Abstract

Indonesia’s agricultural sector remains dominated by traditional rice farming that contributes modestly to GDP, while farmers face rising risks of crop failure due to climate change and other external factors. This condition reveals a gap between the legal objective of farmer protection and empowerment and the practical effectiveness of crop insurance through the Rice Farming Insurance Program (Asuransi Usaha Tani Padi/AUTP). This article examines whether AUTP constitutes a legally valid general insurance contract under Indonesian civil and commercial law and assesses its effectiveness as a protection mechanism for rice farmers. Using a normative juridical method based on secondary data, the study applies statutory, conceptual, and case approaches to analyze AUTP regulations in relation to empirical findings from prior research. The results indicate that AUTP fulfills the essential elements of loss insurance and qualifies as an innominate contract under Article 1319 of the Civil Code in conjunction with Articles 246 and 247 of the Commercial Code. However, its practical effectiveness remains limited due to internal constraints, including low insurance literacy, premium affordability, and participation rates, as well as external constraints related to institutional capacity, claim mechanisms, and climate-related production risks. These findings suggest that further strengthening of AUTP’s implementation design is necessary to achieve effective farmer protection.

Abstract

This study examines the conflict resolution practices of Baduy, Kajang, and Suku Anak Dalam (SAD) Jambi communities, all of whom continue to apply customary law to address violations within their territories. Using a combination of normative and empirical methods with snowball data collection, the research identifies the traditional mechanisms through which these communities maintain social order. Baduy resolve disputes through Silih Hampura, carried out via the Ngabokoran process and guided by Pikukuh, an unwritten code defining customary violations and their resolutions. Kajang apply Pasang Ri Kajang, an oral system that uses oaths, crowbar-burning, or incense-burning rituals in conflict settlement. The SAD Jambi follow a customary framework consisting of four primary and four secondary principles and dua belas categories of violations. Conflict resolution in Kajang and SAD communities typically involves customary fines, while the Baduy impose banishment rather than imprisonment. Across the three groups, the central aim of customary dispute resolution is the restoration of cosmic religious balance, benefiting not only the parties involved but the community and the wider natural order.

Abstract

This study examines the legal recognition of electronic notarial acts in Indonesia and the regulatory inconsistencies among the Notary Law, the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, and the Indonesian Civil Code. These inconsistencies prevent notaries from issuing authentic electronic deeds, weaken the evidentiary value of digital documents, and create legal uncertainty in electronic transactions. Using a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study analyzes Indonesia’s framework and compares it with Rwanda’s system, which expressly recognizes electronic notarial acts under Law No. 031/2016 through an integrated digital identity platform. The findings show that the physical presence requirement in the Notary Law and the exclusion of notarial deeds from electronic documents under the ITE Law are the main obstacles to electronic authentic deeds in Indonesia. The novelty of this research lies in its use of Rwanda’s regulatory model as a normative and comparative foundation for reconstructing Indonesia’s Cyber Notary framework. This study proposes revising the Notary Law and establishing a unified national digital notarial platform to strengthen the authenticity, integrity, and legal certainty of electronic deeds within Indonesia’s evolving digital legal landscape.

Abstract

Contract interpretation remains a contested issue in contract law, particularly under the Indonesian Civil Code, which reflects a civil law tradition that prioritizes textual interpretation. Modern commercial practice, however, demands a more contextual approach. This article examines how Indonesia can modernize its interpretive framework through a normative comparative analysis of the Indonesian Civil Code and the contract law of New Zealand, with reference to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. The study finds that contemporary contract law has shifted toward an objective contextual approach that preserves the primacy of contractual language while incorporating commercial context, reasonableness, and good faith. Incorporating this approach into the Indonesian Civil Code would enhance interpretive consistency, strengthen judicial reasoning, and provide a principled foundation for contract law reform in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid growth of cryptocurrency trading in Indonesia presents both opportunities and systemic risks to the national financial system. Cryptocurrency exchanges, as digital asset intermediaries, remain vulnerable to fraud , cyberattacks, market manipulation, and regulatory uncertainty. This study examines the legal framework for exchange protection, highlighting the absence of integrated regulation combining financial security, consumer protection, and technological governance, despite the transfer of authority from Badan Pengawas Perdagangan Berjangka Komoditi or Bappepti to Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) or Financial Services Authority. Using a normative juridical approach and comparative analysis of Japan and Singapore, the findings show the need for an adaptive and integrated regulatory model that strengthens transparency, accountability, and consumer trust while supporting financial innovation. Establishing such a framework is essential to mitigate systemic risk, reinforce public trust and ensure sustainable financial development aligned with global governance standards and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract

