Abstract

The Republic of Indonesia is a country founded on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia as its constitutional foundation. Throughout its history, Indonesian Muslims have played a crucial role in shaping the nation's foundation, notably through the Constituent Assembly. According to Article 134 of the 1950 United States of Indonesia Law regarding the Amendments to the Provisional Constitution of the United States of Indonesia, the Constituent Assembly, together with the government, was tasked with promptly establishing a new Constitution to replace the Provisional Constitution. The Constituent Assembly was established during the Liberal Democracy period from 1950 to 1959, following the 1955 General Elections, which involved various political parties, groups, institutions, and individuals. The four major parties that garnered the most votes were the Indonesian National Party (PNI), the Indonesian Muslim League (Masyumi), Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), representing three major ideological streams: Nationalist, Islamic, and Socialist-Communist. In this context, the author will analyze the composition of Islamic political parties in the 2024 General Elections to understand how the dynamics of Islamic parties and their representation might influence policy formulation and the direction of governance in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

This research is intended to reveal that traditional knowledge as part of human rights, is the result of innovation and creation of indigenous peoples in terms of knowledge, art, and literature. Traditional knowledge as intellectual property of indigenous peoples is therefore an economic resource that can be utilised for the progress and welfare of indigenous peoples. The research method used is normative juridical with conceptual and statutory approaches. Government efforts in protecting traditional knowledge as intellectual property of indigenous peoples through legislation. Other efforts that can be made are through inventory or documentation of traditional knowledge in an area and can be done by publishing the traditional knowledge as widely as possible. The factor behind the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples has not provided optimal economic benefits for the welfare of the indigenous peoples concerned is the perspective of the indigenous peoples themselves, namely prioritising the public interest, as well as the lack of knowledge to make traditional knowledge into commodities that provide economic benefits.

Abstract

Neoliberal workfare governance policies in Australia, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom have exacerbated inequalities for people with disabilities despite promises of economic growth and personal freedom. This analysis reveals persistent wage disparities, structural barriers, and marginalization faced by individuals with disabilities under market-oriented policies. In Indonesia, efforts to ensure equal opportunities in civil service recruitment have failed due to implementation failures and discriminatory practices. Neoliberal emphasis on market efficiency has prioritized cost-saving measures, perpetuating structural disparities and hindering substantive equality for individuals with disabilities.  In Australia, the ongoing wage gap between disabled and non-disabled workers highlights entrenched biases and systemic injustices in the labor market. People with disabilities face significant challenges in securing stable employment, resulting in lower wages and limited career opportunities. In the United Kingdom, empirical research underscores persistent barriers to employment and lower wages experienced by individuals with disabilities, exacerbated by intersecting forms of discrimination.  Overall, neoliberal policies have not only failed to reduce but have worsened the conditions for individuals with disabilities. Addressing these challenges requires dismantling structural barriers, promoting inclusive policies, and ensuring equitable access to employment and social support systems. Shifting from market-driven approaches to policies prioritizing substantive equality, social well-being, and human dignity for all individuals, regardless of disability status, is crucial. By challenging neoliberal paradigms and advocating for inclusive reforms, society can move towards a future that is fairer and more equitable for individuals with disabilities.

Abstract

Green transportation policies in Indonesia have shown positive progress in reducing the environmental impact of the transportation sector. However, there are still major challenges that need to be overcome to achieve sustainable development goals in transportation. Limited infrastructure, the high cost of green vehicles, and the level of public awareness that needs to be increased are the main focus of this effort. The government needs to expand infrastructure, particularly in building electric vehicle charging stations across Indonesia, to support wider adoption of green vehicles. Active support from the private sector is also important in accelerating the development of environmentally friendly transportation technologies. In addition, consistent and sustainable policy development will provide certainty to investors and industry players to invest in green technology. The high initial cost of green vehicles is a major barrier for consumers. Therefore, appropriate fiscal incentives and subsidies are needed to make green vehicles more affordable and increase their attractiveness in the market. Raising public awareness about the long-term benefits of green transportation is also a crucial strategy through effective education campaigns. With strong collaboration between the government, the private sector, and the active participation of the public, Indonesia can overcome these challenges and achieve green transformation.

Abstract

One of the legal reform agendas in Indonesia is to strengthen the presidential government system by clearly and firmly regulating the reasons for impeachment in the constitution. Article 7A of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia explains that the President and/or Vice President can be impeached for serious offenses such as treason, corruption, bribery, disgraceful acts, and other serious crimes. Considering the extensive powers of the President, it is important to analyze criminal acts further as reasons for impeachment. This research uses a normative juridical approach with descriptive-analytical analysis. Data collection methods are conducted through library research with primary data sources in the form of laws and secondary sources in the form of relevant literature. The research results show that the impeachment mechanism in Indonesia involves the Constitutional Court in assessing the House of Representatives 's accusations against the President, ensuring that impeachment is based on political and legal decisions. Additionally, criminal acts committed by the President can still be pursued in general courts for legal accountability. This aligns with the rule of law principle that ensures everyone is subject to the law without exception. Adjustments by state institutions involved in the impeachment procedure are expected to clarify the implementation of impeachment in Indonesia.

Abstract

Environmental pollution, especially river water pollution, is a crucial issue that has far-reaching impacts on ecosystems and public health. This pollution is often caused by irresponsible industrial activities, as seen in the case between the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia and PT How Are You Indonesia. Through strict law enforcement and the application of the principle of absolute liability, it is hoped that a deterrent effect can be created for the perpetrators of pollution and encourage better protection of the environment. In a verdict that partially granted the lawsuit of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia against PT How Are You Indonesia, the judge found the defendant guilty of water pollution based on the principle of absolute responsibility. The defendant is required to pay compensation of more than 12 billion rupiah and daily forced money of 10 million rupiah if it is late in implementing the decision. Corporate liability for environmental pollution is regulated in Law No. 32 of 2009, but several aspects of the verdict need further review, such as the relationship between strict liability and tort, the clarity of the purpose of compensation, and the importance of applying additional administrative sanctions. In addition, the Act is considered less effective in establishing a commitment to reduce and reverse environmental damage.
