Abstract

Customary land disputes are an agrarian problem that continues to occur in Indonesia due to the unsynchronization between customary law and state law. Although the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) and several Constitutional Court decisions have recognized the rights of indigenous peoples to customary land, its implementation still encounters various obstacles. This study aims to analyze the main causal factors of customary land disputes and evaluate the effectiveness of existing regulations and settlement mechanisms. Using a systematic literature review method, this research examines various legal, social, economic and political aspects that influence the dynamics of customary land conflicts in Indonesia. The results show that unsynchronized regulations, weak law enforcement, and investment and development interests are the main factors that trigger conflicts between indigenous peoples, the government, and the private sector. In addition, the lack of legal protection mechanisms for indigenous peoples causes them to often experience evictions and criminalization when defending their customary land rights. The study also highlights more effective dispute resolution models, including strengthening the role of customary institutions, implementing Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) mechanisms, and establishing independent institutions to deal fairly with agrarian conflicts

Abstract

Joint property inheritance is a complex issue in various legal systems around the world, reflecting the different principles and approaches between Civil Law, Common Law, Islamic law, customary law, and hybrid legal systems. This research aims to comparatively analyze the legal perspectives on inheritance of joint property in various legal systems, highlighting the main principles, application in various countries, and regulatory challenges that arise. The method used is a systematic literature review, by analyzing legal documents, court decisions, and relevant academic studies. The results show that in Civil Law, the distribution of inheritance generally follows written legal rules that strictly regulate the rights of heirs, while in Common Law, testamenter freedom is dominant, although it can be corrected by the court. In Islamic law, the faraid system regulates the distribution of inheritance based on religious decree principles, while in customary law, cultural norms and community values often influence inheritance patterns. In countries with pluralistic legal systems, such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Nigeria, regulatory disharmony can lead to inheritance disputes, especially in terms of gender imbalance and jurisdictional conflicts between national, customary and religious laws. This research confirms the importance of regulatory harmonization to create a more inclusive and equitable inheritance law system. Legal reforms that accommodate gender equality, legal certainty and administrative efficiency are strategic steps in facing the challenges of inheriting joint property in the modern era. With a deeper understanding of these different legal systems, it is hoped that legal policies can be developed to reduce inheritance disputes and improve the protection of the rights of all parties involved.

Abstract

This research explores the intersection of legal, ethical, and policy dimensions in transitional human rights, aiming to identify trends, challenges, and frameworks in the context of post-conflict and political transitions. The study adheres to established guidelines (PRISMA) and systematically analyzes peer-reviewed studies, case studies, and reports from reputable databases, with a focus on diverse regions and transitional contexts. Key findings highlight the complexities in balancing legal accountability with the ethical imperative of national reconciliation, and the pivotal role of international organizations in shaping transitional justice policies. The review underscores significant gaps, including the underexplored intersectionality of human rights violations, emerging issues like digital rights, and the impact of climate change on human rights transitions. By synthesizing existing literature, the review provides critical insights into the evolving nature of transitional justice, emphasizing the need for adaptive, interdisciplinary approaches that consider local contexts and emerging global challenges. The implications of the findings call for a shift toward context-sensitive, integrated frameworks for human rights advocacy and governance, offering a foundation for future research and policy innovation in transitional human rights

Abstract

Enforcement of business competition law is an important instrument in maintaining balance and fairness in the market. However, in practice, there are various problems that hinder the effectiveness of competition policy implementation. This study aims to review the issues arising in competition law enforcement, including regulatory aspects, enforcement by competent authorities, as well as challenges in the judicial process. Using a normative juridical approach and analysis of relevant cases, this study identifies the main factors that cause weak enforcement, such as lack of coordination between agencies, limited resources, and obstacles in proving cases. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations for policy makers in strengthening the effectiveness of competition law enforcement in order to create a healthy and fair competition climate in Indonesia

Abstract

Legal regulations on the protection of human rights can be guided by Law No. 39/1999, but in the process of enforcing the law in court, legal protection is only limited in an abstract form, namely against the perpetrators of the crime, while for the victim it has not been regulated concretely by law, so that the rights of the victim are always put aside and this according to the law clearly violates human rights. The protection of human rights in the judicial process should be concrete and not abstract, therefore in an effort to protect human rights in law enforcement in order to achieve real or substantive justice the decision must consider the interests of the victim, even though the law has not been expressly regulated, but judges as law creators and law inventors must have the courage to make new laws so that the perpetrator is not only punished by the body, but must be responsible for the losses suffered by the victim. In the judicial process, the judge can apply this responsibility in 2 (two) ways, namely: Civil Liability and Criminal Liability, so that the legal protection of victims in the judicial process is truly felt to be fair by both parties, so that the victim as the aggrieved party or the complainant in a case that he has suffered

