Abstract

Pernikahan siri yang dilakukan oleh prajurit Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI), khususnya dalam konteks poligami tanpa izin dan tanpa pencatatan negara, merupakan perbuatan yang tidak hanya melanggar hukum perkawinan nasional, tetapi juga berdampak serius terhadap disiplin dan kehormatan institusi militer. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara yuridis penerapan pidana tambahan pemecatan dari dinas militer terhadap prajurit TNI yang melakukan poligami melalui pernikahan siri, serta menilai efektivitas sanksi tersebut sebagai instrumen penegakan disiplin keprajuritan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, dengan menganalisis ketentuan dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana Militer (KUHPM), Undang-Undang tentang Tentara Nasional Indonesia, Undang-Undang tentang Hukum Disiplin Militer, serta peraturan terkait perkawinan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara normatif pidana tambahan pemecatan memiliki dasar hukum yang kuat dan rasional untuk diterapkan terhadap prajurit pelaku pernikahan siri. Namun demikian, dalam praktik peradilan militer masih ditemukan ketidakkonsistenan putusan hakim dalam menjatuhkan sanksi pemecatan pada perkara yang serupa. Kondisi tersebut menimbulkan persoalan kepastian hukum dan melemahkan efektivitas pemecatan sebagai sarana pembinaan dan pencegahan pelanggaran. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan harmonisasi dan standardisasi pertimbangan hukum dalam putusan pengadilan militer guna menjamin kepastian hukum, keadilan, serta efektivitas penegakan disiplin prajurit TNI.

Abstract

The determination of state financial loss constitutes a fundamental element in proving corruption offenses. Legal complexities arise when the managed funds do not originate directly from the State Budget, such as the Mandatory Housing Savings Fund (Tabungan Wajib Perumahan/TWP) of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (Army). Although the TWP fund is collected through mandatory salary deductions from military personnel for welfare purposes, its management is conducted within the structure of a state institution, giving rise to legal debates regarding its status. This article aims to provide a juridical analysis of the qualification of the TWP Army fund as state finances and its implications for proving corruption offenses, based on the Supreme Court Decision of the Republic of Indonesia Number 407K/MIL/2023 dated 7 December 2023. This study employs a normative legal research method using statutory and case approaches. The findings indicate that the TWP Army fund can be normatively classified as part of state finances due to its control, management, and accountability by a state institution. The Supreme Court, through the decision, affirmed that the misuse of the TWP fund resulted in state financial loss, thereby fulfilling an essential element of corruption offenses. This decision provides legal certainty in interpreting the concept of state finances and strengthens accountability as well as the enforcement of anti-corruption law within the military environment.

Abstract

The criminal act of document forgery is an unlawful act because it can cause harm to others and undermine public trust in the validity of documents. Forgery occurs when someone intentionally creates, modifies, or imitates a document to make it appear as if it is authentic and issued by an authorized party, when in fact it is not. The formulation in this research is how criminal law regulates the crime of document forgery in Indonesia and how the law is applied by judges in sentencing perpetrators of document forgery, as seen in the Subang District Court Decision Number 60/Pid.B/2024/PN Sng. This research is normative legal research, a method that focuses on analyzing legal regulations, legal principles, and prevailing legal doctrines. The researcher uses legal sources such as statutes, regulations, court decisions, and legal literature to understand and interpret existing law. The findings show that in criminal law, every form of involvement in a criminal act entails its own legal responsibility. In the case of document forgery committed by the defendant DP bin alm R, the witness Dedi Priyanto who gave the order should also have been held criminally liable as the person who instructed the crime, in accordance with Article 55 paragraph (1) point 1 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP). This reflects the principle that not only the direct perpetrator, but all parties who play an active role in the crime must be held legally accountable. In Decision Number 60/Pid.B/2024/PN Sng, the Panel of Judges concluded that the elements of Article 263 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code concerning document forgery were proven against Defendant DP bin alm R. The defendant made an invoice containing false information to mislead the company into believing that a debt had been paid off. For his actions, he was sentenced to five months’ imprisonment and remained in detention, with court costs amounting to Rp. 5,000. The decision took into account the principles of legality, legal certainty, and proportionality, as well as considering the defendant’s polite demeanor as a mitigating factor.

Abstract

The development of information technology offers significant benefits but also creates serious risks, particularly concerning security and personal data protection. Cybercrime has therefore become a crucial legal issue, as it may involve not only individuals but also corporations as subjects of criminal law. This study examines: (1) the application of corporate criminal liability in cybercrime under positive law, and (2) whether judicial considerations in Decision Number 142/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Pgp reflect justice and legal protection for personal data subjects. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory and case approaches. The findings show that corporations are recognized as criminal law subjects that can be held liable for cybercrimes, including personal data misuse, through sanctions such as fines and other punitive measures. Criminal liability may be imposed based on direct liability, strict liability, or vicarious liability. In the examined case, the court applied the Personal Data Protection Law as lex specialis and imposed imprisonment and fines after considering aggravating and mitigating factors. This decision affirms that both individuals and corporations are subject to criminal liability and highlights the importance of law enforcement in protecting personal data and combating cybercrime.

