Abstract

The imperative to expedite the reduction of stunting rates has emerged as a paramount policy goal, garnering unanimous support from local governments across Indonesia. Banyuwangi Regency, in its commitment to this cause, has introduced the Banyuwangi Tanggap Stunting (BTS) Program, an innovative initiative aimed at diminishing stunting prevalence. The success of this program hinges on the endorsement and proactive involvement of all village governments within Banyuwangi Regency. Crucially, the efficacy of such policies necessitates a foundation rooted in the Political Will of village governments to facilitate implementation. This study delves into the case of Kedunggebang Village, situated in the Tegaldlimo District, which has embarked on the BTS program through a collaborative, cross-sectoral approach and extensive community counseling efforts. The primary objective of this research is to elucidate the Political Will exhibited by the Kedunggebang village government in supporting the BTS initiative, while also examining the impediments encountered during its implementation. Employing qualitative descriptive methods and in-depth interviews, this research employs the Brinkerhoff Theory as an analytical framework. Notably, the study stands out as a multidisciplinary exploration, scrutinizing public health concerns through the lenses of public policy and government bureaucracy. The findings reveal a nuanced scenario where the Kedunggebang Village Government demonstrates a lower level of Political Will, yet exhibits the capacity to effectively implement the BTS program. Consequently, the study advocates for essential bureaucratic reforms, including the enactment of village regulations, the formulation of comprehensive village development plans, and the establishment of a dedicated task force to accelerate the reduction of stunting rates.

Abstract

Gender-based violence is a phenomenon that is still encountered in academic environments, including at Semarang State University (UNNES). This study aims to analyze gender-based violence at UNNES from the point of view of international law, international conventions that have been ratified by Indonesia related to women's protection, and existing regulations and policies at UNNES related to this issue. The research method used is a juridical normative approach by collecting data through literature studies, document analysis, and interviews with related parties. The results showed that gender-based violence at UNNES includes various forms, including sexual harassment, gender discrimination, gender stereotypes, and policies that are not in favor of women. This research also revealed that UNNES has adopted several regulations and policies related to gender issues, but there is still a gap between existing policies and their implementation. In addition, international conventions that have been ratified by Indonesia are also an important basis in protecting women from gender-based violence in the academic environment. This research provides recommendations to UNNES to strengthen the implementation of existing regulations and policies related to gender issues, as well as increase awareness and understanding of gender-based violence to the entire UNNES academic community. In addition, this research is also expected to be a reference for researchers and policy makers in dealing with the issue of gender-based violence in the university environment and encourage the adoption of policies that favor the protection of women's rights.

Abstract

This research conducts a comprehensive exploration of the nuanced dimensions surrounding the role and protection of victims of sexual violence against children in Indonesia, with a specific focus on Decision Number 28/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bbs, employing a normative juridical methodology. The study aims to reveal legal intricacies in victim form and protection throughout the judicial proceedings outlined in Decision Number 28/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bbs, utilizing secondary sources such as laws, regulations, books, legal journal articles, and media coverage. Employing a descriptive analytical approach, the research identifies two pivotal dimensions. Firstly, victims of sexual violence against children in Decision Number 28/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bbs exhibit vulnerability, easily persuadable traits, and compromised mental and physical conditions. External factors, including determinants of life, personality, and education, further contribute to the complexity of their roles. Secondly, an exploration of victim protection within the decision reveals that not all legally stipulated safeguards are embraced, with the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) providing no support due to a lack of initiative from the family or law enforcement officials. Despite this, non-juridical protections, particularly in health, were identified, such as post-mortem medical treatment. To enhance comprehensiveness, the study incorporates perspectives of advocacy and victim protection, critically examining the efficacy of advocacy initiatives and evaluating existing frameworks for both juridical and non-juridical protection. This comprehensive approach aims to provide a holistic understanding of challenges and opportunities in safeguarding victims of sexual violence against children within the context of Decision Number 28/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Bbs.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serve as the economic backbone of communities, with their sustainability influenced by various factors, including adherence to business legality. Among the crucial legal aspects, obtaining halal certification stands out as a pivotal requirement. This certification plays a vital role for business entities, aiming to bolster consumer confidence in the products they offer. The research conducted adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis. Surveys and direct interviews with service partners reveal significant challenges faced by these partners. These challenges encompass a spectrum from comprehending the importance of halal food products and the processes involved in their production to understanding the intricacies of halal certification and the necessary steps to obtain it. In accordance with the Halal Product Assurance regulations, the implementation of halal certification in Indonesia is mandated to expedite. Notably, by no later than October 17, 2024, all products entering, circulating, and trading in Indonesia must be duly halal-certified. This stringent timeline underscores the urgency for businesses to prioritize obtaining halal certification, positioning it as a critical component of their legal obligations. The significance of halal certificates extends beyond mere compliance, serving as a testament to a business's commitment to meeting the ethical and religious considerations of its diverse consumer base. This study also advocates for the important role of halal certification in sustaining MSMEs as the economic backbone of communities. The findings underscore the need for robust policy-making, emphasizing the urgency of halal certification in accordance with Halal Product Assurance regulations in Indonesia. The research aligns with the advocacy for policies that prioritize the timely implementation of halal certification, recognizing it as a critical component for MSMEs to meet legal obligations and enhance consumer trust.

