Abstract

This study critically examines the Indonesian government's policy of granting mining permits to religious organizations, which has given rise to various interpretations and ethical polemics because it is not in line with Law Law Number 3 of 2020 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining (Minerba Law) and Government Regulation Number 25 of 2024 concerning the Implementation of Mineral and Coal Mining Business Activities. This research focuses on analyzing this legal disharmony while evaluating the ethical implications through the perspective of Islamic environmental ethics. With a community service approach based on juridical and conceptual analysis, this study links the theory of law enforcement with Islamic ethical principles, including fiqh al-bi'ah, maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, and the concept of amanah. The results of the study show regulatory inconsistencies and ethical weaknesses in policies that place religious organizations as political-economic actors, thereby potentially weakening their moral authority, neglecting ecological sustainability, and disregarding justice and the public interest. The recommendation that can be offered is the need for policy reform that affirms the role of religious organizations not as economic actors in mining, but as moral and ethical guardians in the management of natural resources. This reform needs to be realized through multi-stakeholder participation, the strengthening of legal instruments that are in line with religious values and environmental ethics, and oversight mechanisms that ensure that mining management is truly directed towards public welfare and ecological sustainability.

Abstract

This study explores the model of fulfilling refugee rights through community collaboration, with a specific focus on the Cisarua Refugee Learning Centre (CRLC) in Indonesia. Refugees, as one of the most vulnerable groups globally, often face significant challenges in accessing their basic rights, including education, healthcare, and legal protection. The research analyzes how community-based initiatives, especially through the CRLC, contribute to the realization of refugee rights in the context of international law, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between refugees, local communities, and international organizations in fostering an inclusive environment for refugees to access essential services. By examining the CRLC's efforts in providing education, skills, and advocacy for refugees, this paper proposes a sustainable model for refugee rights fulfillment that aligns with international legal standards.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has implemented various policies to ensure that higher education management operates in a controlled, structured, and aligned manner with academic norms and national education goals. However, various challenges in the implementation of these regulations, including internal conflicts within foundations, often affect the quality of higher education. This study aims to analyze the impact of internal foundation conflicts on higher education management, education quality, and the achievement of national education goals. Using an empirical legal approach, this research focuses on the role of foundations in managing private higher education institutions in the LLDIKTI Region IX. The analysis is conducted using Good Governance principles involving transparency, accountability, and participation, as well as the theory of Legal Pluralism to understand the relationship between state law and social norms. The findings show that foundations, as nonprofit organizations, face various obstacles due to legal gaps between education providers and implementers. Legal reform is necessary to improve the governance of resources and finances effectively. Legal reforms emphasizing transparency, accountability, and financial sustainability are critical solutions to optimizing the management of private higher education. Governance transformation of foundations is urgently needed for private higher education to sustainably achieve the goals of national education

Abstract

This community service is designed to help “Yayasan Persaudaraan Anak Negeri” (Persadani), a Semarang-based foundation comprised of former terrorism convicts, actively engaged in deradicalization efforts. The main issue that is faced by Yayasan Persadani is that there has not been a systematic program to help them in the deradicalization and social reintegration process. Moreover, the lack of religion-based moderation approaches to support deradicalization caused a challenge in preventing them from returning to the radical networks. Yayasan Persadani also faced the lack of a curriculum that is suitable for the life skills of the members and a continuous psychosocial support. School of D-RAD was offered as a solution to those challenges. The School of D-RAD functions as a training hub for the deradicalization of terrorism ex-convicts, assisting 10 participants in their rehabilitation process. It has 3 main programs which are, Religious Moderation Education, Ideological Rehabilitation, Psychological Support with Social Stigma Reduction, as well as Role-Playing and Anti-Radicalism Educational Games. The output target for this activity are, A publication in accredited national scientific journal; A news report on electronic/mass media; a video report of the activity on youtube; and copyright. The expected outcome of this program includes of the hope that the creation of School of D-RAD will be a place for deradicalization, empowerment, the participant’s increased understanding in the religion moderation values for ex-terrorism convicts.

