Abstract

Sexual violence by doctors is a serious violation of human rights that can have profound psychological and social impacts on victims. Based on Law Number 29 of 2004 concerning Medical Practice, doctors should carry out their profession under applicable medical standards and codes of ethics. Article 51 regulates the obligation of doctors to provide medical services under standards, while Article 79 provides criminal sanctions for doctors who deliberately do not fulfill their administrative and professional commitments. This study uses a normative juridical approach to analyze the legal provisions that protect victims of sexual violence in medical practice, focusing on Article 51 and Article 79 of the Medical Practice Law. The primary sources of data are laws and regulations and related legal literature. The study results show that the effectiveness of legal protection depends on consistent implementation and enforcement of the law and synergy between the law and medical professional institutions. In addition, preventive aspects such as ethical education and transparent oversight mechanisms in medical institutions are essential. Psychological and social assistance for victims is also an integral part of the protection system. With a holistic approach involving the law, professional ethics, and victim protection, it is hoped that it can create a safe and dignified health environment. Evaluation and development of legal policies and professional ethics are needed to strengthen legal protection for victims of sexual violence in medical practice in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study discusses Tokopedia's legal responsibility to consumers for the non-conformity of electronic goods in the online trading system. Although regulations regarding consumer protection have been established, there are still losses incurred from e-commerce platforms that do not provide legal accountability in accordance with the laws and regulations. Consumers often experience losses due to products received that do not match the product descriptions made by businesses on Tokopedia. Although there are regulations governing consumer protection, such as Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection and Law No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE Law), many consumers still suffer losses due to the inadequate supervision and dispute resolution systems provided by the platform. This study employs a normative legal method with a regulatory approach and a conceptual approach. The findings indicate that Tokopedia bears civil, administrative, and in certain circumstances criminal legal liability, and that consumers have the right to pursue legal action both through litigation and non-litigation means. An evaluation and reformulation of the system are needed to strengthen consumers' position within the e-commerce ecosystem.

Abstract

The handling of general criminal cases with a sentence of less than five years, provided they are not repeat offenses, is increasingly being directed toward a diversion mechanism based on the principles of restorative justice. This approach aims to restore relationships between the offender, the victim, and the community through dialogue and mediation, rather than focusing on punishment. Restorative justice emphasizes the offender’s responsibility toward the victim and the community, with the primary goal of fostering social harmony and avoiding the negative impacts of conventional sentencing. In Indonesia, restorative justice has been recognized in various regulations, such as Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System and Supreme Court Regulation Number 4 of 2014, which highlights the importance of diversion as a means of resolving criminal cases outside of court proceedings. Additionally, Prosecutor’s Decree Number 15 of 2020 allows for the discontinuation of prosecution in minor cases under certain conditions. The concept of restorative justice, introduced by Albert Eglash in 1977, distinguishes three forms of justice: retributive, distributive, and restorative. This principle of restoration has long been recognized in various legal traditions, including in Indonesia, where customary law (living law) plays a significant role. By prioritizing mediation and restitution, restorative justice offers a new paradigm in the criminal justice system—one that is more humane and focused on social recovery.

The development of the global economy makes consumers have many choices, because the food offered is increasingly diverse and varied. This is also caused by consumers who pay less attention to their rights and lack of awareness as consumers. Meanwhile, consumer protection is a matter of interest for humans, therefore consumer protection is the hope for this nation tobe able to realize the relationship between business actors and consumers who have a mutually beneficial and not detrimental relationship. This research aims to determine and analyze the protection of consumers for products that do not include an expiration date. This research uses normative juridical research methods which are methods carried out through library research or examining the main data, namely secondary data. Legal protection for consumers against nopia products that do not include expiration dates is regulated in Articles 4 and 29 of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, where consumer rights must be implemented by business actors with the right to obtain information, the right to security, and the right to safety after consuming the product.

Abstract

The Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste as a modern state is governed by its Constitution, which was drawn up by the Constituent Assembly in 2001 with the presence and fundamental support of the United Nations Transitional Administration in Timor-Leste – UNTAET (United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor), under the leadership of the late Sergio Viera de Melo. This means that Timor-Leste, as a logical consequence, was founded on the foundations of the Western Roman-Germanic legal doctrine and especially of Portugal. We can clearly see that the Constitution of Timor-Leste integrates the basic and important foundations of the modern rule of law where the supremacy of positive state rights prevails: The Constitution and other state legal norms, respect for human rights, democratic culture, the principle of separation of powers, political, social, religious pluralism and the determination to fight any tyranny,  dictatorship and at the same time the Constitution of Timor-Leste also seeks to resepitate cultural pluralism, the customary right existing within the society of Timor-Leste to create a just and prosperous state for all citizens. That is why we can safely say that the Constitution of Timor-Leste as a fundamental law of the state seeks to guarantee that Timor-Leste, on the one hand, as a modern state of law based on Western legal standards and on the other hand, the Constitution itself seeks to value and respect the use of customary law that is still in use to regularize the life of the people within the society of Timor-Leste.

Abstract

This writing aims to delve into the legal responsibility in breach of contract disputes. Breach of contract refers to the inability of an individual or a party to fulfill obligations based on a prior agreement. In a breach of contract case, legal responsibility is an obligation imposed on a party as a form of accountability for the violation committed. This study also focuses on the basis of assessment used by law enforcers, namely the panel of judges, in deciding a breach of contract dispute involving the Department of Trade, which failed to fulfill its obligations to a contract worker in the construction of the Dakopamean Public Market, based on Decision Number 7/Pdt.G/2022/PN Tli, and the form of legal responsibility of the Department of Trade for the breach of contract in the construction project of the Dakopamean Public Market. This writing also emphasizes a normative legal research method of a descriptive nature, in which the results of the study will further examine the judges’ considerations in deciding a case, particularly in breach of contract matters.
