Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serve as the economic backbone of communities, with their sustainability influenced by various factors, including adherence to business legality. Among the crucial legal aspects, obtaining halal certification stands out as a pivotal requirement. This certification plays a vital role for business entities, aiming to bolster consumer confidence in the products they offer. The research conducted adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis. Surveys and direct interviews with service partners reveal significant challenges faced by these partners. These challenges encompass a spectrum from comprehending the importance of halal food products and the processes involved in their production to understanding the intricacies of halal certification and the necessary steps to obtain it. In accordance with the Halal Product Assurance regulations, the implementation of halal certification in Indonesia is mandated to expedite. Notably, by no later than October 17, 2024, all products entering, circulating, and trading in Indonesia must be duly halal-certified. This stringent timeline underscores the urgency for businesses to prioritize obtaining halal certification, positioning it as a critical component of their legal obligations. The significance of halal certificates extends beyond mere compliance, serving as a testament to a business's commitment to meeting the ethical and religious considerations of its diverse consumer base. This study also advocates for the important role of halal certification in sustaining MSMEs as the economic backbone of communities. The findings underscore the need for robust policy-making, emphasizing the urgency of halal certification in accordance with Halal Product Assurance regulations in Indonesia. The research aligns with the advocacy for policies that prioritize the timely implementation of halal certification, recognizing it as a critical component for MSMEs to meet legal obligations and enhance consumer trust.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has recognized the importance of entrepreneurship in supporting the country's economy. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have become the backbone of national economic growth, with women playing a vital role in this sector. Despite their contribution, women entrepreneurs face various challenges that hinder their business development, such as limited access to capital, gender-based discrimination, legal and administrative barriers, and a lack of institutional support. These obstacles are rooted in social norms and an insufficiently responsive legal framework. This article explores how legal advocacy and institutional support can empower women MSME entrepreneurs. It argues for a more inclusive legal policy environment, examines the role of legal services such as legal aid and consultation, and discusses successful case studies of advocacy organizations helping women overcome systemic barriers. Furthermore, this paper provides practical recommendations for improving legal access and advocates for stronger collaboration between governments, legal institutions, and global advocacy networks. Through a gender-sensitive legal approach, optimizing women’s roles in MSMEs can contribute to inclusive economic growth and strengthened gender equality.

Abstract

Legal advocacy and political policy influence on every decision-making related to renewable energy in the government have implications for whether or not the targets and objectives of the policy are achieved to answer the problems and needs that exist in society. In encouraging the development of New Renewable Energy (NRB), Indonesia reflects through the NRB Bill and its derivative regulations. The effectiveness of this policy is influenced by Indonesia's political direction to seek to reduce emissions. Political policies that are implemented based on the effectiveness of renewable energy governance in the form of good governance can encourage Indonesia to achieve targets and efforts in producing energy from NRB in 2030. This effort also encourages the government to achieve the national NRB target of 34% or an increase of 10.6% from the previous target. Legal advocacy efforts encourage the fulfilment of people's rights to obtain, access and benefit from the management of natural resources for renewable energy in the form of the implementation of government policies related to renewable energy.

Abstract

Bankruptcy is one of the options available for debtors to resolve financial difficulties when the debtor is unable or is estimated to be unable to pay the obligations owed to the debtor's creditors which are due and billed. Everyone seeking justice must follow certain procedures, including bankruptcy and suspension of debt repayment obligations. The application for bankruptcy and suspension of debt payment obligations is the first step, followed by a decision to declare bankruptcy and suspension of debt payment obligations, as well as all legal remedies. OJK has issued a Credit Restructuring Policy based on Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 11/POJK.03/2020 concerning Economic Stimulus as a Countercyclical Policy for the Impact of the 2019 Coronavirus. This procedure will require debtor restructuring to avoid bankruptcy, either through debt restructuring or corporate restructuring. The purpose of this study is to obtain an overview of the implementation of restructuring in the process of bankruptcy and payment delays, as well as a reference for maximizing debtor restructuring plans. This study finds that debt restructuring and deferred payments are mostly debt restructuring and begin with a settlement plan. Rescheduling consists of selling assets, acquiring new equity, and engaging in debt-to-equity swaps. When the debtor arranges a plan restructuring, fixation begins. Some of the main causes are debtors' misunderstandings about how to use the restructuring plan. Furthermore, in other situations, the implementation of the restructuring may fail due to the debtor's inability to manage the business and its obligations.

