Abstract

This research addresses the critical necessity of reassessing minimum wage policies with a spotlight on their effects on workers’ justice and welfare. Through the examination of existing policy trends and frameworks for setting wages, the study aims to advocate for a more equitable wage formula that strengthens the government’s role in safeguarding worker interests while ensuring business sustainability. A significant aspect of this investigation is the recent change in wage-setting authority brought about by Government Regulation No. 51 of 2023, which shifts wage-setting power back to a centralized position. Current legal wage policies are not benefiting workers sufficiently, calling for a comprehensive review to design a fair and effective wage framework. The results indicate that with the aim of fairness, the existing minimum wage structure does not guarantee adequate welfare for workers. The study also points out the constrained flexibility of the “alpha” parameter, limiting the wage negotiations between employers and unions to a narrow range of 0.1-0.3. By shedding light on the shortcomings of this policy, this research emphasizes the urgent need for a revised wage formula that genuinely reflects workers’ welfare, representing a shift towards reconciling economic goals with social equity within formal wage policies. An equitable wage should align with the value of the work performed, factoring in difficulty levels, responsibilities, and required skills, while not being below the regional minimum wage.

Abstract

As Indonesia adopts Islamic law, civil law, and customary law in its legal system, it is suspected that some serious issues emerge in its implementation. One of them is gender inequality issue in its inheritance law. While the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has been ratified by the country, discriminatory practices persist as a result of patriarchal interpretations of the law and dominant patrilineal customs. This study aims to analyze gender inequality in inheritance distribution by examining how legal systems in Indonesia align with or diverge from the international human rights norms, particularly CEDAW. Using a normative legal method and comparative approach, this study looked into the legal structure, substance, and culture of inheritance legal systems in predominantly Muslim countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, and Indonesia based on Lawrence Friedman’s legal system theory. The results showed that Indonesia’s civil law had a tendency to conform to the international gender equality norms. However, the Islamic and customary inheritance practices in the country were still strongly influenced by patriarchal values. In comparison, some of the other countries studied in this research demonstrated greater flexibility in aligning their Islamic inheritance laws with the gender justice principles. These findings underscored the urgent need for Indonesia to develop context-sensitive legal reform strategies that include progressive ijtihad, transformation of patriarchal customs, and synchronization of the national inheritance law with the international human rights standards.

Abstract

Transportation plays a vital role in national development and public welfare. However, regulating ride-hailing in Indonesia encounters significant challenges, particularly regarding legal certainty and fairness. This study investigates the complexity of legal uncertainty and inequality within the partnership framework of ride-hailing services. Using a normative legal approach comprising legislative, conceptual, and comparative methods, the study finds that overlapping laws, lack of uniform operational standards, and inconsistent law enforcement create legal ambiguity. Moreover, it identifies systemic inequalities in the ride-hailing partnership model, where drivers are in a structurally weaker position than platform companies. These imbalances are inadequately addressed under the current Civil Code, resulting in unfair fare systems, insufficient driver protection, and unequal licensing practices. The main findings indicate the need for clear and cohesive legal instruments that ensure equal legal standing for all stakeholders. The study contributes to legal scholarship by proposing a revised partnership model rooted in legal certainty and social justice principles. It recommends regulatory harmonization, restructuring the partnership framework to reflect equitable legal positions, and implementing responsive legal standards. These steps are essential for developing a fair, sustainable, and inclusive transportation ecosystem in Indonesia.
The Dilemma of Administrative Sanctions in Legalizing Palm Oil Plantations in Indonesian Forest Areas Maskun, Maskun; Violetta, Kiky Venna; Mukhlis, Muhammad Mutawalli; Normiati, Normiati; Tajuddin, Muhammad Saleh

