Abstract

The economic crisis in 1997 has confirmed the Indonesian society that white collar criminality also exist in their country. The failure to bring the corporate criminals to court was caused by the difficult of the Indonesian justice system to accept that corporations can also be held accountable under the Indonesian criminal law. On the other hand, legislature has accepted that corporations (as juristic persons) can be held liable, beside the managers (as natural persons). Since 1995, law no. 7 on economic crimes also include juristic persons as subjects of the law. This has been followed by the legislature in 1963 (law on subversion), 1976 (law on drug abuse) and 1997 (law on the environment). In 1993 a draft of the newPenal Code for Indonesia was submitted to the Minister of Justice. No step have been taken yet to implement the code, which in article 44 explicitly states that corporations can be held responsible for criminal acts. With respect to a law enforcement strategy against corporate crimes, the author wishes to distinguish between organized crimes and crimes by organizations. Both can be done by or through corporation.

Abstract

Human rights are one of the EU’s tools to integrate its member states as well as its citizens. The integration of human rights into EU law and policy build the concept of “the new EU” which is to establish “economic space” together with the space of liberty, justice and security which is implemented in the third pillar of the Maastricht Treaty .EU experience shows that the integration of human rights into their law and policy not only enhance the protection of human rights and democratic legitimacy but also economic, social welfare and peaceful life. Integration of human rights demonstrates the possibility of a plural nation which have a background of century-old conflicts to become one strong institution. The EU and ASEAN follow a similar path of regional integration. The success of the EU integration includes human rights integration and has made the EU a model for ASEAN integration. Despite, their differences, the ASEAN can learn the positive contribution of integrating human rights in the EU as the ASEAN is moving from economic cooperation to other related areas including human rights through ASEAN Community in 2015.

Abstract

The principle of Non-Refoulement is a concept that is very well known in the framework of international protection applicable to refugees and or asylum seekers. Non Refoulement is a concept in which State shall not expel or return (“refouler”) a refugee or asylum seeker in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion. The principle of Non Refoulement is generally relevant to the protection of human rights, especially in relation with the freedom of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In the context of international refugee law, the principle of Non Refoulement is a fundamental concept and considered as the back-bone of the whole frameworks of international protection for refugee and asylum seeker. This article discussed three aspects relevant to the principle of Non Refoulement, namely : the existence of such a principle in the existing international legalsystem, the character of the principle of Non Refoulement as Jus Cogens, and the condition of which the benefit of such a principle may not be applied. It is obvious that the principle of Non- Refoulement has been accepted by international community as explicitly established in international legal instruments and consistently implemented in the practice of State and the relevant international organisations. Such a principle is accepted by international community and gained ground as Jus Cogens in the international legal system, consequently States individually or collectively shall not derogate in a manner whatsoever, otherwise it is modified by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character.However, should there are reasonable grounds, the benefit of the present principle may not be granted to a refugee.

Abstract

This article explores the possibility of prosecuting terrorism as crimes against humanity under the ICC treaty. Even-though terrorism is not explicitly mentioned as a crime that falls under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, it can however be adjudicated at the ICC by interpreting it as included in Article 7 of the Rome Statute. Article 7 of the ICC Statute can be used as a legal basis for prosecuting terrorist acts if the acts fulfill the Article’s general requirements. The text of the Rome Statute does not need to be amended in order to encompass acts of terrorism.

Abstract

Ever since its Independence, Indonesia has acceded to numerous international treaties. Indonesia’s accessions to international treaties are done by signature, and there are treaties which undergo a ratification process legalised by a Law (Undang-undang) or a Presidential Regulation (Peraturan Presiden). This article will review the various aspects related to the need of ensuring the conformity of international treaties with Indonesia’s 1945 Consitution. Firstly, this paper will discuss why the conformity of international treaties acceded by Indonesia with Indonesia’s 1945 Constitution needs to be ensured. Discussed next is Indonesia’s practice in acceding to international treaties. Then, the paper will consider the possibility of instruments of ratifications both in the form of Law and Presidential Regulation being judicially reviewed by the Constitutional Court or the Supreme Court and its implications. Lastly, this paper will elaborate the steps Indonesia must take in the future. In practice, there are no actual process to ensure the conformity between an international treaty and the Constitution. The government should review every international treaty that would be acceded by Indonesia so that its conformity with the Constitution is ensured.
