Abstract

This research examines the criminal liability of PT. Simeulue Perkasa Sejahtera (PT. SPS) for environmental damage resulting from forest and land fires in Nagan Raya, Aceh. Utilizing a normative juridical approach, the study analyzes Indonesia’s legal framework, including Undang-Undang No. 32 Tahun 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management, Undang-Undang No. 41 Tahun 1999 on Forestry, and Peraturan Pemerintah No. 71 Tahun 2014 on Peat Ecosystem Protection. Findings indicate that although legal provisions impose strict liability on corporations for environmental harm, law enforcement remains weak and inconsistent. Evidence of fire hotspots within PT. SPS’s concession area failed to result in administrative or criminal sanctions, reflecting broader enforcement challenges such as lack of inter-agency coordination, inadequate forensic expertise, and judicial reluctance. The discussion highlights the importance of attributing liability not only to corporate entities but also to individual actors within the company. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the need for stronger administrative actions and judicial reforms to bridge the gap between law and practice. This research contributes to the discourse on corporate environmental accountability in Indonesia and calls for urgent legal and institutional reforms to ensure environmental justice and uphold international commitments related to climate change and transboundary haze pollution.

Abstract

Smart contracts—auto-executing digital agreements built on DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology), an emerging technology of blockchain—are revolutionizing cross-border payments by enhancing efficiency and automation. However, their widespread adoption is hindered by a fragmented regulatory landscape and legal uncertainties across jurisdictions. Therefore, to promote the urgency of regulatory governance of smart contract, this research advocates for the techno-legal standardization of smart contracts to ensure regulatory compliance in international financial transactions. It investigates how smart contracts can be designed to meet diverse legal requirements while maintaining technical adaptability, scalability, and interoperability. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature and qualitative methods—including expert interviews, surveys, and case studies—the study aims to develop a framework that balances innovation with legal certainty. Key challenges addressed include jurisdictional fragmentation, enforcement mechanisms, integration with legacy systems like SWIFT, and compliance with KYC/AML regulations. The research also examines emerging solutions such as decentralized identity frameworks, trusted oracles, and hybrid on-chain/off-chain models. By bridging the gap between law, technology, and finance, this study offers actionable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, blockchain developers, and international businesses. Ultimately, it contributes to the development of a standardized smart contract ecosystem that supports secure, efficient, and legally compliant cross-border payments.

Abstract

Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) are increasingly promoted as vehicles for addressing complex service delivery challenges, yet their ability to generate sustainable public value remains contested. This study examines how hybrid governance arrangements in South African PPPs shape public value creation, using Public Value Theory (PVT) and integrating it with a hybrid governance perspective. Using a qualitative research design and secondary data analysis, the study applies a thematic approach guided by the Public Value-Hybrid Governance Interaction Model. The findings reveal that public value creation depends less on the formal adoption of hybrid governance structures than on the quality of their operationalisation across four interlinked dimensions: structural (role clarity and institutional alignment), processual (genuine co-production and stakeholder participation), relational (balance between trust and accountability), and outcome (equitable, legitimate, and sustainable results). This ‘less’ refers to a weaker correlation between the mere existence of hybrid structures and public value, compared to the stronger influence of their operational quality, particularly the extent to which they foster inclusive participation, clear accountability, and trust-building practices. Across these dimensions, persistent legitimacy deficits, institutional ambiguity, compliance-heavy oversight, and tokenistic participation weaken feedback loops essential for sustaining public value. Theoretically, the study extends PVT by positioning the trust-accountability equilibrium as a central determinant of value creation in hybrid contexts, rather than a peripheral moderator. Practically, it recommends governance designs that align institutional logics, embed inclusive participation, calibrate accountability mechanisms, and adopt multidimensional performance measures. By operationalising these principles, PPPs in South Africa can move beyond transactional efficiency towards transformative, equity-driven outcomes.

Abstract

One of the important events in environmental law enforcement in Indonesia is the case of PT. Kallista Alam about theburning of peatland in Rawa Tripa, Aceh. Based on the decision of the Meulaboh District Court No. 12/PDT. G/2012/PN.MBO, which was later strengthened by the Banda Aceh High Court and the Supreme Court, the purpose of this study is toexamine aspects of compensation and environmental restoration. The research uses juridical-normative methods, using theanalysis of court decisions. The results of the analysis show that, based on Article 88 of Law No. 32 of 2009, the courtapplies the principle of strict responsibility, which establishes responsibility without proof of error. PT. Kallista Alam wassubject to compensation and recovery of IDR 366 billion, including ecological losses and active recovery. However, manychallenges hinder the implementation of the decision. This includes constant legal remedies and inadequate oversight ofexecutions. Concerning the principles of ecological justice and sustainable development, this decision relies heavily oncooperation between judicial institutions, government, and civil society. Keywords: Environmental Law, Strict Liability, Compensation, Ecological Recovery, Sustainable Development.

