Abstract

The consequence of the welfare state concept requires the government to provide excellent public services for the community. To oversee the implementation and prevent maladministration, the state established the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia through Law Number 37 of 2008. Legal issues that arise in state administration practice are the end product of the Ombudsman's authority in the form of "Recommendations" which are only magistrature of influence (Moral Influence) and do not have the force of execution like a court decision. This results in these recommendations often being ignored by state administration agencies. This research is a normative legal research that uses a statute approach and a conceptual approach. Based on the perspective of State Administrative Law, the results of the research itself indicate that the position of the Ombudsman is as an external supervisory institution (state auxiliary organ) tasked with maintaining bureaucratic compliance with the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB). To address the weak legal binding power of the Recommendation, a legal construction with integrity is needed. This ideal construction is built by synchronizing the Ombudsman Law with the administrative sanction instruments in Law Number 25 of 2009 concerning Public Services and also Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration. Through this construction, the act of ignoring the Recommendation itself is categorized as a violation of the AUPB, thus mandatorily forcing the reported official's superior, under the supervision of the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP), to impose administrative sanctions on personnel in stages to ensure certainty of resolution.

Abstract

In the Indonesian criminal justice system, Visum et Repertum occupies a strategic position, especially in situations where children become victims of sexual violence, as it serves as evidence that provides medical and scientific support for proving the elements of a crime. This study aims to analyze the role of Visum et Repertum in proving criminal acts of sexual violence against children and its position as material for judges' consideration in deciding cases, with a focus on Decision Number 652/Pid.Sus/2024/PN Btm. The research uses a normative legal method, combining a regulatory approach and case studies, which are then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that based on Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code, under Article 184 paragraph (1) in relation to Article 187 of the Criminal Procedure Code, Visum et Repertum constitutes documentary evidence within the criminal justice system. However, its probative force is not autonomous, as it must be considered alongside other admissible evidence and the judge’s conviction in accordance with Article 183. Accordingly, Visum et Repertum serves as a crucial instrument in supplying objective medical findings, particularly in cases concerning sexual abuse of children. With the enactment of Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code, the evidence system has undergone improvements that further emphasize the position of documentary evidence in the criminal justice process. Thus, the Visum et Repertum serves not only as a medical document but also as a legal instrument supporting the realization of material truth and the principle of assisting the judge in forming an objective and measurable legal conviction.

Abstract

Traffic congestion in the Projo Ambarawa Market area demonstrates that traffic problems within commercial areas are not solely associated with the increase in vehicle volume, but also with the governance of economic activities and the utilization of road space. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Regional Regulation of Semarang Regency Number 9 of 2024 concerning the Establishment, Arrangement, and Development of People’s Markets in the regulation of Morning Market traders, as well as to assess its effectiveness in relation to traffic congestion in the market area. This research employs an empirical juridical approach by examining normative provisions and their implementation through interviews, field observations, and analysis of relevant legal materials. The findings indicate that the Regional Regulation has been administratively implemented for traders operating within the market area through mechanisms of trader identification, limitation of operational hours, and monitoring by the authorized regional government agencies. However, its effectiveness remains limited because trading activities extend beyond the market boundaries and fall within a fragmented configuration of authority among the Trade Office, the Transportation Agency, the Civil Service Police Unit, and private land managers. Congestion in the area is not only triggered by the presence of traders, but also by the concentration of economic activities, on-street parking practices, public transportation stops outside designated points, and weak cross-sector coordination. This study concludes that the principal issue lies in the governance of authority and coordination that have not been sustainably integrated, such that the effectiveness of congestion control cannot be achieved solely through the normative instruments of the Regional Regulation.

