Abstract

This study examines the paradigmatic contribution of Prophetic social science to Indonesian law enforcement through the integration of humanization, liberation, and transcendence as the core values of prophetic jurisprudence. The research responds to the persistent dominance of legal positivism in Indonesia, which tends to separate law from ethical and spiritual dimensions, resulting in procedural legalism that often neglects substantive justice and human dignity. Using a normative legal research method with philosophical and conceptual approaches, this study analyzes legislation, legal doctrines, judicial principles, and scholarly works concerning prophetic law and Indonesian legal reform. The findings demonstrate that prophetic jurisprudence offers a transformative legal paradigm grounded in Islamic ethical teachings derived from the Qur’an and Hadith. Humanization is reflected in the development of restorative justice and rehabilitation-oriented correctional systems that prioritize human dignity over retributive punishment. Liberation is manifested through efforts to combat structural injustice, strengthen transparency, and implement digital justice systems aimed at preventing corruption and abuse of power. Transcendence is embodied in the constitutional and philosophical foundations of Indonesian law, particularly through Pancasila and legal norms emphasizing divine accountability and moral consciousness in law enforcement. This study concludes that prophetic jurisprudence provides a comprehensive alternative to positivistic legal frameworks by integrating moral, social, and spiritual dimensions into legal practice. The prophetic paradigm contributes significantly to the development of a more humane, just, and transformative legal system in Indonesia, capable of harmonizing legal certainty with substantive justice and ethical responsibility.

Abstract

The integration of AI into judicial systems represents a consequential and underregulated transformation in modern governance. This study is anchored in the accountability gap framework, which argues that autonomous systems create a gap between human agency and legal responsibility, and in the principle of due process, which requires procedural compliance and protection of fundamental rights in AI-mediated decisions. The study evaluates the opportunities and risks associated with AI in legal document automation, case management, predictive analytics, and decision-making. The study analyzes the ethical, legal, and practical challenges AI poses to judicial systems, including bias, accountability, transparency, and data protection. A qualitative methodology, including doctrinal analysis and document review, examined legislation, case law, and institutional frameworks, supported by empirical illustrations. The findings highlight efficiency gains, improved access to justice, and enhanced analytical capabilities. In response to the identified risks, the research recommends establishing ethical oversight boards, maintaining AI transparency logs, developing hybrid human-AI decision-making frameworks, and implementing robust legislative mechanisms. AI offers unprecedented advances in case management, improved legal research, and more consistent analytical support for judicial decision-making. Its deployment must be carefully and strictly regulated. The paper concludes that efficiency and fairness are not inherently opposed, but that realizing both requires moving beyond technical fixes toward structural legal reform.

Abstract

Historical ties between Indonesia and Palestine underpin Indonesia's steadfast commitment to supporting Palestine's right to independence. The Al-Aqsa Flood incident on October 7, 2023, followed by Israel’s massive invasion of Palestine, escalated the conflict in Palestine exponentially. This conflict has drawn the attention of the world, including Indonesia, to drastically intensify its diplomacy in supporting Palestine’s independence. Indonesia has undertaken a "Diplomacy Jihad" by actively defending Palestinian rights through various United Nations forums such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), and others. This normative-empirical research critically evaluates the effectiveness of Indonesia’s diplomatic efforts and the obstacles it faces in advocating for Palestinian independence within the UN framework post-October 7, 2023. Our hypothesis is that Indonesia's diplomacy at the UN generally represents an effective form of advocacy in this "Diplomacy Jihad," although critical challenges hinder the potential for an even stronger performance, a trend that is worsening in 2026.

Abstract

Geoengineering is considered a potential scientific technique involving carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management, aimed at manipulating Earth's climate to mitigate the effects of global climate change. However, despite the potential of geoengineering, there are several legal, environmental, socio-economic, and ethical issues associated with its reliance. Concerning this, the aim is to evaluate geoengineering as an option for mitigating climate change while critiquing legal deficiencies and proposing policy measures for its regulation. Hence, the study adopts a doctrinal method, relying on primary and secondary research materials such as international law, scholarly articles by learned authors, and other relevant sources. A descriptive and analytical style was adopted in analysing the data obtained from the research sources. The findings reveal that the scientific concept of geoengineering is quite promising in mitigating the impacts of climate change through carbon emissions and the management of solar radiation. However, there seems to be a lack of clear legal regulation, leading to a lack of oversight of geoengineering activities, uncertainty about liability for environmental harm, and cross-border issues. Furthermore, developing countries may also face the challenges of adapting to new scientific concepts, given the technical and scientific skills involved, and the inability to fund the geoengineering project. The study agrees that geoengineering has the potential to curtail climate change but concludes that its legal, ethical, and socio-economic challenges should be addressed by the international community through an effective legal framework and the provision of financial aid to developing countries to ensure the responsible application of geoengineering in climate change mitigation.

