Abstract

Background. Currently, research and reviews on the human brain are increasingly supported by continuously developing technological advancements. Thus, children's brain development is more easily comprehended along with the rapid growth of science. In criminal law, this supports the understanding of children's ability to control impulsive behavior. This research aimed to observe children's age limit in taking responsibility for crimes in the Indonesian law system by considering legal theories and science related to the cognitive neural system from the perspective of neurolaw. Research Method. In this research, the data is obtained from a literature study and analyzed conceptually based on legal regulation in Indonesia usually it’s namely normative legal research. Findings. The result of this research showed that in Indonesia, children can be imposed with criminal responsibility from the age of 12 until before they reach the age of 18. Meanwhile, from the perspective of neurolaw, the brain has not completely developed within that age range, and its shifts are reflected in human behavior. However, due to the gradual transition of brain development, it is impossible to determine an absolute age limit for brain maturity in the range of 12-17 years old, and thus children’s criminal cases must be reviewed individually. Therefore, the assistance or explanation of neural/psychiatric experts, besides legal experts, is required in handling children's criminal cases. Conclusion. Children can be charged with criminal responsibility from 12 to 18 years old, due to brain development shifts.

Victims may experience depression, anxiety disorders, changes in sleep and eating patterns, health problems, and decreased academic performance. Conclusion. Bullying in schools is a significant issue that requires collective action from the educational community.

Abstract

Background. There are changes to the mechanism following the amendment of the Indonesian 1945 Constitution, regarding the President's or Vice President's impeachment. After the amendment, the impeachment process can be initiated by the House of Representatives to the Constitutional Court by including strong allegations of violations committed by the President or Vice President. After that, the Constitutional Court will make a decision which will later be discussed in a parliamentary session of the People’s Consultative Assembly. Looking at the impeachment mechanism above, a new question arises as to whether this mechanism is by the supremacy of constitutional law. Research Method. This research is written to find the impeachment mechanism outlined in the 1945 Constitution according to the supremacy of constitutional law, by focusing on the function of checks and balances through qualitative methods. Findings. The results of this research show that the impeachment mechanism is not by the 1945 Constitution due to the existence of political mechanisms. Conclusion. The checks and balances process has not taken place in a balanced manner because the Constitutional Court's decision on the indictment is inexplicit or binding on both the People’s Consultative Assembly and the 1945 Constitution.

Abstract

Background. According to Law No. 30/1999, Article 60, arbitral awards are binding on the parties, final, and have permanent legal effect. Except in cases of third-party opposition, arbitration rulings do not give rise to legal recourse. Indonesia has been using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) since ancient times. ADR is seen as an alternative to litigation or adjudication. Early neutral evaluation, conciliation, mediation, negotiation, and various hybrid forms are some of the ADR practices Indonesia has been using. Civil procedural law governs the execution of arbitration rulings; these rules are found in the Het Herziene Indonesisch Regelemen or Renewed Indonesian Reglemen. This research aimed to determine the enforcement of arbitral awards. Research Method. This research approach uses a juridical-sociological methodology, which entails researching actual social situations with the goal of fact-finding, which subsequently leads to problem identification, and finally, problem solution. Findings. Similar to the execution of decisions made by civil courts, not all arbitration awards can be carried out due to the challenges involved in doing so. In addition, there must be significant efforts made by seeking for execution seizure of the respondent's property in order to ensure that the obligation to pay a specific sum of money may actually be achieved, ensuring that execution does not become illusory or win on paper alone. Conclusion. Arbitration awards cannot be executed due to challenges and property seizure. Significant efforts are needed to ensure the obligation to pay a specific sum is met, preventing illusory or paper wins.

Findings. During the execution of a loan agreement within a cooperative, it's essential to evaluate the loan-repaying capability of its members. If no family principles resolve the default, the cooperative sells the collateral to repay the debt. Conclusion. A savings and loan unit, or credit cooperative, provides loans with lenient terms to fellow cooperatives, members, or the community for business development. Defaults pose significant challenges in implementing savings and loan agreements.

Abstract

Background. The existence of collateral in bank credit agreements is crucial as one of the legal safeguards for the bank's security in mitigating risks. This is to ensure that the debtor will repay the loan. Even though the debtor might go bankrupt, creditors who have secured their loans with mortgages or other similar agreements have special rights. These rights protect them in case the debtor can't pay back the loan. Research Methods. This research investigates the parate executie regulations under Indonesian bankruptcy law and examines the legal protection available to separate creditors in the presence of parate executie. A normative juridical research method was used, with data collected through a literature and document review. Findings. The results of the study show that the bankruptcy case of a limited liability company causes creditors to lose their civil rights to control and manage the assets of an individual who has been included in the bankrupt estate, where separate creditors have a separate position to be prioritized in the repayment of their claims. Conclusion. The crux of the matter lies in the discord between bankruptcy and mortgage laws. While bankruptcy law imposes a moratorium on creditor enforcement actions, mortgage law accords creditors a more immediate right of execution. This legal dissonance creates uncertainty for secured creditors like PT. BM. To rectify this situation, a reconciliation of these two legal frameworks is essential.

Abstract

Background. Pawn transactions have become a significant alternative financing instrument for MSMEs, especially in retail. In Indonesia, pawn transactions will increase by 15% in 2023, with MSMEs as the primary users. However, legal protection for creditors still faces challenges, especially regarding collateral execution and default risk. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of legal protection for creditors in pawn transactions involving MSMEs in the retail sector and to provide strategic recommendations to strengthen the existing legal framework. Research Method. This study uses a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative analysis through SEM-PLS with qualitative case studies. Findings. Pawn regulations significantly affect creditor protection (path coefficient 0.35, p <0.001), but there are still weaknesses in implementation, especially related to transparency and collateral Execution. Qualitative analysis shows that legal education and regulatory reform are urgently needed for legal protection. Conclusion. To create a more stable financial ecosystem for MSMEs in the Indonesian retail sector, the interests of creditors and debtors must be balanced through increased transparency, legal education, and simplification of collateral execution mechanisms.