Abstract

Indonesia’s shift from criminal to administrative sanctions in addressing illegal use of forest areas—stipulated under Articles 110A and 110B of Law No. 6 of 2023—aims to legalize approximately 3.3 million hectares of unlicensed oil palm plantations. This study evaluates the effectiveness of administrative sanctions in promoting legal compliance and environmental accountability. Employing a normative legal research method with a descriptive qualitative approach, the study examines statutory frameworks, case studies, and empirical data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF). Findings reveal that while administrative sanctions offer expedited enforcement and reduce judicial burdens, they risk becoming legal loopholes exploited by corporations. The limited number of sanctioned companies—only 49—and the total fines of IDR 175.5 billion are disproportionately low relative to the scale of ecological damage. Nevertheless, the research highlights the potential of a hybrid enforcement model—integrating administrative, criminal, and civil legal instruments—to enhance compliance and ecological justice. It underscores the urgency of robust oversight and the application of criminal sanctions in severe cases to uphold the constitutional right to a healthy environment.
Recomposing the Handover and Return to Parents in the Juvenile Justice System in Indonesia: Dilemma between Best Interest of the Juvenile and Legal Shadow Wahyudi, Setya; Hendriana, Rani; Oktobrian, Dwiki; Nunna, Bhanu Prakash

Abstract

The Indonesian Juvenile Justice System, established by Law No. 11 of 2012, focused on restorative justice and diversion strategies. However, two distinct aspects—handover and return to parents—do not possess sufficient supervisory measures, which raises doubts about their effectiveness in reducing recidivism and serving justice for victims. This article analyzes the legal framework and practical application of these elements using both normative and empirical methods, including interviews conducted with probation officers at the Purwokerto Correctional Center. The results indicate that although both approaches strive to safeguard the psychological health of child offenders, they lack enforceable responsibilities for parents or active community oversight. This results in a notable legal gap at the implementation level. The study suggests a redesign that combines the oversight of probation officers with community involvement to ensure observable behavioral improvements and accountability. This model aims to harmonize the principles of restorative justice with societal demands for fair justice and consideration for victims. The novelty of this article lies in providing a comprehensive institutional framework for post-diversion supervision, which has been mostly overlooked in earlier research.

Abstract

This study offers a critical analysis of the legal framework and policy measures aimed at protecting children from Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Despite the ratification of international agreement and the enactment of domestic laws, such as Law No. 35 of 2014, the enforcement of these laws is inconsistent. This inconsistency is attributed to legal ambiguities, limited institutional capacities, and cultural attitudes that normalize exploitation. Employing a socio-legal approach, this research integrates legal analyses with field interviews to investigate the causes, manifestations, and legal management of CSEC. The findings reveal systemic shortcomings, such as the absence of specific criminalization for child prostitution and trafficking in the Criminal Code, ineffective implementation of regional regulations, and poor collaboration among law enforcement agencies, NGOs, and government entities. CSEC continues to be a pervasive issue, with victims often misidentified as offenders. The study advocates for legal harmonization with international standards, enhanced institutional collaboration, heightened public awareness, and community-based monitoring initiatives. It stresses the urgent need for child-rights-centric legal reforms to tackle the socio-cultural factors driving exploitation and to strengthen the protective role of both the state and society.

