Abstract

Corporate criminal liability has become a strategic issue in the era of globalization, when multinational corporations play a role as economic drivers while also having the potential to commit transnational crimes. Differences in legal approaches between countries, particularly between common law and civil law systems, create disparities in the scope, enforcement, and philosophy of liability. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the legal framework for corporate criminal liability in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Indonesia, with a focus on the relationship between law enforcement mechanisms and compliance culture. The method used is normative-comparative legal research with analysis of regulations, court decisions, policy documents, and international guidelines such as those of the OECD and UNODC. The results show that the common law system adopts the vicarious liability model and hybrid mechanisms such as Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs), while civil law relies more on administrative sanctions. Indonesia is in a transitional phase with explicit recognition but inconsistent implementation. This study recommends an integrative model that combines deterrence-based law enforcement with institutional reform as an effort toward global harmonization of corporate accountability.

Abstract

Medical disputes are increasingly common worldwide as patients become more aware of their rights and healthcare providers face stricter professional standards. Conventional litigation, while ensuring procedural justice, often fails to address the ethical, moral, and psychological aspects of medical conflicts. This research highlights a key gap in the literature: the limited recognition of mediation not just as a cost-effective alternative but as a tool for achieving substantive justice. Using a qualitative normative approach, this study combines doctrinal and comparative analyses. Findings show that mediation resolves disputes more efficiently than litigation and at much lower costs. Beyond efficiency, mediation improves access and delivers substantive justice by addressing patients’ emotional needs, rebuilding trust, and maintaining professional integrity. However, challenges still exist, including limited legal recognition of mediation outcomes, a shortage of specialized mediators, and cultural resistance favoring litigation. This study contributes theoretically by reframing mediation as a justice-oriented process aligned with restorative justice and practically by offering policy suggestions to strengthen mediation’s legitimacy and institutional role in global health governance. Therefore, mediation should be recognized not only as an alternative procedure but as a key instrument for substantive justice within international health law.

Abstract

The dynamic relationship between legislation and constitutional courts has become a key issue in modern constitutional law. Legislation, reflecting democratic legitimacy, often faces challenges when political majorities pass laws that may threaten constitutional rights and the rule of law principles. Conversely, constitutional courts act as guardians of constitutional supremacy, ensuring that laws align with fundamental constitutional values. This study uses a normative juridical and comparative approach, analyzing constitutional texts, legislation, and landmark judicial decisions from Indonesia, Germany, South Africa, and South Korea. Through content analysis, comparative legal methods, and hermeneutic interpretation, the research shows that constitutional courts worldwide do not just correct unconstitutional laws but also play a constructive role in fostering democratic accountability. The findings emphasize that the relationship between legislation and constitutional courts should not be seen as adversarial; rather, it is a dialectical and symbiotic interaction that promotes constitutional democracy. The novelty of this research lies in its global comparative perspective, moving beyond country-specific analyses and suggesting a conceptual framework for understanding how legislative legitimacy and constitutional justice reinforce each other. This study contributes both to theoretical debates in comparative constitutional law and offers practical recommendations for improving judicial review and legislative processes in democratic systems.
