Abstract

Industrial downstreaming in the nickel sector is currently a national priority scale that is being intensively carried out by the government since 2020. The projection of processing by the state is intended as the main raw material in the manufacture of battery production as a renewable energy that is environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, uncontrolled damage is also exacerbated by the Job Creation Law which does not provide a clear picture of how administrative sanctions can realize environmental compliance, so that in fact to this day the downstream nickel industry is carried out recklessly. This research uses normative legal methods that refer to laws and regulations related to the environment with the nature of descriptive and explanatory research to analyze the phenomenon of forest destruction in Maluku and Sulawesi. The research is accompanied by literature studies in the form of books, journals, and other literature. Data analysis uses descriptive qualitative to describe ongoing legal phenomena through comparative studies of other countries. The reason for choosing this research is because the crucial nature of forest destruction that has led to environmental deforestation in Halmahera needs to be addressed immediately by examining the legal normativeness in the Job Creation Law and comparing it with the legal phenomenon in Nigeria. This research study also uses a comparative method to find legal symptoms and phenomena that occur in society, especially in other countries.The results show that downstream industries that have an impact on forest destruction, especially deforestation, require repositioning of the administrative sanctions reviewed which were removed in the Job Creation Law. The repositioning is constructed by the author as an effort to aggravate administrative sanctions without ignoring the concept of reparatoir in it like the Nigerian state, so that administrative sanctions still embody environmental ethical values through the assessment of violations that prioritize the concept of real forest restoration.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of non-custodial sanctions within Indonesia’s juvenile justice system, with a particular focus on the implementation of restorative justice in Bengkulu Province. Grounded in Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System (UU SPPA) and international instruments such as the CRC and Tokyo Rules, the research explores the normative, institutional, and empirical dimensions of diversion and community-based sanctions for children in conflict with the law. Adopting a socio-legal methodology, the study combines doctrinal analysis with qualitative fieldwork involving 25 semi-structured interviews with judges, prosecutors, police investigators, correctional officers, and community leaders, complemented by direct observations of diversion sessions and the analysis of court and institutional documents. The findings reveal a strong normative commitment to restorative principles but highlight significant gaps in practice due to limited institutional capacity, inconsistent inter-agency coordination, and persistent cultural stigmas. Diversion programs in Bengkulu have demonstrated positive impacts on rehabilitation and social reintegration, particularly when supported by families and local communities. However, the absence of standardized procedures, integrated data systems, and adequate professional training undermines long-term sustainability. The study concludes that meaningful juvenile justice reform requires not only legal and procedural refinement but also transformative engagement with societal attitudes and sustained investment in supportive infrastructure. It further offers concrete policy recommendations to strengthen the restorative justice ecosystem and promote a more humane, rights-based approach to juvenile justice in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology has reshaped the digital landscape, particularly in content creation, storage, and distribution. Despite these innovations, Indonesia’s copyright law has not kept pace, creating a pressing research problem: the adequacy of existing regulations in addressing AI- and blockchain-based works. This study aims to examine the legal implications of these technologies and evaluate whether Indonesia’s current copyright framework, particularly Law No. 28 of 2014, can effectively respond to such challenges. Using a normative juridical methodology that combines statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the research examines Indonesian copyright law and contrasts it with developments in the European Union and the United States. The findings reveal critical regulatory gaps, including the absence of recognition for non-human authorship, insufficient mechanisms for decentralized content management, and the lack of clarity on smart contract-based licensing. These deficiencies create legal uncertainty that risks weakening the protection of creators’ rights in the digital era. The study contributes by emphasizing the significance of adaptive and technology-responsive reforms, recommending proactive legislative updates and the adoption of flexible legal doctrines to ensure Indonesian copyright law remains effective and relevant in the face of rapid technological change.

Abstract

Donald Trump, President of the United States, implemented a reciprocal tariff international trade policy that aims to regulate commercial exchanges between countries. The reciprocal tariff policy has sparked controversy, where several countries have rejected this policy and considered it a violation of World Trade Organization (WTO) principles. Under this policy, countries deemed to have significant barriers to products originating from the United States will be subject to a minimum tariff of 10% with some countries are subject to much higher tariffs, such as Vietnam, which faces a 46%, including Indonesia which faces 32% increase in import tariffs to the United States. This study examines how Donald Trump’s Reciprocal Tariff policy aligns with World Trade Organization (WTO) principles and agreements, and how the Indonesian government has responded legally to this policy. The fundamental World Trade Organization (WTO) principles are based on non-discrimination, yet the tariffs imposed vary between countries. To determine the appropriate response, Indonesia must consider a strategic lens that balances risk, utility, and long-term national interest. By thoroughly analyzing these factors, this study aims to provide insights into the potential violations of World Trade Organization (WTO) principles by the tariff policy and recommend how Indonesia should respond effectively. Employing a normative juridical research method, the study combines statutory and case approaches, supported by secondary literature, and expert interviews. The findings show that the reciprocal tariff policy violates fundamental WTO principles, especially Most-Favored Nations principle under Article 1 GATT, tariff binding principle under Article II GATT, National Treatment principle under Article III GATT, and Publication and Administration of Trade Regulations provision under Article X GATT. The best legal steps that the Indonesian government can take in dealing with the reciprocal tariff policy is by initiating negotiation.

