Abstract

This research aims to analyze the liability of former heads of state for international crimes, focusing on the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) prosecution of Rodrigo Duterte for crimes against humanity. Using normative juridical methods with a case study approach, this paper examines the applicability of international criminal law principles, particularly individual accountability, complementarity, and jurisdiction, in Duterte’s case. The study emphasizes that despite the Philippines' withdrawal from the Rome Statute in 2019, the ICC retains jurisdiction over crimes committed while the country was a State Party. The research concludes that the ICC’s issuance of an arrest warrant for Duterte on March 11, 2025, affirms that former heads of state are not immune from prosecution for grave international crimes. This case sets a significant precedent in Southeast Asia and demonstrates the importance of international cooperation to overcome challenges related to state sovereignty and jurisdiction. It further highlights the ICC's critical role in upholding the rule of law and providing justice for victims of human rights violations

Abstract

A citizen lawsuit is a legal instrument that allows individuals or groups to hold the government accountable for actions or policies deemed to violate human and constitutional rights. In the Indonesian legal system, although not explicitly regulated by law, this practice has developed through court decisions and the active role of civil society in demanding justice. This article aims to analyze the status, function, and urgency of strengthening the citizen lawsuit mechanism in defending public rights violated by the state. The method used is a normative juridical approach, examining legal literature, court decisions, and relevant regulations from the past five years. The results of the study indicate that citizen lawsuits not only serve as a means of correcting government policies but also play a crucial role in strengthening the principles of the rule of law, accountability, and participatory democracy.

Abstract

In Bangladesh, the idea of a nominee and nomination has actually been existing for centuries. Despite its extensive background, it is regrettable that the Act does not contain a uniform and unambiguous clause pertaining to a nominee's legal status. There is some ambiguity because of the intricate interactions and discrepancies between judicial rulings and legislative measures. In the lack of clear legislative direction, the court's discretion is typically used to resolve problems pertaining to the nominee's legal standing. The ultimate result is deprivation of rights of legal heirs in banking sector, capital market and everywhere. Instead of having constitutional safeguard the lacking of uniform law creates ambiguity to obtain rights in effective way. To ensure justice the Government should scrutinize the matter properly and should develop a suitable system in everywhere where the nominee and legal heir dispute arises.

Abstract

The implementation of the principle of justice for crime victims in the criminal justice process is a crucial issue in efforts to reform criminal law in Indonesia. The perspective of Natural Law Philosophy provides a strong normative foundation through the idea that every human being has natural rights that must be respected by the state, including the right of victims to obtain just redress. This study examines the extent to which Natural Law principles, such as moral justice, respect for human dignity, and balance of rights, are reflected in policies and practices for protecting crime victims. The method used is a normative juridical approach through analysis of relevant laws and regulations, doctrines, and court decisions. The results of the study indicate that although positive legal instruments such as the Witness and Victim Protection Law, provisions on restitution and compensation, and assistance mechanisms have accommodated victims' rights, their implementation remains inadequate. Barriers arise in the form of limited access, minimal understanding among law enforcement officials, and suboptimal service providers. These imperfections create a gap between the ideals of natural justice and positive sentencing practices. This research emphasizes the need to prioritize reformulating sentencing policies that are more oriented toward victim recovery so that the Indonesian legal system aligns with the universal values of Natural Law Philosophy and is able to deliver substantive justice in every law enforcement process.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the disharmony of Regional Regulations (Perda) with higher legislative regulations and to seek solutions to address these issues. The research method used is normative legal research with an approach to analyzing legislative regulations. The results indicate that the disharmony of Perda with legislative regulations can lead to legal conflicts, legal uncertainty, and detriment to society. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonize Perda with higher legislative regulations through the evaluation and revision of incompatible Perda. This study recommends that local governments pay attention to the hierarchy of legislative regulations in the formulation of Perda and enhance the capacity and knowledge of local government officials in the field of law.
