Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal regulations in Indonesia regarding the use of foreign workers in connection with the criminal offense of human smuggling, as well as to examine the enforcement of the law against business actors who illegally employ foreign workers from the perspective of human smuggling. This research uses a normative legal approach by reviewing legislation, court decisions, and legal doctrines through statutory, case, and conceptual approaches, along with library research techniques and descriptive-analytical qualitative data analysis. The findings indicate that legal regulations in Indonesia concerning the use of foreign workers linked to human smuggling are covered by various laws such as the Manpower Act, the Immigration Act, and the Anti-Trafficking Law (UU TPPO), but remain partial and do not explicitly regulate smuggling in the context of corporations as perpetrators, which hinders legal enforcement. Law enforcement against such business crimes still faces multiple obstacles, such as weak legal frameworks, operational modes disguised as legal recruitment, limited understanding among law enforcement officials regarding transnational crimes, and the suboptimal implementation of corporate criminal liability, resulting in many cases ending only in administrative sanctions such as deportation, without significant deterrent effects

Abstract

This study examines the law and strategy to eradicate fraud in Islamic financial institutions, which are important institutions in the sharia-based economy. Fraud, which includes various fraudulent acts such as manipulation of financial statements and abuse of authority, can damage the reputation and sustainability of financial institutions. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the laws governing Islamic financial institutions, including the Sharia Banking Law and regulations from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), is essential in efforts to prevent and counter fraud. The fraud eradication strategy proposed in this study involves several approaches. First, the implementation of a comprehensive internal control system, including periodic internal and external audits, to ensure transparency and accountability. Second, increasing awareness and ethical training for employees, so that they are better able to recognize and prevent fraud. Third, the use of information technology, such as early detection systems and data analysis, which can identify suspicious patterns in financial transactions. This research emphasizes the importance of collaboration between Islamic financial institutions, regulators, and the public to build a safe and transparent ecosystem. Thus, efforts to eradicate fraud not only protect institutional assets, but also strengthen public trust in the Islamic financial system. The results of this research are expected to provide insight for policy makers and practitioners in developing more effective strategies in eradicating fraud.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the role of law in encouraging innovation in village financial management. Through a qualitative approach, this study collected data through interviews, observations, and documentation studies involving various stakeholders, including village officials, communities, and law enforcement. This method allows researchers to understand in depth the dynamics that occur in village financial management as well as the challenges and opportunities faced. The results of the study show that clear and firm regulations are a key factor in encouraging innovation. The law provides a framework that facilitates transparency and accountability in the management of village funds. In addition, regulations requiring community participation in the planning and supervision process further strengthen the relationship between village officials and the community, creating a greater sense of ownership over financial management. This study also found that the application of information technology in village financial management has resulted in increased efficiency and accuracy. The design of information systems that are transparent and easily accessible to the public contributes to better supervision. In addition, training and capacity building of village officials are critical in ensuring they have the necessary skills to manage finances effectively. This research confirms that the law not only functions as a regulatory tool, but also as a driver of innovation in village financial management. By strengthening cooperation between the government, communities, and law enforcement, villages can better manage their resources, thereby improving the overall well-being of the community.

Abstract

Ideally, foreign nationals who have entered and settled in Indonesia are required to provide information regarding their identity and family, as well as report any changes in marital status, nationality, employment, sponsorship, and address to the immigration office. This reporting obligation can be fulfilled by the sponsor; however, if the sponsor fails to do so, the foreign national bears the responsibility of reporting it. The failure of many foreign nationals to report these changes has led to various violations in Indonesia. As a country that adheres to Pancasila as the foundation of national life, Indonesia strives to maintain a balance between legal certainty, justice, and the welfare of its citizens. To achieve these three aspects, legal norms are required to regulate people's behavior, ensuring order and societal stability for the prosperity of the nation. However, in its enforcement, there is a disparity in authority among various immigration officials in Indonesia. Therefore, this study analyzes legal aspects of sanction imposition and explores possible solutions to this issue to create harmonization of immigration law in Indonesia. This research also refers to comparative studies with several other countries to provide a broader perspective on immigration law enforcement worldwide. This study employs a qualitative research approach, as described by Creswell. To address the research problems and propose appropriate solutions, the author applies the Dignified Justice Theory, which aligns with Indonesia’s national philosophy Pancasila.

