Abstract

AbstractSooner or later Indonesia will have its own law of contract. Reasons for this statement are, firstly, current Indonesian contract law is actually a law that is provided in the Book III of old Dutch Civil Code that is not being used anymore by Dutch. Secondly, due to the difference of Indonesian way and philosophy of life, social norm and structure in the society, some provisions in the “Indonesian Contract Law” are incompliance with Indonesian nation characters. From the analysis of this research, it found that firstly, western civil law is different from the adat civil law; the western civil law are more individualistic, while the adat civil law are communalistic.  In their development, however, the western law has gone through collectivization process and the adat law has gone through individualistic process. Secondly, there are two main factors, which influence the formation of law, namely: ideal and real factors.  Principles of kinship, mutual assistance, and mutual helping are the ideal factor in the national contract law compilation, as for the principles of respecting each other, appropriateness and harmonious are the real factors.   Thirdly, Indonesian contractual law (Dutch old Civil Code), in The Netherlands, with the Netherlands New Civil Code (NBW) lead to more clear direction, broader scope, and focus on term of application. This could be seen on how Dutch Civil Law develops regulations related to good faith principle. Fourthly, with the development of good faith principle in The Netherlands, the principles of adat law has chance to be reflected and to be applied on national contract law. The possible way to reflect the principles of adat law inside national contract law is through using the good faith principle on contract law. Therefore, it is suggested that adat law principles should be use as a back ground and principles of New Indonesian Contract Law in the future.Keywords : The New Indonesian Contract Law, Principles of Adat LawAbstractCepat atau lambat Indonesia akan memiliki hukum perjanjiannya sendiri. Alasan dari pernyataan ini adalah bahwa, pertama, hukum kontrak Indoensia sekarang adalah sebenarnya hukum yang diatur dalam Buku III dari KUH Perdata Lama yang tidak lagi digunakan di negera Belanda. Kedua, karena perbedaan padangan dan fisafat hidup, norma dan struktur sosial dalam masyarakat, beberapa ketentuan dalam Hukum Kontrak Indonesia tidak sesuai dengan sifat dari bangsa Indonesia. Dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa, pertama, asas-asas hukum perdata barat jika dihadapkan dengan asas-asas hukum perdata adat maka asas-asas hukum perdata barat cenderung bersifat individualistik sedangkan asas hukum perdata adat cenderung bersifat komunalistik. Hukum barat dalam perkembangannya mengalami proses koletivisasi sedangkan hukum adat mengalami proses indvidualisasi. Kedua, ada dua faktor yang mempengaruhi terbentuknya suatu hukum yakni faktor idiil dan faktor riil. Asas-asas kekeluargaan, gotong-royong, dan tolong-menolong merupakan asas yang hukum adat yang merupakan faktor idiil dalam pembentukan hukum kontrak Nasional, sedangkan asas rukun, kepatutan atau kepantasan dan laras (harmoni) merupakan asas hukum adat yang merupakan faktor riil dalam pembentukan hukum kontrak nasional. Ketiga, hukum perjanjian Indonesia (KUH Pdt Belanda Lama), di Belanda, dengan the Netherlands New Civil Code (NBW) kearah yang lebih jelas, lebih luas cakupannya, dan lebih terarah penerapannya. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari bagaimana Hukum Perdata Belanda mengembangkan peraturan yang mengandung asas itikad baik. Keempat, dengan perkembangan pengaturan asas itikad baik yang terjadi di Belanda, asas-asas hukum adat berpeluang untuk tampil dan dipergunakan dalam hukum kontrak nasional. Cara yang mungkin dilakukan untuk menampilkan asas-asas hukum adat dalam hukum kontrak nasional adalah dengan menggunakan proses konkretisasi asas itikad baik dalam hukum kontrak sebagai sarananya. Dengan demikian, seyogyanya asas-asas hukum adat tersebut di atas merupakan landasan dan latar belakang pembentukan hukum kontrak Indonesia yang akan datang.Katakunci : Hukum Kontrak Indonesia yang akan datang, Prinsip-prinsip Hukum Adat

