Criminal Justice Procedure (CJP) can be described as the collective means through which a person accused of an offence passes until the accusations have been disposed of or the assessed punishment concluded. Arguably, CJP in Nigeria took an enviable turn around with the enactment of a new principal enactment, Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) which has repositioned the CJP in Nigeria by addressing the seemingly inadequacies in Criminal Procedure Act (CPA) and Criminal Procedure Code (CPC), harmonizing the CPA and CPC, codifying most age-long judicial pronouncements on CPA and CPC and addressing human rights abuses in erstwhile applicable laws thereby catapulting the CJP in Nigeria to an enviable position in the comity of nations. Recent judicial pronouncements in Nigeria on ACJA are worrisome and questions the readiness of the Judiciary as a stakeholder in Criminal Justice System to address the menace of delay in criminal trials which the ACJA aimed to address by introducing novel provisions target towards speedy dispensation of justice in criminal trials. The research methodology used in this study is systematic review and normative, by analyzing principal and secondary enactments in Nigerian CJP with judicial interpretations. While emphasizing the prospects of the ACJA, this paper also highlighted the challenges and suggested solutions to same. Despite its defects, the ACJA is a landmark development in the Nigerian Criminal Justice Procedure and all States of the Federation are therefore enjoined to domesticate the law.

Illegal investment is a very disturbing business crime. The number of victims and the large value of losses make the case of illegal investment getting special attention. The return of losses from the proceeds of crime is actually the right of the victim, but in law enforcement practice, confiscated objects are usually returned to the state, not to the victim as the rightful party. This study will discuss the problems of investment law in business activities, illegal investment in crime terminology and victims' rights to confiscated objects. This research is a normative juridical research examining the legal vacuum of confiscation of assets to be returned to the victim. Investment is a business activity protected by law. In its development, there are investment irregularities in the form of illegal investments, namely investments that are not licensed and carried out against the law. Illegal investment in the terminology of crime is not explicitly stated, but this act is punishable by fraud and money laundering. The proceeds of crime are traced and confiscated, but in legal practice, the return is given to the state. In future legal reformulations, it is necessary to stipulate provisions regarding the seizure of assets; therefore, the victims can get their rights.

Online loans are an alternative source of loans for the public. Online lending has grown rapidly. Financial technology companies are online loan providers. Financial technology companies use various ways to collect loans that are not paid by customers when they are due. One of the debt collection methods is to distribute photos and debt collection stories of the customer to the contacts in the customer's mobile number. This distribution has caused unrest for the people contacted either via messenger or via SMS. This research aims to discuss the pattern of debt collection by financial technology companies from a juridical viewpoint. This research uses the juridical normative method. This research concludes that data retrieval and data dissemination constitute a violation of personal data protection for customers and people who receive news and SMS. Retrieval of data without approval or contacting a loan with another party without prior knowledge has violated the personal domain of the data owner. The government needs to immediately issue regulations regarding the protection of personal data related to electronic transactions.

In order to accelerate the handling Covid-19, the Government has issued a policy that impose administrative sanction for those refusing Covid-19 vaccination. This journal underlines and focuses the administrative sanction for those who refuse to take the vaccinations. Those sanctions could be social security termination, and/or administrative service moratorium. While it is assumed that this policy is urgently needed in addressing the pandemic issue, it also leads to other issues. The first is that whether those administrative sanctions are compliant with law principles and human rights protection. Another is whether there are legal implications for those who refuse to take vaccinations. Method adopted in this research is normative law research method based on facts, issues, regulations, analysis, and conclusion (FIRAK). This journal points out two results. Firstly, the right to obtain health service is a part of human rights. In order to fulfill that right and to achieve a greater good, the Government is responsible to create a clean and healthy environment. Thus, providing Covid-19 vaccinations and imposing administrative sanction comply with law principles and human rights protection. The latter, legal implication from such policy is that the vaccination is mandatory. Thus, those refusing it would be imposed administrative sanctions. It is expected that this policy would become a legal formulation in addressing and handling the Covid-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this research is to implement the Siracusa Principles as the basis for the formulation and evaluation of public policies that have the potential to restrict people's rights and freedoms during social restrictions. This research uses the statutory and conceptual approaches of normative juridical methods as instruments of analysis. The findings of this paper include 667 cases of human rights violations released by LBH Jakarta throughout 2020. There are result of the government's social restriction policy to suppress COVID-19 transmission. Although Article 4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) allows governments to restrict certain rights during public emergencies that threaten the life of the nation, states are not allowed to arbitrarily restrict people's rights and freedoms. Therefore, a mechanism is needed that can set restrictions on public rights in a balanced manner. In this regard, the Siracusa Principles can be implemented as a basis for the formulation of public policy through human rights due diligence and evaluating the government's compliance in implementing its policies. The novelty of this paper contains comprehensive discourses and recommendations in reformulating social restriction policies that are less friendly to human rights protection through restrictions on rights proportionally and internationally, and allow for the existence of check and balances mechanisms for the course of public policy. Therefore, with the implementation of the Siracusa Principles can be the basis for establishing restrictions on rights proportionally in order to develop policies of social restrictions and health quarantine that are more friendly to human rights protection and can minimize the occurrence of policy formulation errors that have the potential to violate human rights.

The purpose of this study was to describe the position of the state emergency law as the basis for the issuance of the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law and to examine the consistency of the position of the state emergency law in the implementation of regional elections during the pandemic. This study used normative juridical research with conceptual, statutory, philosophical, and case-study approaches. Sources of legal materials in this study consisted of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results showed that the Covid-19 pandemic is declared a non-natural disaster to be qualified as coercive urgency, which is a requirement for enacting the state emergency law. However, there is a logical inconsistency about the Covid-19 pandemic concerning regional elections. On the one hand, the Covid-19 is used as an argument to declare the state in an emergency so that it is necessary to issue a state emergency law in the form of the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law. On the other hand, the regional head election is still be held during the pandemic. If the Covid-19 pandemic is considered a state emergency, the regional head election must be postponed until the pandemic is over.
