Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the urgency of determining the Free Papua Movement (OPM) as a perpetrator of gross human rights violations in Indonesia from a legal perspective. The main focus is to understand and examine the legal consequences and social impacts of such a determination in enforcing justice and protecting human rights in Indonesia. Research/methodology: The research uses a normative legal research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. It relies on secondary data, including legal literature, laws and regulations, and the opinions of legal experts. Results: The study shows that OPM has committed various acts of violence that violate human rights, such as murder, torture, and kidnapping. Declaring OPM as a perpetrator of gross human rights violations is crucial to uphold the principles of justice and equality before the law, in line with national and international legal standards. Legal action against OPM not only aims to impose sanctions but also functions as a preventive measure to deter similar crimes in the future. Experts in human rights law stress the need for a proportional and effective governmental response to such cases. Conclusion: Determining OPM as a perpetrator of gross human rights violations is a necessary legal step to enforce justice, deter future crimes, and protect human rights in Indonesia. Limitations: The study is limited to secondary data without field verification or empirical assessment of the implementation challenges. Contribution: This research contributes to the development of legal science and offers strategic insights into the legal handling of gross human rights violations in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the Juridical Position of Laboratory Results in Proving Narcotics Crimes in the Military Environment (Juridical Review in Decision Number 12-K/PMT-II/AU/V/2021). Research/methodology: This research is a type of normative juridical research using a descriptive analytical approach. The analysis relies on the examination of legal sources and court documents related to the case. Results: Laboratory results serve as very strong and absolute evidence because they are based on measurement and weighing, which contain certainty compared to witness statements. It is impossible to identify narcotic content in blood or urine by visual observation; thus, laboratory tests are indispensable. According to the minutes of the Criminal Laboratory Examination No. LAB 5743/NNF/2020, various items were tested and confirmed to contain methamphetamine. In this context, a negative urine test alone is insufficient to acquit a defendant. Judges must consider all the evidence presented, and a decision must be based on a minimum of two valid pieces of evidence. Conclusion: Even if the urine test result is negative, a guilty verdict can still be rendered if there is other valid evidence supporting the charges. Limitation: This study is limited to a normative juridical review and does not include empirical data from field studies or interviews with legal practitioners. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of the evidentiary value of laboratory results in military narcotics trials and provides a juridical framework for evaluating evidence beyond urine test outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the legal protection of children in conflict with the law within the Indonesian criminal justice system, particularly military minors. Article 33 of the Criminal Code and Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System are both central in regulating the judicial process for minors in military service. However, the potential contradiction between these two legal frameworks requires critical examination to ensure that children's rights are not violated. Research/methodology: This research uses a normative juridical approach. Data were collected through document analysis and literature study, including library research and other sources related to juvenile justice and military law. Results: The study finds that although both Article 33 of the Criminal Code and Law Number 11 of 2012 are designed to provide protection, their implementation in cases involving military minors may lead to legal uncertainty. There is a need for legal harmonization to uphold fair trial principles and to ensure that military minors are given the same special protections as other children in conflict with the law. Conclusion: Legal inconsistencies can negatively affect the rights of military minors. Reconciliation between general criminal law and juvenile justice law is necessary to create a more just legal framework. Limitation: This study is limited to legal analysis and does not involve empirical case data or interviews with practitioners. Contribution: The study contributes to legal scholarship by highlighting the urgency of synchronizing juvenile justice with military regulations, ensuring fair legal treatment for all minors.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the implementation and contribution of retribution from sports facilities and infrastructure in supporting the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of Jayapura City, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its effectiveness. Research methodology: The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and document analysis involving relevant stakeholders from the Youth and Sports Office and the Regional Financial Management Agency of Jayapura City. Results: The findings indicate that while the collection of retributions has been implemented according to standard procedures, its contribution to PAD remains relatively low. This is attributed to several obstacles, including insufficient operational budgets, limited human resources, underutilization of sports facilities, and the public's economic limitations. Conclusions: Retribution from sports facilities has the potential to support regional income; however, its effectiveness is constrained by institutional and socio-economic factors. With improved budgeting, monitoring, and utilization of facilities, this revenue source could make a more substantial contribution to Jayapura City's PAD. Limitations: This study is limited to the scope of Jayapura City and specifically focuses on retributions from sports facilities. Therefore, the results may not be generalizable to other regions or types of local revenues. Furthermore, the reliance on qualitative methods limits the extent of financial quantification and broader statistical analysis. Contribution: This research contributes to policy evaluation in optimizing local non-tax revenues. It also offers practical insights for improving retribution governance, particularly in the sports services sector.