Abstract

The Principle of Recognizing Service Users (Prinsip Mengenali Pengguna Jasa, PMPJ), as outlined in Article 3 of Government Regulation No. 61 of 2021 concerning Amendments to Government Regulation No. 43 of 2015 on Whistleblowers in the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes, underscores the role of advocates as mandatory whistleblowers. This creates legal challenges regarding its implementation, resulting in a dialectical tension with the central argument that while PMPJ obligations are firmly grounded in normative legal frameworks, advocates—who are explicitly required to uphold these provisions—find no compelling legal basis for such duties in Law No. 18 of 2003 on Advocates (the Advocate Law). The principle of Lex Superior Derogat Legi Inferior further complicates this issue, as it suggests that the Advocate Law, being of a higher legal order, supersedes the obligations imposed by PMPJ. The primary objective of this study is to critically analyze the implementation of PMPJ, specifically focusing on the supporting and inhibiting factors in the context of preventing and combating money laundering crimes. The findings highlight that the failure to optimally implement PMPJ within the advocate profession is largely due to the unresolved legal dialectic surrounding the obligations of advocates. This issue has not been addressed in prior studies, representing a novel contribution of this research. Consequently, this study proposes the need for a reformulation of the Advocate Law, emphasizing the explicit inclusion of advocates' obligations regarding the implementation of PMPJ principles.

Abstract

The provision of antibiotics without doctor's prescription is serious problem in the Indonesian health system, which has impact on increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Although regulations related to antibiotic use have been implemented, there are still gaps between the rules and implementation in the field. This study uses empirical legal method to analyze the effectiveness of controlling the use of antibiotics without doctor's prescription, challenges in its supervision, and strategies that can be applied to limit this practice. The results of the study show that although various regulations have strictly regulated the distribution of antibiotics, the level of pharmacy compliance with these rules is still low. A study conducted by the Indonesian Pharmacists Association (IAI) in 2023 showed that 79.5% of pharmacies still serve the purchase of antibiotics without a prescription, with a dominance in urban areas (82.3%) compared to rural areas (71.8%). The main factors causing this violation are weak supervision, legal sanctions that are not sufficiently deterrent, and high demand from the community. In addition, the lack of health education contributes to misuse of antibiotics, which risks increasing bacterial resistance and economic burden on the health system. Strengthening supervision and law enforcement of antibiotic distribution, implementing an electronic system for recording prescriptions, and educational campaigns for community and pharmacists are needed. With a stricter and more synergistic control strategy, practice of prescribing antibiotics without prescription can be minimized, so that the risk of antimicrobial resistance can be suppressed and effectiveness of treatment can be maintained.

Abstract

The enactment of Law Number 6 of 2023, concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulations in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 on Job Creation, introduced the Individual Company as a legal entity designed to empower Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). This provision enables the establishment of a company by a single individual, a departure from the traditional requirement of at least two shareholders. The Job Creation Law, supported by Government Regulation Number 8 of 2021, outlines that an Individual Company is created through a Statement of Establishment, without the need for a Notary Deed, in line with the provisions for MSEs as stipulated in Government Regulation Number 7 of 2021. However, this legal framework creates challenges when an Individual Company exceeds the MSE criteria or gains more than one shareholder. In such cases, the company must transition into a Limited Liability Company (LLC), a process that requires the drafting of a notary deed and registration through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights’ online AHU system. This research focuses on advocating for legal certainty in the status transition of Individual Companies to Limited Liability Companies, which currently involves the dissolution of the original entity before the new LLC can be formed. The lack of a clear, comprehensive legal mechanism for this transition causes significant legal uncertainty. This paper examines the gaps in the existing legal framework and proposes solutions to streamline the conversion process, eliminating the need for dissolution. By advocating for legal certainty in the status transition, this research contributes to the broader discourse on improving the General Legal Administration system, ensuring that the legal status of businesses aligns with their evolving needs, and facilitating smoother business expansion and growth.

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology is significantly impacting the lives of humans. This technology enables transfer between regions, thereby threatening the right to privacy. However, the progress of the era related to electronic transactions will continue, necessitating the protection of privacy rights in electronic transactions, through harmonization with the legal principles of Roscoe Pound. A normative legal study was conducted with a statutory and conceptual method, then data were collected through literature studies and analyzed using descriptive-qualitative statistics. Privacy data protection has been implicitly regulated in Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) and Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law, as well as Government Regulation concerning the Implementation of Electronic Systems and Transactions (PP PSTE). The concept of law as social engineering positions ITE and PDP as key instruments in the formation and development of society. Meanwhile, the balance is seen when a regulation has accommodated the interests, of both state, community, and individual, showing the legal thinking side of Roscoe Pound. Policymakers need to pay more attention to how policies are made in accordance with Roscoe Pound's legal principle to achieve the main objective.
