Abstract

The rapid development of information technology has driven the growth of the digital economy but also increased the threat of cross-border cybercrime. In Indonesia, cyber law regulation still faces challenges, both in terms of legal substance, institutions, and implementation of law enforcement. This article aims to explore the strengthening of cyber law policy in Indonesia to face global challenges in cybercrime. This article identifies various weaknesses in existing policies using a juridical-normative research method and a descriptive-analytical approach. It recommends strengthening regulatory harmonization, increasing law enforcement capacity, and international collaboration. The results of the study indicate that Indonesia's cyber law framework needs to be updated to be more adaptive to technological developments and global threats. In addition, integrating national law and international policy is a major highlight in increasing the effectiveness of controlling cybercrime. This article makes an important contribution to the development of responsive and relevant cyber law in facing the challenges of the digital era.

Abstract

Land disputes in Skouw Sae Village, Muara Tami District, Jayapura City, still occur. The purpose of this study is to determine the process of resolving customary land disputes related to the release of overlapping customary land and to determine the obstacles faced in the process of resolving customary land disputes related to the release of overlapping customary land in Skouw Sae Village, Muara Tami District, Jayapura City. The approach used in this study is the normative and empirical legal approach, which refers to laws, literature, written regulations, or other secondary legal materials and sees the reality that occurs in the field. The results of this study reveal that the process of resolving customary land disputes related to the release of overlapping customary land in Skouw Sae Village is through deliberation led by the Customary Head or Customary Figure (Ondoafi), witnessed by the village head, local village head/sub-district head, then the disputing parties are brought together by bringing written evidence of a customary land release letter which is proof of ownership of the customary land. Meanwhile, the obstacles faced in the process of resolving customary land disputes related to the release of overlapping customary land can be seen from two factors, namely internal factors and external factors, where the internal factor is because the disputing parties want to win on their own, each insists on defending their property, and the external factor is the interference of external parties which worsens the problems that occur on both sides.

Abstract

Incest cases in Indonesia remain a concerning issue that demands serious attention from various stakeholders. This study is motivated by legal challenges regarding the protection of incest victims, particularly with the application of the best interest of the child principle. In practice, however, cases of violence against children are often not addressed with an approach that prioritizes the best interest of the child. This research focuses on analyzing Verdict No. 148/Pid.Sus/2023/PN.BLN aims to identify the extent to which judicial considerations in resolving this case have either disregarded or adhered to the best interest of the child principle. The research adopts a normative legal method involving analysis, observation, and examination of written legal materials. In normative legal research, the focus lies on applying existing laws as a guiding framework within societal life, determining what is considered appropriate. This study employs a case-based approach by analyzing primary and secondary legal materials, including legislation, court decisions, and relevant legal literature. Data were collected through a literature review and analyzed deductively to address the research questions. The findings indicate that in Verdict No. 148/Pid.Sus/2023/PN.BLN, the judges have not fully prioritized the best interest of the child principal. Although efforts were made to protect children who are victims of incest, several critical aspects were not adequately considered. This highlights the need to enhance judges' awareness and understanding of the importance of the best interest of the child principle in every decision involving victims of violence, particularly in cases of incest.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the weaknesses of district authority in implementing Papua Special Autonomy and its impact on the implementation of government and public services and examine the obstacles in implementing decentralization in Papua, especially related to the position and authority of the district. The research method used in this study is the normative legal research method using a statutory, conceptual, and comparative approach. The results of this study reveal that district authority in implementing the Papua Special Autonomy policy has a crucial role in bringing public services closer to the community and increasing the effectiveness of local government administration. Based on Law Number 2 of 2021 and its derivative regulations (PP Number 106 of 2021 and PP Number 107 of 2021), districts have a strategic role in development planning, regional financial management, and local wisdom-based governance. Meanwhile, the obstacles in implementing Special Autonomy at the district level in Papua reflect broader challenges in the decentralization system and regional governance. Based on an analysis of Law Number 2 of 2021, PP Number 106 of 2021, and PP Number 107 of 2021, the main obstacles faced in the implementation of Special Autonomy in the district include: limited capacity of district officials, less than optimal financial management, weak coordination between institutions, and low community participation in the governance process.

Abstract

Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (New Criminal Code) was finally passed as a substitute for the old Criminal Code or Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning Criminal Law Regulations; in the new Criminal Code, several articles have received pros and cons in the community, one of which is related to the inclusion of articles on laws that live in society (Customary Law). The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze carefully the role of customary Law in the specifics of criminal Law after its inclusion in the new Criminal Code so that we can find out about its position as a law that was once known as unwritten Law into written Law.

Abstract

This study investigates the financial management of Public Service Agencies (BLU) within Indonesian state universities, focusing on the unauthorized imposition of institutional development fees (SPI/IPI) on independent pathway students at Udayana University, resulting in significant State financial losses. Employing a normative juridical methodology, the research analyzes regulatory frameworks, institutional accountability, and the legal implications of fee structures that contravene Ministry of Finance regulations (PMK No. 51/2015 and PMK No. 95/2020). Findings reveal systemic non-compliance in fee determination, where SPI/IPI charges were applied without legal authorization, bypassing mandated tariff protocols. The study identifies critical lapses in oversight, including the rector's failure to align fee policies with national financial regulations and the misuse of BLU flexibility, which enabled the diversion of funds into non-transparent banking practices. The case underscores the vulnerability of BLU's financial autonomy to mismanagement and corruption, particularly in the absence of robust accountability mechanisms. Recommendations emphasize the urgent need for legal reforms to enhance transparency, strengthen auditing processes, and clarify punitive measures for violations. This research contributes to the discourse on public financial governance in higher education, advocating for institutional reforms to prevent future fiscal mismanagement and uphold the integrity of State’s resources.

Abstract

The settlement of constitutional complaint disputes represents a legal mechanism that may be undertaken by a branch of judicial power, such as the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi). This mechanism is intended to ensure the upholding of the law and the protection of citizens' constitutional rights. This mechanism has long been implemented in several countries—such as South Korea, Germany, and Thailand. However, in Indonesia, no legal framework currently governs constitutional complaints. The absence of such regulation has resulted in the lack of a legal mechanism for resolving cases involving violations of constitutional rights. This article examines two key aspects: first, the theory and practice of constitutional complaint dispute resolution, and second, the ius constituendum regarding constitutional complaint resolution in Indonesia. The study highlights the necessity of comprehensive regulation to ensure legal certainty and justice within the Indonesian legal system. The research adopts a normative juridical method, using statutory, case-based, conceptual, and comparative approaches.
