Abstract

This research critically describes the evolving tension between the principle of non-intervention and the newly arising norm of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) under international law. While state sovereignty has long been considered the pillar of the international order, increasing numbers of mass atrocities and humanitarian crises have prompted international actors to reassess their obligation to intervene where states fail to protect their citizens. This study undertakes a doctrinal and qualitative analysis of significant international legal instruments, case studies such as Libya and Syria, and scholarly writings to ascertain the normative and legal validity of humanitarian intervention and R2P. It analyzes the legal basis of the principle of non-intervention, the ethical grounds for humanitarian intervention, and the practical application of R2P through international organizations such as the United Nations. The research also explores the issue of operationalizing R2P, including selectivity, political manipulation, and inconsistency in state practice. The research demonstrates that while R2P offers an attractive normative framework for responding to mass atrocities, its enforcement is thwarted by geopolitical interests and the lack of binding legal status. The findings of the research demonstrate a clear need for reform of the international legal system and a more robust institutional commitment to balancing state sovereignty with humanitarian obligations, thereby conducting interventions within a legal, consistent, and accountable framework.

Abstract

Kemajuan pesat dalam transaksi pasar keuangan digital telah mempercepat penyebaran skema Ponzi global, yang menimbulkan ancaman serius bagi negara-negara berkembang seperti Indonesia. Artikel ini meneliti perkembangan skema Ponzi yang melibatkan mata uang kripto, platform perdagangan daring, dan komunikasi terenkripsi yang memungkinkan pelaku menipu investor lintas negara. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hukum dan institusi di Indonesia dalam menghadapi skema Ponzi transnasional. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah hukum doktrinal, dengan analisis terhadap kasus-kasus penipuan besar yang terjadi antara tahun 2020 hingga 2025, serta tinjauan terbatas terhadap hukum pidana, hukum perbankan, hukum pasar modal, dan undang-undang anti pencucian uang di Indonesia. Meskipun Indonesia memiliki dasar hukum yang memadai untuk menuntut pelaku skema Ponzi, proses hukum menghadapi berbagai kendala, termasuk keterbatasan yurisdiksi, kemampuan forensik digital yang belum optimal, serta tantangan kerja sama lintas negara. Lembaga-lembaga pengatur di Indonesia seperti Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) dan Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan (PPATK) telah melaporkan beberapa langkah awal, seperti pembekuan aset utama kelompok pelaku dan upaya koordinasi investigasi. Namun demikian, masih terlihat adanya kekurangan dalam kesiapan dan kapasitas teknologi. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa reformasi hukum, investasi pada infrastruktur forensik keuangan, kolaborasi internasional yang erat, serta peningkatan kesadaran publik akan sangat penting untuk memperkuat upaya Indonesia dalam memberantas skema Ponzi digital lintas negara dan melindungi investor domestik.   The dramatic advancement of digitized financial market transactions has enhanced the dissemination of global Ponzi schemes, leading to serious threats to developing nations like Indonesia. This paper investigates the development of Ponzi schemes involving cryptocurrencies, online trading platforms, and encrypted communications in ways that allow them to defraud investors across borders. The aim is to analyze the Indonesia's laws and institutions to deal with the transnational Ponzi schemes. A doctrinal law approach, with case analysis of 'high profile' frauds occurring between 2020 and 2025, combined with a limited capacity to examine the country's criminal law, banking law, capital market law and anti-money laundering laws, leads to the investigation's conclusions. Despite Indonesia having sufficient legal foundations to prosecute Ponzi schemes, any legal proceedings will struggle against many hurdles, including the lack of jurisdiction, digital forensics capabilities, and cooperation across borders. Indonesian regulatory agencies like the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) reported they have taken some initial steps in freezing the groups major assets and working on coordination of investigations, but it is evident there are degrees of inadequacies of preparedness and technological capacity. The paper finishes with a conclusion that legal reforms, investment in financial forensic infrastructure, critical international collaboration, and raising public awareness will facilitate Indonesia's efforts to disrupt transnational digital Ponzi schemes and protect Indonesian investors.

Abstract

Kemajuan pesat Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK), khususnya penyebaran luas internet dan Kecerdasan Buatan (Artificial Intelligence/AI), telah mengubah tatanan masyarakat global secara fundamental. Meskipun perkembangan ini menawarkan manfaat yang signifikan, hal tersebut juga menimbulkan tantangan yang kompleks terhadap hak atas privasi dan perlindungan data pribadi. Studi ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif untuk mengkaji kerangka hukum dan budaya yang mengatur privasi data di era digital. Penelitian ini menganalisis peraturan perundang-undangan dan bahan hukum yang ada untuk mendefinisikan serta mengklasifikasikan ruang lingkup hak privasi di tengah revolusi digital. Lebih lanjut, penelitian ini menelaah persinggungan antara regulasi hukum dan nilai-nilai budaya, dengan argumen bahwa digitalisasi global tidak hanya memerlukan mekanisme hukum yang tangguh, tetapi juga pemahaman yang mendalam mengenai implikasi budaya. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerangka hukum saat ini harus beradaptasi dengan evolusi AI yang cepat dan sifat ekonomi digital yang tanpa batas, sembari tetap menghormati beragam pendekatan budaya terhadap privasi. The rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), particularly the proliferation of the internet and Artificial Intelligence (AI), has fundamentally transformed global society. While these developments offer significant benefits, they pose complex challenges to the right to privacy and personal data protection. This study employs a normative legal research method to examine the legal and cultural frameworks governing data privacy in the digital era. It analyzes the existing legislation and legal materials to define and classify the scope of privacy rights amidst the digital revolution. Furthermore, this research investigates the intersection between legal regulations and cultural values, arguing that global digitalization requires not only robust legal mechanisms but also a profound understanding of cultural implications. The findings suggest that current legal frameworks must adapt to the swift evolution of AI and the borderless nature of the digital economy while respecting diverse cultural approaches to privacy