Abstract

The regulation of village head elections in Indonesia reflects the state’s effort to balance democratic participation with administrative efficiency at the local level. However, a legal gap arises when restrictions on the number of village head candidates are implemented through derivative regional regulations, raising questions about their compatibility with democratic principles and the constitutional guarantee of political rights. This study aims to examine whether the limitation of village head candidates in Bangkalan Regency is consistent with the concept of democracy and to assess the implications of the additional selection mechanism based on a scoring system. This research employs a normative legal research method using a statute approach and a conceptual approach by analyzing constitutional provisions, statutory regulations, ministerial regulations, and regent regulations related to village head elections. The findings reveal that the restriction of candidates is legally valid from an administrative perspective, as it is justified by considerations of effectiveness, efficiency, budgetary limitations, and the need to prevent social conflict in simultaneous village head elections. Nevertheless, from a democratic perspective, such restrictions present a normative dilemma, as they have the potential to reduce the quality of political participation and undermine the principle of political equality, particularly for prospective candidates who lack access to adequate information or resources. The use of a scoring system in additional selection further intensifies this issue by introducing subjective and uneven assessment criteria that may disadvantage certain segments of society. This study contributes to legal scholarship by demonstrating that while administrative efficiency is an important objective, it should not override fundamental democratic values. The research underscores the need for transparent, accountable, and participatory regulatory designs to ensure that local election governance upholds both administrative effectiveness and the protection of citizens’ civil and political rights within Indonesia’s democratic framework.

Abstract

Community service sentence is a form of non-custodial punishment aimed at shifting the orientation of penal policy from a retributive approach towards a more corrective and restorative one. This type of punishment provides an opportunity for perpetrators of minor offenses to amend their wrongdoing through tangible contributions to society without having to serve imprisonment. However, to date, the regulation of community service sentencing remains legally unregulated within the Indonesian criminal procedural system, particularly in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). This legal vacuum has resulted in the absence of an adequate legal basis for judges and law enforcement officials to impose and implement such a sentence. This article aims to examine community service punishment as a form of ius constituendum, namely, law that ought to be enacted in the future, within the framework of KUHAP reform. By employing normative and conceptual approaches, this article explores the urgency, rationality, and regulatory direction of community service sentencing within the national penal system. The findings indicate that the inclusion of community service punishment in the forthcoming KUHAP is crucial to realizing a more proportional, humane penal system that aligns with the principles of corrective justice and the demands of a modern criminal justice system. This article further argues that the current legal vacuum reflects the unresponsiveness of Indonesia’s criminal justice system, and calls for a responsive legal framework in line with the theory of responsive law, ensuring that legal reforms are attuned to evolving societal needs and values of justice.

Abstract

The dualism of land management authority between the Batam Indonesia Free Zone Authority (BP Batam) and the Batam Municipal Government has generated persistent legal and administrative challenges in the issuance of Building Use Right Certificates in Batam City. Overlapping authority has resulted in prolonged certification procedures, regulatory inconsistencies, and heightened legal uncertainty, which negatively affect investment realization and the effectiveness of land governance. Despite the existence of comprehensive statutory frameworks, the implementation of HGB certification in Batam continues to encounter structural obstacles arising from fragmented institutional authority. This study aims to examine the impact of the dualism of authority between BP Batam and the Batam Municipal Government on HGB certification services and to propose policy recommendations to enhance legal certainty and administrative efficiency. The research employs empirical legal research using a statutory and phenomenological approach. The findings indicate that the dual authority structure has significantly delayed HGB certification, with more than 1,100 applications pending in 2023 and affected investment values amounting to approximately IDR 2.3 trillion. Divergent documentary requirements, zoning maps, and procedural standards between BP Batam and the municipal government have created duplicative processes and extended verification stages, resulting in certification timelines of up to 180 days for land parcels requiring approval from both authorities. Although BP Batam regulations provide detailed technical guidance and strong formal legal legitimacy, their implementation is frequently misaligned with municipal policies, thereby weakening substantive legal certainty. The study further reveals that limited inter-agency coordination, insufficient integration of information systems, and the absence of binding dispute-resolution mechanisms contribute to recurring land disputes and litigation. The study concludes that resolving land governance dualism in Batam requires regulatory harmonization, clearer delineation of authority, and the establishment of an integrated One Door Service Unit supported by a Batam-specific Online Single Submission system to accelerate certification processes and strengthen legal certainty.

