Abstract

This study uses a qualitative methodology and secondary source data to investigate election cheating and its impact on Nigeria's democratic consolidation. It will be examined using historical and content analysis. examination. Nigerian democracy's progress has been severely hampered by election tampering. According to the report, e-election holds enormous promise and might be the solution to voter fraud in Nigeria's electoral system provided it is properly deployed and funded. It starts by looking at the constitutional, legal, and theoretical underpinnings of electronic voting. Second, it examines the real-world obstacles to the adoption and deployment of an electronic voting system in Nigeria by learning from other countries. Nigeria's elections have fallen short of expectations thus far because of a variety of electoral manipulations that have prevented the nation from holding legitimate, free, and fair elections within her political system. In addition to undermining Nigeria's democratic consolidation, election cheating has breached the fundamental human right (right to lives) of a large number of Nigerians. This essay offers some crucial suggestions that could solve the issues of election tampering and explain how those actions can support the need for a democratic atmosphere, which is a need for free and fair elections.

Abstract

This study assesses how campaign propaganda affected Nigeria's post-election government and the results of the 2015 presidential election. It examines in detail how ethno-religious campaigns The winning party's policy orientation, the victory of an opposition party, and the rational voting decisions of individuals were all influenced by the messaging of the two main political parties. To accomplish their goal of garnering more votes, politicians from all over the world adorn their language in distinctive ways to give their message more impact and force. Repetition, promise, colloquialism, word coinages, pidginized, and metaphorical language are some ways that rhetoric and propaganda can embody this. The figurative terms' denotative and connotative meanings are examined. It is believed that hyperbole, rhetorical inquiries, and rude remarks are characteristics of propaganda as a subset of this register. Therefore, political actors and foreign interests willingly used the media to disseminate divisive views. and a smear campaign against alleged rivals. Evidence suggests that the winning party has not significantly fulfilled its electoral promises five years after political ascendancy, despite the fact that campaign propaganda containing hate speech and dubious information helped an incumbent lose the 2015 Nigerian presidential election.

Abstract

Building agreement and influencing public opinion need effective communication. As a means of expressing ideas, language creates emotions that are used for political advantages during an electoral campaign. Human existence and the maintenance of connections depend on communication, a complex process. In actuality, human interactions are lubricated by this substance. Despite its importance, communication has two sides and can be applied either favorably or unfavorably. From the standpoint of its capacity for complexity, Boulton (2019, p. 41) pointed to the negative social intent of language. She also noted that language is frequently employed to deceive rather than to communicate. Human existence and the maintenance of connections depend on communication, a complex process. In actuality, human interactions are lubricated by this substance. Despite its importance, communication has two sides and can be applied either favorably or unfavorably. According to Boulton (1978, p. 41), from the standpoint of language's capacity for complexity to the detrimental societal intent of language. She also noted that language is frequently employed to deceive rather than to communicate. Therefore, this discourse examines how the political advertisement "See who wants to be President of Nigeria" exposed ignorance and ineptitude as unacceptable in a moral and democratic society such as Nigeria. It is a political communication activity that uses word choice and language as a means of rejecting a candidate in the April 2015 Nigerian presidential election.

Abstract

In the era of globalization and digital transformation, organizations face new challenges in managing cultural diversity and technological complexity. Leaders are required to quickly adapt to the ever-changing global dynamics while fostering synergy within multicultural teams. This article aims to analyze how Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and digital technology can be integrated into a multiplication leadership model to enhance the effectiveness of global organizations. Using a qualitative approach based on literature studies, this research explores the three main dimensions of CQ—cognitive, motivational, and behavioral—as well as the application of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and virtual communication in leadership development. The findings indicate that leaders with high levels of CQ are more effective in leading multicultural teams and building harmonious cross-cultural connections. Meanwhile, the use of digital technology accelerates decision-making processes, mentoring, and collaboration within flexible and dynamic organizational structures. The integration of cultural intelligence and digital technology results in an adaptive, collaborative, and innovative leadership model. Examples of the implementation of this model in global companies such as Microsoft, Tesla, and Airbnb further reinforce the findings. This article provides practical contributions for organizations in designing training strategies and leadership models based on CQ and digital leadership to face global challenges more effectively and sustainably.

