHT). In practice, the use of SHM as credit collateral often encounters various normative obstacles that have the potential to hinder the hierarchical application of the principle of legal certainty. The normative obstacles in question include: (1) inconsistencies between the UUHT No. 4 of 1996 and Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997; (2) regulatory inconsistencies regarding the droit de suite (right of follow-up) and the procedures for the transfer of rights; and (3) normative obstacles arising from the dualism of enforcement mechanisms under the UUHT versus the HIR/RBg in civil procedure law.

Abstract

Smuggling at present has reached an alarming level, no longer merely constituting an economic offense but amounting to an economic crime. The smuggling of goods, particularly textiles, has caused significant losses and adversely affected the national economy. The state’s response in establishing a special task force to address smuggling has, in practice, been unable to eradicate the influx of smuggled goods in a comprehensive manner. Measures undertaken thus far have proven inadequate in resolving the problem. The sanctions provided under Law No. 17 of 2006 on Customs, in the form of criminal penalties and/or fines, are considered insufficient if the objective is to recover the losses suffered by the state, both in terms of taxation and other economic consequences. In reality, such sanctions have failed to create a deterrent effect, leaving the state in a position of continual loss.
