Abstract

Advisory opinion is an alternative resolution of conflict in the international court of justice (hereinafter ICJ). The opinion is commonly requested in armed conflict issue; It consists of an advice by interpreting the international principles based on the concept of the “Jus ad bellum” and “Jus in bello”. Nevertheless, the ICJ statute does not determine conspicuously the legal binding of the opinion. This research ostensibly sought to highlight the legal force of the opinion. Hence, what is exactly the value of ICJ`s opinion in armed conflict? This question demands evidently a doctrinal approach and analysis of cases. This study mainly pointed out the conditions for requesting the advisory opinion, and the analogy of its legal binding effect. Certainly, this resolution might have legal effect but it depends on the circumstances. As a result, it might be crucial for resolving the contemporary armed conflict over the world.

Abstract

After the COVID-19 pandemic occurred some time ago, which paralyzed all aspects of life in the world, not long after, in 2022, an armed conflict occurred involving Russia and Ukraine, which continues to this day. In line with the armed conflicts that have emerged recently, various international economic sanctions targeting warring countries have begun to be imposed. Ironically, instead of weakening the sanctioned country’s defense, the embargo imposed by a sanctioned country on a particular country turns out to have a harsh impact on all aspects of the lives of its civilians, both the sanctioned country and the sanctioning country in several cases. The imposition of various international sanctions is one of the causes. Reflecting on this, the author will analyze more deeply what is the concept of international economic sanctions. Secondly, does the imposition of international economic sanctions fulfill the basic concept of implementing economic sanctions today? The method used in this paper is qualitative research with normative juridical methods. From the discussions, It can be concluded that economic sanctions are the withdrawal of trade habits and financial relations for foreign and security policy. Sanctions can be comprehensive, prohibiting commercial activity against entire countries. However, there is uncertainty regarding the length of economic sanctions imposed on a country, which causes prolonged suffering for the people of a country. Apart from that, the dominance of countries that have significant political and economic power has led to the emergence of abuse of the imposition of economic sanctions themselves. The article recommends that countries should compose the development of international legal rules originating from international agreements that focus on three main things: management processes, and results that lead to sustainable benefits based on the principle of equality in creating agreements between countries.

Abstract

Marital rape is a crucial issue in Indonesia and Singapore, influenced by patriarchal culture and legal loopholes. This study aims to analyse the comparison of marital rape laws between the two countries, identifying significant differences in legal systems, definitions, and criminal sanctions. Unlike the Indonesian Criminal Code, which does not explicitly recognize marital rape, Singapore has reformed its laws through the Criminal Law Reform Act 2019 to criminalize such acts. This study finds that Singaporean law can contribute to Indonesia, particularly in terms of arrest procedures, victim protection systems, and the concept of consent. Using a normative-juridical approach with comparative methods, this study provides recommendations for the modernization of Indonesian law, emphasizing the need for more specific regulations and the establishment of special family courts to ensure better protection for victims.

Abstract

Despite the adoption of Law No. 2019-008 of January 16, 2020, which formally criminalizes marital rape in Madagascar, the offense remains socially invisible and judicially neglected. This article explores the contradiction between legal recognition and the persistent lack of enforcement. It investigates how entrenched cultural norms, particularly the presumption of perpetual spousal consent, hinder the acknowledgment and prosecution of marital rape. Relying on a multidisciplinary methodology—legal analysis, sociocultural inquiry, and review of judicial practices—the study identifies systemic obstacles, from patriarchal ideology to institutional inertia. It highlights the gap between the symbolic presence of the norm and its weak application. The article argues for a holistic approach to reform, including the training of legal actors, public awareness on consent within marriage, and the deconstruction of harmful gender norms. By critically analyzing the social and legal reception of this crime, the study contributes to the broader debate on gender-based violence and legal effectiveness in Madagascar.
