Abstract

The communal culture of traditional societies fundamentally contrasts with the individualistic framework of intellectual property rights (IPR). Indigenous communities prioritize collective interests without negating individual rights. This study aims to examine and analyze the optimization of traditional knowledge protection as an effort to improve the welfare of communal societies. The research employs a normative juridical method by reviewing statutory regulations and related legal instruments. The findings reveal that communal intellectual property is recognized under both international and national legal frameworks. National regulations require each region to conduct an inventory of community intellectual property; however, public awareness of its importance remains limited. Therefore, renewed strategies are needed to ensure that communities fully understand the economic, social, and cultural value of their traditional knowledge. Local governments play a crucial role in disseminating information and implementing inventory programs through regional regulations. Furthermore, the development of traditional knowledge–based products can be advanced to the industrialization stage through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), thereby supporting the welfare of indigenous peoples. The ideal model of local government intellectual property protection is to guarantee community ownership rights while ensuring a fair profit-sharing mechanism with third parties.

Abstract

Research on the zakat (charitable giving) related to marine products in Indonesia is currently limited. Given the vast economic potential of these resources, the existing regulations have not adequately kept pace with developments in the marine sector. This study aims to examine the legal framework governing zakat on marine products in Indonesia, pinpoint weaknesses in the current laws, and suggest reforms to create a more equitable and functional zakat system. Using a normative juridical approach, the research primarily focuses on the statutory basis for necessary legal changes. The findings reveal that the existing regulations regarding zakat are encapsulated in Law No. 23 of 2011 on Zakat. A significant flaw identified in this law lies in Article 4, Paragraph (2), which fails to specifically recognize certain marine products as zakat objects. Notably, products such as coral reefs, salt, pearls, seaweed, and revenue from marine tourism are not listed among zakat maal (zakat on assets). To address this shortcoming, it is essential to amend the law by adding to Article 4, paragraph (2) the phrase "Other marine products that have high economic value, including but not limited to pearl shells, marine biota for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, lobsters, mangrove crabs, seaweed, and other marine resources." This amendment is crucial to eliminate legal ambiguities, ensuring there are clear regulations and categorizing marine products as eligible for zakat.
Reassessing the Expiatory Sacrifice for Hajj Tamattuʿ in Indonesia: A Qur’anic Exegesis and Socio-Legal Perspective on Contemporary Practices Aswadi, Aswadi; Yusuf, M.; Jannah, Raudlotul; Tawwabuddin, Tawwabuddin; Ezzerouali, Souad

Abstract

Scholarly discourse on the permissibility and governance of expiatory sacrifice (dām) for ḥajj tamattuʿ in Indonesia continues amid rapidly evolving social and regulatory contexts. Existing studies are largely dominated by normative fiqh arguments and administrative policy considerations, while integrated analyses combining contextual Qur’anic exegesis, socio-legal perspectives, and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah remain limited. Addressing this gap, this study critically reassesses the coherence between Qur’anic norms, evolving interpretive frameworks, and contemporary policy implementation concerning dām for ḥajj tamattuʿ. This study employs a qualitative, library-based approach by analyzing key Qur’anic verses on ḥajj tamattuʿ through Abdullah Saeed’s contextualist interpretive framework and evaluating them using maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as a tool of critical legal reasoning. The normative findings are then examined in relation to socio-legal realities, including fatwas, state regulations, and institutional practices governing ḥajj administration in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. The findings indicate that the obligation of dām for ḥajj tamattuʿ is not intrinsically confined to the Haram area but is context-dependent in terms of location, timing, and distribution, provided that its core spiritual objectives and public welfare considerations are fulfilled. Consequently, this study argues that cross-border regulatory coordination constitutes a normative implication of the dynamic relationship between Qur’anic injunctions, ritual practice, and contemporary ḥajj governance.