Abstract

This study examines the role of law in encouraging community compliance with the payment of zakat and taxes, considering the importance of these two obligations for social welfare and state development. The research problem focuses on the low level of community compliance in fulfilling zakat and tax obligations in several regions. The purpose of this research is to understand how law, both Islamic law and state law, can contribute to increasing public awareness and compliance. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, including religious leaders, tax officials, and the general public. In addition, analysis of related legal and policy documents is also carried out to gain a comprehensive understanding. The results of the study show that the law has a significant role in creating compliance. Legal education about zakat and tax obligations is very necessary to increase public understanding. The involvement of community leaders and scholars has proven to be effective in motivating the community to fulfill their obligations. Transparency in the management of zakat and taxes is also a key factor that increases public trust, thus encouraging them to be more compliant. This research provides recommendations to strengthen the legal framework and more intensive education programs, in order to create higher awareness among the public about the importance of zakat and taxes in social development.

Abstract

The granting of certain positions to family members by regional heads in connection with criminal acts of corruption in government has become highly controversial because it has implications for social welfare and public perceptions of government integrity. In theory, regional heads granting certain positions to family members in connection with criminal acts of corruption or nepotism will exacerbate existing social stratification because government positions or benefits are given based on family ties or close relationships rather than merit. This has an impact on inequality of opportunity and distribution of resources, as seen in several cases such as the former Governor of Banten, Ratu Atut Chosiyah, and the former Governor of North Maluku, Abdul Gani Kasuba, who are suspected of using their political power to appoint family members to important positions in the government, which has triggered negative perceptions among the government and the people and has an impact on indications of corruption. The regulation on nepotism in Law No. 28 of 1999 prohibits appointments based on family ties, prioritizes meritocracy, and imposes sanctions for violations. The research method used in this study is a normative legal approach, which involves analyzing existing literature. The research conducted by the author was aimed at using several approaches, including the statute approach, conceptual approach, case approach, and historical approach.

Abstract

This research explores how local wisdom integrates with formal legal frameworks to offer legal protection for MSMEs in Lhokseumawe, Indonesia. Traditionally, MSME operations in the region have been guided by informal agreements and trust-based relationships, which, while effective in local settings, do not sufficiently address the legal and financial complexities encountered in broader markets. By incorporating formal legal structures alongside Islamic financial principles, such as musharakah (partnership) and mudharabah (profit-sharing), MSMEs benefit from both ethical and legal protection. This hybrid approach allows MSMEs to secure contract enforcement and resolve disputes, while remaining aligned with cultural and legal norms, enabling successful operations in both local and global markets. The study emphasizes the need for educational programs to raise awareness among MSME owners about the benefits of formal legal protections and Islamic financial instruments. These educational efforts are crucial for improving transparency, promoting risk-sharing, and facilitating interest-free financing options for MSMEs. By integrating local wisdom with formal legal frameworks, MSMEs can strengthen their resilience and competitiveness, especially in sectors like manufacturing and construction, where formal contracts play a vital role in protecting business interests. The research concludes with recommendations for further enhancing MSME legal protection through a more cohesive integration of local wisdom and formal legal mechanisms. This integrated approach will help MSMEs improve their competitiveness, access broader opportunities, and ensure long-term sustainability in an increasingly complex economic environment.

Abstract

The formation of the problem of double or overlapping certificates in Indonesia is a crucial issue caused by various factors, such as weak land administration systems, invalid data, lack of physical verification, and inaccurate land boundary mapping. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause double and overlapping land certificates in Indonesia and efforts to provide legal accountability for PPATs related to the existence of double and overlapping land certificates in Indonesia. This study is a juridical-normative study with a conceptual and legislative approach. The results of the study confirm that the Land Deed Making Officer (PPAT) has legal responsibility for errors or violations committed, both in administrative, civil, and criminal aspects. The level of error of PPAT in issuing deeds related to double or overlapping certificates is the basis for determining the form of legal accountability that can be imposed. Therefore, supervision and law enforcement of PPATs are very important to ensure legal certainty and maintain public trust in land transactions.
