Abstract

The evolution of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) reflects humanity’s enduring quest to bring moral restraint to armed conflict. This paper explores the historical development of IHL, tracing its origins from early customary warfare codes and pivotal moments such as the Geneva Conventions, to contemporary legal frameworks responding to cyber warfare, autonomous weapons, and asymmetrical conflicts. By examining the influence of key actors—states, humanitarian organizations, and legal scholars—the study highlights the transformative milestones that have shaped IHL’s trajectory. Furthermore, it critically assesses present-day challenges, including enforcement mechanisms and the politicization of humanitarian principles. Looking forward, the paper proposes pathways for strengthening IHL amid emerging global threats, advocating for legal adaptability, inclusivity, and a recommitment to core humanitarian values. From ancient battlegrounds to modern policy arenas, the evolution of IHL remains a testament to the resilience of law in protecting humanity’s conscience during war.

Abstract

Sexual violence is a complex form of human rights violation because it involves legal, social, cultural, and psychological aspects. This study aims to analyze law enforcement against perpetrators of sexual violence based on Law No. 12 of 2022 with a case study of Decision No. 47/Pid.Sus/2023/PN.GST. In addition, this study also identifies the factors that cause sexual violence, the motives of the perpetrators, and the impacts experienced by the victims, including the implementation of restitution. The method used is qualitative research with a normative and empirical juridical approach. The theories used include Soerjono Soekanto's theory of law enforcement, Gustav Radbruch's theory of legal certainty, and the theory of victim protection. The results of the study show that although Law No. 12 of 2022 provides a progressive legal basis, its implementation faces challenges in the form of limited understanding by officials, patriarchal culture, minimal access to recovery for victims, and weak restitution mechanisms.

Abstract

Polygamy in Indonesian law is positioned as an exception to the principle of monogamy and is permitted only in a limited manner under strict requirements, including court authorization and the consent of the lawful wife. Nevertheless, unauthorized polygamous practices remain prevalent, giving rise to legal uncertainty regarding marital status and causing both material and immaterial harm to the lawful wife. This study aims to analyze the juridical implications of Law Number 1 of 2023 for unauthorized polygamy, particularly with respect to legal certainty and the protection of the lawful wife’s rights. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches, examining provisions of marriage law, the National Criminal Code, as well as doctrines of criminal law and Islamic law. The findings indicate that Articles 411 and 412 of the National Criminal Code provide legal certainty by affirming that the validity of marital and sexual relations is determined by recognition under state law. Unauthorized polygamy that fails to comply with family law procedures may be classified as the criminal offense of adultery or cohabitation, both of which are complaint-based offenses. This legal construction strengthens the protection of the lawful wife by positioning her as a legal subject with control over the initiation of law enforcement processes. The study concludes that the reform of the National Criminal Code is not intended to criminalize polygamy as an institution, but rather to prevent its misuse in ways that undermine the rights of the lawful wife.
