Abstract

The handling of corruption crimes aims not only to punish perpetrators but also to recover state losses through fines and restitution payments. In this context, prosecutors play a strategic role as executors of court decisions, ensuring the enforcement of fine payments by convicted corruption offenders. This study aims to analyze the role of prosecutors in maximizing fine payments by convicted corruption offenders at the Boalemo District Prosecutor's Office. The research employs a juridical-empirical method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with prosecutors, document reviews, and direct observation of corruption cases handled by the Boalemo District Prosecutor's Office. The findings reveal that prosecutors play a crucial role in asset tracing, seizure, and auctioning to enforce fine payments. However, this role faces several challenges, such as limited resources, hidden assets by convicts, and weak inter-agency coordination. The study concludes that the effectiveness of prosecutors' roles can be enhanced through proactive approaches in asset tracing, the use of technology, and cross-agency cooperation at both national and international levels. With a more integrated strategy, the Boalemo District Prosecutor's Office can optimize state loss recovery and create a deterrent effect for corruption offenders.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the roles of PPNS investigators, BPOM, and the Indonesian National Police (Polri) in addressing the crime of illegal cosmetic distribution in Gorontalo, as well as the challenges faced by PPNS BPOM and Polri investigators in handling such cases. This research is an empirical legal study conducted at the Balai Besar Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM) office in Gorontalo and the Gorontalo City Police Station (Polresta Gorontalo Kota). The data sources for this study include both primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques involved interviews and data gathering. The collected data were then analyzed descriptively using qualitative methods. The research findings indicate that, firstly, the role of PPNS BPOM, particularly within the BPOM agency, encompasses the authority to conduct investigations and inquiries into cosmetic-related violations. However, they do not possess the authority to carry out arrests. In contrast, Polri investigators are responsible for executing legal actions such as arrests, detentions, searches, and the seizure of evidence. Additionally, they serve as coordinators in the investigation of specific cases. Secondly, the challenges faced by PPNS BPOM include a shortage of investigators, with only two personnel available, which hinders the investigative process. Meanwhile, Polri investigators encounter limitations due to inadequate laboratory facilities, which impede investigations that require laboratory-verified evidence.

Abstract

Informed consent is a crucial component of dental services, designed to protect patient rights and minimize legal risks for dentists. In Indonesia, despite regulations being established through various laws, the implementation of informed consent faces several challenges, including low patient literacy, inconsistent information practices, and gaps in regulation and supervision. This study employs a normative approach, analyzing relevant regulations, examining case studies of legal disputes, and reviewing pertinent literature. It also explores the practices of informed consent in developed countries such as the United States and Australia to identify strategies that can be adapted to the Indonesian context. Additionally, the research investigates cultural, technological, and literacy-related barriers that impact the implementation of informed consent. The study's findings reveal that, although regulations regarding informed consent are in place, their practical application remains inadequate. Major obstacles include the absence of specific guidelines for dentistry, limited legal awareness among dentists, and a paternalistic cultural mindset. Furthermore, inadequate documentation of informed consent often creates loopholes that can lead to legal disputes. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening existing regulations, developing national guidelines tailored to the dental profession, providing legal training for dentists, and enhancing public health education. It also proposes the use of technology, such as digital applications, to support more effective documentation and information dissemination. These improvements aim to ensure that the practice of informed consent in Indonesian dentistry meets legal, ethical, and patient-centered standards comprehensively

Abstract

Cracking down on the circulation of pharmaceutical preparations without a distribution permit is a serious challenge for the prosecutor's office in Indonesia, given its negative impact on public health and the legal system. This article aims to analyze the obstacles faced by prosecutors in handling illegal pharmaceutical cases and offer strategic solutions to strengthen the effectiveness of law enforcement. The research was conducted using normative juridical methods with conceptual and legislative approaches to evaluate the applicable legal framework, institutional roles, and regulatory relevance to the practical needs of law enforcement. The results of the study revealed that the prosecutor's office faces various obstacles, including a lack of technical understanding by prosecutors related to health law, weak coordination with institutions such as the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) and the police, and limited infrastructure such as accredited forensic laboratories. In addition, existing regulations are considered inadequate in providing a deterrent effect, considering that light sanctions are often not proportional to the negative impact caused by the circulation of illegal pharmaceuticals. This is exacerbated by low public participation in reporting violations and monitoring the distribution of illegal pharmaceutical products. To overcome these obstacles, this study recommends several strategic measures, including strengthening technical capacity through special training for prosecutors, establishing a specialist unit in the prosecutor's office, and integrating coordination between institutions through clear cooperation protocols. Another solution is the use of information technology to create an integrated supervision system, as well as regulatory revisions that tighten sanctions for illegal pharmaceutical actors. This study concludes that strengthening the role of the prosecutor's office requires a comprehensive approach, including institutional reform, cross-sectoral collaboration, and public education. The results of this research are expected to make a practical and academic contribution in improving the effectiveness of law enforcement in the pharmaceutical sector and protecting public health in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

