Abstract

This study analyzes Al-Mawardi’s concept of leadership as presented in Al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyyah and evaluates its relevance to Indonesia’s democratic system. Al-Mawardi emphasizes that a leader must possess justice, wisdom, courage, and a strong sense of responsibility in carrying out leadership duties. He also highlights the importance of law enforcement, public welfare, and the appointment of competent officials as the foundation of a stable government. This research employs a library research method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The primary source is Al-Mawardi’s work, analyzed alongside relevant literature on fiqh siyasah and Indonesia’s governance system. The findings indicate that several of Al-Mawardi’s leadership principles, such as justice, public welfare, and the supremacy of law, align with the values of Pancasila and the principles of democracy in Indonesia. However, fundamental differences exist in the selection mechanism of leaders, the authority of institutions involved, and the process of dismissing a head of state. Al-Mawardi’s concept prioritizes legitimacy based on religious and individual expertise, whereas Indonesia’s democratic system emphasizes public participation and structured institutions. In conclusion, Al-Mawardi’s thoughts remain relevant as a conceptual reference for developing leadership that upholds justice and prioritizes public interest. However, their application in a modern democratic system requires reinterpretation to align with Indonesia’s evolving political and legal dynamics.

Abstract

Indonesia's strategic position not only provides advantages in trade and economic aspects but also makes the country an important point in global migration flows. Many asylum seekers travel to Indonesia, some as a transit country or settling here, even though Indonesia has not ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention. This research will attempt to analyze, from a legal-political perspective, the protection of refugees' rights to education in Indonesia. Although Indonesia has yet to ratify the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol, Indonesia as a State Party is bound by various international human rights instruments, including the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, that guarantee the right to education for each child, including refugee children. But in the field of implementation, refugees' educational rights are limited by national policies which are more concerned about security aspects rather than human rights. The Presidential Regulation No. 125/2016 on Management of Refugees from Abroad mentions no discussion related to refugee rights, including the right to education. Purpose of this research is to analyze existing regulations related to the protection of refugees' educational rights and obtain access to challenges in its implementation at the national level. Material and Methods Normative approach, where materials are reviewed from literature with regard to national and international laws and regulations. Discussion The research findings show that access to formal education by refugees in Indonesia is very limited. Most refugees do not have student identification numbers, which makes them non-existent in the national education system. Other obstacles include community anxiety over social and economic impacts caused by their presence. The study, therefore, recommends that policy improvements for inclusivity, coupled with increased collaboration at the level of government, international organizations, and local communities, will ensure that the rights of refugees to education are met in keeping with international standards.

Abstract

This study highlights the conflict between judges’ constitutional right to strike and their professional ethical code demanding integrity and neutrality in judicial duties. Using a normative approach through regulatory review, case analysis, and international policy comparison, this research finds that while the right to strike is acknowledged in Article 28E of the 1945 Constitution, its application to judges presents significant challenges. Judges, as enforcers of justice, have a responsibility to uphold the profession’s dignity, and engaging in strikes for salary demands risks eroding credibility and public trust. The findings show that strikes by judges in Indonesia often breach ethics as stipulated in the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Judges’ Conduct (KEPPH), where such actions are viewed as prioritizing personal interests over judicial duties. Comparative studies indicate that judges’ involvement in similar actions may harm public perception and disrupt institutional stability. As a solution, this study recommends stricter regulations on judges’ work rights and limitations, along with comprehensive welfare policies to meet judges’ economic needs without compromising professional ethics. With clear regulations, a balance can be achieved between judges’ constitutional rights and the obligation to maintain judicial integrity and public trust.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions Against Protected Wildlife Trade in Sorong City To find out the obstacles in the application of Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions Against Protected Wildlife Trade in Sorong City. This type of research is normative juridical research, data sources in this research are primary data and secondary data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. Data obtained by library techniques and analyzed descriptively quantitative. The results showed that (1) Positive law in Indonesia distinguishes between “wildlife” and “pets” to protect biodiversity. Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number P.20/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/6/2018, there are 794 species of animals and 130 species of plants that are protected. Exploitation of protected wildlife is considered a criminal offense, as stated in Article 302 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code which stipulates penalties for animal protection offenses. (2) Based on interviews with police officers in Sorong, it is known that there are law enforcement efforts against the trade of endangered animals, which involves cooperation between the Sorong Police and the Natural Resources Conservation Center (BKSDA) to ensure animal protection. This effort reflects an active role in implementing animal protection and raising awareness of animal welfare, which is part of moral norms. The effectiveness of law enforcement is also influenced by the structure, substance, and culture of law, in accordance with Lawrence Friedman's theory, as well as the five factors of legal effectiveness according to Soerjono Soekanto. This research shows that strengthening the substance of the law through criminal sanctions can provide a deterrent effect and prevent rare animal trade crimes, but structural and cultural improvements are still needed to achieve optimal success.

