Abstract

This research aims to examine the criminal provisions for corporations in the Criminal Code 1946 and its improvement in Law No. 1 of 2023 (Criminal Code 2023). Along with the rapid globalisation and economic growth, crimes involving corporations are increasingly prevalent, such as environmental crimes, consumer protection, and money laundering. However, many corporations still escape criminal sanctions. Theories of corporate criminal liability, such as strict liability theory, vicarious liability theory, identification theory, and aggregation theory, are the basis for recognising corporations as legal subjects. This research uses a normative legal approach with statutory, conceptual, and case methods. The results show that the Criminal Code 1946 does not recognise corporations as subjects of criminal law, so that corporate criminal liability is only regulated in regulations outside the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, the Criminal Code 2023 has explicitly stipulated corporation as a subject of criminal law and regulated the mechanism of its liability. This reform provides a stronger legal basis in law enforcement against corporate crime.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the application of Article 27 paragraph (3) of the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law), especially in the context of online news. There are still many law enforcement officials, such as the Police and the Attorney General's Office, who do not understand that not all information cases can be categorised as violations of the article. For example, individuals who upload news from websites registered with the Press Council are still prosecuted for alleged violations of the ITE Law. In the digital era, the law must adapt quickly to accommodate technological innovation, cybercrime and digital privacy. This study uses a normative juridical method with systematic analysis of legal materials, including the Decision of the Tanjung Balai Karimun District Court No. 21/Pid.Sus/2021/TBK. The results show that the concepts of victimology and press law are often ignored in the application of this article. Constitutional Court Decision No. 78/PUU-XXI/2023 states that defamation in the Criminal Code and Article 27 paragraph (3) of the ITE Law is conditionally unconstitutional. Therefore, further socialisation is needed to prevent legal misunderstandings in the implementation of the article.

Abstract

The implementation of Law No. 20 of 2008 on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is essential for supporting sustainable partnerships between large companies and plasma cooperatives in the palm oil sector. This law aims to establish a core-plasma relationship model that is transparent, equitable, and focused on empowering MSMEs. However, challenges such as the dominance of large companies in decision-making, lack of financial transparency, and unmet plasma land obligations continue to hinder the law’s objectives. Supervision by the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) and government support are expected to facilitate a more equitable partnership. This research employs a qualitative analysis method based on case studies, referencing KPPU Decision No. 03/KPPU-K/2021 and interview data regarding partnership practices. Additionally, literature review from journals and scientific sources was used to deepen the analysis. The findings show that KPPU's supervisory role is crucial in ensuring large companies' compliance with Law No. 20 of 2008. Government support through training and capacity-building is also needed to empower MSMEs. These findings demonstrate that consistent enforcement of the law can improve plasma cooperative welfare, support sustainable environmental practices, and enhance the international image of Indonesia’s palm oil industry. Therefore, improvements in the implementation of Law No. 20 of 2008 are necessary to achieve truly mutual benefits in partnerships.

Abstract

This article evaluates the role of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kanwil Kemenkumham) of Central Kalimantan in implementing the harmonization of regional legal products and its relation to fulfilling the Legal Reform Index (Indeks Reformasi Hukum/IRH) assessment criteria. Legal harmonization is a crucial stage in the formation of local regulations to ensure alignment with the national legal system, while IRH functions as an instrument to measure legal reform efforts at the regional level. This study adopts a juridical-empirical approach, using both legal literature and field documentation as data sources. The findings indicate that the Kanwil has actively and effectively facilitated the harmonization process of draft regional regulations, as reflected by the increasing number of harmonized legal products between 2022 and 2024. However, challenges remain in fulfilling IRH data requirements, particularly due to a lack of technical understanding, limited human resources, and weak administrative coordination at the local government level. It is concluded that the effectiveness of IRH as an evaluative tool largely depends on the synergy between the Kanwil and local governments in developing responsive and accountable legal governance.

Abstract

The postponement of Village Head Elections (Pilkades) in Seruyan Regency has caused significant legal, governance, and socio-political issues. This study analyzes the legal basis for the postponement based on Seruyan Regency Regulation No. 1 of 2016 (Perda) and its alignment with national laws, including Law No. 6 of 2014, Government Regulation No. 43 of 2014, Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 72 of 2020, and Law No. 3 of 2024. While Perda Seruyan No. 1 of 2016 adheres to democratic principles, it lacks specific provisions regarding postponements due to national political agendas and the extension of temporary village head terms. This gap has led to constitutional rights violations, weakened legitimacy of Acting Village Heads, stagnated village development, and potential social conflicts. This study recommends revising Perda Seruyan No. 1 of 2016 to incorporate postponement provisions, allocating Pilkades budgets in the Regional Budget (APBD), and enhancing transparency and public participation to ensure legal, transparent, and accountable Pilkades implementation, ultimately maintaining social, political, and governmental stability at the village level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the compensation mechanism for service disruptions in the M-Paspor application and the government's responsibility in addressing the legal vacuum (rechtsvacuum) in digital immigration services. The research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory approach, utilizing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. The study focuses on immigration service regulations and case studies of technical issues in the M-Paspor application. Data collection is conducted through document analysis and legal interpretation to assess the adequacy of existing regulations. The findings indicate that no specific legal norms currently regulate compensation for users affected by service disruptions, creating uncertainty and potential financial losses. The government holds legal and administrative responsibility to address this gap through additional regulations and policy alignment with higher legal frameworks. A more comprehensive regulatory framework is necessary to ensure legal certainty and fair protection for the public while improving the quality and reliability of digital immigration services.

Abstract

Maritime tourism in Indonesia has great potential to drive economic growth, particularly through the rapidly expanding foreign cruise sector. However, challenges in operational efficiency and bureaucratic licensing procedures have become major obstacles to its management. To address these issues, the Indonesian government introduced Minister of Transportation Regulation (PM) No. PM 14 of 2023 as a revision of PM 4 of 2022. This regulation aims to enhance port accessibility, simplify licensing procedures, and integrate modern navigation technology. This study employs a normative legal research method with a statutory and conceptual approach. Data were collected from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources and analyzed qualitatively to assess the implications of the new regulation on the operational efficiency of foreign cruise ships and its economic impact. The findings indicate that regulatory changes improve operational efficiency by digitalizing licensing systems, expanding strategic ports, and implementing the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) system. Additionally, immigration reforms through the Immigration on Shipping (IoS) program have significantly reduced ship waiting times at ports. From an economic perspective, this regulatory revision has positively impacted the hospitality, transportation, and SME sectors around ports. However, challenges related to port infrastructure and inter-agency coordination still require further attention to ensure the sustainable implementation of this regulation.
