Abstract

This study aims to analyze the extent to which national mechanisms for combating corruption align with international mechanisms, particularly in the context of Iraq. The research focuses on the harmonization between national laws and oversight institutions with international conventions ratified by Iraq, such as the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) 2003. The research methodology employs an analytical approach by examining international treaty texts and national laws, as well as a comparative approach to assess the alignment between international agreements and domestic legislation. The findings indicate that although Iraq has made efforts toward harmonization through the ratification of international conventions and the enactment of anti-corruption laws, challenges remain in their implementation. These challenges include weak governmental institutions, political party interference, and a lack of public trust. This study recommends strengthening oversight institutions, enhancing transparency, and increasing public participation in the fight against corruption.

Abstract

This study examines the issue of child labor in Iraq within the framework of international agreements and national laws. The research aims to identify the causes behind the prevalence of child labor, analyze human rights perspectives on the issue, and evaluate the stance of Iraqi legislation in addressing the problem. The study employs a descriptive and analytical methodology by reviewing international conventions related to children's rights and Iraqi labor laws, particularly the Iraqi Labor Law and the Constitution. The findings indicate that despite the presence of legal frameworks prohibiting child labor, enforcement remains weak due to economic and political instability. The study highlights that poverty, armed conflicts, and inadequate law implementation are key factors driving child labor in Iraq. While Iraq has ratified international agreements and enacted laws to regulate child employment, many provisions remain ineffective in practice. Strengthening law enforcement, enhancing social protection, and improving access to education are crucial to addressing this issue.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of the controversial budget efficiency policy implemented by the Indonesian government in 2025, focusing on the education and health sectors. Through in-depth analysis, this study reveals how policies aimed at reducing waste have the potential to hinder the realization of the goal of developing superior and healthy human resources. Budget cuts in the education sector raise concerns about disrupted access to education for the underprivileged, declining quality of education, and threatening the welfare of educators. Meanwhile, budget cuts in the health sector have the potential to reduce people's access to adequate health services, especially in remote areas. This study also highlights the plan for the Minerba Bill which grants permission to universities to manage mines. This policy, which is claimed as an alternative funding solution for universities, raises questions about academic independence and the potential shift in the function of education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Victims of human trafficking experience an abstract position because, in criminal law, the disadvantaged party is the community. The Restitution that victims of human trafficking should receive is also not received by them. This article analyzes the factors causing the unpaid restitution rights for victims of human trafficking using normative and descriptive-analytical research methods to answer this problem. Four main factors cause unpaid restitution for victims of human trafficking, including the incompetence of law enforcement in handling cases involving restitution, the amount of restitution exceeding the perpetrator's financial ability, the lack of case development by the police so that only field actors are arrested while intellectual actors are not, and the difficulty of collecting evidence. The government's failure to guarantee the payment of restitution impacts the victims and the community because there are no legal consequences for perpetrators who do not pay restitution. The current legal framework exacerbates this because of the limited definition of human trafficking and the inclusion of restitution as an additional punishment. This has implications for perpetrators who prefer to serve imprisonment rather than pay Restitution, which can reach tens of millions of rupiah.

Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of exploring the influence of foreign ownership on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices, to what extent the impact is positive or negative. This research uses descriptive analysis methods with a quantitative approach. The research results show that foreign ownership plays an important role in encouraging companies to adopt stricter CSR practices that align with international standards. This research reveals that foreign ownership plays a crucial role in encouraging companies to adopt stricter CSR practices that align with international standards. Companies with foreign ownership are more likely to allocate greater resources to CSR initiatives and collaborate with external stakeholders. The laws of the Republic of Indonesia, particularly the Investment Law, provide an important legal basis to encourage Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), but its effectiveness depends on various factors, including law enforcement, oversight, and the awareness of all parties. It is important for companies with foreign ownership.

Abstract

Judicial interpretation within Indonesia’s criminal justice system presents a complex challenge, particularly with the implementation of the new Criminal Code (KUHP) under Law Number 1 of 2023. The new Criminal Code incorporates legal pluralism, including customary law (living law), creating a tension between the principle of legality and substantive justice. In practice, judges struggle to balance legal certainty with interpretative flexibility to align legal decisions with societal values. This study aims to analyze judicial interpretation patterns in Indonesia’s criminal justice system following the enactment of the new Criminal Code and to identify factors contributing to judicial inconsistencies. Using a normative legal approach combined with legal hermeneutics, this research examines how judges apply legal provisions through an analysis of legislation, court rulings, and relevant legal theories. The findings indicate that most judges still adhere to legal positivism, prioritizing legal certainty, although sociological and teleological approaches are increasingly applied in certain cases, particularly those involving restorative justice. However, inconsistencies in judicial rulings remain a concern due to judicial subjectivity, political pressure, and public opinion. Strengthening legal hermeneutic methodologies in judicial education and developing more binding legal precedents are essential steps to improving judicial consistency and public trust in Indonesia’s criminal justice system.

Abstract

Death penalty is often associated with human rights violations, especially since the Amendment of the 1945 Constitution or the Indonesian Constitution Article 28 A which states that “Every person has the right to live and the right to defend his/her life and livelihood”. However, death penalty is needed to fulfill the people's sense of justice as a demand for security and tranquility. Death penalty can be a shock therapy for criminal offenders to create a deterrent effect as well as to create fear for the community so that people do not commit acts that are punishable by death penalty, especially narcotics crimes. The Supreme Court (MA) as an Indonesian judicial institution has annulled the death penalty for narcotics factory owner Hanky Gunawan. In the Judicial Review (PK) decision, Hanky was only sentenced to 15 years in prison on the grounds that the death penalty violated the constitution. This certainly raises the pros and cons related to the direction of Indonesia's law enforcement system in the future

Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim and purpose of examining and seeing the extent of the role of advocates as law enforcers who have a role in providing services and legal assistance to judicial institutions, especially in the Religious Courts. This research uses normative legal type methods, namely research that obtains legal materials by collecting and analysing legal materials related to the problem to be discussed through a statutory approach, namely Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Advocates. Advocates as law enforcers are recognised through Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Advocates as a follow-up regulation to the constitution which confirms that Indonesia as a State of Law is obliged to uphold the rule of law. The results showed that the role of advocates as a law enforcement profession in the Religious Courts can provide positive value in providing legal aid considering that the Judiciary, especially the Religious Courts, has absolute competence and relative competence in cases that certainly require the role and assistance of advocates to assist litigants in fighting for their rights in court. In addition, advocates have a very important role in handling certain types of cases, including: marriage, inheritance, wills, grants, waqf, zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and sharia economics.