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis research was conducted wih library research to obtain secondary data and field research to obtain primary data.The results of this study indicate that in the view of Islamic Scientist, Zakat Management Act there are some drawbacks. First, under the coordination of placement BAZNAS, LAZ cause has no authority, but on the other side of the LAZ are required to make the report public accounting. Second, LAZ could only have authority when a public organization that has a community empowerment program, but this provision may result in unfair LAZ in the management of zakat, as it will further the interests of these organizations. Third, to implement the Zakat Management Act needs to be made  government regulation, so that its implemen- tation will bring benefits to the community and not cause harm. According to the criminal scientist, the provisions of article 41 UUPZ which impose criminal sanctions for unlicensed LAZ that felt quite right, because the intent of legislator of UUPZ, zakat management is done professionally so that it will create a prosperous society, as well as the criteria of the criminalization of the LAZ is not permitted, which include the purpose of imposition of penalty, the onset of the victim, the principle of cost and the results, the ability of law enforcement officials and the public support, are not appropriate.Keyword : zakat, LAZ,criminalitation AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengelolaan zakat yang dilakukan oleh lembaga pengelola zakat apabila ditinjau dari perspektif Hukum Islam dan untuk mengetahui kriminalisasi dalam Pasal 41 UU No. 23Tahun 2011 tentang Pengelolaan Zakat ditinjau dari perspektif Hukum Pidana. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian yuridis empiris yang dilakukan melalui penelitian pustaka dan penelitian lapangan dengan metode Focus Group Discussion. Narasumber adalah para ahli hukum Islam dan Hukum Pidana, sedangkan para responden adalah pengelola Lembaga Amil Zakat yang berada di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, baik pengelola dari Lembaga Amil Zakat yang telah berijin maupun yang belum berijin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ahli hukum Islam menyatakan bahwa para ulama sepakat, wajib atas penguasa untuk mengangkat amil atau lembaga pengelola zakat. Namun, rumusan pengelolaan zakat secara sentralisasi berada di tangan pemerintah, masih dapat diperdebatkan dengan melihat peran masyarakat yang gemilang dalam pengelolaan zakat melalui LAZ. Kriteria kriminalisasi yang meliputi pemidanaan harus memperhatikan tujuannya, adanya unsur victimizing, prinsip biaya dan hasil, dan dukungan masyarakat, tidak terpenuhi dalam mengkriminalisasi LAZ seperti yang ditentukan dalam Pasal 41 UU Pengelolaan Zakat. Maksud dari pemerintah membentuk UUPZ baru, adalah untuk lebih meningkatkan pengumpulan, pendistribusian dan pendayagunaan zakat, sehingga dapat menciptakan masyarakat Indonesia yang sejahtera. Mencermati maksud tersebut, dirasakan kurang tepat ketentuan pemidanaan bagi LAZ karena tidak adanya catatan buruk kinerja LAZ dan apabila hukum dipandang sebagai alat untuk melakukan perubahan sosial, yaitu mengubah masyarakat yang miskin menjadi sejahtera, maka selayaknya bukan pendekatan sanksi yang dilakukan melainkan dengan pendekatan berupa insentif.Kata kunci : Zakat, Lembaga Amil Zakat, kriminalisasi

The village must rise and grow in the dynamic global life greater challenge. ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is also a challenge for rural communities in competition. Rural communities should also be changed according to the demands of an increasingly global era. Infrastructure development should also continue to be made at the village level. Besides, the village required to be creative, innovative and participatory resource management in the village. Potential villages still buried in village life should be utilized for the welfare of the villagers. To manage the potential and the resources needed rural village human resources and quality management transparent and accountable, so that the potential of the village can be extracted and properly managed and optimized. This is a serious concern in the management of village resources, given the enormous potentials that exist in the village to be developed and used as a source of rural income that has not been optimized in its management. Abuses of authority and corruption at the village level are becoming increasingly vulnerable in the management of village resources. Given the central government through the Village Act already allocated funds for the village at 1 Billion - 1.4 Billion according to the needs of the village. Including the management of village resources in it. Management of village resources that are not appropriate in its implementation, will be a “hot ball” for the village government. Therefore, it is necessary for early prevention of corruption at the village level in the management of village resources to do, namely the village leadership that is transparent and accountable, improving the quality of rural human resources, information systems and the optimization of the village.Keywords: public policy, corruption, village resources, villageAbstrakMunculnya Undang-Undang Desa Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa memberikan ruang yang seluas- luasnya kepada pemerintah desa untuk mengatur dan mengelola desanya dalam rangka meningkatkan pembangunan desa dan kesejahteraan masyarakat desa. Desa harus bangkit dan tumbuh dalam dinamika kehidupan global yang semakin besar tantangannya. Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA) juga menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi masyarakat desa dalam berdaya saing. Mindset masyarakat desa harus dirubah sesuai dengan tuntutan zaman yang semakin global. Pembangunan infrastruktur juga harus terus dilakukan ditingkat desa. Disamping itu desa dituntut untuk kreatif, inovatif dan partisipatif dalam pengelolaan sumber daya desa. Potensi desa yang masih terpendam dalam kehidupan masyarakat desa harus dimanfaatkan untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat desa. Untuk mengelola potensi dan sumber daya desa dibutuhkan sumber daya manusia desa yang berkualitas dan manajemen pengelolaan yang transparan dan akuntabel, sehingga potensi-potensi desa dapat digali dan dikelola secara baik dan optimal. Hal ini menjadi perhatian serius dalam pengelolaan sumber daya desa, mengingat besarnya potensi-potensi yang ada di desa untuk dapat dikembangkan dan dijadikan sebagai sumber pendapatan desa yang belum dioptimalkan dalam pengelolaannya. Tindakan penyalahgunaan wewenang dan korupsi ditingkat desa menjadi semakin rentan dalam pengelolaan sumber daya desa. Mengingat pemerintah pusat melalui UU Desa sudah mengalokasikan dana desa untuk sebesar 1 Miliyar – 1,4 Miliyarsesuai dengan kebutuhan desa. Termasuk pengelolaan sumber daya desa di dalamnya. Pengelolaan sumber daya desa yang tidak tepat dalam implementasinya, akan menjadi “bola panas” bagi pemerintah desa. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan pencegahan dini terhadap tindak pidana korupsi di tingkat desa dalam pengelolaan sumber daya desa yang harus dilakukan, yaitu kepemimpinan desa yang transparan dan akuntabel, peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia desa, dan optimalisasi sistem informasi desa.Kata kunci: kebijakan publik, tindak pidana korupsi, sumber daya desa, desa

