Abstract

Agriculture, as the primary source of food, is increasingly threatened by land-use conversion driven by urbanization, industrial expansion, and economic transformation—particularly in agrarian countries such as Indonesia and Vietnam. This research aims to analyze the patterns and driving factors behind agricultural land conversion in both countries, assess its impact on sustainable food security, and formulate appropriate policy solutions. Employing a normative legal approach combined with policy analysis, this study draws on primary and secondary data, including legal frameworks, academic literature, and national policies. The findings reveal three key insights. First, land-use change is predominantly driven by institutional weaknesses, legal ambiguities, and a pragmatic legal culture that fails to adequately safeguard agricultural land. Second, both countries exhibit similar trends in the conversion of productive farmland to non-agricultural uses, leading to reduced food land availability, ecological degradation, and socio-economic disruptions for farming communities. Third, a policy reconstruction is urgently needed—one that involves harmonized and enforceable regulations, institutional strengthening, and participatory economic mechanisms to ensure land protection. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the critical need for integrated and sustainable policy frameworks to maintain food security, promote environmental sustainability, and uphold social justice in the Southeast Asian region.

Abstract

Indonesia has enacted a regulation on land acquisition for public purposes through the Job Creation Law, aiming to accelerate infrastructure development. However, a critical question arises as to whether the law effectively ensures justice for the affected communities. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of the Job Creation Law on land procurement for infrastructure projects, with a particular focus on its ability to balance public interest and individual rights. Employing normative legal research, this study is based on the analysis of secondary data, including primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings reveal that while the regulation provides a legal framework for land acquisition with compensation mechanisms, it often leads to disputes between the government and affected communities due to conflicting interests. Furthermore, several challenges hinder the implementation of land acquisition, such as incomplete planning documents, inadequate permits, and inconsistencies in development plans. In conclusion, although the law promotes development, its implementation must be improved to better ensure fairness, legal certainty, and public justice.

Abstract

Indonesia currently prohibits marijuana under its classification as a Category I narcotic, which disallows any form of medical use. However, various studies have shown that marijuana can potentially treat up to 36 different diseases. This research aims to analyze the appropriate regulatory model for medical marijuana based on the principle of justice as rooted in Pancasila. The study adopts a normative legal research method, relying on secondary data comprising primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings reveal three key points. First, current legal provisions in Indonesia do not specifically regulate the use of marijuana for medical purposes, and existing regulations address narcotics only in general terms. Second, global research, including positions taken by the World Health Organization and the United Nations, supports the medical benefits of marijuana, yet the Indonesian government maintains a restrictive stance. Third, legalizing medical marijuana could be achieved through revising the Narcotics Law and removing marijuana from the list of Category I narcotics. In conclusion, the development of a regulatory model for medical marijuana based on Pancasila justice requires balancing scientific evidence, legal reform, and ethical considerations in public health policy.

Abstract

Traffic crimes in Indonesia have shown a consistent increase, often leading to material damage, physical injury, and loss of life. The conventional criminal justice system, which predominantly emphasizes retributive punishment, has proven insufficient in addressing the underlying causes of traffic offenses and in delivering substantive justice for both victims and offenders. In light of these challenges, restorative justice offers a promising alternative approach that prioritizes reconciliation, offender accountability, and the restoration of social harmony. This research aims to examine the urgency and feasibility of adopting restorative justice as a policy framework for resolving traffic crimes in Indonesia. Employing normative legal research methods, the study is based on secondary data derived from statutory regulations, legal literature, and doctrinal analysis. The results indicate that Indonesian traffic law does not yet explicitly incorporate restorative justice principles, despite their proven effectiveness in other jurisdictions for handling minor and non-violent offenses. Practices such as mediation and victim-offender dialogue have demonstrated success in reducing recidivism and enhancing victim satisfaction. The study concludes that integrating restorative justice into traffic crime resolution could reduce case backlogs, restore community trust in the legal system, and promote a more compassionate, efficient approach to justice. Comprehensive legal reform and institutional readiness are essential for effective implementation.

Abstract

The Supervisory Board of Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) holds significant potential to strengthen ethical standards and prevent the abuse of power. However, its effectiveness remains hindered by persistent issues, particularly concerning its independence, transparency, and vulnerability to political interference. This study aims to evaluate the role of the Supervisory Board in institutionalizing accountability and compares its framework with the supervisory model adopted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), which is known for its inclusive and multi-layered oversight structure. Employing a normative legal research method, this study integrates a qualitative approach, comparative legal analysis, review of relevant literature, and a case study of the MACC’s supervisory system. The findings reveal that Malaysia’s model, which incorporates multiple independent oversight bodies and encourages public participation, promotes stronger accountability and transparency. In contrast, the centralized nature of the KPK Supervisory Board, which places significant control within the executive branch, raises concerns over potential political intervention and conflicts of interest. The study concludes that to function effectively as a credible accountability mechanism, the KPK Supervisory Board requires institutional reform. Enhancing its structural independence and transparency is essential to ensuring its role in the sustainable fight against corruption in Indonesia.
