This paper aims to analyze the embodiment of Efficiency-Justice Principle in Indonesian Retail Regulations. The method used in this research is normative-juridical method, which analyze existing national retail regulations. It proposes appropriate method in embodying Efficiency-Justice Principle in Indonesian Retail Regulations.

Law is designed to bring justice to the people and to establish good public order. The idea of rule of law construction encouraged fundamental changes to the rule of law itself in accordance with country's values and interests. This article focuses on what exactly the substance of law and examines how such substance is understood by society. Furthermore, it analyses the application of such substance of law within the society and government organization. It further intends to enable articulating and emphasizing the law and its actual application in "the wholeness" and "helix" Re-conceptualization of conductive-correlative law substances to the understanding and meaning of the law as a norm that has social moment is necessary. The urgency to reconsider the construction of law substances is encouraged by the real fact, which law has deceived into supporting the power abuse, corruption, collusion and nepotism. This research argues that law is not just a normative abstraction, but also in its form as the totality of empirical phenomena that exist in social entities. Law should be understood in the sense of a dynamic, not static, and not general from the juridical elements. In the reformation era, only conceptual understanding that has the relevance.

The applicability of AEC has a profound impact on the development of economic policy in ASEAN countries, including in cooperatives. This paper examines important aspects related to the effect of MEA on cooperative policy in particular on cooperative oversight/supervision by the government. The supervision of cooperatives in Indonesia experienced a shift from de-officialisasi towards autonomy or independence of cooperatives. It is argued that Law No 25 Year 1992 on Cooperative is silent on the government oversight regulation for cooperative. With the AEC government oversight should not be eliminated completely because supervision aims at ensuring the quality and the cooperative to compete in the free market of AEC. Thus, the Law No. 25 Year 1992 could no longer be used as a basis of reference to deal with AEC. This paper proposes that Indonesian Cooperative Board (Dekopin) should have jurisdiction in supervising cooperative. Such supervision is done by promoting the strengthening of the cooperative that maintains the identity of cooperatives.

Despite sharing a common culture over thousands of years, the modern stance of the Chinese and Taiwanese governments relating to the separation of powers and human rights has taken a drastically different path over the past seven decades. This paper begins with a brief introduction to traditional Chinese jurisprudence and how it has been shaped in recent times by the emergence of Western legal principles. It further examines the correlation between the separation of powers and the diversity of political discussion and level of regulation in the media of the People's Republic of China ('PRC' or 'China') and the Taiwanese Republic of China ('ROC' or 'Taiwan'), and how the constitutional and legislative provisions of each address these concepts and how they reflect international treaties adopted by each government. The emergence of online media to further demonstrate the different stances taken by the PRC and ROC on the adoption of these Western principles is analysed. Finally, the paper will examine the international criticisms the PRC and ROC face for their practices regarding media censorship. Â The paper suggests that maintaining a separation of powers is crucial in order to uphold a free, independent press.

This research essay examines the exploitation of child labour in agriculture, industry and the service sector in Mainland China. Child productivity in China has historically been essential to the survival of the family. However, the globalized environment has drawn emphasis to the reality that children are exploited and subject to dangerous work conditions. The aim of this research is to analyse the international legal framework and human rights conventions safeguarding the rights of the child. This involved the primary analysis of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Minimum Age Convention, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention. The Procedure of the Conclusion of Treaties, Minors Protection Law, Provisions on the Prohibition of Using Child Labour, Regulations Banning Child Labour and Compulsory Education Law were critiqued to determine the effectiveness of China's domestic legislation. The results demonstrated that child labour is currently not prohibited under China's domestic law, a consequence of ineffective implementation of international treaties. To support this legal analysis, it evaluated academic research exploring the economic and cultural circumstances of China. It was found that globalization, rapid economic growth, a lack of education and social and cultural constructions of 'child' and 'childhood' further contributed to the existence of child labour. The significance of these findings is that it highlights the difficulty involved in changing legislation when the economic and cultural forces strongly dictate against it. Children are ultimately unable to access justice as effectively as their adult counterparts do within China's legal framework

This essay aims to address the gaps in research by exploring how non-legal cultural backgrounds and historical contexts can affect how mediation is received in different legal systems. While there is never a discussion of cultural attitudes contributing to the relative success of ADR methods, the comparison reveals just how important culture is when examining legal process. Different legal system results in different perception of justice and thus it is important to identify lesson learn from different experiences and incorporate them into each system to better facilitate dispute resolution in own system.Case studies and legislation, as well as the study of how mediation processes are utilised effectively and are used to argue that culture is an important factor to consider when examining ADR processes. In order to investigate the role of culture in mediation process, this paper uses comparative analyses of mediation process in Australia, China and Taiwan.

The study found that continuous flaring of gas in the region over the last forty years has adversely bring about health challenges, climate change and loss of income in the region in particular and Nigeria as a whole. The study also found that the laws are too many and ineffective and that the regulatory institutions lack the necessary authority for their enforcement. The paper concludes that basic human rights can only be enjoyed in a pollution free environment. The paper therefore recommends amongst other that applicable laws should be amended, harmonized and domesticated where necessary.The study relies on primary and secondary sources of information like Constitution, Constitutional documents, Statutes, Judicial precedents, International Conventions and Treaties, Books, Journals and Internet materials.

The concept of state's sovereignty had become one of debatable issues within the international law studies during the 20th century. International air transport has always been one of the most regulated of industries of globalization. Therefore, airspace sovereignty no escape from the challenges of globalization. This regulatory system has been changing recently because of worldwide initiative that have paved the way for enhancing air transport liberalization. This is why numerous models have been hypothesized for a new (multilateral) aviation order to supersede bilateralism, which still remains the primary vehicle for liberalizing international air transport service for most states. This study intends to discuss about the basic principles of international airspace law that frequently facing challenges in the globalization era. In the last few decades is that the economic aspects of airspace sovereignty have dominated change, or the lack thereof, in the international air sovereignty regime. In addition, there are many challanges in politic and law. In the context of Indonesia airspace challanges, in the near future, it is needed to revitalize the function of the strong regulation. This can be started by re-evaluating the regulations that is continued by the arrangement of the anatomy of the setting that is comprehensive, systematic, careful, effective and also efficient based on two importance that are prosperity and security.
