Abstract

Notary is a prestigious, noble profession (nobile officium), with high values of nobility and dignity. Thus, in carrying out his duties and position a Notary must be guided normatively by applicable legal regulations and have a responsible attitude towards the authentic deeds he makes. Therefore, the urgency of this research is to analyse the authority of the Supervisory board in providing guidance to Notaries who are negligent in storying their Minutes of deeds and the protection as well as legal certainty of the parties in the event of the loss of Minutes of Deeds, which are evidence for the parties. This research is a normative legal research conducted by examining library materials or secondary data, which commonly referred to library study research. This study concludes that the Minister of law and Human Rights formed the Supervisory board with the aim of supervising and providing guidance to Notaries in carrying out their professional positions as public officials. Supervisory board consists of Regional Notary Supervisory Board, Territory Notary Supervisory Board and Central Notary Supervisory Board. This is made in accordance with its work area, Regional Supervisory Board as the main spearhead has the authority in terms of guidance and examination, one of which is regarding the Minutes of Deeds, which are part of the Notary Protocol. The Regional Supervisiory Board can impose sanctions as a form of guidance on Notaries who commit violations, one of which is negligence in storinfg minutes of deeds. Notary is responsible for the loss of the Minutes of th Deed by making a report to the Indonesian Police as a form of fulfilling the rights and legal certainty regarding the copy of the deed kept by the parties.

Abstract

This study examines the risk of suspended sovereignty as a consequence of the ratification of the Apostille Convention in Indonesia from the perspective of Article 1337 of the Civil Code. The apostille system accelerates the legalization of foreign public documents, including international contracts, but reduces the substantive oversight function of Indonesian authorities. As a result, foreign documents that are formally valid and have obtained an apostille can still be recognized in Indonesia, even though they contradict national legal norms as stipulated in Article 1337 of the Civil Code. This condition creates a legal vacuum that weakens the practice of protecting national norms, so that substantive filtering can only be carried out after the document becomes a source of dispute. The research results recommend the urgency of a complementary mechanism in the form of regulations and substantive testing so that global administrative efficiency remains in line with the principles of legal sovereignty and the integrity of Indonesian values amid the tide of globalization of agreements.

Abstract

The examination of witnesses is very important in the examination of criminal cases, because these witnesses can shed light on a case. A witness is an individual who has direct information about a criminal event. A person is brought forward as a witness because he immediately "hears, sees and experiences" the criminal case. Witnesses are expected to provide information for the purposes of investigation, prosecution, and justice about a criminal case. So important is the position of the witness, so the existence of the witness should be regulated in laws and regulations, including the assistance of advocates when giving information in front of police investigators. This study examines the legal politics of witness regulation in criminal cases, with reference to the Criminal Code. The Indonesian people are waiting for the renewal of the Criminal Code to replace Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Law. This research concludes that legal politics as shown by the Draft Criminal Procedure Law provides more opportunities for advocates to provide legal services for suspects and witnesses in the examination of criminal cases ranging from the level of investigation in the police to the examination in court

Abstract

This article critically examines the urgency of reformulating the governance framework of Carbon Economic Value (CEV) in Indonesia by integrating the ethical principles of Pancasila as Indonesia’s national ideology and climate justice. The increasing risks of inequality, greenwashing, and transnational environmental crimes in voluntary and compliance carbon markets demand a just, adaptive, and integrity-based legal approach. By highlighting the current regulatory gaps and institutional weaknesses, this paper proposes a hybrid legal framework for carbon trading, anchored in Indonesia’s national ideology, environmental law, and behavioral economic approaches. The article concludes with specific policy recommendations and outlines a roadmap for legislative reform to ensure Indonesia's carbon governance is both globally competitive and locally just.

Abstract

The information technology revolution has changed the face of global trade, including in Indonesia. Rapid advances in digital technology have had a significant impact on the national trading system, where buying and selling activities are no longer limited to conventional trade but have developed into electronic-based trade transactions. This study analyzes the effectiveness of regulations on the collection of income tax from e-commerce transactions via social media on tax fairness for MSMEs in Indonesia. The evolution of e-commerce tax regulations shows a gradual development from the 2021 HPP Law to PMK 37/2025, but there are still significant legal gaps in the regulation of transactions via social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp Business. Using a normative legal research method with a legislative and conceptual approach, this study applies Soerjono Soekanto’s theory of legal effectiveness and John Rawls’ theory of justice as analytical tools. The findings indicate that PMK 37/2025 is ineffective in reaching social media transactions due to the informal characteristics of these platforms that enable transactions without formal registration, payments through personal transfers, and communication via private chats. This regulatory gap creates distributive injustice that disadvantages traditional MSMEs, who are bound by strict tax obligations while competitors on social media can avoid tax burdens. Soekanto’s theoretical analysis shows the regulation fails to meet the implementability criteria for the social media segment, while Rawls’ theory identifies violations of equality and reasonableness principles that create unfair competition. The study concludes that comprehensive regulation combining technological automation with procedural simplification is necessary to achieve equitable competitive conditions for all business actors.

Abstract

Law enforcement in Indonesia's oil palm plantation sector faces various challenges, especially in terms of recovering assets resulting from corruption and environmental damage. Legal systems that rely on conviction-based asset forfeiture mechanisms are often slow and difficult to prove the origin of assets, thus incapable of reaching the full extent of the large ecological and economic losses. This journal examines the potential application of the Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture (NCBAF) mechanism as a faster and more effective alternative solution, especially in the case of corporations with complex ownership structures and illegal land conversion modes. Through jurisprudence analysis and regulatory studies, it was found that legal reform was needed, including amendments to the Asset Forfeiture Bill and clarification of legal phrases related to state losses, so that the asset recovery system can run more fairly and efficiently. This approach is expected to strengthen efforts to eradicate corruption and environmental damage, as well as support the overall recovery of state losses in Indonesia's oil palm plantation sector.

