Abstract

The transformation of Indonesia into a digital state has intensified the use of digital surveillance technologies, including big data analytics, biometric systems, and algorithmic monitoring, in the name of public administration, security, and governance efficiency. While these developments promise administrative effectiveness, they simultaneously pose serious constitutional challenges to the protection of privacy as a fundamental right. This article examines the normative position of privacy within Indonesia’s constitutional framework and analyzes the problem of normative ambiguity surrounding state surveillance in the digital era. Employing normative juridical research with statute, conceptual, and case approaches, this study identifies the absence of clear constitutional limits on surveillance authority, vague standards for public interest and national security justifications, and weak mechanisms of accountability and oversight. The findings demonstrate that such ambiguity risks legitimizing an over-surveillance state and undermines legal certainty and substantive constitutional protection. This article argues that privacy in the digital state must be reconstructed as a core constitutional safeguard through clear legal bases, proportionality requirements, mandatory judicial authorization, and independent supervisory mechanisms, ensuring a balanced relationship between state power and fundamental rights.

Abstract

The development of digital technology characterized by the use of artificial intelligence has given birth to new forms of crime that are complex, anonymous, and cross-border, thus challenging the conventional construction of criminal law. The character of digital-based crime shows a fundamental shift from physical crime to system, data, and algorithm-based crime, which has not been fully accommodated in Indonesia's criminal law policy. This research aims to analyze the construction of criminal law policy in tackling digital-based crime in the era of artificial intelligence and formulate the idea of adaptive and fair criminal law policy reconstruction. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach, through an analysis of Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. The results of the study show that criminal law policy is still reactive, fragmentary, and dominated by the classical paradigm, thus causing problems in the formulation of delicacies, criminal liability, and proof of crimes based on artificial intelligence. Criminal law policy reconstruction is needed through paradigm reform, harmonization of norms, strengthening the criminal accountability model, and integrating penal and non-penal policies to ensure legal certainty, community protection, and justice in the digital era.

Abstract

General elections are the main pillars of Indonesian democracy as stipulated in Article 27 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. The younger generation, which makes up about 55% of the total electorate, has a strategic role in determining the political direction of the nation. However, the phenomenon of political apathy and white groups (golput) among the younger generation shows a low awareness of their constitutional rights and obligations. This research aims to analyze efforts to increase the political awareness of the younger generation through political education and legal socialization. The method used is counseling and mentoring activities for students of SMK Negeri 8 Information and Communication Technology Jayapura on July 25, 2025. The results of the study show that systematic and comprehensive political education is able to increase the understanding of the younger generation about the importance of participation in elections, the right to vote as citizens, as well as the dangers of politicization and irrational mobilization. In conclusion, increasing the political awareness of the younger generation requires synergy between election organizers, the government, and educational institutions to form rational, critical, and actively participating voters in the democratic process.

Abstract

Harmonization of mineral and coal mining (minerba) licensing regulations is a crucial issue in the national legal system, particularly following the amendment to the Minerba Law and its integration into the Job Creation Law regime. These regulatory dynamics have raised issues of norm synchronization, both vertically and horizontally, which impact legal certainty and natural resource governance. This study aims to analyze the normative construction of mineral and coal licensing within the regulatory hierarchy, identify forms of norm conflict, and formulate the urgency of regulatory harmonization from a rule of law perspective. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statute approach, a conceptual approach, and a legal system approach. Primary legal materials include the 1945 Constitution, the Minerba Law, the Job Creation Law, the Regional Government Law, and environmental and spatial planning regulations, which are analyzed prescriptively. The results show norm conflict in the form of central-regional authority conflicts, disharmony between mining business permits and environmental approvals, and overlaps between WIUPs and land rights. This situation undermines the principle of legal certainty (rechtssicherheit), potentially violating the principles of utility and justice, and weakening the legitimacy of state administrative actions. Harmonizing regulations through legislative review, strengthening norm synchronization mechanisms, and consistently applying the principles of lex superior, lex specialis, and lex posterior are prerequisites for realizing equitable and sustainable mining governance.

Abstract

The development of blockchain technology has given rise to smart contracts as a self-executing, decentralized, code-based contractual mechanism. Their presence poses conceptual and normative challenges in the Indonesian contract law system, particularly regarding the legal standing and construction of the parties' responsibilities amidst a normative vacuum. This study aims to analyze the legal status of smart contracts from the perspective of Indonesian civil law and to formulate a relevant legal liability model for blockchain-based transactions. The research method used is normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches. Primary legal materials include the Civil Code, the Electronic Transactions and Transactions Law, and regulations related to electronic transactions, while secondary legal materials include doctrine, liability theory, and literature on blockchain. The results show that smart contracts can be qualified as agreements as long as they meet the valid requirements of an agreement as stipulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code. However, their immutable and automated nature creates tensions with the principles of freedom of contract and good faith. The identification of legal subjects in the blockchain ecosystem includes users, developers, validators, and platforms, with liability models that can be based on fault liability or the possibility of strict liability under certain conditions. The absence of norms has the potential to give rise to disparities in interpretation and legal uncertainty, so that a normative reconstruction is needed that is adaptive to the character of decentralization to ensure legal certainty, justice, and benefits.

Abstract

The position of the Notary as a public official who is authorized to make authentic deeds places him in a strategic position in the civil law proof system as well as in the criminal law enforcement process. In practice, it is not uncommon for a notary to be called and checked at the stage of the investigation regarding the deed drawn up by him. This study aims to analyze the concept of notary position in the investigation process as well as the mechanism of summoning and examination of notaries as witnesses after the decision of the Constitutional Court decision Number 49/PUU-X/2012. The method used is normative legal research with a legislative and conceptual approach, especially to the Notary Office Act and the Code of Criminal Procedure. The results showed that notaries can be called as witnesses, experts, or related parties, but still bound by the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the position. After the Constitutional Court decision, the mechanism for calling notaries must still pay attention to the principle of protecting positions through special procedures as stipulated in Article 66 of the UUJN. Therefore, a balance is needed between the authority of investigators in uncovering criminal acts and the protection of the dignity and independence of the notary profession in order to ensure certainty, justice, and legal expediency.
