Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the effectiveness of investigations into Sailing Approval (SPB) violations conducted by the Ditpolairud Riau Islands Police. It seeks to evaluate how well current law enforcement mechanisms ensure maritime safety and legal compliance under the Navigation Law. Research methodology: The research employs a normative and empirical juridical approach. Data were collected from legislation, literature reviews, and in-depth interviews with investigators, Syahbandar officials, and maritime business operators. The findings were validated through triangulation and analyzed descriptively using John Rawls’ Theory of Justice, Friedman’s Legal System Theory, and Sudikno Mertokusumo’s Legal Certainty Theory. Results: Investigations into SPB violations have been carried out in accordance with legal procedures, including coordination between Ditpolairud, Syahbandar, PPNS, and prosecutors. While enforcement actions have increased compliance, several challenges remain, such as limited resources, overlapping authority, legal gaps, maladministration, and low awareness among shipowners and fishermen. Digitalization of SPB documents and improved transparency in service fees were identified as key solutions. Conclusions: The investigations are generally effective but still constrained by structural, substantial, and cultural barriers. Effective enforcement requires harmonized regulations, institutional synergy, technological integration, and public legal awareness to ensure maritime safety and compliance. Limitations: This study is limited to the jurisdiction of the Riau Islands and relies on qualitative field interviews, without quantitative assessment of enforcement outcomes. Contribution: The study contributes to maritime law by emphasizing justice, legal certainty, and system effectiveness in SPB investigations, while offering recommendations to improve institutional capacity, transparency, and regulatory alignment.

Abstract

Purpose: Analyze law enforcement against illicit cigarettes with counterfeit excise bands in Batam and its impact on excise revenue, framed by Radbruch’s legal certainty, Friedman’s legal system, and Becker’s economics of crime. Research methodology: A normative–empirical legal approach: review of excise laws and implementing regulations; a case study of KPU BC Batam operations (sea/land patrols, risk-based intelligence); semi-structured interviews with officers; and qualitative analysis of enforcement documents. Results: Enforcement produced sizable seizures and a clear typology of illicit excisable goods (without bands/counterfeit), yet constraints persist: limited personnel and assets, a vast surveillance area, and increasingly sophisticated modus operandi. Regulatory gaps channel many cases into administrative settlement (state-asset confiscation) with weak deterrence; inter-agency coordination remains uneven; and permissive social norms toward cheaper prices endure. The main impacts are excise revenue leakage, unfair competition for compliant firms, and erosion of tobacco-control objectives. Conclusions: Legal certainty is not yet achieved due to sanction disparities and inconsistent enforcement; economically, offenders’ expected gains exceed expected penalties. Stronger, predictable, and deterrence-oriented enforcement is required. Limitations: Evidence is confined to Batam and specific periods; there is no econometric estimate of revenue loss; findings rely on interviews and secondary documents. Contribution: Integrates legal theory and policy analysis by proposing tighter norms and recalibrated criminal–administrative sanctions, clarified procedures, deeper inter-agency integration, deployment of digital track-and-trace for excise bands, and public education to curb demand, restore the revenue base, and protect fair competition.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the interaction between civil law settlements and criminal law settlements in the Indonesian military justice system, focusing on the implications of Military Court Decision I-05 Pontianak Number 46K/PM. I-05/AD/IX/2021. This study explores the complexity of overlapping jurisdictions and their effects on the rights and obligations of the parties involved. Research Methodology: The research method used is a conceptual approach with a normative analysis of laws and regulations, relevant legal practices, and library research. The conceptual approach is intended to analyze legal materials so that the meaning contained in legal terms can be understood. Results: The findings show that criminal proceedings significantly influence civil dispute resolution, particularly in determining liability and shaping civil court decisions. Conversely, the outcomes of civil cases may also affect criminal proceedings when overlapping elements exist. This case study demonstrates how fraud rooted in debt relations blurs the boundaries between civil and criminal domains, creating legal uncertainty. Conclusions: There is a strong need for harmonization and coordination between civil and criminal legal systems to prevent overlapping jurisdictions and ensure fairness. Integrating compensation claims into criminal trials can provide more efficient and comprehensive justice. Limitations: This study is limited to a single military court decision, which may restrict generalization to other jurisdictions and legal contexts. Contribution: This research contributes to legal scholarship by clarifying the interaction between civil and criminal dispute resolution and offers practical recommendations for policymakers, military judges, and practitioners to strengthen legal certainty and justice in Indonesia’s dual legal system.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify and analyze the factors inhibiting the promotion of civil servants at the Department of Education in Mimika Regency, focusing on structural, bureaucratic, and non-technical barriers that affect fairness and effectiveness.Design/methodology/approach: Research/methodology: A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative data (descriptive and inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation and ANOVA) with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). The study involved 74 civil servants selected from a population of 91 using Slovin’s formula, with triangulation applied to ensure the data validity. Results: The findings show that complex bureaucracy, unclear implementation of promotion policies, and weak dissemination are key structural barriers. Non-technical factors, including favoritism, interpersonal relations, and internal politics, also significantly influenced promotion outcomes. Competence alone proved insufficient, as subjective judgments and limited access to training opportunities also affected the results. Conclusions: Promotions in the Mimika Education Office are hindered by bureaucratic complexity, unclear policies, and non-technical factors such as favoritism and politics. Competence is insufficient, as limited training access and unequal opportunities persist. A transparent, merit-based system is essential for improving fairness, motivation, and organizational performance. Limitations: This study was limited by its focus on a single office, which may not represent other institutions. Incomplete budgetary data also constrain financial analyses. Contribution: This research enriches public sector HR studies by showing how bureaucracy and sociocultural dynamics intersect in career development, offering policy input for transparent, merit-based promotion and competency development in remote regions such as Mimika.