As a country with a representative democracy system, Indonesia regularly holds legislative elections. Since its independence, Indonesia has used two electoral systems: the closed proportional system and the open proportional system. In 2023, there was a debate about shifting from the open proportional system back to the closed proportional system. This issue is the focus of this study. Using normative research methods and qualitative analysis of literature, the author identified the reasons behind this shift. The main concern is the conflict with the constitution. Other weaknesses of the open proportional system include high costs, long execution times, money politics, and corruption risks. The closed proportional system is considered more efficient in terms of costs, time, competition quality, and candidate quality. However, its main issue is public distrust of political parties. Despite its benefits, the closed proportional system is not yet suitable for Indonesia's current situation.

Abstract

This study discusses the comparison of the granting of inheritance rights for Muslim heirs in Indonesia and Malaysia based on the perspective of Islamic law and its implementation in the national legal systems of each country. Islamic inheritance law in Indonesia is regulated in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), the implementation of which is influenced by cultural diversity and the legal options given to the community. Meanwhile, in Malaysia, Islamic inheritance law is implemented through the Sharia Court which has exclusive jurisdiction to resolve inheritance cases for Muslims. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-comparative approach to analyze the similarities and differences in the regulation and implementation of Islamic inheritance law in both countries. The results of the study show that although both countries base their inheritance law systems on sharia principles, differences in institutional structures and socio-political contexts result in variations in the implementation of the law. This study also identifies the challenges faced, such as differences in legal interpretation and conflicts between heirs, and provides recommendations to improve harmonization and efficiency in the implementation of Islamic inheritance law in Indonesia and Malaysia

Abstract

The research method used is a normative legal research method with statutory approaches (Statute Approach) and case approaches (Case Approach). The results of the study show that the Extrajudicial Killing that occurred in the Philippines by the Rodrigo Duterte regime contradicts the provisions of Command Memorandum Circular No. 16-2016 concerning the PNP Anti Illegal Drugs Campaign Plan-Project "Double Barre" which regulates the procedures for implementing the War on Drugs agenda by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Even though the Philippines' status in the 1998 Rome Statute became a non-state party, the ICC still has jurisdiction because this act of extrajudicial killing occurred before the Philippines withdrew from the 1998 Rome Statute, the court first issued a Preliminary Examination examination.

Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of Law No. 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation within the context of resolving industrial relations disputes in courts. Against the backdrop of the primary objectives of the Job Creation Law, which focus on enhancing investment and creating employment opportunities, this study analyzes how the new regulations affect the mechanisms for dispute resolution between workers and employers. The research methodology employed is a qualitative approach through literature review and interviews with legal practitioners, as well as the analysis of relevant court cases. The analysis results indicate that although the Job Creation Law aims to expedite the dispute resolution process, there are challenges in its implementation. These challenges include a lack of understanding among workers and employers regarding the new procedures and the potential for injustice arising from the reduction of workers' rights. The study also recommends the necessity of socialization and training for all related parties to improve understanding and acceptance of the regulatory changes, as well as the importance of supervision to ensure fairness in dispute resolution within the courts. Thus, this article contributes to a better understanding of the impact of the Job Creation Law on the dynamics of industrial relations in Indonesia

Abstract

Insurance protection in risky tourism activities is very important, especially in areas with high potential and risky natural tourism, such as South Bolaang Mongondow Regency. This research aims to analyze the role of insurance protection in reducing the risks faced by tourists and tourism managers in the area. Using a qualitative approach, this research examines the different types of insurance applied in the tourism industry, including health, accident and property damage insurance. It also discusses the factors that influence the application of insurance in the tourism sector, the challenges faced by stakeholders, and the importance of socialization and education on the benefits of insurance protection for tourists. The results show that although some tourism managers have implemented insurance for tourists, there are still gaps in understanding and optimal implementation of insurance in South Bolaang Mongondow Regency. Therefore, there is a need for increased awareness and collaboration between the government, tourism managers, and insurance companies to create a more effective and efficient protection system for risky tourism activities in the area
