Abstract

Infrastructure development is a strategic sector in national development as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and regulated under Law Number 2 of 2017 on Construction Services. However, the practice of law enforcement concerning building failures demonstrates inconsistency, particularly when applying the Anti-Corruption Law (UU Tipikor), despite such matters being more appropriately resolved through the legal mechanisms of construction law or civil contract law. The collapse of the Mandastana Bridge and the Sukamara Prison wall serve as concrete examples of legal uncertainty arising from improper application of the law, thereby raising issues of legality, the principle of ultimum remedium, and legal certainty. This study aims to analyze the application of Article 2 Paragraph (1) and Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law and Article 55 Paragraph (1) of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) in relation to building failures in government goods and services procurement; to examine its legal implications; and to formulate an ideal, logical, consistent, and harmonious legal policy within the national legal system. Utilizing a normative approach, the research affirms that building failures are more effectively addressed through administrative and civil instruments, except where clear indications of corruption exist. The findings indicate that multiple interpretations of the elements of “unlawfulness,” “self-enrichment,” and “state loss” in the Anti-Corruption Law result in inconsistent law enforcement, protracted legal processes, and hesitation among officials in making decisions. Therefore, legal reform is required through the revision of the Anti-Corruption Law, the drafting of technical guidelines, capacity-building for law enforcement, and the protection of official discretion in accordance with the principles of good governance. Thus, a reconstruction of construction law focused on justice, legal certainty, and public benefit is expected to deliver infrastructure that is high-quality, sustainable, and capable of providing optimal economic benefits for society.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the forms of criminal violations of the General Election that occurred in Jambi Province during the 2024 Election, and analyze them from the perspectives of positive law and Islamic criminal law. This study uses a qualitative method with an empirical juridical approach, combining literature studies and field data from the Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), the Law Enforcement Agency (Gakkumdu), and court decisions. The results indicate that the most prevalent violations are money politics, off-schedule campaigning, violations of the neutrality of civil servants (ASN), the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), and the Indonesian National Police (Polri), the spread of hoaxes, vote rigging, and the destruction of campaign materials. Of the total findings and reports in Jambi Province, the majority are administrative violations. However, seven cases were processed as election crimes, some of which have reached the investigation stage and court decisions. From an Islamic criminal law perspective, these violations are categorized as ta'zir crimes, with discretionary sanctions intended to provide a deterrent effect and safeguard the public interest. This study emphasizes the synergy between positive law and Islamic values ​​in realizing honest, fair, and dignified elections.

Abstract

This study examines the application of Immanuel Kant's retributive justice theory in judicial decisions imposing death sentences for premeditated murder cases in Indonesia, particularly following the landmark Constitutional Court Decision No. 21/PUU-VI/2008. The research employs a normative juridical approach, analyzing secondary legal materials including legislation, court decisions, legal doctrines, and philosophical theories. Kant's retributive theory posits that punishment must be proportionate to the moral culpability of the offender, embodying the principle of ius talionis. However, the Constitutional Court's decision has reframed the death penalty as an exceptional and alternative sanction, requiring judges to consider principles of proportionality and individualization. This study reveals a fundamental tension between classical Kantian retributivism, which demands absolute proportionality regardless of consequentialist considerations, and the Constitutional Court's approach that increasingly emphasizes human rights protection and gradual abolitionism. The findings demonstrate that while judges rhetorically invoke retributive principles in their reasoning, practical application has become constrained by constitutional imperatives that prioritize rehabilitation and the right to life. This normative contradiction suggests an evolutionary shift in Indonesia's criminal justice philosophy from pure retribution toward a more nuanced balancing of retributive, rehabilitative, and human rights considerations.
