Abstract

This study examines the status of the finality of acquittals (vrijspraak) after the enactment of Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code, with a case study of the case of Defendant Amsal Christy Sitepu. Using normative legal research methods, the results of the study indicate that this new regulation absolutely closes the space for filing an appeal against the acquittal through Article 299 paragraph (2) letter a. Regarding the ambiguity of the appeal legal remedy, a systematic interpretation of Article 244 in conjunction with Article 299 confirms that the acquittal is designed to be effective and final immediately after it is pronounced. The decision in the a quo case confirms the essence of the court as a bastion of human rights protection, guarantees legal certainty, and prevents the practice of over-criminalization from prosecutions with weak evidence. In conclusion, the transition to the 2025 Criminal Procedure Code represents a paradigm shift in the national criminal justice system towards a model centered on the protection of rights (due process-oriented).

Abstract

Mortgage execution auctions constitute a cornerstone of Indonesia’s banking credit security system, yet judicial practice reveals a structure paradox between regulations protecting bona fide purchasers and supreme Court decisions that nullify lawfully conducted auctions. This study aimed to analyse the normative legal protection framework, identify the factors underlying the paradox, and formulate a regulatory reconstruction. This study using prescriptive analytical normative legal research with statute, case and conceptual approaches, it examines Supreme Court ruling between 2018 to 2025 through theories of legal certainty, protections and rechtsvinding. The findings expose four interlocking causes of the paradox and recommend elevating auctions finality to statutory ranks, issuing a substantive PERMA, and integrating inter-institutional single system and enforcing judicial restraint to secure consistency between legal norms and judicial practice.

Abstract

The global energy transition has increased demand for transition minerals, particularly nickel, as a strategic component in electric vehicle battery production and low-carbon energy systems. Indonesia has positioned itself as a global nickel hub through downstream industrialization policies and the development of the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP). However, the rapid expansion of the nickel industry in Morowali has also triggered environmental degradation, agrarian conflict, and indigenous land dispossession. This study aims to analyze the relationship between green extractivism, spatial planning, agrarian conflict, and indigenous land rights within the Morowali nickel industrial corridor. The research employs a socio-legal approach with a political ecology perspective using qualitative analysis. Data were collected from spatial planning documents, mining regulations, scientific journals, media reports, and publicly available interviews involving indigenous communities, academics, and government institutions. The findings indicate that nickel industrial expansion has produced spatial injustice through land-use change, mining concession expansion, and industrial zoning that marginalize indigenous communities and local living spaces. Spatial planning instruments function not as neutral governance tools but as mechanisms legitimizing green extractivism and land dispossession. This study contributes to spatial planning law by integrating environmental justice, political ecology, and socio-legal studies in understanding the spatial crisis within Indonesia’s transition mineral industry.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the existence of the highest state institutions and high state institutions in the context of governance in Indonesia. This study uses a literature review method by analyzing journal articles relevant to the research topic. The results indicate that the highest state institutions and high state institutions have played a significant role in Indonesian political history, but also have weaknesses and shortcomings. The change in the status of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) from the highest state institution to a legislative body equal to the House of Representatives (DPR) has created uncertainty regarding its role and function. This study recommends the need for improvements and capacity building of legislative institutions to enhance the quality of democracy and governance.

Abstract

The rapid development of the e-sport industry in Indonesia has given rise to a new phenomenon involving underage athletes in contractual relationships with professional e-sport organizations. This study examines the legal protection afforded to underage e-sport athletes under Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower as amended by Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation, while also analyzing the legal consequences arising from the placement of underage athletes within e-sport organizations, particularly the provisions of Articles 68–74 which prohibit the employment of children in heavy, hazardous, or work exceeding the minimum age limit. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by library research encompassing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings reveal significant normative gaps in Indonesian labor regulations, wherein existing provisions have not comprehensively accommodated the distinctive characteristics of the e-sport industry as a digital economic sector. Employment contracts applied within the e-sport industry frequently fail to satisfy the legal capacity requirements prescribed under civil law and have not adequately guaranteed the fundamental rights of child athletes, including limitations on working hours, the right to education, and social security entitlements. This study recommends the establishment of specific regulations that are responsive to the dynamics of the e-sport industry in order to achieve legal certainty and comprehensive protection for child athletes as vulnerable legal subjects.
