Abstract

The advent of the digital era and information age has opened a floodgate for access to information for research purposes and private study. This phenomenon has also increased the rate at which researchers are able to copy other author’s works and abuse the privilege of the fair dealing doctrine provided in section 20(1) of the Nigerian Copyright Act (NCA) 2022. Using the doctrinal approach, this paper examined how the abuses of the fair dealing doctrine has resulted in the twin vices of copyright infringement and plagiarism. The paper examined the differences between copyright infringement and plagiarism, and whether they coalesce under the NCA 2022. It was found that by requiring ‘acknowledgement’ or attribution of copyrighted works for the application of the fair dealing doctrine under section 20(1) of the NCA 2022, the new Act has effectively merged both copyright infringement and plagiarism under our law, especially in view of the enforceability of moral rights under section 14 of the Act.

Abstract

Spatial planning policy plays a fundamental role in directing sustainable development and ensuring balance between land use and environmental protection. This study aims to analyze the influence of spatial planning policy on the effectiveness of environmental management based on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), focusing on the integration between Regional Spatial Plans (RTRW), Detailed Spatial Plans (RDTR), and EIA within Indonesia’s legal and institutional framework. The research employed a juridical-normative approach supported by contextual analysis of institutional data and environmental planning documents in North Sulawesi Province. The analysis was conducted through legal document review, normative interpretation, and policy comparison across levels of government. The results show that integration between RTRW/RDTR and EIA remains ineffective due to regulatory disharmony, weak institutional coordination, and limited spatial data availability. The functional relationship between Approval of Spatial Utilization Conformity and Environmental Approval, which should be sequential, often operates separately in practice. The analytical model indicates that spatial data readiness and institutional capacity have a direct influence on policy integration effectiveness, while cross-sectoral coordination serves as a mediating factor that strengthens inter-agency synergy. These findings emphasize the need for regulatory harmonization, institutional strengthening, and the acceleration of the One Map Policy implementation as a foundation for evidence-based decision-making. This study contributes to the understanding of adaptive and ecologically just environmental governance within Indonesia’s spatial planning system.

Abstract

Sustainable development is a fundamental principle that guides economic, social, and environmental policies in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the integration of sustainable development principles within the national environmental law system, particularly in the context of risk-based licensing reforms following the enactment of the Job Creation Law and Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021. This research employs a normative juridical approach, combining statute, conceptual, and case approaches, supported by primary legal materials (laws and court decisions) and secondary sources (academic literature and institutional reports). The analysis was conducted qualitatively through a deductive syllogism method and grammatical, systematic, and teleological interpretation to assess the coherence between legal norms and sustainability principles. The findings indicate that although the principles of precaution, state responsibility, public participation, and polluter pay have been incorporated into Indonesia’s environmental law framework, their implementation remains formalistic and ineffective in mitigating the environmental impacts of development. The risk-based licensing regime enhances administrative efficiency but potentially weakens preventive oversight mechanisms and public transparency. Institutional weaknesses, fragmented central–local authority, and the limited use of economic instruments further constrain legal effectiveness. This study emphasizes the need for legal reform through the strengthening of strategic environmental assessment, integration of digital monitoring systems, and substantive application of the polluter pays principle. The results contribute to the advancement of ecological constitutionalism and sustainable governance frameworks within developing countries, providing practical implications for the reform of environmental legal policies toward a more equitable and sustainable development paradigm.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal certainty of citizens’ rights concerning environmental pollution in Indonesia within the framework of national law and its enforcement practices. The research is motivated by the increasing number of pollution cases and the limited effectiveness of legal protection for affected communities, despite Indonesia’s environmental law framework having adopted the polluter pays, precautionary, and strict liability principles. The study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. Primary legal materials include the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 32 of 2009, Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021, and Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2023, all analyzed qualitatively and descriptively through systematic and teleological interpretation. The findings indicate that environmental law enforcement in Indonesia remains dominated by administrative actions (61%), while civil and criminal avenues show low effectiveness due to weak scientific evidence, poor interagency coordination, and limited investigative capacity. The implementation of risk-based licensing and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as online dispute resolution, represents a positive innovation; however, their application remains uneven across sectors and regions. The lack of public participation and transparency in environmental data exacerbates legal uncertainty and weakens both governmental and corporate accountability. This study highlights the need to integrate national legal norms, international principles, and digital technology to strengthen the effectiveness of environmental law enforcement. The findings imply the importance of institutional reform, improved access to justice, and the acceleration of legal modernization toward an equitable and sustainable environmental governance system.