Trademark protection is a fundamental element of intellectual property law that supports innovation, economic growth, and legal certainty while increasingly contributing to sustainable development through fair business practices, local market strengthening, and sustainable employment. This study examines trademark protection regimes in Indonesia, Oman, and the Philippines using a normative and comparative legal approach to assess their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in relation to economic growth, innovation, and institutional strength. The findings show that although all three countries formally recognize the importance of trademark protection, they differ significantly in regulatory design and enforcement, with Indonesia facing persistent enforcement challenges, Oman demonstrating strong legal structure but limited practical effectiveness, and the Philippines adopting a more adaptive and institutionally robust approach. The study concludes that trademark protection can function as an effective tool for sustainable development if supported by stronger institutional capacity, greater alignment with international standards, and enhanced regional cooperation.

Abstract

This article examines normative distortions arising from the expanded meaning of public interest in land acquisition policies in Indonesia and their impact on compensation proportionality. Data from the Agrarian Reform Consortium show that infrastructure-related agrarian conflicts rose from 212 cases in 2022 to 241 in 2023, indicating that compensation mechanisms fail to meet substantive justice. Using a normative juridical approach with conceptual and constitutional analysis, this article argues that the expansion of public interest under Law No. 2 of 2012, including investment and National Strategic Projects, has weakened proportionality. Compensation has shifted from full restitution of community losses to limited replacement of physical land and assets. This shift fails to satisfy key proportionality requirements: suitability of purpose, necessity of means, and balance between public benefit and individual burden, as mandated by Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. The article concludes that without redefining the constitutional limits of public interest, land acquisition will continue to favor economic interests at the expense of citizens’ rights, particularly those of indigenous communities.

Abstract

Indonesia's copyright royalty management system has evolved through the establishment of Collective Management Organizations (LMKs) and the National Collective Management Organization (LMKN), which are responsible for collecting, administering, and distributing royalties to creators. Despite this institutional framework, significant deficiencies continue to undermine the protection of creators' economic rights. This study examines the adequacy of legal protection afforded by the current royalty distribution system and analyzes LMKN's legal responsibility for unclaimed royalties. Using normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study applies prescriptive legal analysis. The findings indicate that, although the Copyright Law and its implementing regulations govern royalty management, they do not provide sufficient legal certainty regarding timely, transparent, and proportionate royalty distribution based on actual use of copyrighted works. In addition, the absence of clear rules governing LMKN's responsibility for unclaimed royalties weakens legal protection for creators' economic rights. This study proposes reconstructing Indonesia's royalty governance framework by redefining LMKN as a fiduciary administrator responsible for the accurate, transparent, accountable, and timely distribution of royalties. It also recommends mandatory implementation of Music Recognition Technology (MRT) or digital fingerprinting at commercial venues to improve data accuracy and transparency. These reforms would strengthen legal certainty, promote fairness, and enhance the protection of creators' economic rights in Indonesia.

Abstract

Metaverse has transformed virtual assets into economically valuable objects that challenge conventional concepts of property under Indonesian private law. Although virtual assets such as cryptoassets, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and metaverse property are widely traded, their legal status remains uncertain, creating ambiguity regarding ownership, transfer, and legal protection. This study examines the normative basis for recognizing virtual assets as objects of property rights within Indonesia's civil law system. Using a normative juridical method with a comparative approach, the study analyzes Indonesian private law alongside developments in England and Wales, Singapore, Japan, and the European Union. The findings demonstrate that virtual assets satisfy the defining characteristics of intangible property, including identifiability, exclusive control, transferability, and economic value, making them capable of recognition as objects of proprietary rights. The study further argues that blockchain-based transfers and smart contracts can operate as legally valid mechanisms for transferring ownership when supported by appropriate legal recognition. To strengthen legal certainty, Indonesia should recognize virtual assets as a distinct category of intangible property, adapt property law to digital transactions, strengthen proprietary remedies, and modernize dispute resolution and cross-border enforcement. These reforms would provide a coherent legal framework for protecting virtual assets and support the development of Indonesia's digital economy.
