Abstract

Indonesia, recognized as the second largest marine polluter globally, faces a significant environmental crisis despite stringent international policies and vigorous social movements advocating for sustainability. According to data from INAPLAS and BPS, Indonesia generates 64 million tons of plastic waste annually, with 3.2 million tons ending up in the sea. The waste management system in Indonesia is rudimentary, involving basic stages of collection, transportation, and disposal, with processing occurring only at the final destination. Amidst this waste crisis, Indonesia continues to import plastic waste from countries such as the United States, Germany, Australia, and Hong Kong, exacerbating the environmental and health hazards. This paper explores the paradox of plastic waste import in Indonesia, focusing on how international policies, including the Basel Convention and its recent amendments, intersect with local regulations and their enforcement. It also examines the role of social movements in combating plastic waste imports and advocating for environmental sustainability. The central problem addressed is the regulatory and social polemic surrounding waste importation in Indonesia, considering the social, political, and legal dimensions. Employing a conceptual and statute approach, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the waste import regulation issues linked to social problems within Indonesian society. It argues that the complexity of international trade, economic incentives, and insufficient regulation enforcement contribute to the paradoxical situation where policies and advocacy efforts seem misaligned with outcomes. The findings offer social and juridical recommendations for the Indonesian government and society to address the waste import dilemma effectively. By aligning policies with environmental goals and leveraging social movements, Indonesia can drive significant change towards sustainable waste management practices.

Abstract

Indonesian Government confronts a multifaceted challenge in repatriating former ISIS members, necessitating a delicate equilibrium between advocacy, citizenship status, and human rights principles. International conventions uphold the fundamental right to nationality, articulated in Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, yet over 500 former ISIS members from Indonesia remain stranded in Syria, having illegally departed and destroyed their official documentation. While several countries in Southeast Asia and Europe have undertaken repatriation efforts under rigorous conditions, Indonesia faces a quandary. These individuals do not qualify as People with Social Welfare Problems under domestic law, complicating their reintegration. This classification divergence conflicts with international obligations requiring nations to accept and restore nationality to their citizens, notwithstanding their affiliation with extremist groups not recognized as refugees by the UNHCR. This paper delves into the legal and humanitarian imperatives compelling Indonesia to address this issue. It examines international frameworks and national legislation to argue for the necessity of repatriation, while also exploring the preventive and repressive measures Indonesia employs. Balancing the imperative to safeguard human rights with national security concerns presents a formidable task, demanding a nuanced approach that ensures compliance with international standards while safeguarding domestic stability and security.

Abstract

An effort to protect workers throughout an economic transition to a sustainable economy gave rise to the concept of a just transition. This is because the transition will have an effect on the employment in which workers are engaged. Based on this concept, this study examines Indonesia’s worker response to a just transition. Non-doctrinal research was used to conduct the study. This study shows that the question of a just transition is not now at the forefront of the workers movement in Indonesia. Neoliberalization of Indonesian labour law, nollen vollens, encourages the workers movement to continue concentrating on economic concerns, particularly those involving the fundamental rights of workers. Under these circumstances, Indonesia runs the risk of failing to accomplish a just transition, which would put workers in a ‘dark world’ while the economy moves towards a green economy.

Abstract

This research critically examines the justice system and legal certainty pertaining to stateless persons in Indonesia. Stateless individuals in Indonesia frequently encounter systemic discrimination and endure hardships due to inadequate legal protections. The study employs a normative juridical research approach, combining statutory analysis and conceptual exploration to assess the current regulatory framework. The findings underscore significant gaps in existing regulations that fail to adequately safeguard the rights of stateless persons. These individuals often struggle to access basic human rights such as education, healthcare, and employment, highlighting a critical need for legislative reforms. Legal certainty is a pivotal issue, as the ambiguity and inconsistencies within Indonesian laws contribute to the vulnerability of stateless populations. Furthermore, the research identifies discrepancies between national laws and constitutional mandates, which further complicate the legal landscape for stateless persons. This analysis aims to advocate for policy reforms that align with principles of justice and constitutional integrity, proposing measures to enhance legal protections and ensure equitable treatment for stateless individuals in Indonesia. By illuminating these challenges and proposing potential avenues for legal reform, this research seeks to contribute to broader discussions on human rights, migration, and legal justice within the Indonesian context, ultimately advocating for a more inclusive and just society for stateless persons

Abstract

This paper explores the role of universities in advancing Pancasila as a guiding ideology through community engagement in Kenteng Village. As Indonesia faces challenges in maintaining national identity and unity, the significance of Pancasila— the nation’s foundational philosophical framework—cannot be overstated. The study examines a collaborative program initiated by a local university aimed at fostering ideological understanding and enhancing national awareness among villagers. Through workshops, seminars, and hands-on activities, university students and faculty worked closely with the Kenteng community to facilitate discussions on Pancasila values, encouraging active participation in civic life. The program also aimed to empower villagers by equipping them with skills and knowledge to promote social cohesion and resilience. The findings indicate that the initiative not only deepened the community's appreciation for Pancasila but also strengthened ties between the university and the village. Participants reported increased awareness of national issues and a stronger commitment to local governance and community development. This case study demonstrates that effective community engagement by universities can serve as a model for similar initiatives across Indonesia, reinforcing the importance of Pancasila in contemporary society. Ultimately, the paper advocates for a more structured approach to university-community partnerships, highlighting their potential to cultivate a deeper understanding of national identity and values among future generations.

Abstract

This paper investigates the role of Pancasila-based legal education through the Street Law model in advocating for social transformation and fostering nationalism among youth in Kenteng Village. As Indonesia strives to strengthen its national identity, particularly among younger generations, integrating Pancasila— the nation’s foundational ideology— into legal education becomes essential. The study outlines a community-driven program that engages university students and local youth in interactive legal workshops, promoting awareness of rights, responsibilities, and civic engagement rooted in Pancasila values. Through participatory methods, the program encourages youth to actively engage in discussions about legal issues and national identity, thereby enhancing their understanding of Indonesian democracy and governance. The findings reveal that this approach not only cultivates a sense of nationalism among participants but also empowers them to become advocates for their communities. Participants reported increased confidence in navigating legal matters and a stronger commitment to civic involvement. This research highlights the importance of advocacy in legal education as a catalyst for social change, demonstrating that the Street Law model can effectively bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application in the community. Ultimately, the paper argues for broader implementation of Pancasila-based legal education programs across Indonesia, suggesting that such initiatives can play a vital role in nurturing a generation of informed and engaged citizens dedicated to the ideals of Pancasila.