Abstract

This study provides a normative legal analysis of the protection of minority shareholders in limited liability companies (Perseroan Terbatas/PT) in Indonesia. Minority shareholders often face unequal treatment due to the dominance of majority shareholders in decision-making, leading to potential abuse and neglect of their rights. Using a doctrinal approach, the research examines the legal framework under Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies and related regulations, focusing on mechanisms such as derivative suits, company dissolution rights, accountability of directors and commissioners, and access to information. The analysis reveals that while Indonesia’s legal system formally recognizes these protections, their practical enforcement is hindered by high ownership thresholds, judicial inconsistency, lengthy litigation processes, and limited shareholder awareness. Comparative perspectives from jurisdictions such as the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, and Malaysia highlight Indonesia’s need to strengthen its enforcement mechanisms and corporate governance practices. The study concludes that lowering procedural barriers, enhancing judicial consistency, promoting alternative dispute resolution, and improving legal literacy are crucial to ensuring effective protection of minority shareholders. Strengthening these protections not only guarantees fairness for shareholders but also contributes to investor confidence and sustainable corporate development in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of good faith (itikad baik) in commercial transactions within the framework of Indonesian business law using a normative juridical approach. Good faith, as a fundamental principle of contract law, is recognized in the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata), particularly Articles 1338 and 1339, which emphasize that contracts must be executed in good faith and in line with propriety. Despite its doctrinal importance, the interpretation and enforcement of good faith in Indonesia remain inconsistent. Judicial practice shows variations between a subjective approach—focusing on honesty of intention—and an objective approach—emphasizing fairness, reasonableness, and protection of counterpart interests. This inconsistency creates legal uncertainty and weakens business confidence. Comparative analysis with German, Dutch, and international frameworks such as the UNIDROIT Principles and CISG highlights the importance of codifying and applying good faith uniformly to promote fairness and predictability. The findings recommend clearer legislative guidelines, the adoption of objective standards, judicial consistency, and alignment with international practices to strengthen contractual stability and Indonesia’s competitiveness in global trade.

Abstract

This study explores the life dynamics of Amirah, a single mother who serves as the primary economic and emotional support for her extended family. Amirah is responsible not only for her two children but also for her siblings and nieces and nephews. Her economic activity as a street food vendor selling bakso pecel from her home porch symbolizes a micro-level class struggle, where family survival is sustained through perseverance, empathy, and familial solidarity. The aim of this research is to understand how Amirah negotiates her social position within the dialectics between economic struggle and family conscience, as well as how values of empathy and social responsibility shape the stability of her life. The study employs a qualitative approach using direct observation (fieldwork) and library research as the basis for a socio-empirical analysis. The findings indicate that although Amirah’s economic condition remains relatively static due to the heavy family burden, she manages to sustain her family’s livelihood through social strategies rooted in empathy and personal relationships with her customers. The dialectic between the desire for upward social mobility and the awareness of family responsibility forms the core dynamic reflecting the social reality of the lower class within a domestic economic context.

Abstract

The detention and release of detainees is an essential part of Indonesia's criminal justice system that demands a balance between law enforcement and human rights protection. Although Law No. 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Law (KUHAP) has provided a normative basis for detention procedures, the phenomenon of detention without legal procedures and the release of prisoners that do not comply with administrative standards is still often found in practice. Weak supervision, confusion of legal interpretation, and disharmony between technical regulations at the police, correctional and judicial levels have led to violations of prisoners' rights. This study uses a normative juridical approach to examine the effectiveness of the implementation of detention rules and detainee releases, as well as identify the factors causing deviations from the principles of due process of law. The findings suggest that there is an urgent need to tighten standard procedures, strengthen oversight, improve interagency coordination, and provide legal education to stakeholders. Reforms in the governance of detention and detention release are urgently needed to ensure justice and legal certainty, as well as to create a national criminal justice system that is more effective, transparent, and upholds human rights
