Abstract

This study stems from shared concerns regarding the issues arising from the construction of the Padang-Pekanbaru toll road in Nagari Sungai Buluah Barat. The construction of the Padang-Pekanbaru toll road has left problems for tenant farmers in the study area. The loss of livelihoods and the conversion of agricultural land have forced tenant farmers to develop social resilience in order to overcome the shocks they faced following the toll road development. The aim of this study is to examine the social resilience efforts of tenant farmers after the construction of the Padang-Pekanbaru toll road, as well as the challenges they face in developing social resilience. This is a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach, conducted in Nagari Sungai Buluah Barat, Padang Pariaman Regency. The informants in this study include the village head (wali nagari), the village secretary, the head of community welfare affairs, the hamlet head (wali korong), community leaders, and tenant farmers. Data collection techniques used in this study include observation, interviews, and document studies. Data processing was carried out using source triangulation techniques, which enabled the researcher to obtain more accurate information.

Abstract

The rise in GHG emissions has driven countries, including Indonesia, to commit to Net Zero Emissions through the 2015 Paris Agreement. One of Indonesia’s efforts is limiting carbon emissions via carbon trading. The traded object, carbon units, are categorized as securities with economic value, presenting an opportunity to use them as collateral. However, theres is no clear regulation governing this. This normative legal research uses statute and conceptual approaches, with primary and secondary legalmaterials on collateral law. The study aims to propose regulatory recommendations to enable the use of carbon units as collateral in Indonesia. The findings suggest that fiduciary is the most suitable binding meyhod, as it does not require physical delivery and allows execution through private sale under Article 31 of Indonesia Fiduciary Law. The lack of a valuation institution can be addressed by optimizing collaboration between public appraisers, like KJPP and GHG Validation and Verification instituions (LV/V GRK).

Abstract

The increasing issue of the global environmental crisis has prompted the UN to launch 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although Indonesia has a strong commitment to achieving the SDGs, its implementation is still lagging behind, one of the reasons being the suboptimal application of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) at the company level, especially in the banking sector. This creates uncertainty, implementation obstacles for companies, and opens up loopholes for ESG-washing practices. This study aims to formulate a regulatory formulation for the ESG concept in the banking sector as a strategy to accelerate sustainable development in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research that is prescriptive with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The types and sources of legal materials use primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. The results of the study conclude that an effective regulatory formulation is needed including a revision of POJK 51/POJK.03/2017 to require integrated reporting and adoption of the double materiality concept. In addition, it is recommended to strengthen the role of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), establish standard and measurable ESG reporting standards, require independent assurance (verification) of sustainability reports, and enforce legal sanctions against ESG-washing practices.

Abstract

This study analyses the interrelationship between alleged medical malpractice, patient safety, and legal accountability through a case study of a suspected malpractice incident during a cesarean section at Bekasi Regional Public Hospital (RSUD Bekasi) in 2025. Using a juridical-normative approach combined with empirical case analysis, the research applies Donabedian’s quality of care framework and examines Indonesian legal instruments, particularly Law No. 17 of 2023 on Healthcare. Data were collected from statutory provisions, court archives, national media reports, and scholarly literature, and analysed qualitatively through normative interpretation and triangulation of legal norms, theory, and factual findings. The results indicate three key deficiencies: (1) limited implementation of standard operating procedures and informed consent; (2) weak institutional oversight and patient safety culture; and (3) slow, costly, and opaque dispute resolution mechanisms that hinder access to justice. Comparative analysis with international practices shows that Indonesia’s legal governance remains fragmented, with insufficient integration between healthcare regulation and professional accountability. The study concludes that comprehensive reform is required to strengthen patient protection through clear regulatory mechanisms, independent medical audits, and the development of a no-fault compensation system that ensures both patient rights and medical professionalism.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implications of Law No. 1 of 2025—the Third Amendment to the SOE Law—on the application of the lex favor reo principle in corruption cases involving State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in Indonesia. Using a normative juridical approach with analytical and conceptual methods, the research reveals that the amendment redefines SOEs, limits the auditing authority of the Supreme Audit Agency, and removes the automatic classification of SOE losses as state losses. As a result, the legal interpretation of “state financial loss” in corruption cases has shifted significantly, potentially narrowing the scope of criminal liability for SOE officials. This change may lead to the re-evaluation of ongoing corruption prosecutions, including possible sentence reductions or acquittals. The study highlights the complex interaction between corporate reform and criminal accountability, emphasizing the need for doctrinal coherence, legal certainty, and the protection of substantive justice within Indonesia’s evolving post-reform legal framework.

Abstract

In financing practices in Indonesia, fiduciary guarantees play a crucial role for both creditors and debtors. However, their implementation often creates inequality because the determination of default is made unilaterally by the creditor. Constitutional Court Decision No. 18/PUU-XVII/2019 presents a new interpretation that emphasizes justice, legal protection for debtors, and the importance of the judicial process. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of this shift in the interpretation of default on the validity and implementation of fiduciary guarantees in financing practices in Indonesia, as well as to analyze the legal considerations of Constitutional Court Decision No. 18/PUU-XVII/2019 regarding the validity of execution and legal protection for creditors and debtors. This study uses a normative juridical methodology with a statutory and conceptual approach. Data were collected through a literature review of legal norms, Constitutional Court decisions, scientific doctrines, legal writings, and supplemented with secondary data from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Indonesian Financing Companies Association (APPI). The results of the study indicate more specifically that after the issuance of Constitutional Court Decision No. Based on Decision No. 18/PUU-XVII/2019, there was a 35% decrease in reports of disputes over the execution of fiduciary guarantees in district courts during the 2020–2023 period, reflecting increased compliance by financing institutions with the principle of due process of law. Determination of default can no longer be made unilaterally by creditors, but must be done through a fair and proportional legal mechanism. This decision strengthens legal protection for debtors, affirms the principle of due process of law, and requires system adjustments by financing institutions, thus making an important contribution to civil law reform, particularly in the implementation of fairer, more equal, and constitutional fiduciary guarantees in Indonesia.

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.
