Abstract

The expanding use of social media by public officials has transformed governmental communication into a real-time, direct, and wide-reaching practice, while simultaneously generating new legal tensions concerning criminal defamation and responsibility for reputational harm in digital environments. This paper seeks to propose how a balance between freedom of expression and the public official’s function of disseminating information through media and the constitutional protection of individual honor can be formulated within the framework of criminal liability for defamation on social media under the ITE Law. This study employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches, supplemented by a case approach through the controversy of DN versus AR as a public official in Surabaya as an illustrative instance of the application of Article 27A juncto Article 45(4) of the ITE Law. Primary and secondary legal materials were analyzed prescriptively to examine the role of social media as a medium of communication, the element of intent (dolus), and the positional consequences of public officials in criminal liability. The findings show that the ITE Law does not merely function as a repressive instrument against citizens, but also as an institutional control mechanism that imposes a duty of care on public officials when communicating through social media. The criminal defamation provisions under Article 27A in conjunction with Article 45(4) ITE Law establish constitutional and penal boundaries that restrict public officials’ freedom of expression, requiring accuracy, verification, and proportionality to prevent reputational harm.

Abstract

Despite its long-standing dominance in dogmatic legal science, logical positivism has been increasingly criticized for its tendency to reduce law to a purely normative and formal system. While extensive scholarship has examined legal positivism in general, the specific problem of reductionist assumptions within logical positivism—and their implications for dogmatic legal science—remains insufficiently explored. This article aims to critically examine the reductionist assumptions underlying logical positivism from the perspective of dogmatic legal science, with particular attention to their epistemological consequences. This study adopts a normative–doctrinal legal method combined with conceptual and critical approaches to analyze the epistemological foundations of reductionism in logical positivism. The analysis draws on legal positivist theory and its critiques, particularly dogmatic legal theory and critical jurisprudence, to assess the limitations of reductionist reasoning in legal analysis. The study finds that reductionist assumptions in logical positivism significantly limit the capacity of dogmatic legal science to account for the social, moral, and interpretative dimensions of law, thereby narrowing its epistemological scope. This article contributes to legal theory by demonstrating the need for a more context-sensitive and interdisciplinary framework within dogmatic legal science to overcome the epistemological limitations of logical positivism.

Abstract

The use of music in public spaces continues to increase alongside the development of the entertainment, tourism, and marketing industries, at both the national and international levels, making the management of music royalties a strategic issue in copyright governance. Many previous studies have focused solely on law enforcement effectiveness or compliance with royalty payments, without examining in depth the legal politics underlying the disharmony between public legal norms and contractual mechanisms for royalty management. This study aims to analyze the direction of legal politics in managing music royalty sanctions in the public space, as set out in Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright (the Copyright Law) and contracts managed by the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN). The method used is a normative juridical approach that analyzes the Copyright Law and applies the principle of distributive justice, drawing on primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the study show that the overlap of sanctions is caused by the absence of a clear legal-political design for placing LMKN contracts as hierarchically integrated instruments within public legal norms, thereby creating legal uncertainty, potential duplication of sanctions, and weak governance of royalty distribution. The novelty of this research lies in its analysis of legal politics in the relationship between public norms and private contracts in the music royalty system, which makes a conceptual contribution to harmonizing sanctions and renewing copyright policies in the era of the digital creative economy.

Abstract

Dwangsom are intended to compel the losing party to comply with a legally binding court decision. However, in Indonesian civil procedural law, they continue to cause uncertainty and debate. Generally, previous research has focused only enforcement of a fine obstacles rather than on normative limitations, issues with the principle of justice, and the sustainability of dwangsom. This research aims to discuss the legality, preferences, and urgency of Dwangsom through doctrinal legal research methods, drawing on statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The analysis was conducted on Indonesian regulations by comparing them with Dutch civil procedural law as a reference.  The findings highlight three key points. First, the application of dwangsom can be traced back to Articles 606a and 606b of the Reglement op de Rechtsvordering (Rv) serve as the primary legal basis for the imposition of dwangsom in Indonesian civil procedure. Second, the principle of proportionality demonstrates that dwangsom should not be applied to judgments involving the payment of a sum of money or debt obligations, because monetary obligations already have their own enforcement mechanism. Third, future reform of Indonesian civil procedure law is necessary to establish measurable standards for determining the dwangsom. The absence of clear limitations regarding the amount and duration of dwangsom creates significant risks of abuse. These findings expand on previous studies by positioning dwangsom as a procedural sanction that must be tested through the principles of proportionality and legal certainty.

Abstract

This article analyzes structural inequalities in the implementation of the National Health Insurance Program (JKN) in Indonesia using John Rawls’ Difference Principle as a normative framework. Although JKN has achieved near-universal coverage of approximately 98% of the population by 2025, disparities in access, quality, and distribution of healthcare services persist, particularly in remote, border, and archipelagic areas (DTPK). This study employs a normative legal method combined with policy analysis to evaluate whether the institutional structure of Indonesia’s health system has provided optimal benefits for the least advantaged groups. The findings show that unequal distribution of medical personnel, the concentration of specialist doctors in urban areas, and limited primary healthcare infrastructure reflect structural failures that contradict the principle of distributive justice. The JKN system, which is formally universal, has not been able to ensure substantive justice as it continues to reproduce social and geographical inequalities. This article contributes theoretically by integrating Rawls’ Difference Principle into health policy analysis, and practically by offering a justice-based reform framework through affirmative and redistributive interventions, including redistribution of health workers, inequality-based budget reallocation, and the use of health technology to overcome geographical barriers. These findings emphasize that achieving justice in the health system is not sufficient through expanding financial coverage alone, but requires structural transformation oriented towards the most vulnerable groups.
