Abstract

The policy choice of regulating women's quota by the General Election Commission through PKPU Number 10 of 2023 (PKPU 10/2023) has caused debate among democracy observers, especially those who care about women's representation in parliament. This study aims to analyze the compatibility of PKPU Number 10 of 2023 with the Election Law and analyze the Supreme Court Decision Number 24 P/HUM/2023 regarding the material testing of Article 8 paragraph (2) PKPU 10/2023. The method used in the study is normative research with a statutory approach and a case approach. The results of this study show that there are differences between the quota for women's representation in PKPU 10/2023 and the Election Law. When viewed in terms of its formation, PKPU 10/2023 was made with the choice of authoritarian political configuration and is characterized as a conservative legal product. The results also justify the first discussion through the annulment of the provisions of Article 8 paragraph (2) PKPU 10/2023 through the Supreme Court Decision Number 24 P/HUM/2023. The conclusion of this study shows the incompatibility of women's quota arrangements regulated by the KPU, but this has been corrected through the Supreme Court's decision. The results of this study are also a contribution of thought for policymakers to always harmonize regulations in every legislative process.

Abstract

The ongoing struggle of indigenous people fighting for their rights to preserve the customary forests underscores the critical need to protect both cultural heritage and environment. This research focuses on implementing the Green Constitution in Indonesia, aiming to strengthen the existence of indigenous peoples and their customary rights to customary forests. However, there are significant problems with Article 33(3) of the 1945 Constitution which emphasizes the welfare of the people through the exploitation of natural resources, often neglecting aspects of environmental conservation and contradicting Indonesia's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a result, the Indonesian Constitution has an anthropocentric orientation that prioritizes environmental preservation for human interests rather than fully reflecting the Green Constitution principles that emphasize environmental sustainability in line with human needs. The research used in this study is juridical-normative approach to analyze the law and relevant regulation regarding the issue at hand to identify possible solution towards the existing legal issues. This research identifies two main problems: first, to what extent the 1945 Constitution reflects the principles of the Green Constitution, and second, how efforts to strengthen the rights of indigenous peoples to customary forests reflect the Green Constitution. The results show that the 1945 Constitution has not fully adopted the principles of the Green Constitution, therefore measures are needed to strengthen the rights of indigenous peoples related to customary forests, including the elimination of conditional recognition through judicial interpretation of Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, to secure environmental conservation democratically and sustainably.

Abstract

Sexual health and reproductive rights have become instrumental in defining the constitutional horizons and constitutionalism thereof of a country. In this context, Roe v. Wade emerged as an authority on the issue of abortion, bodily integrity, and sexual health which traveled in various jurisdictions. The paper purports to explore the underlying complexities and challenges in asserting reproductive rights by undertaking a comparative study of the constitutional and legal framework in the U.S.A., India, and Indonesia. The research work carried out is socio-legal, the social realities to elaborate social phenomena about existing legal facts, and the author assessed and analyzed the status of reproductive rights in the U.S.A, India, and Indonesia through a comprehensive analysis of case laws decided by constitutional courts of these countries. The global debate on women's reproductive rights, championed by feminists, emphasizes the urgent need to eradicate gender stereotypes for true equality. Despite progress, many countries still face challenges due to religious, cultural, and socio-economic biases. Access to contraceptives, abortion rights, and information remains limited. Promoting equal parenting and raising awareness are crucial. Legal mechanisms, like Roe v. Wade, have advanced reproductive rights, but regressive rulings like Dobbs pose threats. The demands of diverse communities, including same-sex couples, require revisiting legal frameworks. Constitutionalizing these rights and allocating funds for awareness and healthcare are vital steps. Governments must address child marriage and provide inclusive sex education, prioritizing reproductive health as a fundamental human right.

Abstract

The President's issuance of Regulations in Lieu of Law No 1 of 2022 regarding the Job Creation represents a deliberate endeavor to operationalize and further refine the previously ratified Job Creation Law. The objective of this research is to provide a lucid comprehension of the formulation of the Regulations in Lieu of Law that adheres to the Constitutional Court's directives. This paper employs normative legal research methodologies, incorporating conceptual, historical, statutory, and jurisprudential analyses to scrutinize extant legal quandaries concerning the urgency and constitutionality of Regulations in Lieu of Law No 1 of 2022 regarding the Job Creation. Furthermore, the research yields the proposition that the promulgation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 1 of 2022 on Job Creation, vis-à-vis Constitutional Court Decision No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020, may be regarded as a departure from the constitutional imperatives articulated in Constitutional Court Decision No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020. Furthermore, concerning the reformulation of provisions governing the issuance of a Regulation in Lieu of Law by the President within the national legislative framework, a predicated state of emergency is a requisite antecedent. The President is obligated to communicate this state of emergency to the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly and the public before promulgating the Regulation in Lieu of Law.

Abstract

Law No. 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and PKPU was established to address the debtor's obligations amidst financial incapacity. However, Law No. 37 of 2004 is invoked as the underlying basis by corporations seeking to absolve themselves from debt obligations. The objective is to understand corporate rescue, the principles of commercial exit from financial distress, and their connection to the fulfilment of creditor rights in the PKPU or Bankruptcy processes under Law No. 37 of 2004. The research methodology is empirical juridical, with the primary data as the main source, supplemented by secondary data through observations and interviews, with qualitative analysis and inductive conclusions. The research findings indicate that the simplified evidentiary outlined in Law No. 37 of 2004 is inappropriately invoked as the legal basis for Debtors is financially solvable and viable. Consequently, this leads to creditors losing. Moreover, Law No. 37 of 2004 is considered irrelevant; the emphasis should shift towards the concept of corporate rescue as a principle for business continuity. This approach aligns with practices in developed countries within the EU, as outlined in Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, to be used as a parameter to revise Law No. 37 of 2004.