Abstract

Banking customer default (wanprestasi) cases have increasingly dominated civil litigation in Indonesian district courts, particularly following the economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While debtors frequently acknowledge contractual breach, courts are often confronted with non-juridical arguments based on economic hardship, creating a tension between strict contractual enforcement and the pursuit of substantive contractual justice. This study aims to analyze judicial reasoning in adjudicating banking customer default by examining Decision No. 22/Pdt.G.S/2023/PN Batam and assessing its conformity with the provisions of the Indonesian Civil Code. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and case approaches, relying on secondary legal materials including court decisions, statutory regulations, and legal doctrines. The findings reveal that the court consistently applied Articles 1239, 1243, and 1244 of the Civil Code, declaring the defendant in default due to failure to fulfill credit repayment obligations despite multiple formal warnings (somasi). Judicial reasoning was primarily grounded in written evidence and the debtor’s explicit acknowledgment of default, allowing the case to be resolved efficiently under the simplified lawsuit mechanism. The court ordered full repayment of the outstanding loan or, alternatively, authorized the auction of collateral through the State Assets and Auction Service Office (KPKNL). However, the analysis also indicates that the judgment predominantly emphasized legal certainty and contractual compliance while giving limited consideration to the debtor’s post-pandemic economic condition and request for installment relief. This study is significant as it demonstrates how simplified civil procedures reinforce creditor protection and procedural efficiency, yet simultaneously expose limitations in accommodating substantive contractual justice. The findings contribute to the development of default theory in banking law and provide critical insights for improving judicial responsiveness in contractual disputes involving socio-economic vulnerability.

Abstract

The proliferation of dark patterns, which are manipulative interface designs that influence user decisions, poses a major legal challenge in e-commerce by compromising consumer autonomy. However, existing Indonesian legal instruments (Consumer Protection Law, the amended EIT Law, and the Personal Data Protection Law) do not explicitly address them. The core legal issue lies in the absence of clear legal provisions, definitions, and enforcement mechanisms governing dark patterns in Indonesia’s digital marketplace. This study aims to evaluate the regulatory gaps in Indonesia's consumer protection framework by comparing it with more advanced legal systems in South Korea and the European Union. Employing a normative legal research method and a comparative-legal approach, the study analyzes legal texts and institutional mechanisms from all three jurisdictions. The findings indicate three regulatory gaps in Indonesia: the lack of explicit substantive prohibitions, the absence of specialized institutional oversight, and the unavailability of technical guidelines for digital interface governance. In contrast, South Korea regulates five categories of dark patterns through its E-Commerce Act and enforces compliance through the Korea Fair Trade Commission, while the European Union explicitly prohibits deceptive design practices under the Digital Service Act, supported by the UCPD, GDPR, and the EDPB Guidelines. These comparative insights indicate that Indonesia’s reactive regulatory posture fails to reflect the ideals of justice, legal certainty, and social utility as articulated by Gustav Radbruch. Academically, this study contributes by offering a structured three-pillar framework: substantive norms, institutional strengthening, and technical guidelines, as a foundation for developing a more adaptive and consumer-centered digital regulatory system. To remedy this, the study recommends adopting a progressive legal strategy inspired by Satjipto Rahardjo, involving explicit statutory definitions, institutional reforms, and technical instruments such as interface ethics guidelines and integrated digital dispute resolution systems.
Religious Norms vs. Global Trade Regulations: An Analysis of the WTO DS477/478 Dispute and Indonesia’s Halal Certification Sutrisno, Andri; Priyono, F.X. Joko; Trihastuti, Nanik; Maulidah, Khilmatin; Wendra, Muhammad

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia’s halal certification as both a legal instrument and an economic policy with direct implications for international trade. Using a normative juridical approach combined with qualitative economic analysis, it explores Law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance (UUJPH) and its application to meat import policies, particularly in the aftermath of WTO disputes DS477/478. Halal certification is framed as a fundamental necessity for Indonesia’s Muslim majority and as a legitimate objective under Article XX(a) of the GATT 1994, which protects public morals. The findings highlight two strategic dimensions of the policy: first, consumer protection and the enforcement of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah through traceable ingredients and production processes; second, its role as an economic tool to enhance product competitiveness, expand international market access, and strengthen Indonesia’s position within the global halal supply chain. However, significant challenges persist. Domestically, limited legal literacy, certification costs, and the constrained capacity of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) hinder certification uptake. Internationally, mandatory halal certification is sometimes perceived as an additional technical barrier to trade, sparking trade disputes. Analysis of GATT 1994 Articles III and XI and TBT Agreement Articles 2.2 and 2.4 underscores the need for Indonesia’s policy to avoid unjustifiable discrimination and unnecessary trade restrictions. The study concludes that harmonizing the protection of public morals with multilateral trade commitments is essential. Policy recommendations include revising the UUJPH to align with international standards, strengthening the Halal Product Assurance Agency’s capacity, providing incentives and support for MSMEs, and expanding mutual recognition agreements with key trading partners. With evidence-based, transparent, and inclusive policies, Indonesia can reinforce its role as a global halal industry hub while safeguarding its trade reputation and balancing religious values with international trade obligations.
