Abstract

Armed conflict, which is a manifestation of violence and hostility, is a cause of loss of life and material damage, having profound as well as long-lasting impacts on environment. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze how International Humanitarian Law (IHL) addresses environmental protection during armed conflict, with a particular focus on Israel–Palestine context. The analysis also examined how environmental damage affected rights of children. A normative legal method was used, relying on literature as well as existing legal instruments, conventions, and scientific interpretations. The results showed that IHL provided a legal framework to protect environment. Major instruments included Additional Protocol I of 1977 and Environmental Modification Convention of 1977, which prohibited methods of warfare causing widespread, long-term, and severe environmental damage. However, these legal norms are often weak in practice because enforcement was limited and there were no binding obligations for some states. In Israel–Palestine conflict, environmental damage resulting had destroyed ecological infrastructure, cutting off access to clean water, sanitation, health services, and educationm all basic rights protected under Convention on Rights of Child (CRC). Children were particularly vulnerable in this situation, facing higher risks of malnutrition, disease outbreaks, psychological trauma, as well as setbacks in survival and development. This study concluded that the gap between legal norms and practical enforcement undermined both environmental sustainability and the protection of rights of children. Strengthening international accountability mechanisms and improving global cooperation were recommended to make environmental protection during armed conflict a concrete and enforceable responsibility that safeguards future generations.

Abstract

Corruption is a major problem in Southeast Asia because it slows down economic growth, reduces public trust, and can destabilize governments. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and analyze how corruption is addressed in Indonesia and Vietnam. A socio-legal method was used by combining normative analysis of anti-corruption rules. Data were obtained from statutory regulations, reports from anti-corruption institutions, journal articles, and international sources such as Corruption Perceptions Index. The results showed that in Indonesia, the fight against corruption was mainly led by Corruption Eradication Law and Law on Corruption Eradication Commission. Following the discussion, enforcement was conducted by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). In Vietnam, anti-corruption efforts were managed under Law on Anti-Corruption and implemented through institutions such as Government Inspectorate and Central Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption Work. Indonesia had comprehensive regulations and an independent institution that played a significant role in investigating, prosecuting, and adjudicating corruption cases. However, changes made to the law in 2019 were observed by many as weakening the independence and effectiveness of the institution. Vietnam relied on a centralized method led by Communist Party through "Blazing Furnace" campaign, which successfully prosecuted high-ranking officials. Its long-term effectiveness remained questionable due to limited judicial independence and transparency. A comparative analysis showed that Indonesia prioritized the rule of law as well as checks and balances. Meanwhile, Vietnam relied on political consistency and centralized decision-making to eradicate corruption. The analysis assumed that successful corruption eradication depended on the synergy among regulations, independent institutions, and sustained political commitment. These included strengthening the independence of institutions, clarifying the authority of different law enforcement agencies, using digital tools to increase public oversight, improving judicial independence, and inspiring greater participation from civil society to promote government transparency.
