Abstract

The Omnibus Law in Indonesia has generated significant controversy due to its far-reaching effects on legal, economic, and social dimensions, particularly regarding worker rights and the balance of business interests. This study aims to deliver a thorough review of the Omnibus Law through a systematic approach, providing a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders. Utilizing bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review methods, we analyzed 64 articles from Scopus, employing visualization tools such as VOSviewer and R-Studio to identify publication trends. Our analysis shows a global rise in interest in the Omnibus Law, with a notable increase in publications post-2020 and substantial engagement from international researchers. The results indicated that 40.6% of the articles supported the Omnibus Law, 37.5% opposed it, and 21.9% maintained a neutral stance. While the majority of articles favored the law, the significant number of critical perspectives underscores the necessity for a more in-depth examination, especially regarding worker rights. Key concerns include the law's approach to minimum wage, alignment with Islamic values, institutional integrity, and potential biases favoring businesses. We recommend establishing a wage mechanism that reflects living standards and inflation, as well as engaging Islamic legal experts to protect worker rights. Additionally, the Omnibus Law addresses issues beyond labor, such as climate change, legal protections, forest dynamics, and transparency, highlighting its extensive implications for Indonesia and opening numerous avenues for future research.

Abstract

The Hajj queue in Indonesia, which extends up to 25 years, necessitates clear and effective policies to mitigate this issue. One such policy is encapsulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia No. 29/2015, which amends the earlier Regulation No. 14/2012 on the Implementation of Regular Hajj. This regulation prohibits individuals who have already performed the Hajj pilgrimage from re-registering for a period of 10 years. This research employs the Ushul Fiqh approach. Data were collected by reviewing and analyzing pertinent literature, including documents and regulations of the Minister of Religious Affairs, as well as several ushul fiqh books and other relevant sources. The study aims to examine the restriction as a means to prevent potential unrest in the community, in line with the concept of Sadd al-Dzari’ah. This restriction is intended to benefit those who have not yet performed Hajj and to safeguard the rights of others to undertake this worship, adhering to the principle of tasharruf al-imam ala al-ra'iyah manuth bi al-maslahah. The implementation of this policy is expected to exchange the efficiency and effectiveness of Hajj pilgrimage management and reduce public unrest. Therefore, it is crucial that this policy is executed clearly and effectively to maximize its benefits for the community.

Abstract

Child marriage in Indonesia is a multifaceted issue, encompassing religious interpretations, cultural values, and even the influence of technological advancement. A significant factor is the amendment of Indonesian marriage law, which include Article 7, empowering judges to grant marriage dispensation. While this is viewed by some as a solution and a means of child protection through religious and cultural lenses, others see it as a perpetuation of child marriage, contradicting both child protection and marriage laws. This research aims to examine the impact of marriage law in Indonesia, specifically regarding age restrictions and its close association with marriage dispensations in religious courts. Critics argue that this provision has led to an increase in child marriages, with a multitude of biological, physiological, and sociological implications. This study employs normative legal research, incorporating legal, conceptual, and comparative approaches through case analysis and juridical methods. The findings indicate that Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974, along with its amendment—Law No. 16 of 2019, are legally inconsistent with Law No. 23 Year 2002 on child protection. Therefore, legal reform is recommended to raise the marriage age to 21, aligning with biological, psychological, and sociological definitions of adulthood.

Abstract

This study seeks to elucidate the challenges associated with compensation in marine pollution disputes through the lens of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) model. Governed by UUPPLH Number 32 of 2009, polluters are mandated to provide compensation for both affected parties and environmental restoration. However, the implementation of the ADR model in practice has seen polluters compensating only the affected communities, notably fishermen. This research endeavors to develop an ADR legal framework that encapsulates ecological justice, ensuring fairness for both society and the environment. The methodology employed in this study is non-doctrinal legal research, which involves analyzing legal phenomena within their social and cultural context. Findings from this research indicate that pollution disputes in the waters in Cilacap were resolved using the ADR model, with a disproportionate focus on compensating fishing communities. This results in environmental damage due to minimal environmental ADR legal framework grounded in the Polluter Pays principle. Such a framework should encompass legal provisions for environmental prevention, mitigation, and restoration. From a structural perspective, it is imperative to foster integration and connectivity between the community and ministries responsible for addressing marine environmental pollution, to facilitate effective environmental mitigation and restoration efforts. Additionally, in the realm of legal culture, there is a crucial need to cultivate legal awareness among the public regarding environmental conservation and management. This awareness should permeate all levels of society, including business entities, legislative bodies, the government, and law enforcement agencies. A robust legal system is essential for making ADR an equitable mechanism for resolving disputes, benefiting both victims of pollution and the environment.

