Abstract

This article identifies and analyzes the authority of provincial regionalgovernments in issuing mining permits based on Law Number 23 of 2014concerning Regional Government and Abuse of authority by Provincial Regional Governments in issuing mining business permits. The research method used is a normative legal research method. The results show that the authority to issue mining permits based on Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional. Government is divided between the Regional Government and the Provincial Government. The authority to issue mining permits based on the concept of regional autonomy is more appropriate if it is owned by the regional government because the local government understands and knows their respective regions better. Furthermore, regarding licensing in the mineral and coal mining sector in the era of regional autonomy with the issuance of Law Number 22 of 1999 and updated with Law Number 32 of 2004 concerning Regional Government, Law Number 11 of 1967 concerning the principal principles of mining was originally is centralized and then adapts to the Regional Government Law to become decentralized. So that the government’s policy on licensing aspects in the mining sector in its implementation becomes overlapping between the authority of the Minister and the authority of the regent in granting permits for mining activities, resulting in misuse by the mining permit mafia by buying and selling permits, which in the end many permits are issued without following forest protection or sustainability rules. environment.

Abstract

Restorative justice emerged from the concept of criminal law reform. The Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) do not recognize the concept of out-of-court/non-litigation resolution. Therefore, when there is a reconciliation between the disputing parties, the case does not necessarily have to proceed to court. Throughout 2021 until March 2022, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) resolved 15,039 cases using restorative justice, an increase of 28.3% from the previous year's 9,199 cases. The main principle of restorative justice is law enforcement that always prioritizes restoring the situation to its original state and reinstating good relationships within the community. Based on the background description, this article examines and analyzes the implementation of restorative justice and the obstacles to resolving criminal offenses at the investigation and inquiry levels at the Malang Resort Police. This research is an empirical legal study, collecting primary data sources in the Malang Police jurisdiction. Data indicate that resolutions through restorative justice have increased each year: 2019: 2,415 reports, 180 cases (7.5%) resolved; 2020: 1,517 reports, 226 cases (14.9%) resolved; 2021: 1,263 reports, 160 cases (12.7%) resolved; 2022: 1,065 reports, 209 cases (19.6%) resolved; 2023: 1,140 reports, 273 cases (23.6%) resolved. This increase has a positive impact as it aligns with the principles of criminal justice that are simple, quick, and low-cost, avoiding the necessity to bring cases to trial. The main obstacle in implementing restorative justice is the failure to reach a peace agreement between the victim and the perpetrator.

Abstract

In the Linkage product, banks provide facilities for BPR (Rural Banks) to obtain credit facilities of significant amounts to ensure smooth operations and productive capital for debtors in need. Additionally, the guarantees used are in the form of Asset Replacement or Nominative Performing Loans. The list of Nominative Performing Loans provided by BPR includes the names of borrowing debtors, personal data of the BPR debtors, including identification numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, account numbers at the BPR, and the credit limits utilized. This creates legal issues in the event of default regarding loans that are not secured by valuable assets. This research is conducted using a normative legal approach, where the author will delve into positive legal norms and other legal literature. The research questions raised are: What is the process of credit agreements under the Linkage scheme with Asset Replacement or Nominative Performing Loan collateral and how is the resolution process for defaulting debtors under the Linkage scheme with Asset Replacement or Nominative Performing Loan collateral. The research findings indicate that the credit agreement process under the Linkage scheme with Asset Replacement or Nominative Performing Loan collateral is valid in contractual law, as it meets the validity requirements stipulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code. Furthermore, the resolution process is carried out through judicial procedures, namely by filing a default lawsuit accompanied by a request for asset seizure against the debtor's property, as regulated in Article 1131 of the Civil Code.