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the philosophical essence and methodological foundations of the concept of compromise, with a focus on its role in fostering harmony and stability in political, social, and spiritual contexts, particularly within the Naqshbandi teachings in Uzbekistan. Research methodology: The research employs dialectical, synergetic, hermeneutic, and metaphysical approaches to examine the definitions, interpretations, and practical applications of compromise. It draws from primary sources in Sufism, literature reviews, and philosophical texts to explore the multifaceted meanings of compromise across individual, social, and institutional levels. Results: The study finds that the philosophy of compromise, especially as taught in the Naqshbandi tradition, serves as a vital mechanism for sustaining peace, social cohesion, and ideological resilience. It highlights how the culture of dialogue, self-awareness, and moderation strengthens interpersonal and community relations, promoting long-term stability and development in diverse social environments. Conlusion: Compromise in the Naqshbandi tradition is a holistic philosophy promoting peace, tolerance, and social balance. It reflects a spiritual and ethical approach to resolving conflicts and fostering community harmony. Limitation: The study is context-specific to Naqshbandi teachings in Uzbekistan and lacks empirical validation, limiting its generalizability across broader contexts. Contribution: This research integrates spiritual philosophy into political discourse, offering a multidimensional framework for understanding compromise as both ethical and practical in sustaining social cohesion.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the contributions of the Khorezm Jadids to the advancement of national independence, education, culture, and socio-political development in Uzbekistan, highlighting their pioneering role in modernizing schools, literature, and public consciousness during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Research methodology: The research adopts a multidisciplinary approach, integrating historical-analytical, philosophical-comparative, and source-based methods. It utilizes archival records, memoirs, scholarly literature, and press materials to reconstruct the origins, activities, and influence of the Jadid movement within the cultural and political context of Turkestan. Results: The findings reveal that the Khorezm Jadids were instrumental in promoting democratic reforms, national identity, and the spread of modern education and journalism. Despite facing resistance from conservative forces and colonial oppression, their ideas influenced successive enlightenment movements and shaped Uzbekistan’s modern intellectual and political landscape. Conclusion: The study underscores the pivotal role of the Jadids in establishing foundational institutions of modern Uzbekistan—such as the first modern schools, newspapers, novels, and democratic ideals—emphasizing the need for continuous scholarly engagement with their legacy. Limitations: This research is limited to textual and historical sources without extensive use of oral histories or ethnographic methods, potentially omitting local perspectives and interpretations. Contribution: This article provides a deeper understanding of Jadidism’s intellectual, cultural, and political relevance, offering new insights into its impact on Uzbekistan’s national awakening and its enduring significance in contemporary educational and ideological discourse.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the DPRD’s aspirational funds (Pokok Pikiran) in Mimika Regency, focusing on their impact on public welfare and alignment with regional development priorities. Research/methodology: A descriptive quantitative approach was used, with primary data collected through questionnaires and interviews with community members and stakeholders in the DPRD and local government. Secondary data included budget realization reports from 2022–2024. Effectiveness and efficiency were measured using ratio analysis. Results: The average effectiveness reached 95.3%, showing that most allocated funds were realized. However, efficiency declined, with the Pokok Pikiran share in direct spending dropping from 5.6% in 2022 to 2.89% in 2024, despite growing regional expenditure. Several programs, such as housing development, had limited welfare impact, suggesting poor alignment with strategic needs. Conclusions: While the funds were effectively utilized, their efficiency in enhancing public welfare was limited due to weak program impact and misaligned priorities. Strategic planning and targeting are necessary to improve outcomes. Limitations: The study is limited to one region and a short timeframe (three years), without comprehensive input from beneficiaries, limiting the assessment of long-term impacts. Contribution: This study offers empirical insights into DPRD fund management, identifying the gap between budget realization and public benefit. It informs policy improvements in fund prioritization, transparency, and welfare impact in decentralized governance.

