Abstract

An analysis of marriage validation (itsbat nikah) decisions by religious courts concerning the appointment of wali muhakkam for female converts (muallaf) in Muslim minority regions reveals that the process involves complex legal, social, and cultural considerations. These rulings not only focus on the formal legality of the marriage but also take into account the long-term implications for children born of the union and the alignment with the prevailing national legal system. This study aims to describe and analyze judges’ considerations regarding legal facts in the marriage of female converts using wali muhakkam, to explore the legal construction applied by judges in legitimizing the use of wali muhakkam, and to examine the arguments formulated by judges in validating such marriages. This research is categorized as a library study employing a normative juridical method with a statutory approach. Data sources are derived from established legal theories and documented judicial practices. The findings indicate that judges formulate legal arguments based on both Islamic legal principles and national law to validate the marriage of female converts conducted with a wali muhakkam. These rulings reflect the harmonization of religious values and state law, thereby ensuring justice, welfare, and legal certainty for all involved parties.

Abstract

This paper examines the management and utilization of small islands in Indonesia, specifically Nusa Penida, by foreign nationals(WNA) in relation to the prevailing legal regulations on land and investment permits. Indonesia, being an archipelagic nation, ishome to numerous islands that attract both local and foreign investors, especially in tourism. The legal framework governingforeign investment in small islands, including the necessary permits, is explored, with particular focus on the requirements set out inthe Indonesian legal system, such as the UUPA (Agrarian Law), the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands (PWP3K Law), andvarious ministerial regulations. The paper addresses how foreign nationals engage in island management in Nusa Penida,particularly in tourism-related ventures like hotels, resorts, and recreational activities such as diving and snorkeling. It evaluates theimpact of such foreign investments on the local community, highlighting both positive and negative aspects. One significant issuediscussed is the long-term land leasing agreements between foreign nationals and Indonesian landowners, which may potentiallylead to unintended ownership transfers andlegal disputes, as well as challenges in ensuring compliance with Indonesian land laws.The study also delves into the regulatory gaps in the implementation of these laws, particularly the lack of clear procedural guidelines for foreign investment in small islands. Furthermore, it calls for stricter enforcement and monitoring of land use and property transactions to prevent the unregulated acquisition of land by foreign nationals and to protect the national interest.Finally, the paper offers recommendations for improving legal oversight, such as ensuring proper registration of land transactions,enhancing the role of notaries and land officials in verifying the legality of land agreements, and ensuring that foreign investments arealigned with Indonesia's economic and environmental goals. The findings suggest that while foreign involvement in small islandmanagement can contribute to the local economy, stringent legal frameworks and thorough monitoring are essential to safeguardthe nation's sovereignty over its natural resources.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the position of court rulings on predicate crimes under the principle of Res Judicata Pro Veritate Habetur in money laundering cases, along with the legal rationale utilized by judges in adjudicating TPPU cases involving predicate crimes as specified in Article 127 paragraph (1) of the Narcotics Law. This study utilizes a normative-empirical approach through a case study method. This research is supported by the review of case files, the observation of trial proceedings, and the analysis of literature from various criminal law sources and relevant statutes and regulations. The utilized data analysis method is judicial-normative. The findings of this study reveal a violation of the principle of Res Judicata Pro Veritate Habetur in the evaluation of money laundering offenses, as demonstrated by the Mataram District Court Decision No. 516/Pid.Sus/2022/PN.Mtr, alongside the NTB High Court Decision No. 23/PID.Sus. 2023/PT.MTR, and the MARI Decision No. 4075 K/PID.Sus/2023, which neglected to account for the legally binding narcotics criminal ruling that serves as the predicate crime for the money laundering allegation. Both panels of judges committed errors in their legal reasoning by inadequately and incompletely assessing the predicate crime of narcotics offenses under Article 127, paragraph 1 of the Narcotics Law, concerning the evidence of 0.17 grams in relation to the sentencing and confiscation of the defendant's assets.

Abstract

The protection of workers' rights, particularly concerning minimum wage (UM), has become a central issue in the evolving landscape of Indonesian labor law. This study is motivated by the elimination of sectoral minimum wages through Government Regulation No. 36/2021 and the enactment of the Omnibus Law (UU Ciptaker), which sparked widespread controversy, especially regarding the protection of workers' rights and the transparency of the legislative process. Grounded in the theories of the rule of law, human rights protection, and the principles of good governance, this research employs normative legal methods using a statute approach and literature study. Data collection was conducted through the examination of primary legal materials such as laws and Constitutional Court decisions, as well as secondary legal sources including academic journals, legal books, and relevant scholarly articles. The data was analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical technique to interpret the legal implications of Constitutional Court Decision No. 168/PUU-XXI/2023. The findings reveal a misalignment between the objectives of the Omnibus Law and the implementation of workers' rights protections. Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court's decision offers a new perspective on the limitations of legislative authority, encouraging the separation of labor regulations from the Omnibus Law, and reinforcing constitutional guarantees for workers' rights. This decision has had a significant impact on wage policy, particularly in Karawang Regency, where the determination of minimum wage must now adhere to the principles of social justice, transparency, and respect for fundamental workers' rights, as subsequently implemented through the issuance of Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 16/2024 on the Determination of Minimum Wage for 2025. Overall, the Constitutional Court's decision strengthens the legal structure of Indonesian labor law, underscores the importance of the rule of law in protecting workers' rights, and marks a pivotal moment in the reform of labor regulations in line with social justice and human rights values.