Abstract

The resolution of bankruptcy disputes in Indonesia presents significant challenges due to the ease with which bankruptcy can be filed against debtors, even if they are capable of continuing their business operations and repaying their debts to creditors. This issue arises from the provisions of Article 2, paragraph (1) of Law 37/2004, which stipulate only two requirements for declaring bankruptcy: the existence of a past due debt and the presence of at least two creditors. This paper aims to examine the problems associated with bankruptcy dispute resolution in Indonesia and to propose the implementation of an insolvency test mechanism as a prerequisite before a Commercial Court judge can issue a bankruptcy ruling. Additionally, the study offers a comparative analysis of the insolvency test mechanisms employed in several countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Utilizing a doctrinal approach, this legal research analyzes primary and secondary literature by reviewing laws and regulations pertinent to the issues at hand. The findings of this study suggest that adopting an insolvency test is a crucial policy for the bankruptcy law framework in Indonesia. The implementation of such a test could prevent the bankruptcy of debtors who are still capable of fulfilling their financial obligations. Consequently, there is a need to revise Law 37/2004 to incorporate a legal instrument for the insolvency test.
The Urgency of Administrative Law in Light of Ius Constituendum Regarding the Role of Village Heads Rahmat, Diding; Sudarto, Sudarto; Sarip, Sarip; Sujono, Sujono; Aziz, Muhammad Faiz

Abstract

This article delves into the crucial aspects of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia's decision, focusing on the emergency state of administrative law concerning open legal policy decisions referred back to legislators, particularly regarding the tenure of village heads. The study employs a conceptual and legal approach, centering on the Constitutional Court Decision No.15/PUU-XI/2023 concerning the village head's position. This represents an open legal policy for law framers, paving the way for the political prevention of Pilkades (village head elections) money politics. Law No. 6 of 2014, which is under consideration for revision, lacks explicit measures against money politics. The methodology adopted is normative legal research that integrates legal theory with legislation. The findings indicate that open legal policy rulings necessitate immediate action by law framers, signaling administrative law urgency. The rationale is that law framers must react to that decision, and revising the law does not necessarily require inclusion in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas). Decision on open legal policies must be administratively executed by law framers, including the issuance of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perpu), which subsequently require legislative approval to become law. In essence, the decision of the Constitutional Court carries a moral and ethical coercive force, achieved by transforming ius constitutum into ius constituendum.

Abstract

This article aims to provide the recent court decision on legal status and working conditions for the gig worker in European Union as well as a lesson for Indonesia through the EU’s notion on gig workers. The European Union (EU) Commission enacted in 2021 a draft Directive proposal to ensure Europe's gig (platform) workers enjoy the same labour rights as other traditional employees. This article employs doctrinal legal research with statutory and comparative approach, as well as court decision are considered as the main basis to protect gig workers. The result shows that the drafts Directive to ensure Europe’s gig workers is relied on Articles 16 and 153 (1)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU), on data protection and working conditions, respectively. It has the advantage of giving certainty about the minimum requirements and procedural obligations that Member States must apply in platform work relations. Courts of several EU MSs, including Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the UK, already ruled in favour of platform workers not qualifying as self-employed, obliging platforms to reclassify them as employees. Meanwhile, Indonesia's perspective on gig workers remains vague, and the minimal standards for gig workers are unbalanced in comparison to the EU's perspective on gig workers. This article introduces the main notions and provisions of the proposed EU platform work Directive and analyses the current conditions and legal framework of Indonesia in handling the issue of gig workers.

