Abstract

Professional ethics are the moral foundation that underlies the behavior and responsibilities of a professional in carrying out his/her duties. In the legal field, the application of professional ethics has a strategic role in maintaining integrity, justice, and public trust in the legal profession. This article aims to analyze the concept of professional ethics in the legal realm and the challenges faced in its implementation in Indonesia. This study uses a normative juridical method with a conceptual approach and case study analysis. The results of the study show that although there have been clear regulations regarding the code of ethics of the legal profession, there are still violations caused by lack of supervision, conflicts of interest, and weak sanctions. To overcome this problem, strengthening regulations, stricter supervision, and ongoing ethics education are needed.

Abstract

Corporate crime, particularly in the form of money laundering, increasingly challenges the integrity of the legal system and the economy by exploiting legal structures, the complexity of financial transactions, and weaknesses in corporate governance. This article provides a normative legal analysis of the construction of corporate criminal liability in money laundering, the main problems in law enforcement, and the direction of strengthening criminal law policy. The method used combines a legislative and conceptual approach by interpreting norms, constructing the doctrine of corporate criminal liability, and reviewing research findings related to the practices of evidence and asset recovery. The results of the study show that the positive legal framework actually provides a basis for prosecuting corporations and their controllers, including through fines, asset forfeiture, business activity restrictions, and other additional sanctions. However, law enforcement practices still face various obstacles, including difficulties in compiling comprehensive indictments, limited capacity for asset tracing and confiscation, weak coordination between institutions, suboptimal disclosure of beneficial owners, and an underdeveloped culture of internal compliance. This article recommends refining the corporate criminal liability model, reorienting the design of sanctions to focus on deterrence and recovery of losses, strengthening the asset confiscation regime, optimizing ownership transparency, and increasing the capacity and synergy between law enforcement agencies and business actors so that the regime for combating corporate money laundering is more effective and sustainable. The theoretical and practical contributions of this paper lie in mapping implementation gaps and offering policy reforms that are more responsive to the nature of modern corporate crime.

Abstract

Government actions can have implications for two legal conditions, namely civil and state administration aspects, which allow the government, under certain conditions, to commit unlawful acts as a legal subject (Onrechtmatige Daad) and unlawful acts as an organization (Onrechtmatige Overheidsdaad). Specifically, this study aims to examine and analyze unlawful acts by the government in the context of civil and state administration. It should provide a comprehensive description of government actions as unlawful acts when the government acts as a legal subject and plays a role as a state institutional organization, thereby distinguishing the actions taken by the government relevant to their legal consequences. This research is descriptive and analytical in nature, intended to provide a substantial overview of the focus of the research by utilizing legal norms, basic theories, and the principles of Good Governance as a basis for crystallizing a valid argument so as to answer the research questions. This study shows that unlawful acts by the government must be understood integrally through two main perspectives: civil law and administrative law. From a civil law perspective, the assessment of unlawful acts is based on the fulfillment of the elements of action, fault, loss, and causality. Meanwhile, from the perspective of administrative law, the assessment is carried out through the parameters of authority, procedure, substance, and the general principles of good governance. This study concludes that unlawful acts by the government are a complex legal phenomenon involving elements of civil and administrative law. The government, as a subject of public law, is obliged to act within the corridor of applicable legal norms, and if it violates the elements of unlawful acts, it can be held civilly liable for compensating the losses suffered by citizens. An inclusive juridical approach to these unlawful acts, which considers not only formal legal aspects but also normative and social aspects, is essential to ensure substantive justice and accountability in government administration

Abstract

The two Bretton Woods institutions, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, have been pillars of global financial governance since 1944. However, entering the 21st century, the relevance of these two institutions faces significant challenges due to globalization. This study aims to analyze the various challenges and criticisms facing the IMF and the World Bank, as well as to disseminate the effectiveness of their reform efforts. Using normative legal research methods through a contextual approach, this paper examines relevant literature and regulations related to the operations of international financial institutions. The results indicate six major problems within these institutions: the unfairness of the quota system, the dominance of developed countries (especially the United States), the lack of representation of developing countries, the controversy surrounding neoliberal loan conditionality, the threat from new regional financial institutions (such as the NDB and AIIB), and the issue of loan resource stability. Although the IMF and World Bank have undertaken reform efforts, such as adjusting loan conditions and increasing general quotas, these changes are deemed to have failed to address the root causes. The dominance of the United States remains a major challenge to the institutions' evolution. This study concludes that fundamental reforms are needed, including a review of the quota system and increased space for developing countries, to ensure the Bretton Woods Institutions remain relevant in maintaining global economic stability in the future.