Abstract

Legal frameworks play an important role in shaping people's behaviour through regulation, incentives and value internalization mechanisms. This study aims to provide a systematic review of how law operates as a social instrument in influencing individual and collective action in various social contexts. Using an interdisciplinary approach that includes the perspectives of legal sociology, normative theory, and public policy studies, this study analyzes relevant academic literature in the last two decades. The review identifies three main mechanisms of law's influence on people's behavior: (1) law as a means of control through formal sanctions and regulations, (2) law as an agent of social change that instills new values and norms, and (3) law as part of the social contract that reflects societal consensus. In addition, this study also discusses factors that influence legal effectiveness, including institutional legitimacy, enforcement capacity, and local cultural and political dynamics. The results of this study show that the success of the legal framework in shaping behavior is highly dependent on the compatibility between legal norms and the social values of the community. Therefore, a deep understanding of the relationship between law and social behavior is crucial in the formulation of effective and sustainable legal policies

Abstract

Mixed marriages between Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals are increasing in line with globalization. However, this condition raises legal challenges, especially regarding the inheritance status of children born from these marriages. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of mixed marriages on children's inheritance rights in Indonesia based on the applicable legal system, namely the Civil Code, Islamic law, and customary law. The method used is a normative juridical approach by analyzing legislation, court decisions, and relevant legal literature. The results show that the child's citizenship status, the legality of the parents' marriage, and the legal system used have a significant effect on the child's inheritance rights. Disharmony between various legal systems in Indonesia often leads to legal uncertainty in the settlement of disputes over the inheritance of children from mixed marriages. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonize regulations and increase legal protection of children's rights in the context of inheritance

Abstract

This study examines the implications of Islamic inheritance law on the division of joint property (marital assets) in the context of mixed marriages in Indonesia, where one spouse is Muslim and the other adheres to a different religion. As a country with a plural legal system, Indonesia recognizes Islamic law, civil law, and customary law, each of which may apply differently depending on the personal status of the parties involved. The research explores legal ambiguities and conflicts that arise when Islamic inheritance principles, which are binding for Muslims under Indonesian law, intersect with civil regulations in mixed marriages. Through a doctrinal legal research method supported by case studies and analysis of statutory and judicial interpretations, the study finds that the application of Islamic inheritance law often creates legal uncertainty in determining heirs and the rightful distribution of joint property. Furthermore, the research highlights the necessity for legal reform or clearer regulatory guidance to ensure equity and legal certainty for parties in mixed marriages

Abstract

This research explores the legal protection of victims of domestic violence through the lens of victimology and criminal law. Domestic violence remains a pervasive issue in many societies, including Indonesia, with far-reaching psychological, physical, and social consequences for victims. Although various legal instruments, such as Law No. 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence, have been enacted to provide legal remedies and protection for victims, challenges in implementation persist. This study examines how the principles of victimology can complement criminal law frameworks to ensure more comprehensive protection for victims. It highlights the importance of recognizing victims not only as passive sufferers but as subjects entitled to rights, including legal aid, psychological support, restitution, and participation in legal processes. Using a normative-empirical method, this study analyzes the legal provisions alongside field data obtained through interviews and case studies. The findings reveal gaps between legal norms and practical enforcement, often due to lack of awareness, institutional limitations, and cultural factors. Therefore, the research emphasizes the need for stronger inter-institutional coordination, enhanced victim services, and reforms in legal procedures to ensure justice and recovery for victims. This integrated approach aims to support a more humane and victim-centered justice system

Abstract

The phenomenon of spreading hoaxes in the digital era has had a serious impact on society and social stability in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement in counteracting hoaxes, as well as examine the role of digital literacy as a complement to existing regulations. The approach used is normative qualitative with data collection techniques through literature study, expert interviews, and legal document analysis. The research findings show that multiple interpretations of articles in the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law) and the weak capacity of law enforcement officers are the main obstacles in prosecuting hoaxes. In addition, the low level of digital literacy and limited access to quality information exacerbate the spread of disinformation. This research recommends a synergy between strict law enforcement and sustainable strengthening of digital literacy through collaboration between the government, educational institutions and communities. With this integrative approach, it is hoped that efforts to counter hoaxes can be more effective in maintaining information security and social stability in the digital era