Abstract

This article examines and analyzes the application of the principle of openness in the Indonesian National Army institution while maintaining state secrets and the obstacles experienced as well as the efforts of the TNI institution in implementing the principle of openness to public information while maintaining state secrecy. The method used is an empirical legal research method and uses a sociological approach. The results show that state secrets should be part of national security which has an important role in safeguarding strategic/tactical information owned by a country/government. The existence of state secrets must also not compromise the interests of citizens. State secrecy practices directly and indirectly are of course related to individual rights and freedoms which must also be protected. This provision is regulated in Article 17 letter c of the KIP Law which stipulates that every Public Body is obliged to provide access for every Public Information Applicant to obtain public information, except for public information which, if opened and given to the Public Information Applicant, could endanger the defense and security of the State. The application of the principle of openness in the Indonesian National Army Institutions while maintaining state secrets is carried out by classifying information, objects and activities of the Indonesian National Army according to the provisions of Article 17 of the Law on Openness of Public Information. If the leak of information, objects and activities from the Indonesian National Army can cause various problems including the loss of state sovereignty and the disintegration of the nation, then this information, objects and activities are state secrets which must not be shared with the public. Furthermore, the obstacle in implementing the principle of openness while maintaining state secrets is in terms of human resources, where TNI members do not really understand the rules regarding matters that can be categorized as state secrets and those that are not. Apart from that, suboptimal supervision could also be the cause of the principle of information disclosure not being implemented properly in TNI institutions.

Abstract

Fiduciary is a process of transferring ownership rights to an object based on trust, provided that the object remains in the control of the owner of the object. The implementation of this form of engagement is a hire purchase agreement between the creditor and the debtor, where this engagement does not always run smoothly. There are times when the debtor commits embezzlement, namely by deliberately transferring the hand of the fiduciary collateral object without the creditor's permission. The purpose of this research is to examine the application of legal regulations to debtors who commit criminal acts of fraud and embezzlement related to fiduciary guarantees and the basis for consideration by Supreme Court Judge Number 485 K/Pid/2020. The research method used is normative juridical. The results of this research include that in the Fiduciary Guarantee Law there are criminal sanctions for debtors (fiduciary givers) who commit acts of transferring fiduciary collateral objects without prior approval from the fiduciary recipient (creditor). Meanwhile, in the Criminal Code it is included in the crime of embezzlement, namely Article 372. The basis for the judge's consideration in deciding the case is 1). Whereas the defendant has been proven to have harmed the victim witness; 2). The defendant did not return the victim's losses.

Abstract

The legal product in the form of a Regent's Regulation issued by the West Kutai Regency Government which specifically regulates Guidelines for the Implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility is a form of control function over companies operating in the West Kutai Regency area by the West Kutai Regency Government. Based on the description above, this article examines and analyzes the Implementation of the Social Responsibility Obligations of Limited Liability Companies in the Natural Resources Sector Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies in West Kutai Regency and the factors that hinder its implementation. The research method used in this research is an empirical legal research method. Trubaindo Coal Mining in implementing the Regulations on Limited Liability Company Social Responsibility Obligations in the field of natural resources based on Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies in West Kutai Regency has implemented the company's corporate social responsibility in accordance with the program required by the people of Muara Begai Village. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors that arise in implementing implementation are not being able to differentiate between needs and desires, there are several groups that prioritize personal interests rather than the people at large, of course this will interfere with the company in grouping the right groups that require Corporate Social Responsibility. The lack of Human Resources (HR) cannot be denied as an inhibiting factor and unforeseen things such as natural disasters such as floods, make it impossible to carry out scheduled Corporate Social Responsibility programs.

Abstract

This article aims to examine and analyze the implementation of protection for fishing workers and the efforts that can be made by parties to improve the conditions of fishing workers in Muncar Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia. The method used in compiling this scientific article is the empirical legal research method. The types of data used are primary data and secondary data. Primary data was obtained by conducting interviews with ship owners and fishermen workers. The results show that regulatory protection for fishermen workers has been provided. With the existence of Law Number 31 of 2004 concerning Fisheries and the existence of Presidential Instruction Number 15 of 2011 concerning Fisherman Protection. And it is hoped that it will be even better with the promulgation of Law Number 7 of 2016 concerning the Protection and Empowerment of Fishermen, Fish Farmers and Salt Farmers. However, the implementation of legal protection was not carried out due to a lack of intensive socialization of related parties and a lack of awareness of ship/boat owners and fishermen workers regarding safety equipment. Lack of awareness of ship/boat owners and labor fishermen in the Muncar coastal area of Banyuwangi district in providing safety equipment. This is because ship owners and fishermen workers think that disasters come from God, and when the time comes for a disaster, they will definitely suffer. Apart from that, the use of safety equipment is only a distraction when working fishermen are pulling nets, so most of the crew members or working fishermen are reluctant to use safety equipment. Given these obstacles, there is a need for outreach activities and legal action for boat owners who do not comply with the rules for using safety equipment.
