Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze these different paradigms, examine the consistency of their application in Constitutional Court decisions, and assess their implications for access to constitutional justice in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research with a statute and case approach. Data were obtained through a review of relevant laws, legal doctrine, and analysis of Constitutional Court decisions, then analyzed qualitatively to identify the Court's argumentation patterns. The results show that the Constitutional Court tends to use the "constitutional injury" paradigm as the primary standard in assessing an applicant's legal standing. However, in some cases, the Court also considers the "constitutional interest" paradigm when a constitutional issue is deemed to concern the broader public interest. This creates inconsistencies in judicial practice and demonstrates the considerable scope for interpretation for constitutional judges. The distinction between the interest and injury paradigms reflects the tension between the principle of judicial prudence and the need to expand access to constitutional justice. Clarity of standards is needed by the Constitutional Court to avoid legal uncertainty and to ensure that citizens' constitutional rights are consistently protected

Abstract

The rapid growth of cryptocurrencies and digital assets has created significant challenges for governments in regulating economic and business activities. Both Indonesia and India face similar issues concerning legal certainty, investor protection, and financial stability, yet they have adopted different regulatory approaches. This research aims to analyze and compare the regulatory frameworks governing cryptocurrencies and digital assets in Indonesia and India, using a comparative legal method that examines legislation, regulatory guidelines, and policies in both countries, supported by doctrinal interpretation and secondary literature. The findings reveal that Indonesia officially prohibits the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment but allows them to be traded as commodities under the supervision of the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti). In contrast, India has demonstrated a dynamic regulatory stance—initially imposing restrictions on cryptocurrency activities, later introducing a taxation framework, and currently considering the implementation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Despite these differences, both jurisdictions share the same fundamental objectives: to safeguard the financial system, prevent money laundering, and protect consumers. Indonesia’s approach emphasizes strict market controls and legal certainty through prohibitions on payment functions, while India’s model reflects regulatory fluidity and growing fiscal integration. This comparative analysis underscores the evolving nature of cryptocurrency governance in developing economies and highlights the need for balanced frameworks that promote innovation while maintaining financial stability and legal coherence.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of environmental law in realizing environmental sovereignty as an effort to ensure social and environmental justice. Environmental law is viewed not only as a normative instrument but also as a strategic means to regulate, protect, and sustainably manage natural resources. Using a normative-juridical approach with qualitative descriptive analysis, this study examines applicable regulations, environmental law principles, and their implementation in the context of ecosystem protection and the fulfillment of community rights. The results indicate that the implementation of environmental law in Indonesia has a strong legal basis through Article 28H and Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, as well as Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. Environmental law plays a crucial role in realizing environmental sovereignty because it guarantees the community's right to a good and healthy environment and regulates the management of natural resources for the people's prosperity. However, in practice, various obstacles remain, such as conflicts between economic development and ecosystem protection, weak law enforcement, limited human resources, low public awareness, and regulatory weaknesses that often stop at the normative level. This indicates a gap between ideal regulations and their implementation in the field.

Abstract

The principle of ultimum remedium in tax criminal law is designed as thefinal boundary of law enforcement, to be used only when administrativemeasures are no longer effective. However, in the practice of handlingcorporate tax crimes in Indonesia, this principle is often disregarded,resulting in punishment becoming the first step rather than the last resort.This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of ultimum remedium as amechanism for state loss recovery and to assess the extent to which itsimplementation reflects the principles of justice and fiscal efficiency.Additionally, this study examines the relevance of this principle from anIslamic law perspective, particularly in relation to the concept ofrestorative justice and the state's role in realizing public welfare(maslahah). Using a normative juridical approach supported byempirical data from court decisions and interviews, this study finds thatthe ultimum remedium principle has not been consistently applied andtends to have no significant impact on state financial recovery. From anIslamic law standpoint, these findings reinforce the argument that asystem prioritizing the restoration of state rights (the rights of Baitul Mal)should take precedence over physical sanctions, in accordance with thespirit of justice oriented toward public benefit. As a novel contribution,this study proposes a restorative fiscal justice approach model thatpositions ultimum remedium as an active strategy for recovering losses,not merely as a principle of criminal limitation. These findings areexpected to strengthen the direction of economic criminal law reformtoward a system that is more proportional, efficient, and adaptive to stateneeds, while aligning with ethical and religious values.

Abstract

Cooperatives in Indonesia hold a unique constitutional status, enshrined in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, as instruments to achieve economic democracy and collective welfare. However, the practical realization of these ideals remains hindered by outdated regulatory frameworks, particularly Law No. 25 of 1992, which fails to reflect the dynamics of digital transformation,inclusive development, and modern governance. This study adopts a normative juridical method to examine the alignment of cooperative law with constitutional principles, focusing on the philosophical foundations, doctrinal interpretations, and historical evolution of cooperative governance. Through analysis of primary legal sources, academic literature, and recent policyinitiatives such as the Koperasi Merah Putih movementthis research reveals significant normative gaps, legal fragmentation, and institutional constraints within the current regulatory regime. The study argues for a fundamental legal reconstruction that positions cooperatives not as peripheral economic actors but as constitutional agents of equitable and sustainable development. It proposes key legal reforms including the recognition of digital cooperatives, enhanced accountability mechanisms, and integration with national development platforms. The findings emphasize the urgent need for a responsive, inclusive, and constitutionally grounded legal framework to revitalize the cooperative sector in post-pandemic and digitalIndonesia.

Abstract

Enforcement of civil servant (PNS) discipline is an important element in personnel management that aims to maintain the performance and integrity of government officials. However, in its implementation, the civil servant discipline system still needs to improve its effectiveness. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of enforcing civil servant discipline from the perspective of sociological aspects of law through statutory research methods and conceptual approaches. The research method used is a juridical-normative method with a conceptual approach. Data collection was carried out through literature studies of statutory regulations, books, journals and other relevant sources. Data analysis uses content analysis techniques and legal interpretation. The research results show that the effectiveness of enforcing civil servant discipline is influenced by several factors, including clarity and firmness of civil servant discipline regulations, leadership commitment to enforcing discipline, a proportional reward and punishment system, and a supportive organizational culture. Apart from that, sociological aspects such as values, norms and social interactions that apply in the civil servant environment also influence the effectiveness of disciplinary enforcement. This research concludes that the effectiveness of enforcing civil servant discipline is not only determined by formal legal aspects but is also influenced by sociological factors that exist in the civil servant work environment. Therefore, efforts to increase the effectiveness of enforcing civil servant discipline need to consider a holistic approach that includes legal, organizational and sociological aspects.
