Indonesia Law Review (ILREV)

Core Subject : Social,
Law, Crime, Criminology & Criminal Justice
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

In recent years, the increasing number of children involved in narcotics-related crimes in Indonesia has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the current juvenile justice system. While the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law promotes the use of diversion and restorative justice, in practice, punitive measures such as imprisonment remain the dominant approach. This gap between normative ideals and legal reality highlights the need for reform. Drawing from comparative legal frameworks in countries such as the United States, Germany, and Spain, this study explores the potential of therapeutic treatment as a more humane and effective response to juvenile narcotics offenses. Therapeutic interventions—including skill development, psychosocial rehabilitation, and cognitive behavioural therapy—are presented as viable alternatives to incarceration, aiming to support the child's rehabilitation and reintegration. This research, which adopts a normative legal method supported by empirical data, applies statutory, comparative, and case approaches, with data analysed through a descriptive qualitative method. The findings emphasize that Indonesia’s enforcement practices require restructuring to align with the best interests of the child. Accordingly, a new therapeutic treatment model is proposed as a first-line response, positioning children not merely as offenders but as individuals in need of guidance and care.

Abstract

Current technological developments have brought humanity into a new era called the metaverse, a virtual world that allows people to interact through digital avatars. However, this progress has also presented new problems, one of which is virtual rape – rape committed by players through their avatars. Even though there is no direct physical contact, victims can still experience real psychological effects such as trauma, anxiety, and fear. The main problem is there are no regulations in Indonesia that can address this phenomenon yet. Therefore, this article examines the extent to which the phenomenon of “virtual rape” can be considered equivalent to the concept of rape within existing conceptual and legal frameworks. In the absence of such equivalence, it further examines whether virtual rape can nonetheless be classified as a criminal offence, or whether alternative legal frameworks may be applicable to address this phenomenon. The research attempted to answer that question by relying on the comparative studies of United Kingdoms, United States, and European Union. These countries have apparently addressed this issue in many different ways. It is a challenge to argue that virtual rape falls under the rape in the classical languages as rape is considered to be physical sexual assault. Hence it does not fulfil the key elements of rape.  However, this does not mean that this issue can be ignored. The virtual world is growing, and the line between the real and digital worlds is becoming increasingly blurred. Sooner or later, the possibility of more serious non-consensual sexual acts in the metaverse remains open or it might be increase to be a bigger problem.

Abstract

The absence of a universally accepted definition of terrorism has enabled states to exercise wide discretion in naming, governing, and exceptionalising violence. This article argues that, in Malaysia, “terrorism” did not emerge as a neutral legal category but as the product of a historically evolving security grammar, a patterned way of interpreting ideology, dissent, and conflict through the lens of existential threat. Employing a qualitative doctrinal socio-legal methodology, the study integrates analysis of international and Malaysian legal frameworks with case-based examination of key episodes, including Memali, Al-Arqam, Al-Ma’unah, Lahad Datu, and ISIS-linked incidents. Statutes, judicial decisions, policy materials, and regional case studies are analysed thematically to trace how definitional ambiguity is translated into concrete legal practice. The findings demonstrate that Malaysia’s counter-terrorism regime was shaped prior to modern terrorism statutes through practices of preventive governance that rendered belief and association governable through exception. These early patterns were later consolidated within contemporary legal architecture and globalised through transnational jihadist networks. The article shows how heterogeneous conflicts whether religious dissent, territorial disputes, or political mobilisation are converted into “terrorism,” activating exceptional powers and displacing alternative political or historical frames. By theorising terrorism as a legal and epistemic construction, this study reveals how counter-terrorism in Southeast Asia operates through a security grammar that prioritises pre-emption over proof and deterrence over proportionality. It highlights the enduring implications of this logic for legality, accountability, and human rights.

Abstract

Climate justice is an issue raised in Vietnam and many developing countries around the world due to the increasing number of serious climate change events in recent years. For this reason, energy transition is chosen as one of the solutions for climate justice promotion in Vietnam, as well as in other developing countries. Across the options, Small modular reactor (SMR) investment is under significant consideration for climate justice promotion in Vietnam and the developing countries. SMR can ensure that every person has access to clean energy while protecting the environment. However, developing SMR requires the harmonisation between innovation and nuclear safety when licensing SMR. For this reason, this study aims to develop recommendations for promoting climate justice by establishing regulations and rules governing the SMR licensing procedure. To realise the target, this study uses a legal comparative methodology to explain the rules and laws governing SMR licenses in the United States of America and Canada and how they promote climate justice. The findings show that flexibility is the core component of SMR licensing that contributes to climate justice. On this basis, the study further recommends legal solutions to promote climate justice in Vietnam and other developing countries through SMR licensing.

Abstract

This paper explores the temporal jurisdictional tensions arising from the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigation into alleged crimes against humanity committed during President Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs” (2016–2022). Despite the Philippines’ formal withdrawal from the Rome Statute in 2019, the ICC prosecutor proceeded with its investigation, validated by the judges. This raises complex questions surrounding the interpretation of Article 127 of the Rome Statute and the temporal limits of ICC jurisdiction. The paper is divided into three parts: the first outlines the procedural history of the war-on-drugs case, from 2016 to 2024; the second analyzes dissenting judicial opinions cautioning against the broader interpretation of Article 127; and the third examines key 2025 developments, including the issuance of an arrest warrant and public reactions. Ultimately, it argues that the ICC is facing a decisive institutional crossroads. A broader reading of Article 127, combined with the international legal community’s tendency to prioritize substantive justice over procedural formality, risks turning jurisdiction into a political tool.
