Abstract

Resolving customary land disputes through mediation is a relevant approach in the context of Indonesian people who have a diversity of customs and cultures. This article aims to analyze the mediation mechanism as an alternative to resolving customary land disputes within the framework of Indonesian positivist law. This study uses normative juridical methods and empirical approaches with literature and literature studies. The results of the analysis show that mediation as part of the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) system has been regulated in various laws and regulations in Indonesia, including Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016 concerning Mediation procedures in Court. In the context of customary land, mediation allows the integration of customary law values with positive law, resulting in a more accommodating and fair solution for the parties to the dispute. However, the implementation of mediation at the practical level often faces obstacles, such as differences in the interpretation of customary law and lack of understanding of mediation by the parties. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of mediators, clearer recognition of customary law and the national legal system, as well as harmonization between customary law and positive law to increase the effectiveness of resolving customary land disputes through mediation.

Abstract

This study examines legal protection for consumers against overclaim practices in skincare product ingredients. This phenomenon is widespread in e-commerce, where consumers are often influenced by trends and fail to thoroughly examine product quality. Overclaim practices, such as listing an active ingredient percentage that does not match the actual content, have harmed consumers both financially and health-wise. This research employs a normative method with a legislative and conceptual approach, referring to Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection and relevant BPOM (Indonesian Food and Drug Authority) regulations. The findings indicate that consumer protection encompasses fundamental rights, including accurate information and compensation for damages. Preventive measures include regulations, BPOM supervision, consumer education, and the role of institutions such as BPSK (Consumer Dispute Resolution Agency) and BPKN (National Consumer Protection Agency). Meanwhile, repressive efforts involve dispute resolution through litigation and non-litigation channels. This study highlights gaps in the effectiveness of regulations and oversight of overclaims, as well as the need for practical solutions, including more extensive consumer education.

Abstract

Blockchain technology has brought significant transformations across various industrial sectors due to its transparent, secure, and efficient characteristics. However, its decentralized, transparent, and immutable nature poses legal challenges, particularly concerning personal data protection and ethical use. In Indonesia, the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) serve as the primary legal frameworks regulating personal data protection. One major issue is the potential conflict between the permanent nature of blockchain and the right to data erasure as stipulated in the UU PDP. Additionally, ethical challenges such as privacy violations, unequal access to technology, and environmental impacts are critical issues that need to be addressed. Dispute resolution in blockchain transactions also faces unique complexities due to blockchain's immutable nature, requiring innovative approaches such as blockchain-based arbitration and smart contract arrangements. Therefore, a specific legal framework and mechanisms are needed to support the safe and responsible development of blockchain while respecting legal principles, ethics, and data protection. Collaboration among governments, businesses, and technology developers is essential to ensure that blockchain can be implemented inclusively and sustainably.

Abstract

The Batak Toba customary law adheres to a patrilineal inheritance system, where male children are the primary heirs of family assets, while female children only receive symbolic portions in the form of gifts or jambar. This study aims to examine the legal protection for female children in inheritance distribution in Janjiraja Village, Samosir Regency, focusing on customary practices and gender equality. The research uses a juridical-sociological method, combining legal analysis with observations of the implementation of customs in the community. The findings show that although there are protective mechanisms such as parjambar and family discussions, their implementation is hindered by the patrilineal culture, lack of understanding of national law, and social pressures from the customary environment. However, there is a shift in attitudes among the younger generation, who are more supportive of gender equality, influenced by education, urbanization, and national legal frameworks. This study concludes that legal protection for female children in Batak Toba inheritance requires an approach that combines customary values with gender equality principles, leading to a more equitable distribution of family inheritance.

Abstract

Womb rental is a method of obtaining offspring by using another woman's womb to contain an embryo derived from the egg and sperm of a married couple. After the child is born, it will be handed back to the married couple who owns the embryo. The implementation of uterine leasing is prohibited in Indonesia because it is contrary to applicabl’e laws and regu’lations and contrary to religious norms. This st’udy aims to determine the legal status of children born through uterine leasing based on positive law in In’donesia. This researc’h uses norm’ative legal resea’rch. Based on the res’ults of the stu’dy, if the st’atus of the surro’gate mother is a g’irl or widow, th’en the child is an unmarried ch’ild, where children born out’side of marria’ge only have a ci’vil relation’ship with their moth’er and th’eir mother's fam’ily. If the s’tatus of the surr’ogate mother is bou’nd by a legal marriag’e (has a husb’and), then the ch’ild born is the legiti’mate child of the su’rrogate mother and her hu’sband.

Abstract

This research examines the compatibility of Indonesia’s marriage laws with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), emphasizing issues of equality, freedom, and non-discrimination. Article 16 of the UDHR guarantees the universal right to marry based on free and full consent, without discrimination. However, Indonesia’s legal framework, particularly the 1974 Marriage Law, reflects the nation's dualist legal approach and its emphasis on particularity, whereby international human rights norms are selectively integrated into domestic law based on cultural and religious contexts. These restrictions include barriers to interfaith marriages, exclusion of non-religious individuals, and gender inequalities perpetuated by provisions such as polygamy. While the law preserves Indonesia’s cultural and religious diversity, it often conflicts with international human rights standards, highlighting tensions between universal norms and local practices. The study employs a juridical normative approach, analyzing legal instruments, court decisions, and international treaties to evaluate Indonesia's partial alignment with UDHR principles. Findings reveal systemic gaps, including discriminatory legal barriers for interfaith couples and women, inconsistent application of administrative provisions for marriage registration, and cultural practices like child marriages that undermine equality and autonomy. The research underscores the need for comprehensive reforms to harmonize Indonesia’s marriage laws with UDHR standards.
