Abstract

This paper aims to examine how the position of humanitarian intervention in international law, especially the United Nations Charter and how it is implemented in the international community. In order to understand this, this research begins by explaining the meaning of intervention, then continues with examining the position of humanitarian intervention in international law. In relation to the implementation of humanitarian intervention, this paper describes the conditions for carrying out humanitarian intervention within a State and how to regulate the use of armed force and the principle of non-intervention in the UN Charter. Based on these matters, it can be concluded that humanitarian intervention is the use of armed force with the aim of stopping gross violations of human rights or international humanitarian law that occur within the territory of a country. However, until now there is no international legal instrument that specifically and explicitly regulates this issue

Abstract

The problem of illegal logging is actually a very complex matter, because it is not only related to the law enforcement or juridical aspects, but also related to economic, sociological and cultural aspects. This illegal logging practice is generally carried out by individuals who actually have official permits from the Indonesian government to carry out logging on land, such as holders of Forest Concession Rights (HPH) concession permits. The type of research in this study is empirical legal research. The types and sources of data used are primary data and secondary data. The role of the Forestry Service in overcoming illegal logging practices in the Umanen area, West Atambua District, Belu Regency is carried out with two handling approaches, namely the preventive approach, namely the approach to the community, empowering the community, and reforestation (replanting bare forests). The repressive approach, namely conducting operations, and imposing severe sanctions on those who violate. Obstacles in overcoming Illegal Logging include legal obstacles, geographical factors, lack of law enforcement facilities and infrastructure, weak coordination between law enforcers, and community human resource factors.

Abstract

Juvenile theft represents a pressing issue within the criminal justice system, requiring a distinctive approach that balances legal accountability with the imperative of child protection and rehabilitation. This study aims to examine and analyze the legal considerations employed by judges in rendering verdicts against children who commit theft, with a specific focus on a case adjudicated by the Class IA District Court of Kupang. Utilizing a normative juridical method, the research applies statutory and case-based approaches. Data were collected through literature review and the analysis of court decisions. The findings reveal that judicial considerations extend beyond the formal legal requirements outlined in Article 362 of the Indonesian Criminal Code. Judges also evaluate non-juridical aspects such as the child’s family background, age, education level, remorse, and recommendations from the Correctional Center (Balai Pemasyarakatan). The verdicts rendered prioritize rehabilitative and developmental outcomes over punitive measures, reflecting a restorative justice model. This approach aligns with the best interest of the child principle, as mandated by Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The study underscores the importance of a child-centered legal response that not only addresses criminal accountability but also fosters reintegration and future development. It calls for consistent application of rehabilitative justice in juvenile cases to ensure both legal certainty and humane treatment of child offenders.

Abstract

The management of evidence is a crucial aspect within the criminal procedural law system, ensuring the legality and continuity of judicial processes. This study examines the implementation of evidence management at the Kupang City Police Resort (Polresta Kupang Kota) in accordance with the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) and relevant regulations, while analyzing the responsibilities of investigators in handling such evidence. Employing a juridical empirical methodology, the research integrates normative legal analysis with empirical data collection through interviews and document review. Findings indicate that evidence management at Polresta Kupang Kota encounters significant challenges, including limited storage facilities, inadequate maintenance budgets, and predominantly manual administrative processes. The absence of a dedicated Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for evidence management leads to inconsistent practices, potentially undermining the accountability and integrity of the evidence. Moreover, delays in administrative approvals, particularly for the destruction of perishable evidence, pose risks to evidentiary value and public safety.Consequently, the study recommends developing comprehensive SOPs, implementing digital record-keeping systems, and strengthening internal and external oversight mechanisms. These measures aim to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and legal compliance of evidence management processes, thereby safeguarding the rights of involved parties and upholding the rule of law within the criminal justice system.

