Abstract

Corruption crimes in Indonesia are on the rise, particularly through illicit enrichment where individuals accumulate wealth outside of legitimate income. Although Indonesia has ratified the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), the specific issue of illicit enrichment outlined in Article 20 has yet to be implemented in national legislation. This article aims to investigate current and potential future strategies to combat such corruption.  The research is a normative study using a comparative law approach and corpus-based critical analysis to assess Indonesia's anti-corruption efforts, explore the international standards set by illicit enrichment regulations, and draw lessons from the unexplained wealth laws in the United Kingdom and Australia. This research concludes that Indonesia has ratified UNCAC, but illicit enrichment in Article 20 of UNCAC has not been regulated in the law, so the practice of corruption is still so massive. To overcome this, strategic steps are needed in the future, such as revising the corruption law to include illicit enrichment regulations, optimizing institutions through bureaucratic reform, and activating community participation. Therefore, these three steps are very important in implementing the Illicit Enrichment regulation in advancing the corruption eradication agenda in Indonesia in the future.

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to examine the regulatory frameworks governing the prohibitions of torture in warfare to determine their adequacy in protecting civilian populations against torture during armed hostilities. To address the threat posed by torture in warfare against the civilian populations, the regulatory frameworks on International Humanitarian Law (IHL), International Human Rights Law (IHRL) and International Criminal Law (ICL) are examined. It may be argued that although this regulatory framework is aimed at guaranteeing safety of the civilian populations in situations of armed hostilities but are not capable of dealing with the current challenges. The paper employs a doctrinal approach by identifying and analyzing the applicable rules of IHL, IHRL, and ICL. It demonstrates how these laws impact the basic rights of civilian populations during armed conflicts. The paper found that despite the performance of the Tribunals as regulatory measures, they are confronted with several challenges prosecution and enforcement of their decisions. The paper concludes with recommendations that are relevant to address the challenges in order to ensure that the various frameworks are effectively implemented by States to safeguard the civilian populations from acts of torture during armed hostilities.

Abstract

Technological sophistication is observed to be increasing the necessity for digitalization of Islamic banks in Indonesia to avoid being abandoned by their customers, as conventional banks rapidly advance their digital offerings and set higher expectations for financial services. However, these banks are required to comply with Sharia principles for their products and services. This study was conducted to analyze the justification of digitalization of Islamic banking system and compliance of the digital services implemented to Sharia principles. It employed doctrinal legal study methods. Data were retrieved from literature references and were analysed qualitatively using a conceptual and statutory approach. The results showed several reasons to justify digitalization of Islamic banking system and these include the current demand for digital products and services, the prevalence of the millennial generation, and the legal backing provided for the advancement in Indonesia. These principles mandate that Islamic banks must avoid practices involving maisir (gambling), gharar (obscurity), haram (prohibited activities), riba (usury), and zalim (injustice). This study is novel in its comprehensive analysis of how digitalization can be harmonized with Sharia principles in the Indonesian context, providing a unique legal and practical framework for Islamic banks aiming to modernize their services while maintaining religious compliance.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the neutrality regulations of civil servants in general elections. To achieve this goal, analysis was carried out on secondary data or library materials consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. To complete secondary data, interviews were conducted with sources consisting of experts in the field of civil service law and general elections, as well as practitioners such as the State Civil Service Agency, the State Civil Service Commission, and the General Election Supervisory Agency of the Republic of Indonesia. This research applied a statute approach and combined it with a historical approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the research showed that from 1966 until now, the regulation of the neutrality of the State Civil Service in general elections has undergone changes in the subject and object of its regulation. However, this arrangement has not been able to guarantee the neutrality of the State Civil Service in general elections. This is inseparable from the political system, which does not yet support the realization of neutrality of the State Civil Service in General Elections.