Abstract

Human trafficking is a complex, transnational crime intrinsically linked to human rights violations, requiring a holistic legal response at both international and domestic levels. The Palermo Protocol has served as an essential international legal instrument; yet, it continues to face numerous problems. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of the Palermo Protocol as an international legislative instrument for the prevention and eradication of human trafficking by analyzing its implementation in Indonesia and the Philippines. The research methodology utilized is normative juridical, integrating legislative, conceptual, and comparative legal frameworks. The results indicate that the Palermo Protocol is relatively effective in promoting legal harmonization and establishing institutional frameworks in ratifying nations; yet, it has not completely bridged the gap between international standards and their practical implementation. In Indonesia, fragmented authority, the limited competence of law enforcement officials, and an inadequate integrated data system present substantial obstacles to victim identification and protection. The Philippines, on the other hand, has a more cohesive legal and institutional framework that makes it easier to adopt international norms. However, it still struggles to do so because it relies on external resources and faces structural problems such as poverty, labor migration, and gender inequality. This study finds that the Palermo Protocol works well as a global standard, but it hasn't done much to lower the number of people who are trafficked. Consequently, improving the protocol's effectiveness requires evolving from a passive, normative framework into an active, accountable, victim-centered legal system harmonized with extensive socio-economic policies.

Abstract

The traditional criminal justice system, predominantly grounded in retributive and legalistic paradigms, has increasingly struggled to respond to contemporary social realities, including prison overcrowding, limited victim participation, procedural rigidity, and declining public trust in legal institutions. In many jurisdictions, retributivism prioritizes punishment over social restoration, restorative justice mechanisms remain fragmented and marginal, and economic analysis of law (EAL) often emphasizes efficiency while overlooking normative legitimacy and participatory justice. Responding to these practical and conceptual limitations, this article proposes a new integrative framework Participatory Rational Justice (PRJ) which reconceptualizes criminal justice as a collaborative, community-engaged, and outcome-oriented process. Employing an interdisciplinary approach through theoretical analysis and comparative perspectives on criminal justice reforms, this study situates PRJ within existing reform practices that seek to balance efficiency, accountability, and social welfare. PRJ combines policy rationality, active stakeholder participation, resource efficiency, and social restoration to produce justice outcomes that extend beyond formal legality toward substantive societal benefits. By bridging procedural justice, economic legal reasoning, and capability-based substantive justice, PRJ offers a conceptually grounded yet practically relevant alternative for criminal justice reform. This study argues that adopting PRJ can enhance institutional legitimacy, optimize resource allocation, and foster a more inclusive legal culture, thereby contributing to the adaptive and sustainable development of contemporary criminal justice systems.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the legal recognition and status of the Minangkabau language as an indigenous language in Indonesia, particularly in West Sumatra. The research focuses on doctrinal legal analysis and draws on socio-legal and comparative legal approaches to national and regional legislation, including the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 23/2014, Perpres No. 63/2019, Permendikbudristek No. 13/2022, and regional regulations. The research results show that although regional languages are recognised in the Indonesian legal system, they remain symbolic. The preservation of regional languages has not been explicitly included in the national legal system. Specifically for the Minangkabau language, language preservation at the school level still relies on the local content Keminangkabauan, which focuses more on introducing Minangkabau culture. Several regions in West Sumatra also have enacted local regulations that mandate the inclusion of local content in the Minangkabau language and literature. However, since regional language preservation policies are not regulated by a higher constitutional system, their implementation is often hampered by budgetary and resource constraints. Model language policies in Canada, New Zealand and South Africa provide valuable guidance for articulating policy measures that facilitate rather than frustrate efforts to revitalise and preserve indigenous languages. The research argues that Indonesia must develop an accessible, action-oriented legal framework for public policy development (beyond symbolic recognition) to ensure that indigenous languages, including Minangkabau, are maintained and promoted through education, media, and public life. This study provides policy-oriented solutions to enhance linguistic justice and protect indigenous languages across countries.