Abstract

This research analyzes the juridical review of the crime of human trafficking, using the court decision Number 178/Pid.Sus/2021/PN KPG as a case study. The study focuses on two main aspects: (1) how criminal sanctions are applied to perpetrators of human trafficking, and (2) how the panel of judges considers legal reasoning in sentencing the perpetrator in this case. This research employs a normative-empirical juridical method. The data used are secondary data obtained through literature studies on relevant laws and court decisions.The findings show that the judge chose the third indictment to be applied to the defendant, which refers to Article 6 of Law Number 21 of 2007 on the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. The defendant was proven to have fulfilled all the elements of the crime. In their consideration, the panel of judges sentenced the defendant to five (5) years of imprisonment and ordered restitution of Rp500,000. However, the verdict reveals a discrepancy with Article 6 of Law Number 21 of 2007, which stipulates that imprisonment and fines are cumulative. In this case, the judge imposed only imprisonment without any fine. Therefore, in issuing a verdict, the panel of judges must thoroughly consider all aspects to avoid potential errors that could lead to injustice.

Abstract

The implementation of the legal responsibility of animal owners towards victims of rabies dog bites in Belu Regency is de jure regulated by Articles 1365 and 1368 of the Civil Code. However, de facto, this system experiences systemic dysfunction due to various structural and socio-cultural obstacles: (1) Internal factors of animal owners—as seen from the low level of education among owners (50% only have elementary/junior high school education) related to a lack of knowledge about the law (66.7% do not understand legal obligations), an indifferent attitude (“bites are not considered a serious problem”), and negligence in supervision (dogs are allowed to roam without vaccination); (2) External factors—consisting of difficulties in proving animal ownership (lack of dog identification), minimal access for victims to reach legal mechanisms (66.7% of victims do not know the reporting procedure), and weak supervision from the government (incomplete socialization, lack of firm sanctions); (3) Systemic impact—only 33.3% of victims received accountability (customary treatment/mediation costs), but 50% of animal owners refused to accept responsibility, leaving victims trapped in a justice vacuum that worsens the potential for a rabies outbreak. Sustainable solutions are needed through multidimensional interventions: application of administrative sanctions, legal education based on culture, and cooperation between agencies (Livestock Service, Health Service, and Police). Without this synergy, victims will remain the most disadvantaged party in a legal system that is not yet functioning optimally.

Abstract

Dispute resolution is not solely conducted through the state's formal legal channels, but is more often settled through customary mechanisms that prioritize family values and social balance. This study aims to understand and analyze the dispute resolution process according to Lamaholot customary law, the role of traditional leaders in resolving disputes, as well as the relevance and effectiveness of such customary law in the context of modern society. This research employs a qualitative method with a juridical-sociological approach. Data were obtained through literature review, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and local community members, as well as direct observation of customary dispute resolution practices in accordance with Lamaholot traditions. The findings reveal that dispute resolution under Lamaholot customary law involves stages such as family deliberations, customary meetings, and ultimately, traditional peace rituals. The process is aimed at restoring social harmony and preserving the dignity of the disputing parties. It not only resolves the issues materially, but also addresses them morally and spiritually. The study concludes that Lamaholot customary law still holds strong normative authority and can coexist with the national legal system in resolving disputes. This customary law reflects local wisdom that must be preserved, maintained, and integrated into the development of an inclusive national legal system rooted in the cultural values of the community.

Abstract

Criminal liability for the perpetrator of the crime of rape committed by a father against his biological child is determined based on the fulfillment of the elements of actus reus (act) and mens rea (evil intent). Therefore, the author conducted this study with the following objectives: 1) To find out and analyze the punishment of the father as the perpetrator of the crime of rape against his biological child based on Decision Number 113/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Kpg. 2) To find out and analyze the Judge's Decision Number 113/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Kpg in providing justice to the victim. This study uses a normative legal research type by examining laws and court decisions. The sources of legal materials used are primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials which are then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the study show that although the perpetrator was legally proven to have committed the crime of rape against his child, the panel of judges did not impose an additional sentence of one third of the main sentence which should have increased the sentence because the perpetrator was the biological father of the victim's child. In fact, the actus reus element has been fulfilled through the crime of rape committed by force, and mens rea has also been seen from the perpetrator's intention and knowledge of the victim's status as his biological child. The absence of an additional one-third sentence reflects that justice for child victims has not been fully fulfilled in providing protection for child victims.