Abstract

Private lecturers in Indonesia play a crucial role in higher education; however, they face significant welfare issues, particularly concerning salaries that often fall below the Regional Minimum Wage (UMK). This study aims to identify the challenges faced by private lecturers in West Java related to inadequate salaries and offer recommendations for improvement. Using a qualitative research approach, the study interviews private lecturers and analyzes employment agreements from several private universities. It also examines relevant laws and regulations, including Law Number 14 of 2005 on Teachers and Lecturers, Government Regulation Number 37 of 2009 on Lecturers, Law Number 30 of 2014 on Government Administration, and Law Number 13 of 2003 on Manpower. The findings reveal that, despite formal employment agreements, many lecturers earn less than the UMK, negatively impacting their welfare. Contributing factors include a lengthy certification process, inadequate social security, and the lack of academic ranks for many permanent lecturers. Many private lecturers are not registered with the social security program (BPJS). This study concludes that salaries below the UMK create injustice and undermine the teaching profession. Strengthening employment contracts, clarifying rights and obligations, and raising awareness about lecturers' rights are essential for improving their welfare.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) presents significant opportunities and challenges, particularly balancing innovation with protecting privacy and human rights. The increasing integration of AI into daily life has amplified risks to digital privacy, access to information, and online communication, raising concerns about human rights violations. Governments must address these risks by implementing practical measures to ensure safe AI usage and redressing harm caused by unethical practices. This article explores the impact of AI on privacy and human rights, utilizing the 2024 Council of Europe Framework Convention on AI, Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law as a basis for ethical considerations. Employing an analytical methodology, the study examines international charters and national legislation to highlight disparities in addressing AI-related privacy concerns and to identify gaps between global human rights standards and digital technologies. Comparative analysis is conducted to evaluate international and national approaches to AI governance. The findings emphasize the urgent need for unified global standards to protect digital human rights, harmonize AI ethics, and reduce risks associated with AI applications. Recommendations include adopting comprehensive legal frameworks and promoting international cooperation to ensure ethical AI deployment aligned with human rights principles.

Abstract

Indonesia’s Constitutional Court introduced the concept of meaningful participation in the lawmaking process, emphasizing the right to be heard, considered, and explained. This concept was institutionalized through amendments to the Law on Lawmaking Procedures (Law Number 13 of 2022). However, meaningful participation remains poorly implemented, as demonstrated by the lack of public involvement in the issuance of the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law legalizing the Omnibus Law on Job Creation and the Constitutional Court's ruling on Law Number 6 of 2023 (Job Creation Law 2.0), which deemed public participation irrelevant for emergency laws. These developments highlight inconsistencies in applying the principle of meaningful participation in Indonesia’s legislative practices. This research evaluates the institutionalization of meaningful participation in Law Number 13 of 2022 and its practical application in Indonesia’s lawmaking process. This research uses doctrinal legal research methods by examining library materials and secondary data to analyze the legal framework and its implementation. The findings reveal a significant gap between the theoretical framework of meaningful participation and its application in practice, particularly in emergency lawmaking. In conclusion, while the institutionalization of meaningful participation reflects a positive step, inconsistent application undermines its potential to enhance democratic governance in Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper comprehensively analyzes the challenges and prospects for achieving a sustainable green economy in Indonesia's energy sector, where fossil fuels dominate approximately 90.4 percent of the domestic energy supply, making the sector a major contributor to emissions. Despite ambitious targets, renewable energy development has progressed slowly, with only 0.97 GW capacity achieved out of a 3.4 GW target by the fourth quarter of 2023. Employing a normative research approach, this study draws from primary and secondary data sources to explore the obstacles hindering green economic transformation, including limited financing for technological innovation, insufficient long-term environmental policies, human resource constraints, institutional structures, regulatory coherence, and the need to balance economic tradeoffs. Key findings highlight that Indonesia must bolster its legal framework, strengthen infrastructure, foster policy alignment, secure financing, enhance technological capabilities, and expand renewable energy capacity. This paper seeks to contribute insights for formulating an integrated, resilient strategy to accelerate Indonesia's transition to a green economy within the energy sector.
