Abstract

This study aims to understand the role of the Honorary Council (BK) of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of Serang City in maintaining the disciplinary attendance of council members, particularly in the context of plenary meetings. The background of this research stems from the significance of attendance as part of the accountability and integrity of legislative institutions. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, focusing on ethical mechanisms, institutional role dynamics, and the challenges faced by the Badan Kehormatan in carrying out its duties. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with members of the Badan Kehormatan, DPRD members, and secretariat staff, as well as official documents related to the code of conduct and internal regulations. The findings reveal that the role of the Badan Kehormatan emphasizes moral, educational, and interpersonal approaches rather than formal-procedural enforcement. The ethical mechanisms applied are informal and adaptive but are not yet supported by a strong institutional framework. Major challenges include weak sanction regulations, the political positioning of Badan Kehormatan members, and the absence of a strong ethical culture within the DPRD. This study concludes that ethical enforcement requires the strengthening of values, institutional structures, and consistent political role models. Based on the research findings, the researchers recommend several measures, including strengthening ethical mechanisms through written SOPs, enhancing institutional capacity and ethical education at the Serang City DPRD Ethics Council, and reforming attendance regulations and institutional transparency of DPRD ethical performance. Furthermore, suggestions for future research include expanding the study context, using a qualitative-narrative or phenomenological approach, and utilizing participatory instruments such as focus group discussions (FGD) or participant observation.

Abstract

The issue of homelessness and begging continues to pose a significant social challenge, including in Serang City. To address this, the Serang City Social Affairs Office has implemented a Social Rehabilitation Program aimed at restoring the social functions of homeless individuals and beggars. This study evaluates the policy using William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation model, which includes six dimensions: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving social office staff, field officers, and program beneficiaries. The findings reveal that while the program has been relatively successful in reducing the recurrence of street begging, several obstacles remain, including limited budget allocation, lack of facilities, insufficient outreach, and a shortage of support staff. In conclusion, although the program demonstrates positive outcomes, improvements in supporting aspects are essential to ensure that the objectives of social rehabilitation are achieved more effectively and sustainably.

Abstract

Abolition and amnesty are instruments of state pardon granted by the President in his capacity as the holder of prerogative rights. In the Indonesian constitutional system, the President’s authority to grant abolition and amnesty is explicitly regulated in Article 14 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which stipulates that the President grants amnesty and abolition with due regard to the considerations of the House of Representatives. This provision indicates that the President’s prerogative authority is not absolute, but subject to a check-and-balance mechanism. This study employs a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The findings reveal that the President’s prerogative rights in granting abolition and amnesty embody the principle of state sovereignty, limited by the Constitution and political legitimacy through the House of Representatives. The mechanism of application and granting involves a written request to the President, administrative verification by relevant ministries or institutions, and consideration by the House of Representatives before being finalized in a Presidential decree. Thus, the granting of abolition and amnesty is not solely the President’s prerogative, but also a constitutional instrument that must be exercised prudently, transparently, and oriented toward justice and national interest.

Abstract

This study examines innovations in policies and regulations regarding witness and victim protection in Indonesia, with a focus on strengthening the legal framework, institutional capacity, and implementation within the criminal justice system. The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), as a non-ministerial government body, plays a strategic role in ensuring justice but continues to face challenges such as weak institutional structure, limited human resources, inadequate facilities and funding, and suboptimal use of information technology. This research employs a normative juridical approach complemented by limited empirical analysis of regulations, institutions, and policy implementation. The findings highlight the urgency of reforming witness and victim protection through revising Law No. 31 of 2014 using an omnibus law approach, formulating a grand design for witness and victim protection 2025–2045, establishing a dedicated trust fund, and developing restorative justice-based protection clinics. Furthermore, optimizing legal structures, enhancing regulatory quality, strengthening legal culture, and advancing digitalization through the national one-data system and electronic-based government system (SPBE) are key strategies. In conclusion, innovation in witness and victim protection policies and regulations in Indonesia must be directed toward institutional strengthening, improving civil service competence toward smart ASN, and ensuring sustainable funding to establish a modern, inclusive, and just national legal system.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the issue of street vendors’ (PKL) compliance with the Local Regulation (Perda) on Public Order in Bandung City, which often creates tension between the local government and the community. The research aims to analyze street vendors’ perceptions of the regulation, their compliance levels, and the factors influencing the relationship between the two. A mixed-method approach was applied, combining quantitative data from a 3-point Likert questionnaire distributed to 40 street vendors located in Alun-Alun Bandung, Jalan Pasteur, Cicadas, and Tegalega, with qualitative data obtained from in-depth interviews. The results indicate that the majority of street vendors hold negative perceptions of the regulation, particularly regarding fairness and its impact on their income. Quantitative findings reveal that only 25% of respondents show positive perceptions, while 75% remain negative. Compliance levels are also low: only 30% of respondents adequately follow zoning and cleanliness rules, while most often violate operating hours and stall placement. Qualitative findings further highlight that the manner of enforcement by officers and lack of effective socialization contribute to this low compliance. The study concludes that negative perceptions are directly related to lower compliance with the regulation. Therefore, it is recommended that the local government adopt a more humanistic and participatory approach, enhance regulation socialization, provide alternative business spaces, train enforcement officers in persuasive communication, and involve street vendors in the policy-making process.

