Abstract

The phenomenon of suicide in Bali is a complex issue that has not only psychological dimensions, but also social, cultural, and legal dimensions. This study uses a socio-legal approach to examine how suicidal behavior is understood and handled within the framework of customary law and in the context of the local wisdom of the Balinese people. By highlighting the traditional village as a place to ensure community welfare, this paper reveals how values ​​such as communal values ​​of society, the values ​​of karma phala, Tri Hita Karana, and Tat Twam Asi play a role in shaping social responses to suicide. This study also identifies opportunities and challenges in building a suicide prevention system that is contextual and culturally just.

Abstract

Rechterlijk pardon is not explicitly mentioned in the nomenclature of the National Criminal Code, however, substantively / implicitly the arrangement is in Article 71 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, so that it is sufficient to provide legal certainty for judges in its application. This arrangement, it is possible to apply in the case of medical marijuana. As a response to public discourse and the dynamics of law and the development of science as well as the solution of creating a balance between fair law enforcement and recognition of urgent medical needs. Without leaving the integrity of the applicable law, carried out with the precautionary principle, and having true accountability. In addition, applying rechterlijk pardon in medical marijuana cases is an important step supported by the principles of humanity and human rights. By giving judges discretion to consider the individual circumstances of the accused, the judiciary can contribute to substantive justice. The criminal law implications of medical cannabis use in Indonesia create complex challenges but also offer opportunities for reforms that can improve access and protection for patients. By addressing legal uncertainty and inherent stigma, Indonesia can develop more humane policies and be responsive to public health needs. Constructive dialog between policymakers, legal experts, and the public is essential to balance law enforcement and the need for effective medical care.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the urgency and potential of applying the Economic Analysis of Law Principle by the State Attorney of Indonesia in its capacity as Dominus Litis in handling corruption cases, in this case in the Government Procurement sector. This study aims to determine the policy related to the authority of the State Attorney as Dominus Litis in handling corruption cases in government procurement. This research is a normative legal study, as well as a case approach using illustrations of corruption cases related to government procurement of goods and services. This approach aims to build the author's legal argument through a review of cases related to the issues to be examined in this paper. Therefore, this research uses a descriptive approach in the form of prescriptive research. The results of this study are the existing conditions of the role of the Public Prosecutor as Dominus Litis to be applied in handling corruption cases in government procurement of goods and services, because the Public Prosecutor has been ineffective in considering the economic value of a prosecution policy. The repositioning of the role of the Public Prosecutor is necessary so that they do not only focus on formal and material evidence, but also consider the social and economic costs. The implications of the Economic Analysis of Law approach reveal that efforts to recover state losses and long-term prevention are more important than current criminalization.

Abstract

Indonesia has faced various problems regarding the fulfillment of targets in energy development until now. Dependence on non-renewable energy is still high, causing the adequacy of energy reserves, especially in Indonesia, to still be highly dependent on the development of exploration. The legal rule of the authority of the regency/city local government to manage energy requires consistency in its implementation as stipulated in Article 14 paragraph 1 of the Local Government Law states that the determination of the division of government affairs in the fields of forestry, marine, and energy and mineral resources is divided into two, namely the Central Government and the Provincial Regions, in this case it clearly negates the autonomy of the Regency/City Regional Government. The authority of the provincial local government in the management of renewable energy Currently, the legal rules governing the authority of the central government in energy management are contained in Article 14 paragraph (1) and paragraph (3) of the Local Government Law. The authority of the regency/city local government in the management of renewable energy, the legal rules that regulate the authority of the provincial local government in energy management are contained in Article 26 paragraph (2) of the Energy Law. The lex specialis set of provisions or norms must be at a level (hierarchy) that is the same as the lex generalis set of provisions or norms. So it is clear that the City Government has the authority, namely attribution authority that comes directly from the legislation, because it is sourced directly from Article 26 paragraph 3 of the Energy Law.

Abstract

One of the government's important policies in the renewal order is the implementation of regional autonomy which is useful for increasing the prestige of the region in the form of subsidies and plays an important role in managing regional financial and revenue potential. Basically, empowering with a larger share is directed at the goal of exploring all the existing potential, both natural and natural resources of the community, to improve the regional economy with insight into growth and income distribution. The principle of implementing regional autonomy in Indonesia is broadly organized, factual and accountable. Expanded autonomy is the regional decision-making power to complete governance including the government in all areas of government except for powers in foreign policy, defense and security, justice, monetary and finance, religion and other areas of authority regulated by government regulations. In addition, autonomy includes full authority to unite in operations from execution to execution with evaluation. The real meaning of autonomy is regional decision-making, implementation of government authority in certain areas that actually exist, needs, growth and development in the region. Meanwhile, the meaning of responsible autonomy is in the form of realizing responsibility as a consequence suffered by the regions to achieve the goals of autonomy, in the form of improving services and better social protection, developing a democratic, just and equal life and maintaining harmonious relations between the center and regions, as well as between regions. to maintain the unity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Regional autonomy policy, starting with the promulgation of Law no. 22 of 1999 became Law no. 23 of 2014 is the government's highest effort to find the local government formula that best suits the expectations of the whole community, but in the implementation process, many factors influence it. And to achieve optimal results still requires time and effort. But we have to be optimistic that at least the process of changing management of modernizing local government has started.

Abstract

Serious human rights violations occurred in Indonesia despite the approval of several international human rights documents. Victims including their families and descendants have known suffering and loss. To this day, there are still many victims who have not received their rights. International law holds states accountable for the dignity of victims as individuals. This journal will look at approximately respecting victims' rights to effective and fair remedies and analyze the application of international human rights law in Indonesia in the field of respecting the rights of victims of gross human rights violations . The study was conducted using normative methods that collect and analyze information from various reading sources. The results showed that the right to know the truth (right to true), the right to justice (right before justice), the right to reparation and non-recidivism guarantees (guarantees not repeated) are one type of rights in the context of Transitional justice/Transitional justice must be returned to the victims. These rights are interrelated, so this should really be done. Concrete efforts have been made by Indonesia by establishing human rights courts to handle the cases of East Timor, Tanjung Priok and Abepura. Other attempts have been made in creating legal regulations. In fact, Indonesia only records and adjusts part of the rights. No current law encourages effective implementation, it is difficult to implement. So we must evaluate and review the existing legal provisions so that victims ' rights are fully recognized and easy to apply.