Abstract

The settlement of environmental disputes currently uses the principle of Liability based on Fault which requires the plaintiff to prove the element of fault of the defendant. The elimination of the principle of Strict Liability as regulated in Article 88 of Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management brings significant changes in the process of resolving environmental disputes. The purpose of this study is to determine the urgency of implementing the principle of Strict Liability and to analyze the legal implications of eliminating the principle of Strict Liability as an effort to resolve environmental disputes. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statute approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative approach. The purpose of the study is to explain the concept of strict liability and its legal basis, describe civil law in environmental cases, and assess the effectiveness of strict liability in protecting the environment. The principle of strict liability is an important tool in environmental law to enforce responsibility for environmental pollution and damage without having to prove fault. Civil law enforcement can be an effective instrument if supported by a strong judicial system and public awareness.

Abstract

This paper discusses the presumption of innocence principle, which in principle must be upheld in every legal case, especially where the alleged perpetrators are still children who are still in school, whose cases must receive special attention given that they are still developing and are easily influenced and prone to following others without clear reasons. The involvement of children in alleged robbery is a unique phenomenon in the Lhoseumawe area. The involvement of children in robbery cases is sometimes nothing more than a search for identity, as not all of them behave deviantly, but the effects of these actions have become a serious problem. In addition, they are not proven guilty when arrested and prosecuted, so they are returned to their parents. The education sector has its own rules for dealing with delinquent children, so sometimes the decisions made have an impact on the child's own education.

Abstract

Development of electric vehicles (EV) constitutes a transformation of transportation in combating global warming. It also purposes for overcoming increase of premature death of human being because of high fossil fuel consumption in transportation particularly in Indonesia as developing countries. However, the technology application is a challenge for such countries to adopt for usage publicly. The challenge faced by Indonesia is private rights of intellectual property holder affecting barriers for mass production. This article looks for justification for Indonesia’s adoption of transfer of green technology for protection of public health regarding the WTO rule and international conventions concerning on climate change. It uses qualitative methodology with legal-descriptive and normative approach applied. The rule of WTO and international conventions on climate change instruments become primary sources to appraise the justification of the measures. Those are also supported by secondary sources originating from library research to assist in analyzing the research question. Article 31 of TRIPs Agreement regulates that compulsory licensing might be imposed for adoption of technology transfer in circumstances for protection of public health. It could be extensively interpreted that air pollution may threaten health of human being as Doha Declaration 2001 justify flexibility application of compulsory licensing. The UNFCCC and Paris Agreement 2015 mandate industrial countries should contribute development of green technology to developing countries through transfer of technology. Finally, the WTO rules are considered as part of public international law as Panel in the case of US-Gasoline (DS2) provides the rule of WTO should be interpreted as accordance with the objective of international law.

Abstract

Sextortion consists of elements of sexual exploitation and corruption. It occurs when an individual in a position of authority demands sexual favours in exchange for the performance or non-performance of an official duty. In Malaysia, sextortion remains unrecognised as a distinct criminal offence and prosecuted under fragmented statutory provisions such as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (Act 694) or the Penal Code (Act 574). This article adopts a doctrinal legal methodology to examine the adequacy of Malaysia’s current legal framework. It draws comparative insights from Indonesia, where sexual gratification has been interpreted as a form of corrupt benefit under the Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes and the Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (TPKS). The study integrates international and regional literature on sextortion and victim psychology to propose comprehensive reform in Malaysia. The findings suggest that: (1) sextortion should be explicitly included within the definition of “gratification” in Section 3 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009; (2) trauma-informed and victim-centred investigation procedures should be embedded into enforcement practice; and (3) cross-agency coordination between the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), police, and Anti-Sexual Harassment Tribunal is essential. Comparative lessons from Indonesia demonstrate that clear statutory recognition of sexual gratification as corruption enhances accountability and strengthens victim protection in the digital age.

Abstract

This study investigates the socio-economic determinants of juvenile delinquency in Bangladesh, focusing on juveniles documented in police reports in Dhaka. The purpose of the research is to examine how family instability, parental neglect, peer influence, neighborhood insecurity, and financial deprivation contribute to delinquent behavior. A mixed-methods design was adopted, combining structured surveys of 100 juveniles housed in Juvenile Development Centers with in-depth interviews of law enforcement officers, psychologists, and social workers, alongside case study analysis of police records. Results show that 81% of offenders belonged to the 16–18 age group, with 70% being male and 30% female. Educational deprivation was widespread, with 82% having no or only primary-level education. Household income data revealed that 83% came from low to lower-middle- income families, while 76% of parents lacked formal education. Peer influence emerged as a decisive factor, with 83% of juveniles admitting involvement in delinquent activities under the influence of friends. Regression and correlation analyses confirmed significant associations between family structure, income, peer networks, and drug use, while case studies revealed organized recruitment of youth by criminal gangs and political exploitation. The findings underline that juvenile delinquency is not only a matter of individual deviance but also a structural problem linked to socio-economic deprivation and institutional weakness. The practical value of this research lies in its recommendations to strengthen family welfare programs, expand vocational training, improve enforcement of the Children Act 2013, and develop integrated rehabilitation systems aimed at reducing recidivism and promoting safer communities.