Abstract

As part of the regional government, the Regency/Municipal Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD) has functions, duties, and authorities. Article 149 paragraph (1) of Law Number 23 of 2014 states that the Regency/Municipal DPRD has the function of forming regency/municipal regional regulations, the budgeting function, and the supervisory function. As representatives of the people, the DPRD has three functions, namely legislation, budgeting, and supervision. Misuse of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) frequently occurs in local governments. The APBD managed by regional governments is vulnerable to misuse, including for the personal interests of regional heads. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze how the DPRD supervises the implementation of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget in Mamuju Regency. The research method used by the author is normative juridical research, which focuses on law as norms, rules, legal principles, legal doctrines, legal theories, and other legal literature to address the legal issues under study. The results of the research indicate that the supervision carried out by the DPRD over the implementation of the APBD in Mamuju Regency faces several obstacles. These obstacles are caused by various factors, including the quality of DPRD members (human resources), such as the level of formal education, knowledge, experience, leadership, expertise, and capabilities of the members. Educational background is an essential factor in determining the quality or competence of a DPRD member. In addition, there is a lack of communication between DPRD members and the community, as well as relatively low public political awareness

Abstract

Four-wheeled Motor Vehicle Tax is one type of tax in Makassar City based on Law Number 28 of 2009 concerning Regional Taxes and Regional Levies and South Sulawesi Governor Regulation Number 90 of 2018 concerning Special Regional Taxes for Motor Vehicle Tax and Motor Vehicle Title Transfer Fee. This policy is stipulated in South Sulawesi Provincial Regulation No. 90 of 2018 concerning Special Regional Taxes for Motor Vehicle Tax and Motor Vehicle Title Transfer Fee. Based on the results of the analysis regarding the provisions for the implementation of the progressive tax for four-wheeled vehicles, it can be explained that there is a strong indication of progressive tax avoidance by taxpayers. This is evident from the continued decrease in the total revenue from four-wheeled vehicle tax after the progressive tax was implemented from 2018-2021. This is because, when the progressive tax was imposed, the progressive tax collection rate was considered too high by the public due to the large tax amount that had to be paid. Consequently, people purchase vehicles without putting them in their own names..

Abstract

Praktik money politics di Indonesia berkelindan dengan politik berbiaya tinggi dan pola patronase-klientelisme, sehingga merusak integritas elektoral dan menurunkan kualitas demokrasi. Pada saat yang sama, uang juga merupakan komponen fungsional demokrasi untuk menopang partisipasi dan kompetisi, sehingga problem kuncinya terletak pada desain dan penegakan regulasi pembiayaan politik (political finance). Artikel ini bertujuan memetakan bentuk kekaburan yuridis dalam rezim larangan money politics, mengurai dampaknya terhadap efektivitas penegakan hukum, serta merumuskan agenda reformasi yang dapat diaudit. Penelitian menggunakan metode yuridis normatif (doctrinal) dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual, didukung telaah literatur serta analisis atas problem pembuktian dan batasan prosedural penanganan tindak pidana pemilu. Hasil analisis menunjukkan empat klaster kekaburan: (i) ketidakjelasan subjek hukum (calon, tim kampanye, perantara, dan/atau partai); (ii) cakupan objek dan stadium pemilihan yang tidak sepenuhnya mengunci variasi modus; (iii) keterbatasan temporal dan standar pembuktian yang tidak proporsional dengan kompleksitas praktik transaksional; serta (iv) ambiguitas kualifikasi delik antara tindak pidana pemilu dan tindak pidana korupsi. Kekaburan ini memproduksi ketidakpastian hukum, memicu disparitas penanganan, dan meningkatkan peluang impunitas. Artikel merekomendasikan penajaman norma (definisi, unsur, dan perluasan subjek), perbaikan arsitektur monitoring/pelaporan pembiayaan kampanye, penguatan pembuktian berbasis bukti elektronik dan jejak keuangan, perpanjangan waktu penanganan, serta opsi pembiayaan publik yang terukur.