Abstract

This study examines the changes in the authority of the Professional Disciplinary Council (Majelis Disiplin Profesi, MDP) under Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health and their implications for legal certainty for medical and health professionals. Although these changes are intended to improve the professional disciplinary system, they have resulted in the centralization of authority under the Ministry of Health, including the appointment of members, institutional formation, and the process of judicial review of MDP decisions. Furthermore, MDP recommendations can now serve as a basis for criminal investigations against medical and health personnel, which contradicts the original function of the MDP as an institution for enforcing ethics and professional discipline based on due process of ethics. This research employs a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical and case study approach, supported by expert interviews in health law. Theoretical frameworks used include the Theory of Legal Certainty, the Theory of Human Rights, and the Theory of Legal Protection. Findings indicate that the centralization of authority under the Ministry of Health has created a power imbalance in professional oversight. This has negative implications for legal protection, increasing the risk of conflict of interest, abuse of authority, and weakening legal certainty for medical and health professionals. Therefore, it is necessary to revise Law No. 17 of 2023 and Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024 to restore the independence of the MDP and ensure a proportional redistribution of authority within the health professional oversight system.

Abstract

Child sexual exploitation is a severe violation of human rights that demands a firm and multidimensional legal response. This study aims to identify the underlying causes of child sexual exploitation and to analyze and compare law enforcement practices against such crimes within the legal systems of Indonesia and Malaysia. The research employs a normative juridical method with a comparative law approach. The findings reveal that the contributing factors in both countries include weak legal enforcement, socio-economic vulnerability, misuse of digital technology, and prevailing cultural norms. In terms of punishment, Indonesia has introduced chemical castration as an additional sanction under Government Regulation No. 70 of 2020, while Malaysia imposes imprisonment and caning based on the Penal Code and the Child Act 2001. Despite having comprehensive legal frameworks, Indonesia continues to face challenges in implementation, such as inadequate law enforcement sensitivity and insufficient psychosocial support for victims. The comparative analysis indicates that legal effectiveness relies not only on statutory provisions but also on institutional commitment to uphold justice and child protection.

Abstract

Background: Islamic inheritance law represents a critical component of family law systems that extends beyond religious obligations to encompass significant socio-economic implications for asset distribution and intergenerational justice. While Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam have both incorporated Islamic law into their national legal frameworks, their implementation approaches demonstrate fundamental structural and procedural differences that warrant systematic comparative analysis. Objective: This study examines the institutional frameworks and implementation effectiveness of Islamic inheritance law systems in Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam, analyzing how constitutional arrangements and governmental approaches influence the practical application of faraid principles. Methods: This research employs a normative legal methodology utilizing comparative analysis of legal frameworks, institutional structures, and judicial decisions. The study analyzes primary legal sources including constitutional provisions, statutory laws, court decisions, and administrative guidelines from both jurisdictions. Data collection encompassed library research examining fiqh literature, national legislation, official documents, scholarly articles, and religious legal opinions. Theoretical frameworks of legal pluralism (Romano-Gierke), Maqasid al-Shariah, and Hartian legal positivism provide analytical foundations for institutional effectiveness assessment. Results: Malaysia's dual legal system creates jurisdictional tensions between Syariah and civil courts, particularly regarding immovable property administration, resulting in administrative complexity and legal uncertainty that undermines Islamic law effectiveness. Conversely, Brunei's centralized Islamic legal framework demonstrates superior institutional coherence through exclusive Syariah court jurisdiction, enabling direct faraid implementation without inter-court conflicts. The study reveals that approximately RM42 billion in Muslim inheritance remains undistributed in Malaysia due to systematic administrative failures, while Brunei's unified approach achieves greater legal certainty and administrative efficiency. Conclusions: Institutional structures fundamentally determine Islamic inheritance law implementation effectiveness in contemporary Muslim societies. Successful Islamic law implementation requires comprehensive institutional support aligning legal structures with religious objectives rather than mere constitutional recognition. Malaysia's fragmented system inadvertently undermines Islamic law's divine authority through secular intervention, while Brunei's unified approach enhances religious legitimacy and community compliance.

Abstract

Legal protection of personal health data amidst the rapid digitalization of health services, such as telemedicine, electronic medical records, and online consultation applications is very important. Sensitive health data requires careful management, but in fact, many digital service providers in Indonesia have not implemented adequate security standards. The case of the BPJS Kesehatan participant data leak is a real example of the weakness of the data protection system, coupled with the practice of data misuse by digital platforms without valid consent. The method used is qualitative with a normative legal approach, through a literature study of primary and secondary regulations such as Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (UU PDP), the ITE Law, and related Government Regulations and Permenkes. The results of the study show that although regulations are comprehensively available, implementation in the field still faces serious challenges such as the lack of appointment of Data Protection Officers (DPOs), weak supervision, and low awareness of data protection. Real threats such as cyber attacks, data leaks due to negligence, and misuse by third parties are the main issues. Electronic system providers have a great responsibility in building an information security system, preparing privacy policies, and implementing the principle of "privacy by design".
