Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of criminal law in addressing hate speech on social media and to identify the effectiveness of Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions. This study uses a normative juridical approach with qualitative methods, in which data is collected through the analysis of legal documents such as the ITE Law, the Criminal Code, and case jurisprudence from 2020-2023, as well as a literature study of scientific journals, research reports, and comparative data from other countries. The novelty of this research lies in its integrative approach, which combines normative legal analysis with a cybercriminology perspective, resulting in a comprehensive model for handling digital hate speech. Unlike previous studies, which tended to be partial, this study presents a new theoretical framework that explains the unique characteristics of hate speech as a cybercrime and proposes transformative strategies based on the synergy of regulation, technology, and community participation. The results of the study show that the application of criminal law in addressing hate speech on social media faces complex challenges, especially those related to the viral and cross-jurisdictional nature of digital content. Although Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) has provided a legal basis, its effectiveness is still hampered by several factors, including difficulties in proving cases, limited understanding among law enforcement officials, and the rapid dynamics of technological developments. In conclusion, handling hate speech as a cybercrime requires regulatory reform, increased law enforcement capacity, and public education. Prevention efforts should focus on strengthening digital literacy, while law enforcement needs to be optimized through the application of technology and international cooperation.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the mechanism of itsbat nikah (marriage validation) for underage marriages conducted without a marriage dispensation based on Law Number 16 of 2019 and to formulate effective and implementable legal solutions in handling cases of child marriage without dispensation through the itsbat nikah mechanism. Method This research was conducted using an empirical juridical approach, which combines various legal sources and materials. The primary legal sources used include interview results and statutory provisions. Meanwhile, secondary legal sources were obtained from relevant scientific articles. Data was collected through interviews and then analyzed qualitatively to gain a deeper understanding of the legal issues under review. The novelty of this research is that it analyzes the mechanism of isbat nikah without dispensation and underage marriage without dispensation. The results of the study show that even though underage marriage without dispensation is a violation of laws and regulations, the court still provides room for marriage validation under certain conditions. The conclusion of the study is that more massive legal socialization from the government and the active role of all parties are needed to prevent the practice of child marriage that does not comply with procedures.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the strength of legal protection for Tokopedia customers' personal data following the leak of 91 million accounts in May 2020, as well as to explain Tokopedia's obligations and responsibilities as a data controller under PDP Law 27/2022, UUPK 8/1999, ITE Law 11/2008, PP 71/2019, and the breach of contract provisions of Article 1234 of the Civil Code. This study uses a normative legal approach, which involves examining written regulations through laws, scientific journals, and official reports from the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, then analyzing them conceptually and comparing them to assess legal certainty, fairness, and benefits for the community. The novelty of this research lies in combining classical civil law (breach of contract in the Civil Code) with new regulations in the PDP Law to assess Tokopedia's responsibility as a private PSE in the case of the leak of 91 million accounts, something that is still rarely discussed comprehensively in Indonesian literature. The results of the study show that the rules on personal data protection are actually quite strong on paper, but their implementation is still weak because Tokopedia has not maximized its assessment of data protection, encryption, and incident reporting; the public's level of understanding of their personal data rights is still low; and the government's response has only been in the form of warnings, so there is still the possibility of administrative sanctions, fines, or criminal penalties being imposed based on the PDP Law and the ITE Law. The conclusion of the study emphasizes the need to strengthen personal data protection through mandatory information security standards such as ISO 27001, the application of the principle of privacy by design from the outset of system design, the provision of features (dashboards) for rapid data deletion, increased public education, and better coordination between Kominfo, OJK, and the PDP Council so that e-commerce transactions in Indonesia are safer for hundreds of millions of users.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze (1) the legal validity of child witness testimony under Indonesian criminal procedure law, and (2) judicial considerations in Decision Number 50/Pid.B/2023/PN Son. This research employs an empirical (socio-legal) approach with a case study method. Primary data were obtained through interviews with legal practitioners, while secondary data consisted of court decisions, statutory regulations, and relevant legal literature. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis and analyzed qualitatively to assess the consistency between legal norms and judicial application. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated analysis of the conflict between Article 168 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), which limits testimony from family members, and its flexible application in judicial practice, particularly in cases involving child witnesses in premeditated murder. This study also contributes by combining evidentiary theory and psychological credibility analysis in assessing child testimony. The findings reveal that child witness testimony, although formally limited due to age and familial relationship, can still be considered valid when supported by corroborative evidence such as forensic reports and expert testimony. The court implicitly applied a substantive approach prioritizing material truth over rigid procedural formalism. However, judicial reasoning lacks systematic legal justification, particularly in explaining exceptions to evidentiary rules and the weight of each piece of evidence. In conclusion, the admissibility of child witnesses in criminal proceedings is not solely determined by formal legal requirements but also by their probative value and consistency with other evidence. Strengthening judicial reasoning is necessary to ensure both substantive justice and normative legitimacy in criminal adjudication.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the validity of internships conducted without a written agreement, as well as the legal consequences for students participating in the 7th Cohort of the Certified Internship and Independent Study Program (MSIB) at the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI), based on Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 6 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Domestic Internships. This study employs an empirical legal method with a qualitative approach, through an analysis of legislation as secondary data supplemented by primary data in the form of observations and interviews with internship participants. The novelty of this study lies in the analysis of internship practices in state institutions, which have rarely been examined from a labor law perspective, as well as in the empirical findings regarding the absence of written internship agreements in the MSIB program. The research results indicate that internships not based on a written agreement do not meet the formal requirements as stipulated in Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 6 of 2020, and thus cannot be deemed legally valid. Although there is a substantive agreement between the parties, the absence of a written document results in weak legal certainty and legal protection for interns, particularly regarding proof and the fulfillment of rights. Furthermore, pursuant to Article 10 (3) of Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 6 of 2020, such conditions have the potential to change the status of internship participants to that of employees at the relevant institution, which is clearly highly detrimental to the institution organizing the internship. This study concludes that conducting internships without a written agreement violates applicable legal provisions and results in inadequate legal protection for MSIB student participants. Therefore, organizing institutions must comply with the requirement to draft written internship agreements to ensure legal certainty and protection for internship participants.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and patterns of adolescent involvement as drug couriers in Sumbawa Barat Regency, identify the factors influencing adolescents' vulnerability within drug trafficking networks, and assess the effectiveness of law enforcement and prevention strategies implemented from the perspective of child protection and the juvenile justice system. The method of research used is a qualitative approach with a case study strategy thru in-depth interviews with law enforcement officers, field observations, and the study of official documents related to narcotics cases involving adolescents. The novelty of this research lies in its specific focus on examining the position of adolescents as drug couriers in the Sumbawa Barat Regency, which has been minimally studied in the literature on juvenile criminal law in Indonesia. The study's results indicate that law enforcement against juvenile drug couriers still faces various obstacles, including legal procedures that are not yet fully child-friendly, weak rehabilitative orientation, and lack of coordination between law enforcement agencies and rehabilitation institutions. This study concludes that there is a need to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement officers, optimize rehabilitation programs, and consistently apply preventive and restorative approaches so that the handling of drug cases involving adolescents is not only repressive but also capable of sustainably reducing the involvement of adolescents in drug trafficking.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis akibat hukum perceraian karena murtad terhadap hak asuh anak (hadhanah) serta mengkaji pertimbangan hakim dalam penyelesaiannya di Pengadilan Agama. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan studi kasus pada Putusan Nomor 0117/Pdt.G/2016/PA.Prgi. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi antara perspektif hukum Islam, hukum positif, dan praktik peradilan dalam menentukan hak asuh anak pada kasus perceraian karena murtad. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa murtad tidak serta-merta menjadi alasan perceraian dalam hukum positif Indonesia tanpa adanya ketidakrukunan rumah tangga. Dalam hal hadhanah, hakim lebih mengutamakan kepentingan terbaik bagi anak dibandingkan faktor agama semata. Hak asuh anak yang belum mumayyiz dapat tetap diberikan kepada ibu meskipun murtad, dengan pembatasan tertentu guna menjaga perkembangan akidah anak. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa akibat hukum perceraian karena murtad tidak hanya berdampak pada putusnya perkawinan, tetapi juga melibatkan pertimbangan kompleks terkait perlindungan anak yang mengedepankan prinsip kemaslahatan.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the liability of air carriers for the payment of fines for flight delays under Law No. 1 of 2009 on Aviation, as well as the implementation of compensation payments by airlines operating at Sorong City’s Deo Airport. The research method employed is normative legal research using a statutory approach. The data types utilized include primary and secondary data. The Novelty of this study lies in its focus on the concrete implementation of airlines’ liability in providing compensation for flight delays at Sorong City Deo Airport. Furthermore, it examines the gap between legal regulations (das sollen) and their practical implementation (das sein), particularly regarding legal certainty and the protection of passengers’ rights in cases of flight delays. The research findings indicate that airlines are responsible for providing compensation for losses incurred by passengers due to flight delays in accordance with statutory regulations. However, the carrier may be exempted from liability if it can prove that the delay was not caused by its negligence. Additionally, passengers who suffer losses due to flight delays have legal recourse by filing a claim or lawsuit against the airline. Compensation is actively provided by authorized parties, such as the general manager, station manager, or staff designated by the airline. The conclusion indicates that the airline’s liability for flight delays is clearly regulated in Law No. 1 of 2009 on Aviation and Minister of Transportation Regulation No. 77 of 2011, specifically Article 10(a) through (c), so that the provision of compensation to passengers is a legal obligation that must be fulfilled by the air carrier in accordance with applicable regulations.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine juridically the urgency of establishing the Honorary Court of the People’s Consultative Assembly (Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat / MPR) as an ethical supervisory body in order to strengthen a clean, accountable, and integrity-based constitutional system. The method applied is a normative juridical approach through analysis of laws and regulations, relevant legal decisions, and ethical principles as stated in MPR Decree Number VI/MPR/2001. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the MPR, which unlike the House of Representatives (DPR) with its Honorary Council, has not yet institutionalized an ethical body, thus leaving a legal and institutional gap that requires urgent attention. The findings of this study show that the establishment of the MPR Honorary Court is a crucial need to create an ethical supervision system that is both preventive and repressive toward its members, thereby enhancing institutional accountability. In conclusion, the existence of such an institution is expected to strengthen the legitimacy and public trust in the MPR’s representative function, with the main recommendation being the drafting of internal regulations that define the structure, authority, and working mechanisms of the Honorary Court as an integral part of legislative institutional reform.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Sorong City Police in combating and preventing criminal acts to reduce crime rates in Sorong City, as well as to identify the obstacles encountered in its implementation. The method used is an empirical legal study, employing a field-based approach through in-depth interviews with the Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) of the Sorong City Police and analysis of crime data from 2021 to 2024. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of post-pandemic fluctuations in crime rates in the specific region of Sorong City, as well as its evaluation of the effectiveness of an integrated strategy combining conventional repressive measures with a Restorative Justice approach at the city police department level. The results of the study indicate that the Sorong City Police have implemented preemptive, preventive, and repressive strategies in an integrated manner, as evidenced by a stable crime clearance rate above 80% despite significant fluctuations in the number of reported cases. The conclusion of this study is that although police efforts have been optimal in law enforcement, the overall effectiveness of crime prevention is still hampered by limitations in human resources, infrastructure, and the economic conditions of the community that fuel crime. More intensive collaboration between the police, local government, and community leaders is needed to strengthen the communaity safety system.