Abstract

Transformasi digital telah memperluas aktivitas ekonomi dan komunikasi lintas batas, sekaligus meningkatkan kompleksitas kejahatan siber serta sengketa transaksi elektronik di Indonesia. Dalam konteks ini, pengaturan hukum menghadapi persoalan utama berupa potensi tumpang tindih antara ketentuan umum dalam KUHP dan ketentuan khusus dalam Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE), di samping kebutuhan kepastian hukum atas keabsahan perbuatan hukum berbasis sistem elektronik. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis konstruksi normatif penanggulangan cybercrime, menilai validitas yuridis transaksi elektronik, dan merumuskan arah harmonisasi regulasi yang lebih adaptif terhadap perkembangan teknologi. Penelitian menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual, berbasis bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier yang dianalisis secara kualitatif-preskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) rezim penegakan cybercrime di Indonesia menempatkan UU ITE sebagai lex specialis yang melengkapi KUHP; (2) transaksi elektronik memiliki kekuatan mengikat setara dengan perjanjian konvensional sepanjang memenuhi syarat formil-materiil, termasuk dukungan sistem keamanan dan tanda tangan elektronik tersertifikasi; dan (3) efektivitas penegakan hukum masih terhambat oleh sifat kejahatan siber yang borderless, volatilitas alat bukti digital, serta ketimpangan kapasitas forensik aparat. Penelitian ini menegaskan urgensi harmonisasi norma KUHP–UU ITE secara lebih sistematis, disertai penguatan kelembagaan forensik digital, agar kepastian hukum, perlindungan masyarakat, dan tata kelola ekonomi digital dapat terjamin secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Elections as the foundation of democracy should ensure inclusive participation for all citizens, including vulnerable groups such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and individuals with chronic health conditions. However, the implementation of electoral regulations in Indonesia often fails to address the health needs of these groups. The gap between the ideal national policy and the reality of implementation on the ground remains a serious challenge that has yet to be resolved. This study evaluates the effectiveness of health regulations in supporting vulnerable voters' access during elections. Using a literature review-based qualitative approach, data was collected from academic literature, national policies, as well as previous research reports. Findings show that although some health protocols have been implemented, barriers such as limited medical facilities at polling stations, lack of budget, and low levels of socialization still prevent vulnerable groups from fully participating. One important innovation proposed is the integration of information technology to facilitate access to health information, especially for voters with special needs. This technology can help voters plan their attendance at polling stations in a more health-friendly manner. On the other hand, more concrete solutions include strengthening regulations with clear technical guidelines, specialized training for polling station officers to understand the needs of vulnerable groups, and synergy between central and local governments to ensure adequate resource allocation.

Abstract

This article discusses the existence of victims who should be the main subject of protection, but are often positioned as parties who are also at fault through stigma, moral stereotypes, and biased law enforcement practices where the law is not neutral, but is shaped by the tug-of-war between political and ideological interests that often reproduce social hierarchies and masculine biases in doctrine, standards of proof, and judicial practices. This normative legal research examines the national and international legal frameworks related to victim protection, including the TPKS Law, human rights instruments, and victimology doctrine, to show that victim protection is still abstract and not yet fully oriented towards the recovery and respect for the dignity of victims. Using a CLS approach and feminist critique, this article reveals that claims of legal neutrality often conceal masculine bias, including in standards of proof, testing the credibility of victims, and normalizing accusatory questioning in the courtroom. The results of the study show that the elimination of victim blaming is a prerequisite for procedural, substantive, and transformative justice, and requires an explicit legal reconstruction based on the perspective of victims and gender equality, including through the progressive implementation of PERMA No. 3 of 2017 and Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning TPKS. This article recommends a gender-responsive and trauma-informed approach, synchronization of technical guidelines between institutions, and strengthening of a legal paradigm that places victims at the center of justice, not merely as objects of the penal process