Abstract

The licensing of minerals and coal in Indonesia faces significant challenges, particularly concerning legal certainty and fair intergovernmental relationships. This research delves into the legal uncertainties emerging from the central-regional framework defined by Article 18 of the 1945 Constitution and Law No. 23/2014 on Regional Government. It also examines sectoral regulations as laid out in Law No. 4/2009, amended by Law No. 3/2020 and Law No. 2/2025, and Government Regulation No. 25/2024. Through a normative legal methodology that includes legislative, conceptual, and comparative analyses, the study highlights issues such as: overlapping mandates between laws, unclear operational boundaries between Law No. 23/2014 and post-2020 mining regulations, and inconsistencies in enforcement practices. A significant conclusion of the research emphasizes the constitutional authority given to Regional Governments to regulate and oversee mining operations within their areas. However, the implementation Law No. 2 may unintentionally undermine regional autonomy and modify the crucial role of Regional Governments as primary regulators in the mining sector. Additionally, the assignment of authority to mass organizations and universities in mining management in mining raises serious questions regarding legal hierarchy and compliance with constitutional mandates, potentially conflicting with their official roles and purposes.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the rules governing that can bring a legal case to the Constitutional Court often unclear and unevenly applied. This creates challenges for individuals and communities trying to protect their constitutional rights. In this article, we take a critical look at these obstacles by examining the Court’s past decisions. We show how the current legal framework overlooks issues of collective harm and structural inequalities, particularly affecting marginalized groups. To better understand these issues, we compare Indonesia’s approach to those of India, South Africa, and the United States, seeking out more inclusive models of judicial decision-making. Our findings show that Indonesia’s focus on specific interpretations of direct and personal harm limits the judiciary’s ability to meet its constitutional responsibilities. The paper draws on insights from other countries as well as Indonesia’s own legal traditions, such as adat (customary law) and musyawarah (deliberation), to propose a more inclusive and culturally sensitive approach to legal standing. We recommend several specific reforms, including rethinking existing laws, creating clearer judicial guidelines, and providing targeted judicial training for judges to improve access to constitutional justice for everyone.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the 1945 Constitution mandates the establishment of health social security. Similarly, Section 15 of Article II of the Philippines’ 1987 Constitution asserts that the state has a duty to protect and promote the right to health for its citizens. Bangladesh’s Constitution, while not explicit, recognizes healthcare as a fundamental human right under Articles 15 (which addresses the provision of basic necessities) and 18 (which pertains to public health). Through a classic socio-dogmatic research method—a type of normative legal research—this study interprets how these constitutional provisions are implemented in practice. While Indonesia’s constitution clearloy requires the state to ensure health security, the government often falls short, lacking sufficient financial supports. In the Philippines, health security initiatives are gradually expanding but also suffer from inadequate funding. In contrast, Bangladesh has not prioritized health security, focusing instead on food security without emphasizing health as a state responsibility. Applying Rodriguez-Blanco’s theory reveals that Indonesia’s approach to social security leans towards an insurance model due to its reluctance to allocate adequate funds. In the Philippines, there is progress, albeit slow and underfund, while Bangladesh’s lack of health security development stems from its prioritization of basic food needs over health provisions.
The Challenges of Using the Omnibus Law Method in Indonesia’s Legal System Widayati, Widayati; Winanto, Winanto; Laksana, Andri Winjaya; Huda, Moh. Nurul; Fareha, Nur

Abstract

The introduction of the Omnibus Law with Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation marked a significant change in Indonesia’s approach to legislation, as this method was previously unfamiliar in the country. Consequently, the law faced legal challenges and was brought before the Constitutional Court (MK) for review. The Court ruled that the legislative process was flawed, highlighting a lack of public involvement and transparency, and found that the omnibus law method did not have a solid legal foundation within Indonesia’s existing legal framework. In response to these concerns, the House of Representatives and the President passed Law Number 13 of 2022, which included guidelines for using the omnibus law method in future legislation. This method is widely used in common law countries, while Indonesia operates under a civil law system rooted in democratic principles. This study focused on examining implications of the omnibus law method through a normative juridical approach, utilizing secondary data and qualitative analysis. The findings show that while this method can streamline the drafting and discussion of laws—saving time and effort—it also has significant downsides. This include a tendency to prioritize practicality over thorough research and limited public engagement, which undermines its democratic nature. Therefore, if Indonesia chooses to continue using the omnibus law method, it is crucial to address these limitations. Specifically, there must be genuine opportunities for public participation that go beyond just empty formalities. Careful and accurate implementation is needed to ensure that the resulting legislation is effective, high quality, and ultimately regarded as beneficial by the community.
