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.

Abstract

This study examines the relevance of village cooperatives from a human rights perspective, particularly in fulfilling economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR) in rural communities. Using a normative legal research method, this study analyzes statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and human rights principles at both national and international levels. The findings indicate that village cooperatives, as community-based economic institutions grounded in the principles of mutual cooperation and economic democracy, have strong potential to function as instruments for the realization of human rights. Village cooperatives contribute to the fulfillment of economic rights by providing access to capital, employment opportunities, and market participation, thereby improving community welfare and reducing poverty. In addition, they support social and cultural rights through the provision of basic services, strengthening social solidarity, and preserving local cultural values. However, the effectiveness of village cooperatives remains constrained by challenges such as limited managerial capacity, restricted access to resources, and the lack of integration of human rights principles into cooperative governance. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening village cooperatives through a human rights-based approach by enhancing institutional capacity, improving policy support, and promoting active community participation. By doing so, village cooperatives can serve as strategic instruments for achieving inclusive, equitable, and sustainable rural development

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has introduced deepfake technology, which is capable of manipulating audiovisual data with high realism. While this technology offers creative utility, its misuse for synthesizing non-consensual pornography, political disinformation, and character assassination severely violates an individual’s right to reputation. This study examines the civil and criminal liabilities of AI deepfake platform providers under the Indonesian legal framework, specifically Law No. 1/2024 (Second Amendment to the ITE Law) and Law No. 27/2022 on Personal Data Protection (UU PDP). Using a socio-legal research method, this study analyzes how textual legal norms interact with the digital behavior of platform providers and the psychological and social vulnerabilities of victims. The results indicate a significant normative gap: current regulations primarily target the individual creators or distributors of deepfake content, while platform providers escape liability by hiding behind the "safe harbor" doctrine. Sociologically, this legal vacuum fosters a culture of impunity and exacerbates digital gender-based violence. This paper argues for a paradigm shift from passive moderation to active algorithmic accountability. Platform providers must be held civilly liable under Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code for systemic negligence, and criminally liable under the corporate fault doctrine for failing to implement mandatory digital watermarking and proactive content filtration systems.

Abstract

Restorative justice has become part of Indonesia’s criminal procedure reform through Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code. This study examined law students’ understanding of victims’ rights protection and their perceptions of the distinction between voluntary reconciliation and pressured settlement in restorative justice proceedings. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved two law students from universities in Malang selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews and analysed through data reduction, data display, thematic categorisation, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that both participants viewed restorative justice as a process that should prioritise victim recovery, offender accountability, and the restoration of social relationships. Victims were regarded as active rights-holders entitled to information, meaningful participation, legal assistance, protection from intimidation, and material and non-material recovery. Both participants rejected the view that a signed peace agreement automatically proves voluntary consent. Voluntary reconciliation was associated with informed and freely given consent, whereas pressured settlement involved direct threats and indirect influences, including family persuasion, community expectations, economic vulnerability, institutional pressure, emotional exhaustion, and unequal social status. The study concludes that restorative justice should be assessed by whether victims are genuinely heard, protected, restored, and able to decide independently.

Abstract

This article comprehensively examines the role of the state in realizing social justice through the harmonization of law and public policy in Indonesia. The main focus of this research is on agrarian policy, specifically examining the problems of absentee land ownership (guntai) which clashes with the social, economic, and bureaucratic realities of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). Through a juridical-normative and comparative approach, this article explores the effectiveness of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program and a review of Islamic law (Maslahah Mursalah and Maqashid Syariah) in responding to agrarian inequality. The analysis is then expanded across themes by examining the negligence of bureaucratic governance following the abolition of the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN) ahead of the 2024 Regional Elections. As a conceptual bridge, this research also integrates the issue of protecting vulnerable groups within the framework of the Sexual Violence Crime Law (TPKS), as well as the ecological dilemma resulting from resource exploitation (nickel downstreaming and the implementation of PLTSa to reduce carbon emissions). This paper concludes that substantive justice can only be achieved if the state is able to eliminate discriminatory regulations, tighten bureaucratic oversight, prioritize human rights, and adopt precise technological integration (such as Artificial Intelligence in maritime governance and land registration).