Abstract

The research centered on the tension between traditional marriage guardianship laws, where the guardian holds full authority, and the reality of the independence of millennial Muslim women who have become autonomous and active subjects in making their life choices. This tension creates a gap between formal rules and social practice. This research is designed as library research. In this study, the validity test is focused on credibility through triangulation of sources. The results of the study show that: 1). From Authority to Approval: There has been a paradigm shift in understanding religious texts. The role of the guardian is no longer seen as an absolute authority that must be obeyed, but as a party who gives approval and blessing in a partnership contract. This understanding was born from a reinterpretation that emphasized the principles of voluntariness and equality. 2).. Support system vs. Gatekeeper: In practice, the guardian has two faces. On the one hand, it can be a "gatekeeper" who blocks women's choices on traditional grounds, creating conflict. On the other hand, it can function as a "support system" that provides support and advice. Millennial women are actively negotiating, from dialogue to threats using legal channels, to change the role of guardians from barriers to supporters. 3. Regulation and Reality: Positive law, in this case the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), still requires guardians. However, it also provides a way out. Through Article 23 of the KHI, the Religious Court can appoint a substitute guardian if the guardian refuses without sharia reasons. This mechanism became a safety valve that responded to the demands of independence, while the discourse of legal reform to adopt a more egalitarian view continued to emerge.

Abstract

The application of Open Government principles in online licensing services aims to increase transparency, participation, and accountability in public services. This study evaluates Open Government in online licensing services at the Palangka Raya City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP) through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyzed six key aspects based on William N. Dunn's evaluation theory: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The research findings indicate that the OSS system successfully increased the efficiency of the licensing process with fast turnaround times (1-5 days) and more open access to information, supported by outreach and technical assistance. However, challenges such as low digital literacy among the public (especially the elderly), gaps in technology access, and delays in verification still hamper optimization. These results emphasize the need for improved digital infrastructure, human resource training, and inclusive outreach to strengthen the implementation of Open Government principles.

Abstract

This paper examines the principles of legal certainty and contractual freedom in Indonesian civil law through a normative juridical analysis of the Civil Code and its application in contemporary practice. Legal certainty ensures predictability and enforceability of agreements, while contractual freedom provides parties with autonomy to establish contractual terms. However, these principles are not absolute and often exist in tension, particularly when contractual autonomy is restricted by statutory provisions, public order, morality, or consumer protection laws. By analyzing statutory frameworks, jurisprudence, and doctrinal perspectives, this study finds that Indonesian civil law seeks to harmonize these principles rather than treat them as opposites. Contemporary challenges, such as standard form contracts, digital transactions, and consumer protection, highlight the need for a balanced approach. The findings demonstrate that Indonesian civil law must uphold both legal certainty and contractual freedom in a way that respects individual autonomy while safeguarding justice, fairness, and social interests.

Abstract

The research, entitled "A Legal Study of the Impact of Advertising on Consumers," is motivated by the author's experience purchasing substandard cosmetics due to the influence of advertising on electronic media (television broadcasts) and recent consumer complaints about inaccurate information conveyed in print media advertisements. The purpose of this study is to determine civil liability for consumer losses due to the influence of advertising. This is an empirical study that emphasizes field data; however, it begins with a review of secondary data obtained from the literature. The results reveal that the legal framework for print and electronic media advertising, as stipulated in Article 17 of Law No. 8 of 1999 and the Indonesian Advertising Code of Ethics, is ineffective in protecting consumers from the influence of advertising that uses excessively subjective opinions without supporting facts and is unprofessional. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately establish a Non-Governmental Consumer Protection Agency (NPPA) that can advocate for consumer interests. Government oversight of print and electronic media advertising is needed to ensure business actors are compliant and create a conducive business climate.

Abstract

This research discusses the relationship between law, power, and social resistance. The background of the research shows that a number of policies and legislative products? are considered not pro-people?and tend to benefit the rulers and businessmen, while the space for public participation in the law-making process is largely closed. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of the decline in the effectiveness of the law and the role of demonstrations and a means of socio-political correction, The method used is juridical normative with a study of related theories, concept, doctines, and legislation. The results of the study show that laws can be “overturned” or lose their legitimacy due to three main factor : (1) the law itself – reflected in problematic substance and prosedures as well as the judicial review decisions of the Constitutional Court; (2) power – political influence on the formation and amendment of laws, resulting in the laws often functioning as political tools; and (3) riots of demonstrations – historical mass actions have proven effective in driving social and legal change (e.g., the proclamation of independence, the 1998 reform, the labor movement). The conclusion emphasizes that changing the law requires a combination of political effort, legal mechanisms, and mass mobilization. The recommendations stress the importance of public participation in the legislative process, the use of available legal channel, and the strengthening of social movements as the corrective to policies that harm the people.
