Abstract

The Honorary Board of Election Organizers (DKPP) is an election organizing body tasked with handling violations of the code of ethics of election organizers. DKPP is a state institution established by law. As a state institution that organizes elections, DKPP has the authority to examine, call, sanction and decide on violations of the code of ethics of election organizers. This authority is implemented through a judicial process such as in general courts, namely the process of examining reporting witnesses, reported witnesses, expert statements, validation of evidence, and reading of the verdict. The DKPP's decision is final and materially binding. The trial of violations of the code of ethics held by the DKPP and added to having the nature of a final and binding decision makes the DKPP in several judicial body decisions referred to as a quasi public court, while in the Constitutional Court decision the DKPP is interpreted as a single function of organizing the Election together with the KPU and Bawaslu, meaning that the DKPP is an election organizing institution.Based on this, this study formulates the problem formulation, namely how is the position and authority of the DKPP as a state institution that organizes elections that functions as a quasi public court? This research is a normative legal research whose nature is descriptive and from the perspective of its form is a prescriptive research. This research uses a legislative, conceptual, historical, conceptual, and comparative approach. The research results conclude that the DKPP is an election organizer in the form of an auxiliary state organ that is independent. The DKPP has the authority to enforce the code of ethics of election organizers which in character is almost the same as a general court. The DKPP's decision is final and materially binding. Based on this, the DKPP as a state institution that organizes elections can be called quasi ethical court of  public nature.

Abstract

Coal mining in Barito Timur Regency, Central Kalimantan, significantly contributes to the economy but also negatively impacts the environment. Mining activities have caused water pollution, landscape changes, land degradation, and disruptions to the surrounding communities. This study aims to analyze the accountability of coal mining companies for environmental damage based on criminal, civil, and administrative law aspects. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method. The findings indicate that regulations concerning corporate accountability are outlined in various legal frameworks, such as Law Number 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management and Law Number 3 of 2020 on Mineral and Coal Mining. Criminal liability allows companies and their management to be prosecuted for violations. Meanwhile, civil liability requires companies to compensate for damages and restore affected environments, while administrative liability includes sanctions such as warnings, fines, and business license revocations. Despite the existing regulations, law enforcement implementation remains weak due to insufficient supervision and corporate non-compliance. Therefore, enhanced government oversight and active community participation are necessary to ensure adherence to environmental regulations. With appropriate measures, a balance between resource exploitation and environmental preservation can be achieved, ensuring ecosystem sustainability and community well-being.

Abstract

This article explores the historical role of old tax documents, particularly the Letter C Book, as crucial references in land registration processes in Indonesia. The background highlights the legal challenges in proving land ownership in areas where formal certificates are absent, emphasizing the significance of Letter C as a traditional land record maintained by village authorities. Using a normative legal research method, the study analyzes regulations and historical practices governing the use and recording of Letter C documents, focusing on their reliability and legal standing amid evolving land registration laws. The research finds that while old tax documents provide strong indications of land rights, the absence of formal certification necessitates urgent registration to secure legal ownership. Furthermore, the study identifies risks of forgery due to inconsistent record-keeping and recommends procedural reforms for validating Letter C entries. Ultimately, the article concludes that integrating old tax documents into formal land registration is essential for legal certainty and land tenure security.