Abstract

Purpose: The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR-RI) is mandated to represent the people's voice through general elections. This role becomes meaningful when DPR ensures transparency by providing public access to information. However, its commitment to information disclosure is questionable, especially after limited public access to documents related to the KPK Law revision, Omnibus Law, and the Job Creation Bill. This study analyzes the implementation of public information disclosure policies within the DPR-RI. Methodology: This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. Primary and secondary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants and literature studies related to the topic. Result: The research shows that the implementation of the Public Information Disclosure Law in the DPR-RI is not yet optimal. This is particularly seen in the underutilization of media channels and poor management of information sources. Conclusion: The ineffectiveness of public information disclosure implementation in DPR-RI stems from limited use of digital media, weak performance of the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID), and lack of institutional commitment. These factors obstruct transparency and accountability in a democratic legislative institution. Limitation: This study is limited to evaluating the DPR-RI and does not include a comparative assessment with other government institutions or legislative bodies. Contribution: This research contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of public information policy implementation in legislative institutions as part of communication policy studies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the legal consequences of Constitutional Court Decision No. 90/PUU-XXI/2023, which adds new requirements for presidential and vice-presidential candidates, and analyzes its implications for the constitutional system and the balance of power between state institutions in Indonesia. Research methodology: Using a normative juridical approach, this research draws upon statute analysis, constitutional theory, and judicial interpretation. It evaluates the decision based on Hans Kelsen’s legal hierarchy theory and the principle of judicial restraint within a constitutional democracy. Results: The findings show that the Constitutional Court, through this decision, has expanded its interpretive role beyond judicial review, effectively performing a legislative function. This has resulted in the creation of a new norm that was not previously regulated by law. The decision also raises concerns about the erosion of judicial neutrality and the risk of institutional imbalance, particularly between the judiciary and the legislature. Conclusions: The decision disrupts the principle of separation of powers and may set a precedent for overreach by the judiciary. It calls into question the boundaries of judicial authority and its role in upholding democratic values and the rule of law. Limitations: The study is limited to a normative-doctrinal analysis and does not include comparative perspectives or empirical data. Contribution: This paper contributes to the discourse on constitutional law by emphasizing the need for judicial neutrality and reinforcing the importance of checks and balances in maintaining a democratic constitutional order.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 on the age limit for presidential and vice-presidential candidates from the perspective of Rechtsstaat and the principle of Trias Politica, emphasizing the rule of law and the balance of power in a democratic legal state.. Research methodology: The research employs a normative legal approach using a conceptual and statutory approach. It analyzes constitutional provisions, legal theories, and judicial decisions to evaluate the decision's alignment with the principles of the rule of law and separation of powers. Results: The findings reveal that the Constitutional Court’s partial granting of the petition on the age requirement reflects potential political influence, thereby raising questions regarding judicial neutrality and deviation from Trias Politica. The Court’s justification as an “open legal policy” illustrates a blurred line between judicial interpretation and legislative authority, which undermines the Rechtsstaat ideal that demands strict legal consistency and institutional balance. Conclusions: The decision highlights a deviation from the principles of a legal state (Rechtsstaat) and Trias Politica, as the judiciary may have overstepped its role, thereby affecting public trust and the integrity of the rule of law. Limitations: This study is limited to doctrinal analysis and does not include empirical assessment of political impacts or public perception. Contribution: The research contributes to scholarly discourse on the intersection of law and politics in Indonesia, offering a critical evaluation of judicial behavior within the framework of constitutional democracy.