Abstract

Amid the rapidly evolving economic landscape, challenges in the labor market are becoming increasingly apparent. One major issue faced by many graduates of vocational high schools (SLTA/SMK) and universities is the difficulty in obtaining employment that aligns with their skills and expectations. This study aims to examine the role of Job Training Institutes (LPK) in implementing domestic internship programs in accordance with Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 6 of 2020, with a focus on Karawang Regency. Internships are viewed as a strategic solution to enhance workforce competence and competitiveness while simultaneously reducing unemployment rates. This research employs a qualitative approach designed to understand phenomena within their social context, emphasizing in-depth interaction and communication between the researcher and the subjects studied. The method is structured to collect, analyze, and interpret qualitative data. The findings indicate that internship programs contribute significantly to improving participants' skills, expanding professional networks, and creating employment opportunities. However, implementation challenges remain, including limited human resources, weak regulatory oversight, and the prevalence of illegal brokerage practices. Therefore, strong collaboration among the government, training institutions, and industry stakeholders is essential to building a sustainable and regulation-compliant internship ecosystem.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of the restorative justice concept within the law enforcement system by the Indonesian National Police as regulated in Law Number 2 of 2002, the Chief of Police Circular Letter No. SE/8/VII/2018, and Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021. Restorative justice is a criminal case resolution approach that emphasizes restoring the condition of victims, offenders, and the community without undergoing formal judicial processes. However, in practice, inconsistencies often occur, particularly in petty theft cases, where some are resolved through restorative justice while others are processed through formal legal proceedings. This research adopts a normative juridical method supported by an empirical juridical approach and has both prescriptive and descriptive-analytical characteristics. Obstacles identified in the implementation include investigators' lack of understanding of restorative justice, a legalistic work culture among investigators, and limited public acceptance of out-of-court case resolutions. Additionally, Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021 does not specify the threshold of financial loss or consider the offender's motive, leading to varying interpretations. Therefore, regulatory reform, enhanced investigator capacity, and legal education for the public are necessary to ensure a more just and consistent application of restorative justice.

Abstract

The Liku Keruga tradition in Wadumaddi Village is part of customary law that has been passed down from generation to generation and plays a role in the management of marine resources, especially in the collection of coral reefs for the manufacture of whiting. This tradition is not just an economic activity, but also reflects the cultural identity of the local community. Indigenous communities apply strict rules regarding the time, amount, and parties allowed to take, so that resource utilization remains controlled and not excessive. However, national regulations prohibiting the exploitation of coral reefs raise the potential for conflict with long-established customary law. This research aims to analyze the existence of customary rights in the Liku Keruga tradition and its implications for the national legal system. Using juridical-normative and socio-legal approaches, this research explores the extent to which customary law can still play a role in the management of marine natural resources amid increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The results show that although customary law has a mechanism for sustainable management, its recognition in national regulations is still limited. Therefore, harmonization measures are needed through regional policies that can accommodate the practice of Liku Keruga without neglecting the protection of marine ecosystems.

Abstract

Abstract Forest conversion for oil palm plantations is a complex issue in Indonesia. This sector contributes significantly to the national economy through exports and job creation, but on the other hand causes negative impacts such as deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and agrarian conflicts involving indigenous peoples and small farmers. The government has established various regulations, including Law No. 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry, Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management, and Law No. 39 of 2014 concerning Plantations to control forest conversion. Unfortunately, the implementation of this policy still faces challenges, especially in terms of law enforcement and licensing transparency. This study uses a normative juridical method by analyzing national regulations and international policies such as the 2015 Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The results of the study show that weak supervision, corruption in licensing, and minimal coordination between agencies are the main obstacles in managing forest conversion. Therefore, a stricter strategy is needed in monitoring licensing, increasing transparency in land management, and implementing stricter sanctions for violators of regulations. In addition, sustainability standards such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) need to be strengthened to ensure that the palm oil industry can develop without damaging the environment. With these steps, it is hoped that the management of natural resources in Indonesia can be more balanced between economic, social, and ecological interests.

Abstract

This study examines the ambiguity surrounding the position of the President of Indonesia as both Head of State and Head of Government within the prevailing constitutional system. Although Indonesia has adopted a presidential system based on the 1945 Constitution, political and constitutional realities reveal an overlap between these two roles. Since Indonesia's independence, the country's constitutional system has undergone significant changes, influenced by the historical legacy of the parliamentary system and constitutional amendments aimed at reinforcing the presidential system. However, ambiguity persists because several provisions in the 1945 Constitution still leave room for different interpretations regarding the President's position and authority. This research identifies various factors contributing to this ambiguity, including the impact of patronage politics, unclear relationships between the executive and legislative branches, and the President's political dependence on parliamentary coalitions. Furthermore, the study highlights the need for constitutional reform, which includes clarifying ambiguous provisions, improving the party system, and strengthening the checks and balances mechanism between state institutions. These reforms are expected to clarify the President's position, enhance government effectiveness, and ensure the creation of a more stable, accountable, and democratic administration. This study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of Indonesia's constitutional system and offers solutions for improving the existing governance framework