Abstract

As stated in Article 1(8) of the Judicial Power Act, tax courts are special courts under the Supreme Court and part of the judicial branch. According to Article 1(5) of the Tax Court Law, tax disputes are those arising in the field of taxation between taxpayers and authorized officials as a result of a decision that can be appealed or challenged in the Tax Court, in accordance with tax laws and regulations. This includes lawsuits regarding the enforcement of tax collection based on the Tax Collection Act with a Summons. Law No. 17 of 1997 on Tax Collection by Means of a Forced Execution Letter regulates tax disputes arising from tax collection actions by officials that do not comply with legal procedures, causing taxpayers to feel aggrieved. Constitutional Court Decision No. 26/PUU-XXI/2023 is based on Article 24(1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which states that the Supreme Court and the courts under its authority exercise judicial power. The decision reaffirms that the Tax Court is part of the judicial power and that the Supreme Court must supervise it. Constitutional Court Decision No. 26/PUU-XXI/2023 aims to enhance the Tax Court's independence. Transferring the authority for the organization, administration, and finance of the Tax Court from the Ministry of Finance to the Supreme Court is expected to achieve this goal. Prior to the decision, the Tax Court was under the Supreme Court within the Administrative Court System. The Tax Court was also under the Ministry of Finance in terms of organizational, administrative, and financial supervision in accordance with Article 5(2) of Law No. 14 of 2002 on the Tax Court. However, the arrangement of the status of tax courts following the issuance of Constitutional Court Decision No. 26/PUU-XXI/2023 has raised the issue that the decision does not automatically amend the provisions of Law No. 14 of 2002 on Tax Courts, particularly Article 5(2). According to Constitutional Court Decision No. 26/PUU-XXI/2023, the Supreme Court is responsible for supervising the organization, administration, and finances of the Tax Courts. However, Article 5(2) of Law No. 14 of 2002 of the Republic of Indonesia on Tax Courts grants the Ministry of Finance the authority to supervise the organization, administration, and finances of the Tax Courts. These conflicting provisions result in the loss of the Tax Court's status as an independent judicial institution.

Abstract

The global expansion of transnational corporations has intensified concerns over human rights (HR) violations, including forced labor, environmental harm, and the displacement of local communities. Existing international instruments—such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and OECD Guidelines—remain non-binding and lack effective enforcement. While regional initiatives like the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) signal a transition toward binding obligations, their territorial scope limits broader applicability. This gap underscores the pressing need for normative frameworks that supersede voluntary standards. This study adopts a normative juridical methodology, analyzing international instruments, landmark cases (Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum and Chevron v. Ecuador), and comparative regulatory approaches. The findings demonstrate that private international law offers untapped potential to embed HR due diligence (HRDD) obligations within transnational business practices. Contractual mechanisms, choice of law clauses, and international arbitration can transform HRDD into binding legal commitments, complementing public international law while addressing jurisdictional and enforcement barriers. The novelty of this research lies in reframing private international law as a substantive tool for human rights enforcement. It advances the paradigm of “privatization of human rights accountability,” expanding the discourse on corporate accountability beyond the limits of public law. Practically, the study contributes actionable models for regulators and corporations to integrate HRDD into global supply chains, thereby strengthening both human rights protection and sustainable corporate governance

Abstract

Globalization has expanded cross-border trade while also increasing the number of international commercial disputes. Litigation, though authoritative, is often expensive, time-consuming, and complicated by different jurisdictional rules, which weakens legal certainty for businesses. Mediation provides a more efficient and flexible alternative that helps maintain business relationships. However, its effectiveness is still limited by fragmented national regulations, the voluntary nature of the UNCITRAL Model Law (2002), and limited ratification of the Singapore Convention on Mediation (2019). This study employs a normative legal approach, incorporating a comparative analysis of selected jurisdictions (the United States, the European Union, Singapore, and Indonesia), and is supported by secondary literature and institutional reports. Findings indicate that while Singapore has aligned its domestic law with international standards, most jurisdictions still treat international mediation ambiguously, weakening enforceability. Additional barriers include the shortage of qualified mediators, cultural biases toward litigation, and low business awareness. The novelty of this research lies in its integration of normative, socio-cultural, and institutional dimensions. Theoretically, it reinforces the transnational legal process framework; practically, it proposes a roadmap to strengthen mediation’s legitimacy through wider ratification, legal alignment, and capacity-building for mediators. The study concludes that a harmonized legal framework for international commercial mediation is not merely aspirational but a pressing necessity for global economic stability.

Abstract

Land ownership has long been seen as a fundamental right, but its protection under international law remains fragmented and inadequate. While the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related covenants recognize the property right, there is no comprehensive international instrument explicitly safeguarding land rights, especially amid systematic land grabbing and forced evictions. This study employs a normative legal approach with a qualitative design, analyzing primary legal sources—including international treaties, jurisprudence from the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court—as well as academic literature and reports from civil society. The findings highlight three main points. First, international recognition of land rights is weak and lacks effective enforcement mechanisms. Second, systematic violations like mass evictions could be considered international crimes, particularly crimes against humanity, but the lack of explicit jurisprudence creates interpretive ambiguity. Third, while states often justify large-scale land dispossession, corporate accountability at the international level remains limited because it relies on non-binding soft law principles. Reflecting on these findings, the study advocates for the development of a normative framework that links land rights protection with international criminal responsibility. Such a framework would not only strengthen theoretical understanding by connecting property rights with international criminal law but also offer practical guidance for policymakers, international organizations, and civil society. Ultimately, this research aims to help bridge the gap between formal recognition and absolute protection of land rights in the context of globalization.
