Abstract

Mining in Indonesia is a vital sector that contributes significantly to the economy. However, current regulations still reveals a number of weaknesses that impact environmental sustainability and community welfare. These include weak law enforcement, lack of transparency and public participation at all stages of mining activities, inadequate mechanisms to ensure corporate social responsibility and environmental and post-mining reclamation, provisions that are not responsive to changing social and environmental conditions, further exacerbating the situation. This research uses a normative legal research method with an analytical approach to the provisions of laws and regulations based on facts obtained from secondary sources by paying attention to the credibility of these secondary sources. The main findings of the research reveal that environmental problems arise due to misalignment between mining laws and environmental laws. Environmental laws are not positioned as a command to mitigate the environmental impact of mining, and issues are further compounded by overlapping regulations on mining reclamation. The welfare of the community remains an unfulfilled promise, as environmental economic rights are increasingly eroded by the provisions in Article 162 of Law No. 3 of 2020. The rampant illegal mining activities further harm state finances, exacerbated by the absence of sophisticated infrastructure to monitor mining areas and potential sites in real time using satellite imagery. Additionally, inadequate distribution of corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds has left mining and affected areas without proper support, highlighting the urgent need for CSR regulations in the future be regulated at the legislative level. Furthermore, regulatory efforts to adopt green technology remain insufficient, with a lack of fiscal incentives and investment protection for companies committed to sustainable practices. The situation is further worsened by the lack of transparency in the mining sector, further exacerbates the situation as there is still no clear mechanism to ensure accountability or provide the public with access to crucial mining operation data. Based on the complex mining problems from multi-sectors, the regulatory reform framework must involve authorized government institutions and involve public participation in regulatory reform and the outcomes of the rules formed can accommodate the protection of public participation and protection of public rights in mining, respond to effective law enforcement and provide great contribution to the state, society, and global collaboration.

Abstract

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) officially approved the second revision of Law Number 1 of 2024 on the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (EIT) on January 4, 2024, reflecting the government's effort to align regulations with the rapid development of information and communication technology. While this revision introduces significant changes, particularly Articles 27A and 27B regulate actions that attack a person's honor or reputation. The public views it as a missed opportunity to eliminate existing ambiguities and potential misuse. This research employs normative legal methods with statutory, conceptual and comparative approaches, adopting a descriptive-prescriptive nature. The analysis reveals that the unclear definitions and potential for multiple interpretations of Articles 27A and 27B negatively impact freedom of expression, creating fear and uncertainty among the public, journalists, and government critics. Furthermore, these provisions violate fundamental human rights principles and contradict the 1945 Constitution and the values of Pancasila, which uphold freedom of expression and social justice. Therefore, while this revision reflects an effort to address the challenges of the digital era, further revisions are necessary to ensure that the law not only meets the needs of law enforcement but also protects human rights, freedom of expression, and remains consistent with the 1945 Constitution and Pancasila. This will prevent the law from becoming a tool for suppressing critical voices and journalistic investigations, which are essential to a healthy democratic society.

Abstract

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a process undertaken by financial institutions to identify and verify the identity of their customers. The aim is to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering, fraud and terrorist financing. This Know Your Customer (KYC) model can be used as a strategic framework for financial institutions to prevent misuse of financial services including child sexual exploitation transactions that are rampant. The model emphasizes rigorous customer identification, verification and continuous monitoring of transactions to detect suspicious activity. By carefully understanding customer financial behavior, financial institutions can identify anomalies that may indicate illicit activities, including those related to child exploitation. Globally, financial service providers including major banks such as HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup, as well as digital payment platforms such as PayPal and Stripe exemplify and can play a key role in preventing child sexual exploitation. This research uses normative legal research methods. The nature of this research is descriptive-prescriptive. The result of this research states that in the future, financial institutions can implement strict KYC (Know Your Customer) policies, monitor suspicious transactions, and cooperate with law enforcement agencies from various countries. This comprehensive approach not only helps combat child exploitation, but also improves global regulatory compliance, thus maintaining the integrity of the financial system. The implementation of the KYC model involves collaboration with law enforcement and utilizes advanced technology for efficient data analysis and customer monitoring. Ultimately, this model serves to protect vulnerable populations while upholding ethical standards within the financial sector.

Abstract

Legal pluralism in the resolution of business disputes in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand illustrates the intricate interplay between the particular and the general elements of the national laws, international laws, and other legal systems, which allow for flexibility in resolving disputes, but at the same time brings problems for legal integration and certainty for the business people. This study examines the role of legal pluralism in the resolution of business disputes in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Legal pluralism creates an interaction between national law, international law, and other legal systems, providing flexibility in dispute resolution while also posing challenges to integration and legal certainty for business practitioners. The research approach employed is a legal study focusing on literature regarding legal pluralism and business dispute resolution systems. The analysis method used is normative-qualitative, utilizing legislative, conceptual, and comparative methods. The research findings show that legal pluralism in business dispute resolution in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand offers flexibility but also creates legal uncertainty. In Indonesia, the coexistence of civil, Islamic, and customary law leads to overlapping jurisdictions. Vietnam's state-controlled legal system incorporates arbitration and mediation but struggles with enforcing international awards. Thailand balances civil law with Buddhist-influenced mediation, favoring informal resolution but facing enforcement challenges. While legal pluralism enhances accessibility to justice, its effectiveness depends on legal integration and enforcement mechanisms to ensure certainty and fairness in business disputes.

Abstract

The high influence of the internet plays a role in the increase in criminal acts that use children as the main perpetrators. In legal involvement on the part of the child as a suspect, the law must consider the mental aspects of the child. Children who come into contact with the law are often confronted with the Juvenile Justice System (JJS). The judge’s decision following the trial can have negative effects on the child. Restorative Justice through the implementation of Diversion is a step that law enforcement officials can take to prevent children from facing trial situations. This study aims to examine the implementation of Restorative Justice in juvenile cases and analyze its role in shaping character and safeguarding children’s rights amid the challenges of the digital era. This research used normative legal research by examining literature studies from primary and secondary legal materials. The results of this research indicate that the implementation of Restorative Justice in juvenile cases can be carried out in the Pre-Adjudication stage (investigation and inquiry), Adjudication stage (prosecution and trial), and Post-Adjudication stage (execution of sentences). Meanwhile, the implementation of Restorative Justice in building character and protecting children’s rights can be achieved through the integration of restorative justice principles, including education and awareness, rehabilitation approach, active participation of children, involvement of victims, use of alternative sanctions, collaboration with experts, respecting children, and developing social and emotional skills.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore how society perceives disciplinary law (DL) policies in comparison to traditional criminal law, particularly in terms of criminalization and punishment. To achieve this goal, data was collected through a questionnaire-based survey involving 137 specialized respondents. The survey offers insight into the various aspects of DL, including its clarity, fairness, and effectiveness in deterring administrative violations and promoting discipline. The results indicated that whereas DL seems effective and fair, urgent reforms are necessary, especially in aligning its procedures and sanctions with those of criminal law. Furthermore, the findings highlighted the need for more precise definitions of misconduct and improved procedural fairness to strengthen public trust and enhance the law’s deterrent effect. Statistical tests reveal that respondents’ opinions are not neutral, with a general consensus in agreement with the statements. The study’s findings highlight the pressing need to review and reform the DL structure to confirm fairness, consistency, and impressionability, thereby advancing immediate action.