Abstract

Constitutional values have not yet been effectively internalized within society, as reflected in the low level of legal awareness. Existing efforts are still dominated by formal legal outreach, which has not adequately addressed society's cultural dimensions. Meanwhile, Da’wah, despite its close connection to cultural transformation in Muslim communities, is still perceived as separate from state values, thereby creating a gap in the development of constitutional awareness. This condition calls for an integrative approach to transforming legal culture. Therefore, this study raises the following research question: How can an integrative model be formulated to effectively transform society's legal culture through Da’wah methods and constitutional values? This study aims to formulate an integrative model between Da’wah methods and constitutional values as a strategy for transforming legal culture. Using a normative legal method with a conceptual approach, this research examines the relationship between constitutional principles and Da’wah strategies. The findings reveal an integrative constitutional Da’wah model based on the alignment of Islamic and constitutional values (substantive congruence), thereby generating dual legitimacy—religious and constitutional. The model is operationalized through two main strategies: (1) substantive integration into Da’wah content, and (2) institutional integration through religious spaces such as mosques, Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), and Islamic study circles (majelis taklim). Based on these findings, it is recommended to develop a constitutional Da’wah model that integrates Islamic and constitutional values, positioning Da’wah as a transformative tool to enhance legal awareness and participatory legal culture.

Abstract

Elections are held periodically to select national leaders and legislative representatives who are expected to effectively carry out their constitutional and democratic mandates. Indonesia’s 2024 general election presented both new challenges and opportunities, particularly as electoral competition increasingly expanded into digital spaces. The growing reliance on digital platforms has transformed conventional campaign strategies and encouraged candidates and political actors to adopt emerging technologies to communicate with voters, disseminate political messages, and mobilize public support. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as an increasingly important instrument for conducting electoral campaigns in more innovative, targeted, and efficient ways. Nevertheless, the use of AI in electoral processes also raises significant legal concerns, particularly regarding transparency, accountability, personal data protection, the dissemination of AI-generated content, and the potential manipulation of information and voter preferences. Accordingly, the development of an electoral system involving AI requires a coherent and integrated legal framework. This article argues that closer regulatory alignment is required among Indonesia’s Election Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and the Personal Data Protection Law. Regulatory fragmentation and overlapping provisions may create legal uncertainty concerning the responsibilities of candidates, political parties, digital platforms, and other actors using AI during elections. Harmonization among these regulatory frameworks is therefore essential to establish clear standards of accountability, transparency, and personal data protection throughout AI-assisted electoral processes, particularly in political campaigning and other technology-mediated electoral activities. Ultimately, an integrated regulatory approach is necessary to ensure that technological innovation can be accommodated without undermining legal certainty, electoral integrity, and the fundamental principles of democratic elections.

Abstract

Indonesian judicial law combines commitments to legality, justice, responsiveness to living legal values, and reasoned decision-making. A persistent challenge, however, lies in translating these commitments into the adjudication of hard cases without allowing substantive justice to develop into unconstrained judicial discretion. This study develops a prophetic approach to judicial reasoning through normative legal research, drawing on statutory, conceptual, prophetic-jurisprudential, and case-law approaches. It identifies an operational normative gap between Indonesia’s justice-oriented judicial mandates and the methodological tools available for incorporating human dignity, structural injustice, and ethical responsibility into judicial reasoning. To address this gap, the study proposes the Prophetic Judicial Reasoning Framework (PJRF), which integrates legal identification, interpretation, judicial discretion, balancing, and reasoned justification within three interrelated prophetic dimensions. Humanization requires judicial reasoning to protect human dignity, substantive equality, and the concrete interests of persons affected by legal decisions. Liberation directs judges to identify and respond to structural injustice, domination, discrimination, and unequal power relations while remaining anchored in legally permissible reasoning. Transcendence provides an ethical orientation that connects judicial authority with moral responsibility, integrity, and accountability beyond merely formal compliance with positive law. These prophetic dimensions operate as evaluative criteria throughout the reasoning process, while legal anchoring, reason-giving, proportionality, consistency, and reviewability function as institutional safeguards against arbitrary discretion. The PJRF therefore contributes to prophetic-law scholarship by shifting its analytical focus from retrospective evaluations of judicial outcomes to a structured methodology that helps judges justify legally available choices in a manner that is simultaneously juridical, humane, emancipatory, and ethically accountable.
