Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of government policies on social inequality in Indonesia, particularly through a critical review of regulations that have the potential to harm society. The primary focus of the study is a normative evaluation of the recent Job Creation Law (Law No. 6 of 2023) and other related policies that have sparked public debate regarding social justice and the protection of the rights of vulnerable groups. The method used is normative legal research with a document study approach and critical analysis of regulatory content based on the principles of constitutional law and social justice. The results show that although the 2023 Job Creation Law contains several improvements, government policies still tend to prioritize economic and investment interests, thus perpetuating social inequality due to unfair access to resources and legal protection. Furthermore, minimal public participation in the legislative process strengthens the position of elites and undermines substantive democracy. This study recommends the need for a paradigm shift in public policy towards a more inclusive and socially just approach to guarantee the rights of all Indonesians in accordance with the constitutional mandate

Abstract

The Indonesian government has embraced renewable energy policies as part of its commitment to reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating the effects of climate change. Among these policies is the integration of ethanol into the nation's fuel supply, specifically through blending with Pertamina's fuel. This study investigates the implications and challenges of Indonesia's ethanol blending policy, with a focus on its legal, economic, and environmental dimensions. The research adopts a normative legal methodology, examining existing laws, regulations, and policies related to biofuels and ethanol blending, as well as analyzing key stakeholders' roles in implementing the policy. Through the review of legal documents, interviews with experts, and relevant case studies, the study highlights the benefits of ethanol blending in terms of energy security and environmental sustainability, while also discussing the barriers to its full implementation. The findings suggest that while ethanol blending holds potential for reducing carbon emissions and supporting the local biofuel industry, the policy faces challenges such as infrastructure readiness, cost-effectiveness, and market acceptance. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing the policy's effectiveness and its alignment with Indonesia's broader renewable energy goals.

Abstract

The development of law today reflects significant and complex dynamics driven by rapid technological transformation, social change, and the growing need for adaptive regulation in the digital era. Despite the increasing adoption of digital courts, enhanced data protection regulations, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in legal practice, existing literature indicates limited comprehensive analyses that map these trends in a holistic manner (Gap). This narrative review synthesizes findings from academic publications, policy reports, and recent legal discourse to provide a thorough understanding of contemporary legal developments (Evidence). The review identifies that global legal systems are moving towards automation, transparency, and the protection of digital rights, while simultaneously facing challenges such as algorithmic bias, privacy threats, and disparities in legal access. Based on these insights, this study proposes the need for a responsive, sustainable, and inclusive legal framework that aligns technological innovation with principles of justice and human rights (Proposal). The findings highlight the crucial role of legal scholars and practitioners in shaping laws that can adapt to the complexities of the digital age.

Abstract

Not only limited to individual decisions, it turns out that there are several things that can make female victims of domestic violence reluctant to report the violence they experienced. This study aims to analyze the causes why women victims of domestic violence are reluctant to report their cases. This literature study research found that cultural, gender, and social structure factors are one of the causes of women victims of domestic violence who are reluctant to report gender-based violence problems in the domestic sphere. In addition,  problems of legal culture and institutional capacity that are not yet gender-sensitive, such as limited training of apparatus, lack of integrated assistance services, and the risk of secondary victimization during the legal process strengthen the vulnerable position of victims of domestic violence, making women victims of domestic violence make the decision not to report the domestic violence they experience.

Abstract

The increasing involvement of foreign-language speakers and documents in Indonesian court proceedings has brought renewed attention to the role of court interpreting within the administration of justice. In judicial settings, interpreting does not merely facilitate communication but actively shapes how facts are constructed, understood, and evaluated by legal actors. This article presents an interdisciplinary Critical Literature Review that examines court interpreting practices in Indonesia by foregrounding the relationship between linguistic accuracy and legal integrity in foreign-language judicial proceedings. Focusing on Indonesia-focused primary studies, the review synthesizes findings from applied linguistics and legal scholarship to identify recurring issues in courtroom interpreting, including the procedural status of translated documents, the practical limits of verbatim accuracy, institutional constraints faced by interpreters, and divergent judicial approaches to language compliance. The analysis demonstrates that linguistic accuracy functions as a procedural and epistemic condition rather than a purely technical concern, with direct implications for evidentiary assessment and procedural fairness. At the same time, the review reveals a persistent gap between the epistemic responsibility borne by court interpreters and the limited regulatory and institutional frameworks governing their role in Indonesian courts. The article argues that strengthening legal integrity in foreign-language cases requires clearer standards for courtroom interpreting, improved institutional support, and sustained interdisciplinary engagement between linguists and legal practitioners to ensure that language mediation effectively safeguards due process in Indonesia’s increasingly multilingual judicial landscape.

Abstract

This article examines the impact of Constitutional Court Decision No. 105/PUU-XXII/2024, which restricted criminal defamation claims by institutions under the Electronic Information and Transaction Law. The ruling asserts that only individual persons—not state bodies, corporations, professions, or institutional entities—may file criminal defamation reports. Employing a normative legal method with statutory and constitutional approaches, the study analyses the decision’s implications for public oversight over governmental power, democratic deliberation, and institutional accountability. This paper argues that the decision strengthens citizens’ freedom of expression and the informal mechanism of checks and balances, while also reducing the potential misuse of criminal defamation provisions to silence criticism. However, the effectiveness of the ruling depends on judicial interpretation, harmonisation with other legal frameworks, and the institutional internalisation of democratic norms. The research concludes that although the decision contributes to the protection of civil liberties, a more systematic enforcement strategy, judicial guidelines, and legal reform are required to prevent retaliatory litigation through non-criminal avenues. Furthermore, this study contributes to constitutional scholarship by positioning the decision as a landmark shift from state-centred reputational protection towards citizen-centred constitutional guarantees. It highlights the need for a coherent legal architecture that safeguards critical expression as an essential component of democratic control over power. By mapping doctrinal consequences and practical enforcement gaps, this article offers a framework for evaluating future court rulings and policy reforms related to defamation, digital rights, and state accountability in Indonesia. Thus, the decision not only redefines the boundaries of criminal defamation but also provides momentum for strengthening constitutional democracy through legal culture transformation, legislative harmonisation, and strategic judicial oversight.