Abstract

In the maritime sector, the Sailing Approval Letter (Surat Persetujuan Berlayar / SPB) serves as a fundamental legal instrument to ensure vessel seaworthiness, safety, and orderly shipping activities. The SPB is not merely an administrative requirement but a mandatory prerequisite before a vessel may commence a voyage. This study analyzes the legal liability of a ship captain who sailed without an SPB and caused damage to a bridge, as examined in Supreme Court Decision Number 5319 K/Pid.Sus/2025, and evaluates whether the judges’ legal considerations align with principles of justice and applicable legal norms. The findings indicate that sailing without an SPB may result in administrative, criminal, and civil liability, particularly when the act causes damage to public infrastructure. The Supreme Court held that sailing without an SPB constitutes a serious criminal offense due to the substantial risks posed to maritime safety and public facilities. The decision affirms the principle of individual criminal responsibility of the ship captain and reinforces the supervisory authority of the harbormaster. Moreover, it provides a deterrent effect and underscores the importance of strict compliance with maritime regulations to ensure safety, legal certainty, and the protection of public interests in national shipping.

Abstract

Industrial relations are fundamentally intended to create a balance of rights and obligations between employers and workers; however, in practice, disputes frequently arise, particularly concerning the fulfillment of workers’ normative rights. This study aims to analyze the types of workers’ rights disputed and the legal considerations applied by the judges in the Decision of the Industrial Relations Court at the Central Jakarta District Court Number 17/Pdt.Sus-PHI/2025/PN.Jkt.Pst. This research employs a normative (doctrinal) legal method conducted through library research by examining statutory regulations and court decisions. The findings indicate that the dispute arose due to the employer’s failure to fulfill legal obligations, including unilateral wage deductions, failure to register workers in social security programs, and non-payment of workers’ entitlements after the termination of employment. The Panel of Judges rejected the Defendant’s exception and partially granted the Plaintiff’s claims by ordering the payment of outstanding workers’ rights amounting to IDR 94,362,969.00 to be paid in installments over four months, while other claims were dismissed. This decision underscores the importance of protecting workers’ normative rights and reaffirming employers’ legal responsibilities within industrial relations.

Abstract

The current condition of law enforcement has not fully achieved fair legal certainty, indicating the need to strengthen the restorative justice approach in the development of national criminal law. This study examines the relevance of restorative justice within the framework of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the National Criminal Code, which adopts a dualistic doctrine separating criminal acts (actus reus) from fault (mens rea). The research focuses on the significance of restorative justice in the national criminal justice system and the ideal model of its application in line with the dualistic principle. Using normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study finds that litigation-based case settlement often fails to deliver substantive justice. Therefore, restorative justice emerges as a necessary alternative. When applied consistently with the dualistic doctrine, restorative justice allows reconciliation to function as a basis for eliminating fault and criminal liability, thereby supporting the realization of fair legal certainty as a constitutional legal ideal..

Abstract

Victims of crime are parties who directly suffer harm as a result of criminal acts, including physical, psychological, economic, and social losses. However, in practice, the criminal justice system tends to marginalize victims because law enforcement remains predominantly offender-oriented. As a result, victims are often positioned merely as witnesses and do not receive adequate fulfillment of their rights. This study aims to examine the concept of victim protection from a victimological perspective and to analyze the legal position and role of crime victims within the criminal justice system. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings indicate that victimology recognizes victims as legal subjects entitled to protection, recognition, and recovery for the harm they have suffered. Victim protection extends beyond legal safeguards to include physical and psychological protection, prevention of secondary victimization, and recovery through restitution and compensation mechanisms. Nevertheless, the role of victims within the criminal justice process remains relatively weak. Therefore, strengthening regulatory frameworks and shifting law enforcement paradigms toward a more victim-oriented approach are necessary to achieve a fair and humane criminal justice system.

Abstract

This study examines the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran through China’s mediation in March 2023, employing constructivism and role theory as analytical frameworks. Using Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis on official documents, diplomatic statements, and media reports, the study reveals a shift in Saudi Arabia’s identity from a confrontational actor to a regional balancer. The choice of China as mediator reflects Riyadh’s strategy of diversifying partnerships and repositioning itself within a multipolar order. The normalization thus signifies not merely pragmatic policy, but a broader transformation of Saudi Arabia’s identity and role in Middle Eastern diplomacy.

Abstract

During the Dutch colonial era, Eigendom Verponding was a land ownership right granted to native Indonesian citizens. The enactment of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) in 1960, ratified by President Soekarno on September 24, 1960, mandated the conversion of such rights into Ownership Rights (HM) for Indonesian citizens or Building Use Rights (HGB) for foreigners, with a 20-year deadline from September 24, 1960, to September 24, 1980, as stipulated in UUPA Article 1 paragraph 3. Despite this, many eigendom verponding certificates remain unconverted, particularly among the Betawi community in Jakarta. Empirical research reveals instances where unconverted land, now occupied by company-owned buildings without compensation, raises questions about legal protection for original owners. Complementing this, normative juridical research examines whether these rights holders can still claim ownership over land physically controlled by others. The study links these issues to the Principle of Justice, ensuring rights are granted to rightful recipients and providing legal protection for land rights holders. This analysis underscores the need for equitable resolution in Indonesia's agrarian framework.