Abstract

This study examines the protection of international humanitarian law for child victims of sexual violence in Sudan's armed conflict, particularly in the context of the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 2023. Using normative legal research methods with legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches, this study analyzes applicable international legal instruments, international criminal tribunal jurisprudence, and available law enforcement mechanisms. The results of the study show two main findings. First, the normative framework of international humanitarian law including the 1998 Rome Statute, the 1949 Geneva Convention, the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the UN Security Council Resolutions have provided a juridically adequate legal basis for establishing criminal accountability against RSF perpetrators through the ICC mechanism based on the referral jurisdiction of Resolution 1593 (2005), as reinforced by the precedent of the Ali Kushayb ruling (October 2025). Second, effective protection for child victims of sexual violence faces serious implementation gaps due to four structural barriers: state non-cooperation in the execution of arrest warrants, limitations of UN Security Council mechanisms, barriers to proof on the ground, and the inadequacy of Sudan's national justice system. The study concludes that the continued impunity is not a reflection of the inadequacy of legal norms, but rather a failure of the political will of the international community to implement them consistently.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the phenomenon of No Viral No Justice in law enforcement practices in Indonesia in the digital era, as well as identify the positive and negative impacts of the role of social media as a means of social control on law enforcement officials. The main problem in this study stems from the dependence of law enforcement officials on the pressure of public opinion, raising serious problems related to objectivity, legal certainty, and human rights protection. This study uses normative legal research methods (normative juridical) with an emphasis on analysis of positive legal norms, legal principles, and relevant doctrines. Data was obtained through literature review by examining regulations, legal literature, previous research results, and other supporting sources. The results of the study show that the phenomenon of No Viral No Justice emerged as a response to low public trust in the performance of law enforcement officials and the slow handling of cases. Social media functions as a means of social control that is able to encourage transparency, accountability, and acceleration of handling certain cases. But on the other hand, reliance on virality has the potential to lead to reactive, and populist law enforcement, as well as give birth to public judgments that ignore the principle of presumption of innocence. These findings confirm that the phenomenon of No Viral No Justice has a dual impact that can simultaneously strengthen and include the principle of Equality Before the Law in criminal practice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the problems of copyright dispute mediation implementation and their impact on dispute resolution effectiveness at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law of Central Java. The main issue examined is the low mediation success rate despite mediation being mandated as the primary alternative dispute resolution mechanism before litigation. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with an empirical juridical approach through in-depth interviews with officials and mediators, analysis of mediation case documents, and review of relevant laws and regulations. The analysis applies Soerjono Soekanto's Legal Effectiveness Theory, encompassing five determining factors: legal substance, law enforcement, facilities and infrastructure, society, and legal culture. Results indicate that during 2023 to 2025, only two of six mediated copyright disputes reached agreement, yielding a success rate of 33.3 percent. Three interrelated problems were identified: institutional problems involving weak structural positioning and limited institutional support; mechanism problems involving divergent party expectations, adversarial orientation of legal representatives, and substantive complexity of copyright disputes; and human resource problems involving limited mediator availability, insufficient copyright-specific competence, and excessive workload. Failed mediations were generally escalated to criminal proceedings, reflecting a tendency to criminalize inherently civil disputes. This study concludes that mediation effectiveness at the regional level remains suboptimal, necessitating institutional strengthening, mechanism improvement, and enhanced mediator competence grounded in intellectual property expertise.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the judiciary represents a strategic effort to enhance efficiency, transparency, and access to justice through the implementation of electronic court systems. At the institutional level, E-Court functions as an electronic case administration platform, while E-Litigation is designed to facilitate electronic hearings as an integrated continuation of the registration process. However, empirical data from the Religious Court of Pemalang during the period 2022–2024 indicates a significant and consistent discrepancy between the number of cases registered through E-Court and those processed through E-Litigation. This study aims to analyze the factors causing the discrepancy and to examine the strategies undertaken by the Religious Court of Pemalang in addressing the low utilization of E-Litigation. The research employs a socio-legal approach through field data collection based on in-depth interviews with court officials and practicing advocates. The findings reveal that the discrepancy is influenced by multiple factors, including low digital literacy among litigants, preference for face-to-face hearings, conventional legal culture, strategic considerations of advocates, the consent-based nature of electronic hearings, and institutional limitations. In response, the court has implemented strategies such as socialization programs, technical assistance services, legal aid support, capacity building for court personnel, system integration, and internal monitoring. Nevertheless, the increase in E-Court usage has not been proportionally followed by the adoption of E-Litigation. The study concludes that judicial digitalization requires not only technological infrastructure but also cultural adaptation, institutional strengthening, and enhanced public digital capacity to achieve effective integration between electronic administration and electronic hearings.

Abstract

The conversion of fertile land into industrial areas in Brebes Regency takes place through formal mechanisms stipulated in various land regulations. However, its implementation demonstrates an imbalance between the interests of economic development and the protection of community rights. This study aims to analyze the process of converting agricultural land into industrial areas and assess its legal implications for the justice of local communities. Using a qualitative approach with empirical juridical research, data were obtained through field observations, in-depth interviews with BPN officials and affected communities, and a review of relevant documents and regulations. The results indicate that although administrative procedures such as the issuance of KKPR/PKKPR, land acquisition, and technical verification have been implemented, the protection of productive land and the guarantee of farmers' rights have not been substantively fulfilled. Land conversion results in loss of livelihoods, decreased prod uctivity, social vulnerability, and legal uncertainty for the people of Brebes. These findings indicate that the principles of justice, sustainability, and people's prosperity as mandated by the UUPA and Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution have not been fully realized in practice. Therefore, strengthening regulations and oversight mechanisms is necessary to ensure that industrial area development aligns with the protection of agrarian rights and legal justice for local communities.

Abstract

The reality of employment relationships in Indonesia today far exceeds what is written in labor laws. The emergence of freelance and remote work trends due to digital technology has collided with laws that still rely on formal recognition. The research method used was normative legal research with a regulatory and comparative law approach. The results of the study point to the weak legal protection for freelance and remote workers, including wages, social security, occupational safety and health, and access to dispute resolution mechanisms. In comparison, German law has implemented an adaptive substantive approach. Employment status is assessed based on factual realities and economic dependence, even recognizing the category of quasi-independent workers (arbeitnehmerähnliche Personen) who receive legal protection. Through this comparison, a protection model based on the reality of employment relationships is more relevant to the current shifts in the world of work. On that basis, Indonesia needs to overhaul its labor law policies. By selectively absorbing German legal principles, Indonesia can build a stronger protective barrier for freelance and remote workers amid rapid digitalization.

Abstract

The Food Estate Program is one of the government's strategic policies in an effort to strengthen national food security, including at the village level. In its implementation, Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) have the potential to play a role as implementers of village economic activities that support the strengthening of local food systems. This study aims to analyze the legal construction of the position of BUMDes as the implementer of the village-scale Food Estate program and to examine the role of BUMDes in realizing local food security and legal protection for farmers. This study uses a normative legal research method with a legislative and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that BUMDes has a strong legal basis for involvement in the management of business activities related to the food sector as regulated in Government Regulation Number 11 of 2021 concerning Village-Owned Enterprises. In practice, BUMDes can play a role in strengthening the village food value chain through production, processing of agricultural products, and distribution and marketing of agricultural products. However, the implementation of this role still faces various obstacles related to legal substance, institutional structure, and the legal culture of the community. Therefore, strengthening the BUMDes institution and providing legal protection for farmers through clear and fair cooperation agreements are important factors in supporting the success of the village-scale Food Estate program.
