Abstract

Perlindungan hukum terhadap anak merupakan isu penting dalam sistem hukum Indonesia. Anak sebagai kelompok rentan memerlukan perhatian khusus dari negara untuk menjamin hak-haknya terlindungi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana pelaksanaan perlindungan hukum terhadap anak ditinjau dari Undang Undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2014 tentang Perubahan Atas Undang Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak khususnya dalam perkara pidana yang melibatkan anak. Studi kasus yang diangkat adalah putusan Pengadilan Tinggi nomor 255/PID/2023/PT.BDG, dimana terdapat pertimbangan hukum penting terkait perlindungan anak dalam proses peradilan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif dengan analisis terhadap putusan pengadilan, peraturan perundang-undangan, dan literatur terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskip peraturan mengenai perlindungan anak sudah cukup komprehensif, namun penerapannya di lapangan masih menghadapi beberapa kendala terutama dari sisi penegakan hukum dan kesadaran masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya peningkatan implementasi peraturan dan sinergi antar lembaga terkait untuk memastikan hak-hak anak terlindungi secara efektif.

Abstract

This study explores the termination of the Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) discourse in President Joko Widodo’s foreign policy. Initially central to his 2014 presidential campaign and early administration, the GMF concept—with its five foundational pillars—was envisioned to transform Indonesia into a maritime-oriented nation, revive its maritime identity, and enhance its role in Indo-Pacific geopolitics. However, as Jokowi’s first term ended, the GMF gradually lost prominence. It was no longer promoted during the 2019 campaign nor prioritized in his second-term foreign policy agenda. Using the frameworks of national role conception, role contestation, and role legitimacy, this paper argues that despite Indonesia's alignment with regional geopolitical dynamics and minimal vertical or systemic contestation, the GMF discourse declined due to Jokowi’s failure to secure horizontal legitimacy among domestic political elites. These internal political constraints ultimately hindered the implementation and legitimacy of the GMF, rendering it irrelevant to Indonesia’s foreign policy during Jokowi’s second term.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on Indonesia's capital market, including securities companies that act as intermediaries in securities transactions. Economic instability and high market volatility created legal challenges in regulatory compliance, policy adaptation, and investor protection. This study aims to analyze the implementation of capital market law on the practices of securities companies post-COVID-19, with a case study on PT. OSO Sekuritas Indonesia. The research employs a normative juridical approach supported by empirical data, including interviews with industry stakeholders and an analysis of policies issued by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). The findings reveal that the pandemic accelerated digital transformation in the capital market sector, increased regulatory complexity, and strengthened OJK’s role in enforcing legal compliance among securities companies. However, major challenges include regulatory uncertainty, default risks, and stricter supervision. The long-term legal implications of the pandemic highlight the need for capital market policy revisions to be more adaptive to crises, enhanced investor protection, and stronger regulations on digital technology use in securities activities. This study is expected to contribute to the development of Indonesia’s capital market law, particularly in formulating policies that are more responsive to market dynamics and the needs of securities companies and investors.

Abstract

Trafficking in persons is a crime that violates human rights because it involves threats, coercion, abduction, fraud, abuse of power, and aims at prostitution, pornography, violence, exploitation, forced labor, or slavery. The Criminal Code imposes relatively light sanctions that are disproportionate to the impact on victims, so a special law is required to provide both material and formal legal basis. This study applies a normative juridical research method by examining relevant legislation and court decisions. The findings show that trafficking in persons is regulated in Article 297 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 65 of Law No. 39 of 1999 and Articles 2, 4, 11, and 48 paragraph (1) of Law No. 21 of 2007. Criminal liability of perpetrators of women trafficking is enforced through a three-year prison sentence as stipulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) of Law No. 21 of 2007, accompanied by a fine, as the defendant was proven legally and convincingly guilty. This research emphasizes the need for new specific laws, government regulations, and ministerial decrees to clarify legal arrangements, provide greater protection for victims, and ensure heavier sanctions for perpetrators.

Abstract

The high number of traffic violations is one of the causes of the high number of traffic accidents that occur, one of which is that drivers do not have a driving license. The police must take firm action against traffic violations and implement road traffic enforcement to minimize parties who commit traffic violations and to improve driving discipline in the community. Traffic police have an important role in traffic enforcement, by carrying out traffic tours, registration services and identification of motor vehicles or drivers, and traffic accident investigations. For that, it will be further studied how the legal responsibilities and sanctions for drivers without a driving license are based on Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation and the role of the police in ensuring public compliance with the obligation to have a driving license for drivers.

Abstract

Narcotics crimes have long been the enemy of the nation and are now increasingly alarming for Indonesia and the world. The production and distribution of narcotics have become massive, not only in big cities but also in rural areas. Perpetrators of abuse are no longer limited to adults but have spread to all levels of society, including students, entrepreneurs, officials, and children. The problem of drug abuse has drawn continuous public attention and discussion, as it threatens the nation’s future. Almost all elements of society emphasize the importance of vigilance, especially in monitoring children’s social interactions to prevent exposure to narcotics. Despite global commitments to combat narcotics crimes, illicit trafficking continues to escalate, indicating that these offenses constitute extraordinary crimes. This study examines the regulation of narcotics crimes under Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and the role of community involvement in eradication efforts. Using a normative juridical research method, the study finds that such crimes are regulated in Articles 111–116 in conjunction with Articles 127 and 132 of Law 35/2009. Community participation includes searching for, obtaining, and providing information on suspected narcotics crimes to law enforcement or the police. The study recommends drafting a special law to strengthen community involvement in combating narcotics crimes, incorporated into the Criminal Code, legislation, government regulations, and ministerial regulations. The government is urged to create a clear and comprehensive legal framework to ensure effective and coordinated efforts in eradicating narcotics crimes.

Abstract

Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 stipulates that replacement money must equal the assets obtained from corruption. However, differences between the law’s explanatory section and the article’s formulation create ambiguity about its intended purpose, leading to dual interpretations in calculating replacement money. This study, using a normative juridical method, finds that imposing replacement money is a legal mechanism to recover stolen state assets. Success is not merely assessed by the amount ordered by the court or the quantity of assets confiscated, seized, or auctioned by prosecutors, but by how much is actually deposited into the state treasury. In Decision No. 1441/Pid.Sus/2019/PN Mks, involving medical malpractice causing serious injury, the court ruled that a subsidiary prison term could not apply because the defendant, Heru Hidayat, was sentenced to life imprisonment—one of two prison types under Article 12(1) of the Criminal Code. Consequently, prosecutors must locate, seize, and auction his assets to fulfill the replacement payment within his lifetime.