Abstract

The emergence of various cases of radicalism in universities is the responsibility of all parties. Various cases that occur in universities show that campuses in Indonesia are very vulnerable to being compiled by radical ideas and terrorism movements, even considered to have no clear curriculum direction in preventing radicalism and terrorism. This study aims to analyze three important things in the issue of radicalism and terrorism in universities, especially at Semarang State University, namely, first how radicalism prevention policies in universities (study at UNNES); second, how to implement policies to prevent radicalism and terrorism at UNNES; and third, how UNNES campus efforts to overcome students or lecturers exposed to radicalism and terrorism. The method used in this study is a mixed method that combines normative juridical research with empirical data in the field. The projected results of this study are in the form of real data regarding the implementation of religious freedom regulations on the UNNES campus. The output of this research is in the form of articles published in accredited national journals.

Abstract

This research primarily aims to investigate the opportunities for the internalized implementation of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) within the judicial system for the settlement of small claims in Indonesia. Several positive features of ODR, such as its ease, speed, and cost-effectiveness, can serve as catalysts for the settlement of small claims. Currently, Article 6A of the Supreme Court Regulations No. 4 of 2019 concerning the Settlement Procedure of Small Claims (the Small Claims Regulation) also allows for the use of electronic case administration in accordance with relevant legislation. This study employs a normative juridical research approach with a qualitative descriptive analysis method. The data used consist of secondary data, including primary legal sources from various legislative regulations. Additionally, data from journal articles, reports, and other literature related to ODR and small claims are utilized. A comparative study with the United States is employed to gain insights into best practices for implementing ODR in small claims settlement. Subsequently, this research proposes several steps for the ODR process in resolving simple lawsuits, including case initiation, negotiation, mediation, and adjudication. Furthermore, it emphasizes the principles of ODR that need to be upheld, such as voluntariness, accountability, and impartiality. Ultimately, integrating technology into civil justice systems through ODR will enhance the effectiveness and accessibility of justice in resolving small claims.

Abstract

The exploration of Restorative Justice (RJ) in Indonesia's border areas, particularly within the context of North Central Timor High School, reveals intriguing insights into its implementation and reception among students. This study, employing an empirical legal research approach focused on statutory analysis, factual examination, and thoughtful analysis, sheds light on the evolving landscape of Indonesia's criminal justice system. Notably, the research highlights that while PERMENDIKBUD 46/23 initially adopts a distributive punishment framework, there exists a growing inclination towards adopting RJ principles. A significant proportion of students, constituting 55.50%, express strong support for the incorporation of RJ within the school environment. Moreover, a majority (51%) acknowledge the presence of RJ initiatives within their schools, emphasizing the gradual acceptance of this alternative approach. Furthermore, the findings underscore the importance of transparency in RJ practices, with 40% of students recognizing its significance. Additionally, a notable percentage (35.5%) of students endorse the application of RJ in addressing issues of sexual violence, signaling a potential avenue for addressing such sensitive matters within the school community. Crucially, a substantial proportion (43.33%) of students advocate for the active involvement of schools in facilitating the resolution of sexual violence cases through RJ processes. This underscores the pivotal role educational institutions can play in fostering a culture of accountability and restoration. Overall, the student perspectives elucidated in this research offer valuable insights into the feasibility and efficacy of RJ in addressing not only disciplinary matters but also complex issues like sexual violence within educational settings. As Indonesia continues to explore innovative approaches to justice, the embrace of RJ principles signifies a promising step towards fostering a more inclusive and restorative justice system.

Abstract

Indonesia needs to reduce the carbon footprint from the The Paris Agreement result, a legally binding international treaty on climate change, which entered into force on 4 November 2016. One of the outputs from the Paris Agreement is that the country needs to submit their national climate action plans, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs). To achieve a sustainable future, Indonesia has Enhanced National Determined Contribution (ENDC) and committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 41 percent by 2030. This commitment is included in the Indonesia Emas 2045 (Golden Indonesia 2045) Program. However, the goals are still focusing on the physical carbon footprint. In the Indonesian Net Zero Emission Goals which needs to be achieved in 2060 the five steps mentioned are increasing the utilization of new renewable energy, reduction of fossil energy, the use of electric vehicles in the transportation sector, increasing electricity use in households and industry, and finally the utilization of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Indonesia also needs to focus on reducing the digital carbon footprint as it currently increases with the usage of digital technologies. The research questions discussed in this paper are how Indonesia currently regulates digital carbon footprint in Indonesia, and what can Indonesia do to reduce digital carbon footprint. This research aims to analyze the current condition and current regulation on digital carbon footprint in Indonesia, and how Indonesian government can learn from other countries to reduce the digital carbon footprint in Indonesia. Methodologies used in this research are normative approach and comparative approach. The output of this research is a regulation to reduce digital carbon footprint in Indonesia, and to regulate the business actors to create ESG reports on a company's sustainability.