Abstract

The main problem that farmers face now is the conversion of land function from agricultural to non-agricultural ones because of conflicts of interests. Behind this problem, there is an increase in demand for lands as a result of economic and population growths, leading to food security and import dependence threats. Therefore, protecting agricultural lands becomes more and more urgent to ensure the national food security. This research aims to identify the arising problems regarding the conversion of agricultural land function and the need to anticipate its control upon the enactment of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation. This research applied a normative research method using statute approach. The data it used consisted of primary legal materials such as Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation, and its derivative regulations such as Government Regulations (GR) and one Ministerial Regulation as technical operating references. The data were collected by reviewing the literature and studies, using qualitative analysis, including content analysis to evaluate information objectively. The conclusion was drawn deductively, from general ideas to specific findings. An in-depth investigation was carried out into the relevant legal facts using frame analysis, which limited the scope of studies and attempted to find solutions to the arising issues. The research found that upon the enactment of Job Creation Law, a significant change occurred in the regulations on agricultural land conversion in Indonesia. This led to new challenges in managing the land conversion and required anticipatory measures. Tight monitoring on the agricultural land usage and establishment of a specific institution to manage the state’s agricultural lands are needed. Through farmers’ and community’s active participation, it is expected that the government’s programs can be more responsive to local needs and maximize the use of limited resources.

Abstract

This article discusses Indonesia’s involvement in addressing the plight of the Rohingya refugees, who have been deprived of citizenship, leading to the erosion of their basic human rights. This deprivation has resulted in widespread social exclusion and displacement, forcing many to seek asylum in countries like Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to: firstly, analyze the legal framework within which international law enables the Indonesian government to responsibly manage refugee situation; and secondly, evaluate the collective efforts of the Indonesian government and the global community in seeking a comprehensive resolution to this crisis. The paper focuses on the legal dimensions of the Rohingya refugee situation in Indonesia, employing a normative approach. It offers a descriptive analysis from the perspective of governance and international law. The findings emphasize the need for the Indonesian government to adopt a proactive stance. Key measures include advocating for the Rohingya's right to citizenship, urging the Myanmar government to halt its violence, and calling for active intervention from the United Nations (UN) and the international community. Furthermore, it is recommended that Indonesia continues to offer temporary refuge on humanitarian grounds, ensuring the provision of aid and adhering to the principle of non-refoulement. Effective coordination among local and central governments, as well as international partners, is essential for the strategic management of refugee issues.
Optimizing Legal Protection: Addressing the Disparity of Sanctions Regarding Personal Names in Birth Certificates as Population Documents Maskur, Ali; Shabir, Muslich; Hapsin, Abu; Rismana, Daud; Purwanto, Joko

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of disparity in sanctions arising from the issuance of the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia on Name Registration in Population Documents. A case in Tuban highlights a child who was unable to obtain a birth certificate because the name was too long to be entered into the Population and Civil Registration Office system. The regulation imposes restrictions on naming children, requiring a minimum of two words and no more than sixty characters. Non-compliance with this regulation can result in the non-issuance of a birth certificate, potentially rendering the child stateless. This situation contradicts UDHR Article 15, ICCPR Article 24, CRC Articles 7-8, and the 1945 Constitution Article 26 (1) on citizenship. The purpose of this study is to highlight the imbalance between regulatory rules and sanctions, demonstrating how lower-level regulations can violate higher-level rules. This research employs a qualitative, literature-based, and normative-doctrinal approach. Secondary data sources include Permendagri No. 73/2022, the Population Administration Law, the 1945 Constitution, and international regulations related to population and citizenship. The findings indicate that birth certificates reflect the state's responsibility to provide citizens with rights, including the right to identity. However, the sanction of not issuing a birth certificate due to regulatory non-compliance creates a disproportionate disparity in naming rights. Therefore, policy revision is necessary to optimize legal protection, making the system more equitable and in line with legal norms.
