Abstract

Tulisan ini membahas tentang pengaturan sanksi pidana mati bagi pelaku tindak pidana korupsi di waktu bencana alam. Dalam ketentuan Pasal 2 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Perubahan Atas Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi disebutkan bahwa Dalam hal tindak pidana korupsi sebagaimana dimaksud dalam ayat (1) dilakukan dalam keadaan tertentu, pidana mati dapat dijatuhkan. Dalam penjelasan Pasal 2 ayat (2) , yang dimaksud dengan keadaan tertentu adalah keadaan yang dapat dijadikan alasan pemberatan pidana bagi pelaku tindak pidana korupsi yaitu apabila tindak pidana tersebut dilakukan terhadap dana-dana yang diperuntukkan bagi penanggulangan keadaan bahaya, bencana alam nasional, penanggulangan akibat kerusuhan sosial yang meluas, penanggulangan krisis ekonomi dan moneter, dan pengulangan tindak pidana korupsi. Dalam ketentuan Pasal maupun Penjelasan Pasal tersebut terdapat kata atau frasa yang menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum karena memiliki makna ganda yakni kata “dapat” dan frasa “bencana alam nasional” yang masih tidak jelas. Sehingga argumentasi yang dibangun oleh penegak hukum yakni didasarkan bahwa penerapan sanksi pidana mati tidak dapat dijatuhkan bagi pelaku tindak pidana korupsi jika tidak ada status bencana alam nasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua pendekatan yakni pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual yang bersumber dari pendapat ahli hukum, buku-buku dan media massa.

Abstract

Indonesia and Singapore were the founding members of an economic and geopolitical organization of countries in the Southeast Asian region called the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). ASEAN mandates each member country to create regulations and policies related to e-commerce transactions through the 1999 ASEAN Summit. This paper is a normative study and aims to analyse the development of e-commerce regulations in Indonesia and Singapore by utilizing comparative and statute approaches. The result of the study finds out that Singapore has designed its e-commerce master plan since 1998, meanwhile, Indonesia started to develop the master plan related to e-commerce a decade late than Singapore through the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian Economic Development program (MP3EI), which launched in 2011. Indonesia has regulated a few components related to e-commerce, but some are still partial and spread in a few regulations. This paper recommends governments unify all e-commerce components regulations into one act that can cover legal protection and become the basis of procedure regulation related to e-commerce in Indonesia. The usage of the Trustmark stamp and online registration procedure for the e-commerce activities required by Singapore can be enforced in Indonesia as a solution to problems that occur in e-commerce activity in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines marine waste management in Indonesia, focusing on its impact on human rights, justice, and environmental sustainability. The accumulation of waste, particularly plastic, in Indonesia's vast maritime territory, has significant implications for human health, livelihoods, and the environment. As the country relies heavily on marine resources for food security and economic activity, pollution threatens the well-being of coastal communities, often exacerbating inequality and infringing on the right to a healthy environment. The research reveals that plastic waste is the most prevalent type found in Indonesian waters, highlighting the urgency of stronger regulatory enforcement. While Indonesia has regulations, such as Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2018 concerning Marine Waste Management, their implementation remains insufficient. The study stresses the need for more robust policies addressing upstream and downstream waste management while ensuring accountability and equitable resource access. Effective enforcement requires collaboration between government agencies, private entities, and civil society, ensuring that vulnerable communities, especially those dependent on marine resources, are protected. Strengthening these efforts is crucial for the protection of marine ecosystems and advancing human rights and justice by safeguarding the right to a clean and healthy environment for all.

Abstract

This article is an analysis of cases of serious abuse by child perpetrators, which were analyzed normatively using a statutory approach. The results of the analysis show that the age limit for criminal responsibility for children who commit serious abuse cannot be the same because each child has a different development process which affects their maturity in thinking. If the child's age is used as the only basis for consideration in deciding a child's case, then children who are perpetrators of criminal acts who are not yet 12 (twelve) years old cannot be given any sanctions in the form of actions or criminal penalties and to children who are not yet 14 (fourteen) old. years can only be given sanctions in the form of action. It is feared that this will become a legal loophole so that cases of crimes by children will continue to occur. The best interests of the child must be fought for for the child's optimal growth and development, but justice for the community, especially for the victim, must also be achieved, especially if the victim is also a child who must receive protection. Forensic psychologists are needed to assess and provide an overview of the psychological condition of children who have suffered serious abuse. So, when deciding on children's cases, the judge will refer to 2 (two) things, namely the age limit for criminal responsibility for children and the results of forensic psychological examinations. There is a need for reformulation in Article 21 paragraph (1) and Article 69 paragraph (2) of Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System by adding the results of forensic psychological examinations as a basis for consideration in deciding juvenile cases.