Abstract

In today’s world, beauty and self-care have become essential aspects of daily life, making cosmetic products an integral part of modern society. Beyond enhancing appearance and self-confidence, cosmetics have become a medium for personal expression. However, consumer purchasing decisions are often influenced by social media, market trends, and sustainability values, while awareness of consumer rights and product safety remains relatively limited. One important aspect of cosmetic safety is the Period After Opening/PAO indicator, which specifies the period during which a cosmetic product remains safe to use after it has been opened. This community service activity aimed to improve public understanding of the importance of PAO information and promote greater awareness of consumer rights and safe cosmetic use. The program was implemented using an empirical legal approach supported by qualitative methods, including educational activities, surveys, and interviews to identify participants’ perceptions and levels of understanding regarding PAO information. The results revealed significant disparities in PAO literacy between individuals with higher educational backgrounds and those with lower levels of formal education, indicating unequal access to essential information related to cosmetic safety. The activity demonstrated that educational interventions can enhance public awareness of PAO indicators and encourage more informed and responsible consumer behavior. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening public education initiatives and regulatory oversight to ensure consumer protection and promote the safe use of cosmetic products. This community service contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals/SDGs, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through the promotion of safer cosmetic practices, SDG 4 (Quality Education) by improving public literacy on cosmetic safety and consumer rights, and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by encouraging informed purchasing decisions and responsible consumption of cosmetic products.

Abstract

This community service aims to strengthen the legal protection of Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs) in North Sulawesi against unauthorized commercial utilization by improving stakeholders' understanding of communal intellectual property (IP) protection and enhancing readiness for inventory and documentation. The program adopted a participatory legal community service approach involving needs identification, legal counseling, interactive discussions, and evaluation with local stakeholders. The needs assessment identified two major challenges: incomplete inventory and documentation of TCEs for communal intellectual property registration and the absence of local mechanisms governing permission and benefit-sharing for commercial utilization. To address these issues, the program produced three practical outputs: a shared action pathway for communal IP registration, a simplified inventory and documentation checklist, and policy recommendations supporting local regulations on permission and benefit-sharing. The findings indicate that legal counseling combined with stakeholder participation can improve institutional readiness for communal IP protection while providing an operational basis for strengthening preventive legal protection. The program also highlights the importance of developing regional regulations or a sui generis legal framework to ensure legal certainty, equitable benefit-sharing, and the sustainable preservation of Traditional Cultural Expressions in North Sulawesi. This aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

Abstract

The research-based legal empowerment program, entitled "Sekolah Judicial Review: Strengthening the Legal Culture for Civil Society Organizations". The objective of this program is to establish community partners as a model of non-state actors who can contribute to the balance of the legal culture of judicial review in Indonesia. The methodological approach employed in this study is anchored in normative and empirical legal research, the Sekolah Judicial Review model approach with a comprehensive curriculum, as well as best practices for non-state actors as petitioners at the Indonesian Constitutional Court. The results of the legal service demonstrated that the Sekolah Judicial Review aims to realize Sustainable Development Goal 16.3. It has enhanced legal knowledge, awareness, compliance, and responsibility among civil society organizations regarding judicial review and national legal systems. The national commitment and responsibility of civil society organizations in the process, decisions, and implementation of judicial review include the following: acting as a balancer of government and political powers; encouraging the realization of an independent and impartial judiciary in deciding judicial review cases; ensuring that the judiciary and justices are not intervened by political, business and other powers; criticizing weak political culture; and encouraging public participation. The recommendation in this legal empowerment program is to strengthen the legal culture of civil society organizations, especially by enabling them to serve as applicants in judicial reviews on specific issues, such as civil and political rights, climate change, and other cases, to strengthen "Peace and Justice Strong Institutions" within the Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

