Agrarian reform is in essence a government policy attempting to restructure land ownership and control. President Jokowi’s government set the target of 9 million hectares of which 4.1 million hectares is classified formerly as forest land. It was and still is no easy task. But this agrarian reform, involving mostly change of ownership of forest land and redistribution, is considered necessary as part of effort to guarantee society’s welfare. This article purports to analyse the legal framework of forest land release and related problems. To do that a juridical dogmatic approach will be used and with secondary data as primary source of information. The main finding of this research is that real problems arises in the context of implementing the Environmental and Forest Ministerial Decree Number180/Menlhk/Setjen/kum.1/4/2017 which provides guidance in regard the procedure and requirements to be met for forest land release. In the case that in the process, land ownership dispute arose, stakeholders should seek guidance from Presidential RegulationNumber 88/2017 regarding Settlement of Land Management/Ownership in Forest Land.

Revenge porn is a new growing modus operandi of crime in society. Law enforcement still considers porn revenge as a pornographic crime in general as it is an activity of disseminating information that violates decency. Approach used by law enforcement in assessing revenge porn is still limited to formal juridical approach without considering the characteristics of porn revenge that substantive justice is not fulfilled. As part of a full understanding of porn revenge, a Criminological understanding of the Sobural approach is made. Two issues to be studied are (1) what is the significance of using the Sobural approach? And (2) Is revenge porn a decency crime based on the Sobural approach? Empirical juridical research method is used in this study by basing on a primer in the form of legislation supported by criminal law theory related to revenge porn. Exposure from primary data is associated with secondary data in the form of Judge Judgment to see understanding of defeating of revenge porn by a judge. The results of the study show that criminological understanding of porn revenge provides a very significant different approach in criminal law. Revenge porn is judged by the context of the community in which the perpetrators and acts of revenge porn are performed. Sobural (Social, Cultural and Structural) approach affirms contextual assessment of porn revenge based on social values, cultural values and structural factors of society. The approach of these three elements has a close correlation with the moral norms as the measure of defamation of crime of pornography as a decency crime. The integration of the Sobural approach to the understanding of moral norms in assessing porn revenge will provide an opportunity for the enforcement of living laws in society.

Criminal law should provide protection to all citizens (individually or communities) without regard to their ethnicity, race or religion. In addition, it is also important that its implementation should be done non-discriminatively. This research is done using a normative juridical approach. The most important finding is that a number of penal regulations (inter alia, prohibiting blasphemy, genocide or in the criminal code draft relating to extra-marital sex) in its implementation and enforcement results in discrimination or even worse persecution of minority groups. The author here argues that, in order to guarantee the principle of equal treatment before the law and protection of (religious) minority groups, those penal regulations should be harmonized and read within the context of other existing penal rules.

This paper, using a comparative law method, discusses the controversy concerning the meaning and interpretation of strict liability as found in the Indonesian Consumer Protection Law. How in Indonesia this concept is understood will be compared to how the same concept (strict liability) is developed within the Dutch civil law system and the common law system (especially in the United Kingdom(UK)and United State of America (USA)). A brief description of the meaning and development of the concept in Indonesia will be given, including the historical trajectory of the concept within those different systems and the important case laws in the Netherlands, UK and USA. All this will provide a background for the author to discuss and criticize the strict liability concept as found regulated in Law No. 8 of 199 on Consumer Protection.

Each of these issues will be juxtaposes to contemporary legal discourse. Separately the issue of legal scholarship will be just apose to the praxis of legal research methodology and legal education; legal development to “law and development” paradigm; legal pluralism to rule of law.

AbstractThe research argue that in the absence of an internationally negotiated provisions that explicitly regulate foreign peacetime military activities in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of another States, States should consider the incident case per case as well as may employed the guideline prepared by highly reputed international legal scholars. This is essential to avoid unnecessary conflict between the Coastal State and the State conducting military activities in the EEZ. The aforementioned conclusion is reached by first analysing the definition of the peacetime military activities of the State. The research would also examine the negotiation process and its negotiated provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982 resulted from the negotiation, regulating EEZ. Subsequently, the research would examining of the practice of the States interpreting the UNCLOS 1982’s EEZ provisions, including providing the options as an interim solutions for the void in the legal instruments in the matter.

The general public in 2017 hotly debated the implemented selection process of Judges. The focus is on the issue of government involvement in the selection process which potentially jeopardize the judiciary’s independence. In discussing this particular issue, the author uses a juridical normative or dogmatic approach and other data is collected by the use of library research . In addition, the author also compares the existing policy and rules/regulation concerning judge selection from different government’ era (the Old & New Order). A number of conclusions can be drawn from this comparison, i.e. that during the Old dan New Order Government, the judiciary was never considered independent. The government on a regular basis intervene in the selection process, appointment and placement of judges and have a strong say in their professional carrer path. In contrast, only after the fall of the New Order Government, did the Judiciary enjoy independence which is guaranteed by virtue of Law 35/1999 and the 1945 Constitution (amended version). Unfortunately though the Supreme Court decide to bring back in the government in the selection process and in doing that jeopardize the judicary’s independence.
