Abstract

This study analyzes the legal problem regarding implementing the distinction principle related to drones as military weapons by the United States of America (USA) based on international humanitarian law. The method used in this research is normative legal research. The results show that implementing the distinction principle when the United States of America uses drones as military weapons is not correctly implemented, as international humanitarian law requires. It can be seen from the number of civilian casualties who fell during drone attacks and the destruction of civilian objects. So the USA has been violated the distinction principle of international humanitarian law, so legal liability must be pursued under the international justice system. Also, other states have to follow the principle when using to conform to international requirements, commit to solid criteria for disclosure, monitoring, and accountability, and release regular updates on drone strikes and casualties. Keywords: Distinction principle; International Humanitarian Law; Drones as military Weapon; United States of America

Abstract

This study evaluates the alignment between criminal responsibilities imposed on juvenile offenders in Indonesia and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Specifically, it focuses on the Indonesian Law Number 11 of 2012 on Juvenile Criminal Justice System, which was enacted in accordance with the UNCRC. Through the use of normative methods, this study reveals that there are existing challenges hindering the effective implementation of the UNCRC provisions. Notably, the issue of long-term juvenile detention arises as a significant concern, as it restricts the autonomy and freedom of these individuals. The UNCRC emphasizes that custody should only be utilized as a last resort for young offenders. Therefore, it is crucial for the Indonesian justice system to establish more efficient and effective laws that discourage the imprisonment of juvenile criminals, thereby upholding the principles enshrined in the UNCRC.

Abstract

Law Number 25 Year 2007 on Capital Investment facilitates services and/or licensing of Land Rights to Use for investment. Article 22(a) stipulated that land Rights to Use (HGB) can be granted up to 95 years for land cultivation rights, up to 160 years for building use rights, and up to 140 years for land Rights to Use. However, land Rights to Use regulated in Qanun Number 14 Year 2017 on Aceh's Assets Management is only five years subject to certain conditions and requirements for extension. It is clear that there two legislations available in Aceh in terms of facilitating land license for investment. Therefore, a research question raised is which law is applied by the Government of Aceh to speed the process of land license for the investor? This study uses normative legal research by relying on primary and secondary legal resources. Primary legal resources were collected by analyzing related legislations, while secondary legal resources were obtained by reviewing associated literature. The result shows that in facilitating land license for investors in Aceh, the Government of Aceh applies Qanun Number 14 Year 2017 on Aceh's Assets Management instead of Law Number 25 Year 2007 on Capital Investment. This Qanun stipulated that land license for investors is given for five years with specific requirements for extension. This short period for a land license causes legal uncertainty for investors and decreases their motivation to invest in Aceh Province. It is suggested that this Qanun should be amended to be in line with national legislation, namely law Number 25 Year 2007 that provides a longer period of land license for investors. Keywords: Legal certainty; Land license; Foreign Direct Investment.

Abstract

The responsibility of the receiving state in protecting the diplomatic premises has been regulated in the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. However, disturbances and destruction of diplomatic premises are still common in practice. One of them is the case of infiltration carried out by followers of al Shirazi against the Iranian embassy premise in London on Friday, March 9, 2018. The this paper indicates that the protection provided by the receiving state to the diplomatic representative premises in its country should not exceed the threat capacity or be less than the threat. In the case of lowering the flag of the Iranian embassy in London, this is a form of responsibility given by Britain as the recipient state, namely by arresting the intruders after the incident. However, the actions of the intruders constituted a violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention.

Abstract

Cross-border insolvency is regulated by Law Number 37 of 2004 Concerning Bankruptcy and Suspension of Obligations for Payment of Debt (UUK-PKPU) in Indonesia. This law applies to situations where foreign parties are involved and the case extends beyond national and regional borders. The focus of this article is to examine the treatment of assets located abroad. Indonesia follows the territoriality principle, which means that the debtor's assets in foreign jurisdictions cannot be transferred to other countries unless bankruptcy decisions made by those countries are recognized. This study adopts a normative juridical research method to gather relevant materials such as concepts, theories, laws, and regulations pertaining to the subject matter. Due to the varying rules in each jurisdiction, it is challenging to determine the status of assets located in foreign countries. The key issue lies in whether domestic bankruptcy decisions are acknowledged and enforced in other jurisdictions, and vice versa. In conclusion, Indonesia should consider revising its cross-border bankruptcy laws and entering into international agreements or conventions to address these challenges effectively.

Abstract

Cryptocurrency/Crypto assets has become increasingly popular when the trading industry was sluggish and chaotic due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

It is recommended to Bappebti to immediately establish a Crypto Futures Exchange, Clearing House and Crypto Asset Storage Manager, along with regulating the use of Expert Advisor and Initial Coin Offerings (ICO).

Equally,  the roles of UNHCR, the government, and the health office also be taken into account. The results showed that the role of UNHCR, the government, and the health service in handling refugees has not  optimally run because the shelter provided was not adequate, while  conducting PCR tests, distributing masks and hand sanitizer, and even vaccinating refugees is limited. The national rules related to the vaccination of Rohingya refugees are contained in Article 27 of the 2016 Presidential Regulation on Handling Refugees from Abroad.

There are suggestions to add adequate shelters, provide masks and hand sanitizer, and carry out PCR tests in every activity carried out by refugees under the public health principle. So it should be there is no documentation barriers when public health is demonstrating

Abstract

International law has a vital role in securing more excellent protection for refugee children. There are 82.4 million people fleeing war, violence, persecution, and human rights violations in 2020 globally, 42% of refugees are children under the age of 18. Therefore this study raised the question of what international conventions govern child refugees. This research uses normative research.The results found that the 1951 refugee convention and the 1967 protocol are international arrangements regulating refugee children. Simultaneously, the Convention on the right of Children (CRC) also offers more detailed and comprehensive legal guidelines on child care, including refugee children. Those two conventions have contributed to firm legal protection for child refugees, but there is also a weakness when a country only ratifies one of them. Thus, for legal certainty, a new legal instrument in the form of a convention on the rights of child refugees is needed to fulfill the rights of child refugees properly. Keywords: International protection, International refugee law, Child refugee.