This community engagement program aims to strengthen community-based waste management in densely populated areas of Semarang City, Indonesia, as a practical model of community-driven environmental governance in the Global South while contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). The program adopted a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach integrated with Indonesia's national legal framework, particularly the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. 14 of 2021 concerning Waste Banks, beginning with an assessment of the institutional, operational, financial, participatory, and regulatory conditions of existing waste banks to identify priority issues and capacity gaps. Based on these findings, two complementary interventions were implemented: capacity building for waste bank managers and community members, and technical-institutional strengthening. All participants were women, comprising waste bank managers and representatives of the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) organization, thereby highlighting the essential role of women in promoting gender-responsive environmental governance and community resilience. Post-training evaluation demonstrated significant improvements in participants' knowledge, awareness, and attitudes toward sustainable household waste management. Institutional strengthening was further supported through the development of a simple Excel-based management system, the preparation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for operational and financial reporting, the provision of basic administrative facilities, and the establishment of a WhatsApp-based technical assistance service to ensure continuous mentoring. From a legal governance perspective, the program emphasized alignment between community waste management practices and national regulations while encouraging the adoption of complementary local legal instruments, including village decrees, environmental regulations, and partnership memoranda of understanding, to enhance transparency, accountability, and institutional sustainability. Overall, the findings demonstrate that integrating community empowerment, institutional capacity development, and legal compliance can significantly improve the governance and sustainability of community-based waste banks, offering a replicable and context-sensitive model for strengthening urban waste management in the Global South while supporting the realization of multiple SDG targets through inclusive, participatory, and sustainable environmental governance.

Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Policy in Pare District, Kediri Regency. The focus is on legal and socio-normative aspects of the policy. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data are taken from statutory regulations, government documents, academic literature, policy reports, and relevant media publications. The findings show that several factors support the implementation of the MBG policy in Pare. These factors include the commitment of local government, support from schools and other local institutions, and public acceptance of the program. In Pare, community values such as mutual assistance and local participation also help the program run at the local level. However, the implementation of the MBG policy still faces several problems. The main problem is regulatory uncertainty. This can be seen from unclear institutional mandates, incomplete operational standards, weak oversight mechanisms, and limited public participation in monitoring and evaluation. Food distribution also remains a challenge, especially when coordination among actors is not yet strong. From a legal perspective, the MBG policy needs clearer implementing regulations and stronger accountability mechanisms. From a socio-normative perspective, the program also needs to consider local conditions, community participation, and equal access to nutritious food. In Pare District, legal certainty and community support must work together so that the policy can be implemented in a fair, accountable, and sustainable manner. This study argues that the effectiveness of the MBG policy does not depend only on food provision. It also depends on regulatory certainty, institutional responsibility, public oversight, and the consistent enforcement of service standards. These elements are important to ensure that the MBG policy supports child nutrition, public welfare, and social justice, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

Abstract

The article aims to analyze the strengthening of the individual’s role in addressing state wrongful acts, to trace the historical transformation of this role, and to propose mechanisms that could consolidate and institutionalize this trend. The study employs historical-legal analysis, case study review, and comparative analysis of European legal instruments and judicial practice, focusing on representative cases from the 21st century. The article distinguishes systemic shortcomings, including chronic non-compliance with judgments, political blocking of international arrest warrants, and insufficient resources for victims. The article suggests two instruments to address these deficiencies: integration of International Criminal Court warrants into the European arrest warrant system, backed by sanctions for non-execution; an automatic parliamentary cycle for implementing international court decisions through a silent consent procedure. The scientific novelty of the study lies in outlining a legal mechanism for integrating individual procedural rights into the system of international responsibility. These suggestions are legally grounded in the Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA and related EU instruments regulating judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The enforcement component can rely on targeted financial or political sanctions, such as the temporary suspension of EU funding or cooperation mechanisms, in cases of persistent non-compliance. Their feasibility is assessed in light of constitutional constraints, Member States’ competences under the Treaty on European Union, and compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights, ensuring that due process and the rule of law are fully respected. This aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 16: Peace, justice, and strong institutions.