Abstract

This research aims to determine and analyze the implementation of Pinrang Regency Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2018 which amends Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2011 concerning Entertainment Tax, with a focus on efforts to increase local original income. Apart from that, this research also aims to understand the factors that influence the effectiveness of implementing these Regional Regulations. This study applies a normative-empirical research approach. This study applies data analysis through a qualitative descriptive approach, which aims to describe or photograph an issue related to existing patterns and challenges. Then, the researcher presents information that has been collected from literature research and interviews, which can be used as a reference in solving problems. The findings from this research indicate that the implementation of Pinrang Regency Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2018 regarding Entertainment Tax in order to increase Regional Original Income (PAD) is still not optimal. Several factors that influence the effectiveness of implementing these regulations consist of internal, external, regulatory and legal culture factors. Internal factors include limited human resource capabilities and infrastructure, such as a lack of training for officers and a lack of technology that supports the tax system. External factors include low awareness and involvement of business actors in the entertainment sector, the economic situation at the local level, and geographical constraints that complicate the monitoring process.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of law enforcement against perpetrators of gambling crimes and the efforts that can be made to combat gambling practices in Sorong City. The method used in this study is sociological or empirical legal research, which views law as behavior that exists within society, not merely as legal norms. The study reveals that gambling has negative impacts that harm the morality and mentality of society, particularly among the younger generation. The novelty of this research lies in its in-depth analysis of the need for cross-sectoral cooperation and the utilization of information technology in law enforcement in the digital age. The results of the study indicate that law enforcement against gambling in Indonesia requires an effective, fair, and sustainable system, as well as the need for specific regulations such as Law No. 7 of 1974 on Gambling Control and Government Regulation No. 9 of 1981. This study concludes that to combat gambling-related crimes, an approach involving inter-sectoral collaboration, increased public legal awareness, and the application of advanced information technology is needed to support more effective and efficient law enforcement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of modern retail on the sustainability of traditional markets in Parepare City, focusing on economic and social aspects. The study method used is a normative-empirical approach, which combines legal analysis of government policies and direct observation of policy implementation. The research location is focused on the Lakessi Traditional Market in Parepare City, with the research subjects being traditional market vendors and modern retailers. Data collection techniques include interviews, literature review, direct observation, and documentation, with descriptive-qualitative analysis to describe the existing phenomena. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on traditional market protection policies in Parepare City, which involves analyzing the implementation of the latest regulations related to business licensing restrictions and zoning, as well as the role of local government in strengthening traditional markets through empowerment and revitalization programs. The results show that the presence of modern retail has had a significant impact on traditional markets, particularly in terms of a decline in small traders' income. Before the development of modern retail, the average daily income of traditional market traders reached IDR 6,000,000, but after the development of modern retail, this figure decreased by about 20% to IDR 4,000,000 per day. Nevertheless, the Parepare City government has implemented various regulations to maintain a balance between traditional markets and modern retail, such as distance restrictions, business permit restrictions, and traditional market empowerment. In conclusion, although the development of modern retail has made a positive contribution to the regional economy, its impact on traditional markets is quite significant.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of village head elections in Lalasa Administrative Village, Pulau Panjang Subdistrict, East Seram Regency, by examining its compliance with legal provisions, particularly Law Number 6 of 2014, Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 112 of 2014, and Regional Regulation Number 5 of 2017. The research approach uses a qualitative method with primary data sources through field observations and in-sdepth interviews with relevant parties, as well as secondary data through literature review. The analysis is conducted using a descriptive-qualitative approach to describe the factual conditions and compare them with the applicable legal norms. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the gap between formal legal procedures and customary practices in the election of village heads, which is rarely discussed specifically in the context of administrative villages in the Maluku region. The results show that although some formal stages, such as the formation of an election committee, have been carried out in accordance with the rules, the practice of appointing village heads in Lalasa Village is still dominated by customary mechanisms in the form of direct appointment based on lineage without voting. This has resulted in limited political participation of the community and the potential for a decline in the legitimacy of village leadership. In conclusion, harmonization between positive law and customary law is necessary so that village administration can be carried out democratically, transparently, and in accordance with regulations, while still respecting local wisdom.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a legal education strategy based on Legal Design Thinking to enhance Generation Z's understanding of food safety risks in the e-commerce environment. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a literature and conceptual approach, the research analyzes the application of Legal Design Thinking in legal education related to innovative food products. The novelty of this study lies in the use of Legal Design Thinking as a visual, participatory, and user-centered legal education strategy, an approach that has not been comprehensively explored in previous research. The findings indicate that this approach can transform legal education into a more inclusive and adaptive model tailored to the digital characteristics of Generation Z. By integrating user empathy, legal visualization, and technological innovation into a problem-based design process, Legal Design Thinking simplifies complex regulations into easily understandable information while promoting active engagement of young people as legal subjects. In the context of e-commerce, this approach bridges the legal communication gap and fosters a culture of consumer protection grounded in collaboration and sustainable digital legal literacy. In conclusion, Legal Design Thinking is a strategic innovation that should be adopted by relevant institutions and educational bodies through cross-disciplinary collaboration and the use of digital media.
