Abstract

This research critically examines the justice system and legal certainty pertaining to stateless persons in Indonesia. Stateless individuals in Indonesia frequently encounter systemic discrimination and endure hardships due to inadequate legal protections. The study employs a normative juridical research approach, combining statutory analysis and conceptual exploration to assess the current regulatory framework. The findings underscore significant gaps in existing regulations that fail to adequately safeguard the rights of stateless persons. These individuals often struggle to access basic human rights such as education, healthcare, and employment, highlighting a critical need for legislative reforms. Legal certainty is a pivotal issue, as the ambiguity and inconsistencies within Indonesian laws contribute to the vulnerability of stateless populations. Furthermore, the research identifies discrepancies between national laws and constitutional mandates, which further complicate the legal landscape for stateless persons. This analysis aims to advocate for policy reforms that align with principles of justice and constitutional integrity, proposing measures to enhance legal protections and ensure equitable treatment for stateless individuals in Indonesia. By illuminating these challenges and proposing potential avenues for legal reform, this research seeks to contribute to broader discussions on human rights, migration, and legal justice within the Indonesian context, ultimately advocating for a more inclusive and just society for stateless persons.

Abstract

Indonesia, recognized as the second largest marine polluter globally, faces a significant environmental crisis despite stringent international policies and vigorous social movements advocating for sustainability. According to data from INAPLAS and BPS, Indonesia generates 64 million tons of plastic waste annually, with 3.2 million tons ending up in the sea. The waste management system in Indonesia is rudimentary, involving basic stages of collection, transportation, and disposal, with processing occurring only at the final destination. Amidst this waste crisis, Indonesia continues to import plastic waste from countries such as the United States, Germany, Australia, and Hong Kong, exacerbating the environmental and health hazards. This paper explores the paradox of plastic waste import in Indonesia, focusing on how international policies, including the Basel Convention and its recent amendments, intersect with local regulations and their enforcement. It also examines the role of social movements in combating plastic waste imports and advocating for environmental sustainability. The central problem addressed is the regulatory and social polemic surrounding waste importation in Indonesia, considering the social, political, and legal dimensions. Employing a conceptual and statute approach, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the waste import regulation issues linked to social problems within Indonesian society. It argues that the complexity of international trade, economic incentives, and insufficient regulation enforcement contribute to the paradoxical situation where policies and advocacy efforts seem misaligned with outcomes. The findings offer social and juridical recommendations for the Indonesian government and society to address the waste import dilemma effectively. By aligning policies with environmental goals and leveraging social movements, Indonesia can drive significant change towards sustainable waste management practices.

Abstract

Central Java, as a reflection of a calm and peaceful society, is disturbed by the rise of terrorism, which has made the region a base for recruitment and terror regeneration. Acts of terror are always preceded by the implantation of radical ideologies. Therefore, preventive efforts are necessary to thwart the spread of these radical ideologies. This activity aims to foster a preventive attitude to counter radical ideologies in the Batursari community, Kledung Sub-district, Temanggung Regency, and to provide recommendations to the government on the necessary actions to ensure legal protection for the Batursari community against terrorism and radicalism. This activity is in partnership with the Ansor Youth Movement (GP) PAC of Kledung Sub-district, Temanggung Regency, which is one of the autonomous bodies of Nahdlatul Ulama. The methods used in this activity include lectures and dialogues, as well as focused discussions. Additionally, brainstorming—collecting opinions from the audience—will be used as an initial effort to gauge their knowledge about terrorism and radicalism. This activity is expected to cultivate a preventive attitude to counter the infiltration of radical ideologies into the community.

In addition, NIB makes it easier for businesses to apply for business licenses and fulfill legality requirements. NIB can also increase the competitiveness of business actors by fulfilling the requirements to obtain certification. The issuance of NIB for business actors can be a form of contribution to the development of a better business ecosystem.

After observed, it is known that the factions that agree to the promulgation of the Perppu are government parties and those that reject it are political parties. opposition. Apart from that, we know that social organizations are one of the wings of politics, which are very effectively used to boost the votes of political parties and mobilize the masses.

Abstract

This paper explores the role of universities in advancing Pancasila as a guiding ideology through community engagement in Kenteng Village. As Indonesia faces challenges in maintaining national identity and unity, the significance of Pancasila— the nation’s foundational philosophical framework—cannot be overstated. The study examines a collaborative program initiated by a local university aimed at fostering ideological understanding and enhancing national awareness among villagers. Through workshops, seminars, and hands-on activities, university students and faculty worked closely with the Kenteng community to facilitate discussions on Pancasila values, encouraging active participation in civic life. The program also aimed to empower villagers by equipping them with skills and knowledge to promote social cohesion and resilience. The findings indicate that the initiative not only deepened the community's appreciation for Pancasila but also strengthened ties between the university and the village. Participants reported increased awareness of national issues and a stronger commitment to local governance and community development. This case study demonstrates that effective community engagement by universities can serve as a model for similar initiatives across Indonesia, reinforcing the importance of Pancasila in contemporary society. Ultimately, the paper advocates for a more structured approach to university-community partnerships, highlighting their potential to cultivate a deeper understanding of national identity and values among future generations.

Abstract

Petty theft is one of the most common criminal offenses and contributes to prison overcrowding, even though the losses involved are minimal and often committed by economically vulnerable individuals. The retributive criminal justice system in Indonesia has proven less effective in resolving such cases fairly and efficiently. This study aims to analyze the optimization of restorative justice in handling petty theft cases in Indonesia, while comparing its application with Malaysia and New Zealand. The research employs a normative juridical method, using statutory and comparative legal approaches. The research shows that Indonesia has introduced restorative justice through the Attorney General's Regulation Number 15 of 2020. However, practical implementation faces challenges, including limited awareness among law enforcement, insufficient institutional synergy, and a lack of supporting facilities. In Malaysia, restorative principles are reflected in local practices, although not formally adopted in national legal frameworks. In contrast, New Zealand has institutionalized restorative justice, especially in youth cases, with comprehensive procedures and strong community participation. The comparative analysis suggests that successful implementation depends on regulatory clarity, trained human resources, and active community involvement. Indonesia must therefore enhance its legal infrastructure and cross-sector collaboration to ensure that restorative justice becomes an effective tool in resolving petty theft cases.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of labor regulations aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the context of human resource (HR) management at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), a leading institution in Indonesia’s higher education sector. As universities are expected to model sustainable and equitable employment practices, this research explores how labor laws—particularly those concerning decent work, gender equality, and inclusive employment—are applied in institutional HR policies and practices. Employing a normative juridical approach supported by empirical data, the study analyzes the legal frameworks governing labor rights in Indonesia and their integration into HR procedures at UNNES. The findings reveal a partial but growing compliance with SDGs-based labor principles, highlighting areas where legal advocacy and institutional commitment are still needed to ensure fair labor standards. The study further discusses the role of legal services and advocacy in advancing labor justice and institutional accountability within higher education settings. By focusing on the intersection of labor law, sustainability, and human resource management, this paper contributes to the broader discourse on legal reform and advocacy for sustainable work environments in Indonesian universities.