Abstract

ABSTRACT            Criminal law enforcement in Indonesia may lack of the justice sense and furthermore highlight the rule of law, this is due to the influence of the philosophy of positivism developed in Europe mainland which has liberal-individualist ideology. This ideology wants everything to be rational and certainty, including legal issues must be no certainty. The purpose of this matter is to protect the rights of individuals. While the Indonesian society is a society that does not highlight the rights of individuals, but respects the balance between individual rights and collective rights. Thus, our criminal law enforcement is still sourced from Indonesian Penal Code which is a replica of the Wetboek Van Strafrech (WVS) created by the Dutch colonialists Government will not materialize justice. It is necessary to face these issues with two steps as the following i.e, first one: the law enforcement agencies in using the law needs a more progressive interpretation, therefore a sense of justice can be realized. Second one, it needs to be realized in accordance with the criminal law reform ideology of kinship based on the values of Pancasila as an ideology of the Indonesia. Such measures are expected to materialize justice in the criminal law enforcement of Indonesia.Keywords: Criminal Law, Law Enforcement, Justice.

Abstract

In order to realize a single ASEAN market through the free flow of investment in ASEAN, the ASEAN member states have agreed on the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement or known by the term ACIA signed in Cha-Am (Thailand) on February 26, 2009. The issue is how the rule of law against the liberalization of foreign investment in the ACIA Agreement and how its influence on Indonesia. This research method is a normative juridical research by using a qualitative data analysis technique. Based on the Article 1 (a) of ACIA related to the purpose of the establishment of ACIA the ACIA Agreement contains the legal concept of foreign investment: an investment regime that is "free and open" in ASEAN in order to achieve the ultimate goal of economic integration within the ASEAN Economic Community. This is done through progressive liberalization measures on investment regimes in the Member States of ASEAN. The concept of investment liberalization in the ASEAN region is also well supported by the principles of National Treatment (Article 5 of ACIA) and the principles of Most Favored Nation Treatment/MFN Treatment (Article 6, paragraph 1 of ACIA) in which these two principles are widely known as the principles of law in international economic law. While Indonesia itself has been also engaged in signing and ratifying the ACIA Agreement through Presidential Regulations No. 49 of 2011. This certainly provides a challenge and an opportunity to take advantage of this Agreement, as well as adjust the settings of Indonesian foreign investment (Law No. 25 of 2007) with the consent of the ACIA.Keywords: Implementation; Liberalization of Investment; ASEAN Region; Influence and Indonesia.

Abstract

People’s Consultative Assemly (hereinafter reffered to MPR) membership consisting of members of the House of Representative (hereinafter reffered to DPR) and Regional Representative Council (hereinafter reffered to DPD) members indicates that the MPR is still viewed as a representative body of the people because of its membership elected in the general election. The change of position of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), then the understanding of the form of popular sovereignty is reflected in three branches of power, namely the representative institution, the President, and the holder of the judicial power. Problem formulation discussed are: 1) How is the position of the People's Consultative Assembly as the implementer of people's sovereignty in Indonesia before the amendment of the 1945 Constitution? 2) How the position of MPR members coming from the DPD after the Amendment of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The research method used in this research is Normative Law research method, which uses secondary data. The discussion in this research: 1) the MPR as the executor of the sovereignty of the People in Indonesia, prior to the 1945 amendment, we see in the provisions On Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution stipulates that: "Sovereignty is in the hands of the people, and carried out according to the law basic". In the above article it contains three meanings, namely: a). The sovereignty of the people is implemented by all state institutions established in the Constitution, b). The sovereignty of the people must be subject to the constitution, c) constitutional supremacy. People's sovereignty is limited by the rules of the Constitution and constitutional democracy. 2) Position of MPR members originating from DPD after the Amendment of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. After the fourth amendment of the 1945 Constitution, (hereinafter referred to as the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia), there is a fairly fundamental change in both the state administration system and the state institutions in Indonesia .