Abstract

Zakat plays a strategic role in Islamic social finance as an instrument for poverty alleviation and social welfare; however, its contemporary distribution practices often remain concentrated on short-term charitable relief rather than long-term socio-economic empowerment, raising questions about its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 4 (Quality Education). This study aims to examine conceptually the alignment between zakat allocation and selected SDG targets and to develop a normative impact assessment framework grounded in sharia objectives that reorients zakat evaluation toward sustainable empowerment outcomes. Using a qualitative-descriptive method based on a systematic literature review, the study synthesizes classical Islamic jurisprudential principles with contemporary development and Islamic social finance scholarship to critically assess prevailing zakat governance models. The findings indicate that zakat institutions predominantly rely on output-based indicators—such as the volume of funds distributed and the number of beneficiaries—while insufficiently addressing outcome-based dimensions related to economic independence, educational advancement, and social empowerment. In response, the article proposes an SDGs-oriented, capability-based assessment framework structured around three interrelated dimensions: economic capability, educational capability, and social empowerment capability. The study recommends integrating long-term capability indicators into zakat governance, strengthening outcome-focused monitoring systems, and redesigning allocation strategies to prioritize sustainable human development, thereby repositioning zakat as a transformative mechanism consistent with both sharia objectives and global development objectives.

Abstract

Corruption in Indonesia’s extractive industry has generated significant state revenue losses, regulatory distortions, and environmental harm. A key legal issue arises from the concurrent use of the Anti-Corruption Law and the Mineral and Coal Mining Law in addressing offenses within the sector, raising questions regarding legal certainty and the proper application of the lex specialis principle. This study examines the legal justification for applying the Anti-Corruption Law to mining-related offenses, analyzes judicial reasoning in relevant court decisions, and formulates a framework for criminal policy reconstruction. This research employs a normative legal method, combining statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. It critically analyzes legislative frameworks alongside selected judicial decisions to identify patterns of interpretation and enforcement. The study further situates these findings within theories of lex specialis, legal certainty, and utilitarian deterrence. The results demonstrate that the application of the Anti-Corruption Law is often justified by courts based on broader notions of state financial loss and deterrence objectives. However, this approach has led to interpretative inconsistencies, particularly in distinguishing between administrative violations under mining law and criminal acts qualifying as corruption. Such inconsistencies reflect an unresolved tension between sector-specific regulation and general anti-corruption enforcement. This study argues that the core issue lies not merely in normative overlap, but in the absence of clear doctrinal boundaries and coherent judicial standards. Accordingly, it proposes regulatory harmonization, strengthened interpretative guidelines, and an integrated criminal policy framework that combines penal, administrative, and restorative mechanisms to promote legal certainty, accountability, and sustainable governance in Indonesia’s extractive industry

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed social interaction while simultaneously increasing women’s vulnerability to online gender-based violence, including revenge pornography, cyber harassment, and doxxing. Existing studies in cyberfeminism and digital legal scholarship demonstrate that digital spaces often reproduce patriarchal structures and discriminatory practices against women. Meanwhile, contemporary Islamic legal studies indicate that maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah possesses conceptual flexibility to respond to emerging socio-technological issues; however, these perspectives are rarely integrated systematically within the discourse of Islamic Criminal Law (fiqh al-jināyah). This study aims to reinterpret fiqh al-jināyah through the frameworks of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and cyberfeminism in order to construct a more inclusive and adaptive legal paradigm for protecting women’s rights in the digital era. Employing a normative juridical method, this research analyzes primary Islamic legal sources, classical fiqh literature, fatāwā, and Indonesian statutory regulations, including the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE), the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP), and the Sexual Violence Crime Law (UU TPKS). The study also incorporates contemporary literature on cyberfeminism, digital violence, and gender justice. The findings reveal that the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ (protection of dignity) and ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life), provide a strong normative foundation for categorizing digital gender-based violence as jarīmah ta‘zīr requiring adaptive sanctions. Furthermore, cyberfeminism contributes a transformative epistemological approach by repositioning women as active agents in legal interpretation and reform. This study ultimately contributes to the reconstruction of Islamic criminal jurisprudence that is gender-sensitive, contextually responsive, and aligned with the realities of contemporary digital society.