Abstract

Purpose: This review intends to ascertain and analyse available literature for the degree of corruption in the Ugandan public organisations and how they can be enhanced to get rid of corruption. Research methodology: Focussed Mapping Review and Synthesis approach were adopted to unpack corruption in public organisations. We examine obtainable literature using thematic approach. Results: The review exposes potential influence of both predisposing factors and precipitating factors in terms of socio-economic and political dimensions. Nonetheless, Public organisations in Uganda can be enhanced to get rid of corruption by enforcing a robust blend of all the three clusters of instruments of accountability; internal, legal and external. Limitations: Since the study was largely based on Uganda, its outcomes may not be generalized. Contribution: This explanatory review underscores the apathy of government machinery to rid public organisations of corruption. There is a need for politicians and policy experts to conduct additional analysis of corruption within the public sector. Keywords: Corruption, Predisposing factors, Precipitating factors, Accountability

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose an alternative model of enhancing citizen participation in Uganda. Research Methodology: The central approach for this paper was review of obtainable theoretical and conceptual writings on citizen participation in Uganda and other parts of the world. Literature review is the gathering of information from obtainable resources such as educational journals and statistical periodicals. The approach has been demonstrated to be very effective and can be applied at any stage of a research process. Results: Citizen Participation encourages marginalised groups to be organised in structures under their control; brings knowledge of their social environment and process to the local government agenda in a way that no other structure can as well as fostering self-reliance. Limitations: This study took a desk research and the actual opinions from selected citizens may be parallel to the conclusions obtained in this review. Contribution: The study can be used for local government managers implementing community-driven projects. Keywords: Citizen participation, policy implementation, stakeholders, bureaucrats, local leaders

Abstract

Purpose: This study discusses the idea of political redefinition and its connection to dignity, freedom and equality in a sovereign state. This article concludes by briefly touching on some serious issues about sovereign communities that arise as a result of the fundamental dignity, freedom, and equality ideals of the sovereign state. Research methodology: The author decided to conduct theoretical research in a qualitative format using conceptual analysis as well as critical and rational argumentation. A deductive approach is used in reaching a prior opinion. Results: The sovereign state itself became the judge and restricted human dignity, equality and the freedom to contract by forcing citizens to make transfers they did not consent to and prohibiting certain private transactions on the sole pretext. Limitations: There are shortcomings in theoretical research, as the author used a deductive approach to conclude. Contribution: This study conceptualizes the proponents of a sovereign state to be drawn into the dilemma of dignity, freedom and equality.

Abstract

Purpose: The study aims to analyse the law of attraction and its influence on Zimbabwe-Belarus relations. Research methodology: Secondary sources that relate to Zimbabwe and Belarus were used to gather data. The content analysis technique was employed to analysis to the data. Results: The study gathered that the two countries have limited allies in the international system; they are all on sanctions from the European Union (E.U.) and the United States of America (U.S.A.). The two countries also behave the same way in their interactions domestically and politically, as demonstrated by their conduct during elections. Limitations: The study focuses explicitly only on Zimbabwe’s 2018 and Belarus’s 2020 elections Contribution: This study contributes to understanding how the law of attraction will play a new role in determining the relations shortly, specifically whether or not the two counties will remain allies.
