Indonesia Law Review (ILREV) is an open access, double-blind peer-reviewed law journal. It was first published by the Djokosoetono Research Center (DRC) in 2011 to address the lack of scholarly literatures on Indonesian law accessible in English for an international audience. ILREV focuses on recent developments of legal scholarship, covering legal reform and development, contemporary societal issues, as well as institutional change in Indonesia. Realizing the global challenges and ever-increasing legal interaction among developing countries, ILREV also welcomes articles on legal development in the ASEAN region and the larger Global South. By that token, it aims to provide a platform for academic dialogue and exchanges of ideas between scholars and professionals, especially from the Global South. As such, ILREV encourages comparative, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and other approaches to law which can enrich the development of legal scholarship not only in Indonesia but also the Global South as a whole.

Abstract

This article examines the internal and external factors that influence foreign direct investment (FDI) in Indonesia, focusing specifically on the legal framework as a key determinant. Internal factors—also referred to as pull factors—include the quality of Indonesia’s Foreign Investment Law, legal certainty, bureaucratic efficiency, and the availability of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives. Meanwhile, push factors represent external elements, such as the attractiveness of neighboring countries’ investment laws, regional economic integration, and global investment trends that encourage capital relocation. Using a normative juridical approach and qualitative analysis of secondary data, this study compares Indonesia’s regulatory environment with that of several Southeast Asian countries, particularly Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s legal infrastructure remains less agile and investor-oriented compared to these competitors. Regulatory complexity, inconsistent implementation, and a lack of legal predictability are identified as key weaknesses. To compete effectively and attract sustainable foreign investment, Indonesia must revamp its legal approach—prioritizing simplification, harmonization with international standards, and greater protection for investors. The article concludes that comprehensive legal reform is essential not only to enhance competitiveness but also to ensure that foreign investment contributes meaningfully to national development goals.

Abstract

Since the 21st century, as countries have increasingly engaged in international economic activities, the economic ties between nations and regions have grown progressively closer, and cross-border investments have surged. Consequently, investment disputes, which often accompany these investments, have emerged as a critical issue that cannot be overlooked by host governments and foreign investors. Currently, the predominant method for resolving investment disputes is through international arbitration. Therefore, the enforcement of investment arbitration awards has become a key indicator of the effectiveness of the dispute resolution mechanism. A significant area of concern and research is whether the New York Convention can be applied to investment arbitration awards. As signatories to the Convention, both Indonesia and China recognize and enforce foreign arbitral awards. This paper analyzes whether foreign arbitral awards encompass investment arbitral awards by examining the content of the Convention, its savings clause, and relevant case law, with the aim of further exploring the implications of applying the Convention to investment arbitral awards and how China and Indonesia should address these implications

Abstract

This research examines the dynamics of the penitentiary system transparent, and accountable criminal case handling in criminal execution law in Southeast Asia, focusing on the convergence and divergence of international perspectives. These countries have diverse approaches to the penitentiary system and criminal law enforcement, including in terms of the implementation of the death penalty and the treatment of prisoners. Some countries, such as Singapore and Malaysia, maintain strict death penalty practices, which often contradict international human rights standards, while others such as the Philippines show inconsistencies in implementing criminal execution laws. This research also examines the three main stages in the enforcement of the penitentiary system, namely the formulation stage, the application stage and the execution stage, which vary across Southeast Asian countries. Historical, political and cultural factors contribute to these variations, affecting the conformity of national legal systems with transparent and accountable international criminal law. In addition, this study highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in criminal case handling, as well as the role of rehabilitation in the penitentiary system, as an effort to align with international standards, especially regarding the treatment of death row prisoners. Understanding these dynamics is expected to provide insight into the differences and similarities in criminal execution laws in Southeast Asia as well as efforts towards better integration with international perspectives on human rights and criminal executions.

Abstract

The restriction of foreign ownership in Indonesia’s mineral and coal mining sector is intended to uphold national sovereignty over natural resources and ensure equitable public welfare. However, these objectives are undermined by the widespread use of nominee agreements, a form of legal circumvention that enables foreign investors to covertly maintain control over mining operations. This normative juridical study, based on secondary legal sources and inductive analysis, finds that the persistence of nominee practices is primarily due to inadequate regulatory oversight and weak law enforcement. As a result, the benefits of mining activities are diverted away from the Indonesian people, contradicting the constitutional mandate that natural resources be utilized for the greatest possible prosperity of the population. The study recommends the establishment of a coordinated regulatory framework involving the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, and the Investment Coordinating Board to monitor beneficial ownership structures and enforce existing prohibitions on nominee arrangements. Strengthening these mechanisms is essential to safeguard Indonesia’s resource sovereignty and ensure the fair distribution of mining revenues.

Abstract

In this digital era, technology has changed many aspects of life. Land purchase agreements in Indonesia, which were previously carried out conventionally, have begun to shift to digital platforms. Digitalization in land purchase agreements offers various opportunities, but this process also has a number of challenges that need to be overcome to ensure that land purchase transactions can be carried out efficiently and safely, providing legal protection to buyers. The formulation of the problem in this study is how the challenges and opportunities of land purchase agreement transactions in the digital era in Indonesia and how legal protection is provided for buyers in digital land purchase transactions in Indonesia. This type of research is library research. Library research is research conducted using references in the form of books, journals, newspapers, magazines or reports of previous research results. Data collection techniques use secondary data, either using primary materials, secondary materials or tertiary materials. Data analysis in this study uses interactive analysis. The results of the study show that the opportunities with the presence of digitalization in land purchase agreement transactions in Indonesia can provide acceleration in accessing information about land, such as location, price, and legal status by prospective sellers and buyers. Transactions can be carried out without having to meet in person. Another opportunity from digitalization in land sale and purchase agreement transactions is the ease of recording and archiving documents. This digitalization also opens up opportunities for the government to eradicate corruption and extortion practices that still often occur in conventional land sale and purchase processes. One of the main challenges faced by buyers is fraud. In digital transactions, fraud can occur through various modes of operation, such as the sale of land with unclear ownership, falsification of documents, or presentation of inaccurate information. Legal protection must be provided to buyers in digital land sale and purchase agreements. The application of digital technology in land sale and purchase agreements must use a blockchain system and e-signatures to verify land ownership. This is done to overcome the problems of duplication and forgery, as well as to increase security and transparency.