Abstract

This study examines the importance of reconstructing the development model for child prisoners through justice-based diversion, focusing on how to better accommodate their right to quality education, as guaranteed by international resolutions, conventions, and Indonesia's 1945 Constitution. The research highlights the need for appropriate educational models that enable child prisoners to reintegrate into society as responsible, law-abiding citizens. Using a normative juridical approach, the study explores literature-based sources to propose a model incorporating formal and non-formal education to enhance the self-competence of child prisoners. The proposed educational model aims to equip children with skills and knowledge, ensuring they can reintegrate successfully into their families and communities after serving their sentences. By aligning educational approaches with the principles of justice, the model offers a pathway to reducing recidivism and improving the long-term prospects for child prisoners. The study emphasises the need for a comprehensive and child-centred development program that reflects the child's best interests and supports their rehabilitation.

Abstract

The unlawful teachings in the explanation of Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption have been considered by the Constitutional Court as a norm that is contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945, and does not have binding legal force. This condition has legal implications for the meaning of unlawful elements in Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption, becoming vague (vague norm). The purpose of this study is to analyze the unlawful teachings in the Law on the Eradication of Corruption in Ius Constituendum. This research uses normative legal research, which formulates the aspired law (ius constituendum) on the meaning of the element against the law (wederrechtelijkeheid) in the Corruption Eradication Law after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 003/PUU-IV/2006. The results of the discussion show that by assessing the basis of the Constitutional Court's legal considerations (ratio decidendi) Number 003/PUU-IV/2006. The cancellation of the explanation of Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption which adheres to the teachings of the nature of the act of violating formal and material laws, because it is considered that the concept of materiele wederechtelijk, which refers to unwritten law, is an uncertain measure.  The unlawful element in Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes is still interpreted as against formiele wedderechtelijkeheid and against materiele wedderecjhtelijkeheid in its negative function. As for its positive function, it must be considered contrary to the principle of protection and fair legal certainty regulated in Article 28D of the 1945 Constitution.

Abstract

The upsurge of insecurity in Nigeria questions the competence of the Nigerian Police Force under the auspice of the federal government to combat insecurity. Some concerns decentralizing the policing powers to states would offer potential benefits in curbing insecurity. This study was designed to interrogate the prospects and possible challenges of the state policing system in Nigeria and contribute to the discourse on security in a heterogeneous country like Nigeria. The study adopted a hybrid research methodology through a fusion of both doctrinal and non-doctrinal methods. Descriptive and analytical approaches were adopted to interpret empirical data collected through the distribution of 1,051 questionnaires to randomly selected respondents to ascertain the prospects and possible challenges of state policing in Nigeria. The study found that the current structure of the Nigerian Police Force can no longer guarantee the safety of the Nigerians. Furthermore, the synthesisation of empirical findings revealed that state policing has the prospect of competently combating insecurity in Nigeria but corruption, and lack of funding amongst others are possible challenges. The study therefore concluded by recommending the amendment of the current legal framework of policing in Nigeria to make way for decentralization.

Abstract

This study examines the application of criminal sanctions to debt collectors involved in withdrawing fiduciary guarantee objects, focusing on their actions in executing such guarantees under Financial Services Authority Regulation No. 35 of 2018. Employing empirical legal research and field data, the study identifies that debt collectors who use excessive methods in seizing fiduciary objects may be liable for criminal acts, particularly under Article 368(1) of the Criminal Code, which covers extortion. The novelty of this research lies in its detailed analysis of the legal implications surrounding debt collector behaviour during fiduciary executions. The findings clarify the legal boundaries and potential sanctions for violations, underscoring the need for stricter enforcement of laws governing debt collection practices. The study recommends stronger legal oversight and the implementation of clearer regulations to ensure debt collectors act within legal and ethical boundaries. Furthermore, the research calls for enhanced public awareness of legal protections for debtors and more rigorous oversight to prevent abusive debt collection practices.

Abstract

This research examines the application of the audi et alteram partem principle by the panel of judges in case Number 123/Pid.B/2022/PN Yyk, focusing on how it influenced the judicial decision-making process. The audi et alteram partem principle, which ensures that both parties in a trial have an equal opportunity to present their arguments and evidence, is central to ensuring justice and fairness in legal proceedings. However, this study finds that the principle was not fully applied in this case, leading to an imbalance in the trial. The research combines normative and empirical methods, including interviews and literature reviews, to explore whether the evidence presented was adequately considered according to the Criminal Procedure Law. Findings suggest that the judges' failure to properly apply this principle resulted in a decision that did not meet the required standard of balance or fairness, ultimately weakening the defendant's position. This research highlights the urgent need for judicial reforms to strengthen adherence to procedural fairness, ensuring that legal decisions reflect the facts of the case and the fundamental principles of justice. The study contributes to the broader understanding of how judicial practices affect the fairness of criminal trials in Indonesia, offering recommendations for improving the application of legal principles in future cases.