Abstract

Every five years, the Indonesian state conducts General Elections, including the Presidential Election or General Election for the President and Vice President. The occurrence of General Elections is closely linked to the phenomenon of Abstention. In the 2019 Presidential Election in Sidoarjo Regency, the Abstention rate was recorded at 18.12%. One contributing factor to Abstention is individuals adhering to a pragmatic typology; they prioritize personal gains from candidate pairs rather than considering their vision and mission. Regional general elections play a crucial role in reducing Abstention rates by actively engaging all levels of society and emphasizing the significance of participating in General Elections. Empirical juridical research reveals that the prevalent cause of abstaining is a pragmatic mindset, where voters lack awareness of their choices. The absence of sanctions in Law Number 7 of 2017 Concerning General Elections makes abstaining an easily committed act. The Sidoarjo Regency KPU's efforts to diminish Abstention figures are guided by KPU Regulation Number 10 of 2018, focusing on socialization, voter education, and encouraging societal participation in General Elections. The study emphasizes the need for public awareness regarding the importance of elections, discouraging Abstentions, and advocating for accessible TPS locations through KPU initiatives, ensuring convenience for voters when casting their ballots.

Abstract

The development of smart contract in a decentralized blockchain system raises various problems in the legal field marked by cases of smart contract violations such as the DAO, Parity Wallet, and PlayDapp cases. The breach of smart contract in the blockchain system affects the application and enforcement of conventional law in a virtual world that has no geographical jurisdiction. The limitations of conventional law in regulating the virtual world gave birth to various new legal concepts such as lex cryptographia and virtual state. This research aims to examine the expansion of law in blockchain systems and smart contract, especially in cases of breach of smart contract and the birth of new governance. This research uses doctrinal research methods with a case study approach and literature research. Based on the results of this research, the existence of smart contracts affects the legal expansion of their legitimacy and application as contracts that have legal force. Smart contract that have no ties to territorial jurisdiction give the parties to the smart contract complete freedom to regulate the settlement of contract violations, so that smart contracts become law, legal procedures, and punishment itself in carrying out its functions. In addition, the existence of smart contracts in the blockchain system also gave birth to lex cryptographia as a new law and a blockchain-based virtual state as a new governance model that is not limited by geographical areas.

Abstract

The principle of popular sovereignty is fundamental in establishing a democratic legal state, primarily reflected in general elections that determine representatives in the People's Representative Council (DPR). However, this principle often loses its significance post-election, as citizens have little control over their elected representatives. This is evident in the DPR's Inter-Time Change (PAW) mechanism, which excludes public participation. This study emphasizes two main points: the urgent need to amend Article 22B of the 1945 Constitution and to develop a new DPR reconstruction model as part of legal reform. Employing normative legal research through statutory, comparative, and case approaches, the study analyzes secondary legal materials. The findings reveal that the nomenclature of Article 22B requires revision to facilitate greater public involvement in the DPR dissolution process. Currently, dissolution relies on political party leaders, leading members to prioritize party interests over public aspirations, which can create conflicts. The article's language should be amended to allow for public dismissal of DPR members through a clearly defined legal mechanism. Additionally, the study suggests that the PAW process in Indonesia could draw inspiration from the Philippines and Venezuela, incorporating public input through a withdrawal proposal and voting mechanism for council members, thus reinforcing popular sovereignty in the legislative process.

Abstract

Climate change necessitates innovative solutions like Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to reduce CO2 emissions. CCS involves capturing and storing CO2 in underground geological formations. Implementing CCS in Indonesia requires a comprehensive regulatory framework addressing technical standards, permits, monitoring, and financing, while also considering environmental and social risks. This research analyzes the dilemma of "legal transplantation" in Indonesian CCS regulations, balancing harmonization with international standards and adaptation to local contexts. Legal transplantation involves adopting legal rules from one jurisdiction to another. In this context, it might involve incorporating international best practices into Indonesian law. This raises questions about reconciling foreign legal elements with existing Indonesian legal frameworks and the country's unique context. This research employs normative legal methods with a qualitative approach. Data was gathered through literature reviews, comparative analysis, case studies, and comprehensive interviews. This study examines the impact of legal transplantation on developing CCS regulations in Indonesia, analyzing the challenges and opportunities in adapting regulations from other countries. It explores achieving a balance between global harmonization and local adaptation. Utilizing normative legal research methods with a qualitative approach, this research aims to contribute to developing effective and sustainable CCS regulations in Indonesia. With a suitable regulatory framework, CCS can be a crucial tool in mitigating climate change.

Abstract

At present, legal products do not reflect public justice; rather, they serve the interests and triumph of political groups or elites that are technical, insubstantial, and short-term. This, of course, significantly interferes with the operation of the government system, which in turn disrupts the stability of society, particularly in terms of legal certainty. The objective of this research is to evaluate and develop a political participation scheme that can effectively engage the community at the grassroots level in the legislative function of the People's Representative Council. In terms of methodology, this research is normative legal research, which is evaluative in nature. Qualitative analysis techniques are employed to analyze secondary data. This reasearch indicate that the laws enacted by the People's Representative Council thus far have not been aspirational. This implies that they have not been able to take into account and implement the aspirations of all societal segments, resulting in their implementation being at odds with the community's desire. Consequently, we suggest the implementation of a web-based system for information, aspirations, and voting, which we refer to as WASIT. The utilization of website media is due to the fact that the internet is a daily necessity for the Indonesian populace. The KOMINFO and DUKCAPIL community have appointed an NGO that is specifically dedicated to legislative supervision to establish this system. NGOs are assigned the responsibility of developing a website with the assistance of KOMINFO. The Directorate General of DUKCAPIL will collect community data by logging in with the Citizen Identity Number.
