Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has enabled new forms of child sexual exploitation, including sexual grooming conducted through live-streaming platforms. This phenomenon demonstrates not only the heightened vulnerability of children in cyberspace but also the limitations of national legal frameworks in addressing crime patterns characterized by anonymity and online financial transactions. This study employs a combined normative and empirical juridical approach to provide a comprehensive understanding of online grooming cases in Indonesia. The normative component analyzes statutory provisions, child protection laws, and digital platform regulations to identify the intended legal protections for children. The empirical component complements this by collecting first-hand insights through semi-structured interviews with law enforcement officers, representatives of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), digital platform operators, and victim support companions. The integration of these approaches reveals gaps between legal norms and enforcement practices, particularly regarding institutional constraints, reporting mechanisms, and socio-technical challenges faced in case handling. The findings show that grooming through live streaming involves complex psychological manipulation facilitated by platform features that allow perpetrators to maintain anonymity. Current regulations do not explicitly recognize online grooming as a distinct criminal offense, nor do they adequately address anonymous electronic transactions commonly used in this crime. Court decisions also illustrate inconsistencies in legal application due to the absence of specific norms governing technology-based grooming. These findings highlight the urgency of reformulating national legal policies by introducing explicit criminal norms on digital grooming, strengthening penalties for online media–based sexual crimes, and regulating anonymous online transactions. The study further recommends enhancing the role of digital financial institutions and technology platforms in prevention, monitoring, and reporting mechanisms. In addition, community-based education and preventive interventions are essential to complement law enforcement efforts and create a safer digital environment for children.

Abstract

Legal disruption has been reported to significantly change judicial practice. Therefore, this study aims to explore 2 problem topics, namely 1) how the era of legal and technological disruption affects the profession of judges in carrying out their duties as case deciders, and 2) how is the adaptability of judges in Indonesia in facing the era of legal disruption to ensure their role and function remain relevant. The study procedures were carried out using the normative-empirical legal method, where secondary data were obtained using literature studies. Subsequently, data were enriched with empirical data obtained through field studies. The results showed Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data could be integrated into the judicial system as a transformative solution due to the limited number of judges in Indonesia. The integration was expected to improve the efficiency, consistency, and unity of law enforcement. The profession of judges was required to carry out a transformation that was not only technical but also philosophical. In addition, the Supreme Court Technical Education and Training Center was expected to create an ecosystem where technology could be used as an instrument to improve the quality of Indonesian judges decisions. This could be achieved through hybrid curriculum strategies, inclusive infrastructure, and adaptive regulations.

Abstract

This study is driven by the ongoing challenges in royalty management arrangements for copyrighted songs and regional music, despite the existence of relevant regulations. In this context, the issues originated from the public’s limited understanding of copyright infringement, as well as a lack of awareness regarding the rights of songwriters and regional musicians to receive royalties. In some cases, songwriters and musicians resort to informal or underhanded agreements concerning the use of respective songs. Therefore, this study aims to thoroughly examine the royalty management policies for copyrighted songs and local music in Indonesia, to emphasize the urgency of royalty management in the sector, and to explore the issue from a human rights perspective. In order to achieve the stated objectives, a normative study approach was utilized, adopting both a legislative approach and legal concept analysis. The obtained results showed that royalty management policies for copyrighted songs and regional music were regulated under Government Regulation 56/2021, implemented through National Collective Management Institution (Lembaga Manajemen Kolektif Nasional/LMKN) and Collective Management Institution (LMK). The management of royalties is very important, as it provides benefits not only to creators and related stakeholders but also contributes to the development of music in society. Furthermore, royalty management, as an expression of economic rights, was recognized as part of ECOSOB human rights.

Abstract

Adopting international legal instruments and judicial models is critical for developing countries to better handle the increasing complexity of juvenile delinquency. These instruments and models formulate frameworks to balance the need for public safety with the rights and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. This qualitative study aimed to exploit the secondary resources by employing a structural approach of comparative law methods and the most-similar and most-different systems design to propose the best strategy for addressing the rising complexity of juvenile delinquency in developing countries, taking Vietnam as a representative example. The results indicate that a hybrid approach prioritizing the Restorative and Welfare models for long-term rehabilitation, supported by Retributive measures in cases where deterrence is necessary, is likely the most practical solution in developing countries. While Restorative justice offers community-led resolutions and the Welfare model tackles root causes of delinquency, these require long-term investment and systemic support. In contrast, Retributive justice provides immediate responses but fails to resolve the deeper issues that drive juvenile delinquency. The research implications can help policymakers and justice systems in developing countries make informed decisions, considering the cultural, economic, and social context to effectively formulate a juvenile justice system that combats and prevents troublesome juvenile delinquency.

Abstract

The “offshore economy” constantly dwells in the spotlight of the world community. That creates a number of challenges for the sphere of legislative regulation and assumes the necessity of the implementation of unified international rules into national regulation. This work answers the question of how tax havens affect the tax legislation of individual national legal systems. The study shows the directions and prospects for combating tax evasion through the use of tax havens and concealment of income in offshore corporations. Using political and legal analysis method the paper examines changes in legislative regulation related to tax law under the influence of the offshore zones development and current political and legal responses to the existing challenges associated with tax evasion via tax havens, including in the UK, the EU, and Russia. The research gives grounds to say that at present the OECD action plan BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) forms the basis for reforming the relevant legislation not only in the OECD countries, but also outside it. At the same time, in the considered countries, there is a tendency to tighten legislative regulation in terms of business transparency as well as openness of information about the ultimate beneficiary.

Abstract

Counterfeit integrated circuit (IC) products have been traded illegally in Indonesia due to a lack of public awareness of intellectual property rights (IPR) and inconsistent law enforcement. Irresponsible parties have produced fake ICs in the form of imitation goods, illegally imported from China to Indonesia—an issue that appears to be a further implication of the global technological trade war. Due to prohibited modifications, a gray zone exists between the classification of bootleg and counterfeit products, even though both are fake. Bootlegs are “inspired-products” protected by registered brands and industrial designs, which makes them more challenging to investigate than counterfeits that directly replicate the original. As a result, the proof aspects differ. It is essential to differentiate between counterfeits or bootlegs to enforce the appropriate sanctions and protect ICs in Indonesia. Using a normative research method, this legal research analyzes the differentiation between bootleg and counterfeit ICs and the legal protection of integrated circuits in Indonesia through statutory and conceptual approaches. This paper recommends the urgent need for a definitive classification to facilitate proof and the imposition of sanctions. Futhermore, the Indonesian government should revise Law No. 32 of 2000 by adding regulations regarding priority rights, enabling foreign IC rights holders to be better protected in Indonesia. Law enforcement efforts against counterfeit and bootleg ICs must also be supported by Indonesia’s commitment to participate in the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
