Abstract

Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) is an International legal standard that guarantees indigenous peoples' right to consent to projects affecting their territories and lives. Indonesia has not explicitly adopted this principle in its national legal system, so the management of customary forest areas. The absence of clear FPIC regulations creates legal loopholes impacting the legitimacy of business licenses and the protection of indigenous peoples' rights, which can lead to human rights violations. This study aims to analyze how FPIC is regulated and implemented in Indonesian national law, as well as assess the legal consequences of noncompliance in the context of customary forest management. Using normative legal research methods and statutory and conceptual approaches, the study concludes that disregarding FPIC not only goes against the spirit of the constitution and international commitments but also contributes to social disintegration and unequal power relations between indigenous peoples and the state. Therefore, the principle of FPIC must be explicitly recognized in national laws and regulations, and participatory, fair, and legally binding implementation mechanisms must be established to realize inclusive and ecologically just development.

Abstract

This study explores the legal protection of members of the Merah Putih Cooperative in Indonesia, focusing on the risks of losses that could lead to bankruptcy. The research problem lies in the inconsistency between the social character of cooperatives and the bankruptcy legal framework. Using a doctrinal legal analysis of Law Number 25 of 1992 on Cooperatives and Law Number 37 of 2004 on Bankruptcy and PKPU, the study identifies a gap in the legal provisions regarding the status of cooperative members in the bankruptcy process. Specifically, cooperative members, who are both owners and service users, lack clear legal standing as creditors, which exposes them to the loss of savings and economic rights. The study also finds that the principles of kinship, justice, and shared responsibility in cooperatives are not adequately integrated with the formalistic and corporatist approach of bankruptcy law. The study concludes that reformulating legal policies is necessary to accommodate the unique characteristics of cooperatives within the bankruptcy legal system. This includes recognizing the legal status of members and developing deposit protection mechanisms, ensuring a more just and responsive legal framework for the people’s economy.

Abstract

This research examines the necessity of establishing village-based mediation institutions as a strategic approach to resolving civil disputes in Malang City. Utilizing a qualitative-descriptive method, this study incorporates in-depth interviews with urban village heads (lurah) throughout Malang to explore practical challenges and community needs in resolving conflicts. This research aims to formulate the concept of a civil dispute resolution model based on mediation and alternative dispute resolution, the role of the sub-district government, and the presence of the Sub-district Mediation Institution. Findings indicate a significant gap between formal court-based mediation and the socio-cultural dynamics at the grassroots level. Most lurah expressed the urgent need for a formalized, community-embedded mediation body to address everyday civil disputes more effectively and restore social harmony. The study highlights a model of mediation institution tailored to the urban village structure, proposing clear standard operating procedures, legal legitimacy, and training modules for community mediators. The study concludes that forming such institutions could enhance access to justice and reduce court caseloads while fostering a culture of peace and restorative justice at the local level.

Abstract

Indonesia ranks third in Southeast Asia in terms of the population consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs). The increasing consumption of such beverages has also contributed to a rise in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily sugar intake limit of 50 grams, equivalent to four tablespoons, which has been adopted by Indonesia Ministry of Health. Business actors are required to comply with obligations set out in the Consumer Protection Law. However, nutritional labels are often difficult for consumers to understand, creating an urgency to regulate simpler and more accessible labeling formats. One such simplified format is the Front of Pack Nutrition Labeling (FoPNL). Singapore has regulated and implemented FoPNL on packed products through the Nutri Grade labeling system. In Indonesia, one retail supermarket has started to apply FoPNL system Nutri Grade on sugar sweetened beverage products. There have also been efforts to impose taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages as a strategy to reduce consumption. This research employs a normative juridical method, relying on statutory regulations and their derivatives, as well as literature from books, journal and printed media. The findings indicate that the implementation of Nutri Grade labeling by retailer businesses serves as a form of legal protection to customers.

Abstract

PBB-P2 is a type of tax that can be adjusted or changed based on rates set by the regional government based on the number of local residents (PAD) domiciled in an area. Land and Building Tax (PBB) is one of the most important components in the Indonesian tax system. This research applies normative juridical (doctrinal legal research), which focuses on the analysis of positive legal norms and relevant data from Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2), as well as its implications for regional tax and revenue needs. The essence of this research is that regional governments are constitutionally authorized to determine PBB-P2 fines as part of their fiscal autonomy based on Law No. 28 of 2009 concerning Regional Taxes and Regional Levies, but this authority is not absolute, but rather delegative and in the application of PBB-P2 fines in the community must fulfill various principles, namely the principles of legality, proportionality, and non-discrimination, to ensure that the implementation of fines is not just a legal formality in the relationship between the state and citizens so that taxes are not only an instrument of regional income, but also an instrument of justice/equality to legal certainty in a democratic state of law.

Abstract

This study examines the normative conflict between statutory authority and administrative discretion in the establishment of Merah Putih Cooperatives under Indonesia’s 2025 national cooperative revitalization program. While the Law on the Notarial Office grants notaries general authority to prepare authentic deeds, administrative regulations require a specific designation as Cooperative Deed Officials (NPAK), creating legal uncertainty in practice. Unlike previous studies that focused on general cooperatives and the procedural role of NPAK, this research is the first to analyze the legal bottlenecks generated by state-driven digital transformation through the SABH/AHU Online system within the Merah Putih initiative. Using a normative juridical approach, this study evaluates the civil, administrative, and ethical consequences of deeds prepared by non-NPAK notaries. The findings demonstrate that although such deeds remain civilly valid, administrative rejection may prevent cooperatives from obtaining legal entity status, resulting in significant socio-economic losses at the village level. The findings reveal that digital administrative filtering has transformed ministerial discretion into de facto statutory limitation, generating legal uncertainty, delaying village economic programs, and causing measurable financial losses at the local level. This study proposes regulatory harmonization to restore statutory authority while maintaining administrative oversight. The policy implication emphasizes the need to prevent digital governance mechanisms from undermining hierarchical legal certainty in Indonesia’s cooperative development framework. This research offers policy recommendations for harmonizing statutory and administrative norms to ensure legal certainty, professional integrity, and the effective implementation of Indonesia’s cooperative reform agenda.
