Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The Jiwasraya insurance scandal exposed major weaknesses in Indonesia’s legal oversight of state-owned enterprises, particularly in corporate governance, fiduciary responsibility, and regulatory enforcement. Despite multiple government interventions, the lack of accountability and transparency eroded public trust and questioned the integrity of legal policy. Purpose/Objective of Study: This article examines the government’s legal and policy measures in addressing the Jiwasraya crisis, focusing on how these efforts align with the principles of legal certainty, justice, and Good Corporate Governance (GCG). Design/Methodology/Approach: Employing a normative juridical method with statute and comparative approaches, the study analyzes statutory frameworks, court decisions, and administrative responses, supported by comparative insights from China, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Findings: The findings reveal that government measures, such as corporate restructuring, the establishment of IFG Life, and criminal prosecution, remain largely reactive and lack structural reform. The study argues for the codification of fiduciary duties, strengthening corporate criminal liability, and the selective imposition of severe penalties in corruption cases causing extensive state losses. Furthermore, the absence of transitional legal norms and enforceable state guarantees leaves non-migrated policyholders without legal protection. These findings highlight the urgency of reforming Indonesia’s corporate and financial governance system to restore legal certainty and uphold justice. Paper Type: Research Article

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The COVID-19 pandemic has driven many companies in Indonesia to seek Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) and bankruptcy, highlighting the need for more adaptive legal frameworks. Current PKPU mechanisms are viewed as outdated, failing to address conflicts of interest and broader economic impacts. This research proposes a semi-public restructuring model to enhance fairness and inclusivity. Purpose/Study Objectives: This study analyzes the urgency of deconstructing the PKPU framework by introducing semi-public restructuring, which integrates judicial oversight and equitable consideration for all parties involved. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research includes normative legal research. Data analysis uses descriptive methods, deconstruction hermeneutic approaches, cases, legislation, and deduction-syllogism analysis. The legal materials used in this study consist of primary legal sources such as laws and court rulings, as well as secondary materials such as academic literature and legal commentary. Findings: The findings reveal that implementing a semi-public restructuring model in PKPU cases is essential for creating a more balanced and fair resolution process. Unlike current mechanisms that overly favor creditors, this model offers a comprehensive solution by involving the courts in approving restructuring plans, ensuring that all creditors are treated equally. Additionally, the semi-public restructuring model adapts successful principles from other countries, like the UK, to Indonesia’s legal framework. It is important to understand that semi-public restructuring differs from PKPU, which is commonly affirmed in debt restructuring. Semi-public restructuring goes beyond mere debt adjustment, encompassing broader corporate reorganization. This model can provide legal certainty, maintain business continuity, and promote long-term financial stability by considering broader socio-economic impacts. This semi-public restructuring approach aligns with Indonesia’s Pancasila values and has the potential to make the bankruptcy legal system more adaptive and responsive to the nation’s economic challenges.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: This paper reports findings from research on orphan works in Indonesia and Malaysia. "Orphan works" are copyright-protected works whose copyright holders cannot be contacted or identified by prospective users. Permission to use is essential under the copyright law, but it cannot be obtained in the orphan works context. Presently, there have been no recorded cases of orphan works in either jurisdiction. This situation is further exacerbated by the lack of policies and laws in Indonesia and Malaysia regarding orphan works. Purpose/Study Objectives: On the above basis, this study sought to address the following research questions: (i) What is the current legal treatment to the issue of orphan works in Indonesia and Malaysia? and (ii) How can access to and exploitation of orphan works be legally authorised in Indonesia and Malaysia? Design/Methodology/Approach: The research design was exploratory as this study aimed to examine the current legal treatment of orphan works in light of both jurisdictions' copyright statutes. The doctrinal analysis, as part of normative legal research, was used to answer the first research question by examining Indonesia’s Law Number 28 of 2014 and Malaysia’s Copyright Act 1987. The literature-based research was employed to answer the second research question by extracting information from secondary sources such as reports, textbooks, and journal articles. Findings: This study discovered that Indonesia and Malaysia's existing laws are insufficient to support potential users in exploiting the orphan works. Specifically in Malaysia, the orphan works scenario might be addressed by Section 31 of the Copyright Act 1987, but further improvements could be made to this provision to expand its scope and application. Following that, this study made numerous strategic proposals, including defining a policy for the use of orphan works, establishing a statutory definition of orphan works, and developing an orphan works licensing scheme.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: This article examines the U.S. strategy for countering corruption and the increasing challenges of money laundering involving cryptocurrencies in a globalized financial ecosystem. As digital assets gain legitimacy, they have simultaneously become tools for illicit finance, prompting the need for coordinated global regulatory efforts. The United States, home to the world’s largest crypto exchanges and a leading jurisdiction for asset seizures, has developed a comprehensive Five-Pillar Strategy emphasizing global coordination and institutional strengthening. Purpose/Objective Study: This study analyzes how U.S. policy frameworks, including those under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and Dodd-Frank Act, respond to transnational threats of corruption, crypto-related crime, and illicit finance. It assesses how these measures promote transparency and shape international cooperation mechanisms. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using a mixed-method legal approach grounded in methodological pluralism, this research integrates normative legal analysis, legal sociology, and neoliberal institutionalism to evaluate the adaptive capacity of global coordination in addressing crypto-related financial crimes. Findings: The study finds that effective responses to crypto-based corruption require not only domestic policy coherence but also institutionalized multilateral coordination anchored in international regimes such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), and the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework. The U.S. Five-Pillar Strategy strengthens transparency through beneficial ownership reporting, enhances the detection of illicit transactions via FinCEN and CFTC oversight, and reinforces cross-border collaboration through FATF and UNCAC partnerships. These frameworks collectively represent a pragmatic application of neoliberal institutionalism (where institutions mitigate the risks of an anarchic financial order) and sociological jurisprudence, which treats law as a dynamic tool of social engineering. However, gaps persist in enforcement harmonization and data-sharing, underscoring the continued need for adaptive and inclusive global coordination mechanisms. Paper Type: Research Article

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The case of artisanal mining in Jayapura City has had positive socioeconomic impacts through job creation. However, it has also raised concerns about ecological impacts, including landscape degradation and contamination of the watershed that drains into Lake Sentani. Purpose/Study Objectives: This study aims to analyze the dynamics of community mining governance in Jayapura City since 1998, with a focus on the role of local government in law enforcement and the ecological impacts of small-scale gold mining activities. Design/Methodology/Approach: A socio-legal research approach was adopted, grounded in an empirical-juridical paradigm to capture both the statutory framework and its practical implementation. Data for the study were compiled through an analysis of regulatory documents, academic literature, and environmental impact reports, augmented by systematic field observations at key mining sites around Jayapura (including buffer zones near the Cyclops Nature Reserve and the Lake Sentani watershed). Observations were conducted over five months, utilizing document research protocols and peer review verification to ensure data reliability and analytical rigor. Findings: The findings reveal regulatory gaps and weak law enforcement, resulting in rampant illegal mining and environmental degradation, including land degradation, alterations to the hydrological system, and pollution of the watershed, ultimately affecting Lake Sentani. Although formalization of community mining businesses was attempted after 2007, challenges such as weak coordination between agencies, limited oversight, and conflicts of interest complicate the implementation of sustainable regulations. This study recommends strengthening the assessment of community mining areas, developing transparent local regulations, improving oversight and law enforcement mechanisms, and involving communities in environmental monitoring and advocacy to achieve a balance between regional economic and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: Under the Indonesian Marriage Law of 1974, the requirement of specific acceptable reasons for divorce underscores the adoption of a fault-based divorce system. However, of the Law also includes “continuous disputes and endless quarrels between the spouses with no hope of reconciliation” as grounds for divorce provided by the Elucidation of Article 39 paragraph (2) letter f, which mirrors the Western no-fault-based divorce concept of irreconcilable differences. This apparent contradiction is intriguing for a comprehensive analysis of which divorce system Indonesia aligns with. Purpose/Study Objectives: This article evaluates the contradiction between Indonesia’s fault-based divorce system and the existence of grounds for divorce, which include “persistent disputes and endless quarrels between the spouses with no hope of reconciliation.” This evaluation aims to confirm whether Indonesia has consistently adhered to the fault-based divorce law system. Design/Methodology/Approach: This article utilizes normative juridical research by examining secondary data as the primary source. The research began with identifying legal principles governing divorce, followed by analyzing the historical development of regulations and legal considerations in judicial decisions. The data were qualitatively analyzed using conceptual, statutory, case-based approaches to provide a critical perspective. Findings: This article reveals that the grounds of “persistent disputes with no hope of reconciliation” first appeared in 1933 under the Indonesian Christian Marriage Ordinance of 1933 under the terminology of onheelbare tweespalt. It was then adopted by the Marriage Law of 1974. Initially, all divorce reasons had to be grounded in the fulfilment of "persistent disputes with no hope of reconciliation," requiring the determination of the party most responsible for the breakdown of the marriage. However, this article concludes that there has been a gradual shift from necessitating identifying fault in "persistent disputes with no hope of reconciliation" to simply recognizing the marriage's breakdown without attributing blame. This ground is now independently sufficient to establish an irreparable breakdown of the marriage. Paper Type: Research Article.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The practice of criminal law in a country should evolve technologically, as in Indonesia, where electronic surveillance of prisoners has been adopted. Indonesia has correctional facilities that are experiencing tremendous overcrowding, and this trend not only hinders the effective rehabilitation of inmates but also burdens the state coffers. Countries with well-organised biobanks have used this surveillance technology to prevent this malfunction. Purpose/Study Objectives: This research aims to analyze whether there is a possibility of introducing electronic monitoring of prisoners in Indonesia as a possible amendment to the Criminal Sanctions Implementation Act by conducting an international review of the experience of similar practices in several countries with civil law (Latvia, Iceland, France, Norway, Croatia, Kosovo), common law (England and Wales), and mixed law (Thailand) systems. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research utilises qualitative approaches, especially normative legal analysis and comparison. The data was collected by way of thorough analysis of legal documents from different jurisdictions that have varying legal traditions, such as civil law countries like Latvia, Iceland, France, Norway, Croatia, and Kosovo, common law countries of England and Wales, and Thailand, which has a mixed legal system. The comparison of these legal systems assists in constructing possible integration of electronic surveillance systems in the criminal law system in Indonesia. Findings: Research shows that electronic monitoring of prisoners in Indonesia has potential despite the lack of legislation for such tracking due to the relevance of implementation, especially for low-risk prisoners and first-time offenders. Concerns are identified, such as inadequate infrastructure, lack of comprehensive legislation and resistance from various groups. However, the promising benefits outweigh those concerns, as well as features such as a 40% reduction in prison overcrowding and improvements in recidivism rates of inmate rehabilitation.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The main issue in handling cases in the economic field is the recovery of the state's financial losses or the country's economy. This is due to the orientation of law enforcement, which always focuses on imposing imprisonment as a deterrent. As a result, fines that are imposed are often substituted with imprisonment. The criminal justice process, which ultimately leads to imprisonment, is considered ineffective and incurs high costs. Through the authority of schikking, it is considered as one of the alternative solutions. However, in practice, it still generates various reactions, including assumptions that it does not effectively deter perpetrators from committing crimes. Purpose/Study Objectives: This research aims to examine and explain the perspective of schikking in handling economic criminal acts. Through the imposition of schikking, can financial losses or the state's economy be effectively and efficiently restored. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method used is normative juridical research, a type of legal research that examines the systematics of law, identifying key concepts in law, and analyzing prevailing norms and principles in legal science. Findings: The research findings indicate that the concept of schikking views economic crimes as the cause of economic disruption in the country, so the prosecution must prioritize the recovery of state losses. As one of the sentencing systems and part of the attorney general's opportunity, schikking can be applied to crimes that have a broad impact on the country's economy. The implementation of schikking is considered effective and efficient in reducing state expenditures, taking into account the costs and benefits of handling economic cases. Additionally, schikking provides a mutually beneficial solution for the parties by giving the perpetrator an opportunity to constructively demonstrate their capacity and qualities. Schikking does not completely eliminate the element of deterrence, but rather simplifies the criminal justice system by offering a more efficient and adaptable solution, without sacrificing the core goals of law enforcement, restoring economic losses, and ensuring substantive justice.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: Online gambling produces cascading social harms (debt, mental distress, and family conflict) that are surfacing in Indonesian divorce cases. Yet core enforcement gaps persist because gambling platforms, servers, and payment rails are frequently offshore and evidence is digital and volatile. Existing tools in the ITE Law and the Criminal Code lag behind these modalities. Purpose/Study Objectives: To analyze how cross-border features of online gambling undermine Indonesian criminal and family-law responses, and to propose an integrated reform agenda that links criminal accountability with family protection. Design/Methodology/Approach: Normative legal research combining statutory and conceptual analysis with comparative insights (licensed regimes such as Australia/UK; prohibition/ambiguous regimes) and illustrative Indonesian Religious Court decisions referencing gambling-driven marital breakdown. Findings: Indonesia’s response is hampered by three enforcement deficits: (1) Platform/finance dependence: foreign digital platforms and domestic payment intermediaries (banks, e-wallets, telecoms) enable chip-based and crypto-denominated flows that current doctrine barely reaches; (2) Digital-evidence fragility: logs, metadata, and accounts are transient or hosted abroad, while preservation and admissibility standards and forensics capacity remain under-specified; and (3) Limited cross-border reach: narrow MLAT/extradition coverage and dual-criminality barriers where gambling is legal overseas. These deficits help explain a growing footprint of gambling in Indonesian divorce pleadings and judicial reasoning, even when causation is indirect (asset dissipation, coercive financial control, persistent conflict). Comparative practice shows courts can recognize gambling-related “wastage” in property division and maintenance, while regulators can harden payment and advertising controls. Overall, the paper finds that doctrinal silos between criminal/ITE rules and the Marriage Law weaken both enforcement and family protection. Paper Type: Research Article

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: Although villages existed before the formation of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, constitutional provisions on village autonomy remain marginal and inconsistent after four amendments to the 1945 Constitution. This undercuts recognition of indigenous communities and meaningful participation, despite converging international doctrines that safeguard collective identity, self-governance, and local decision-making. Purpose/Study Objectives: This study argues that any future constitutional amendment must explicitly recognize and accommodate the autonomy of village communities. It aims to articulate a paradigm of village autonomy embedded in a social-constitution framework that realizes just and equitable prosperity, aligns with international legal standards on indigenous peoples’ rights and participatory governance, and provides clear guidance for normative and operational reform. Design/Methodology/Approach: Using a normative juridical method with descriptive-analytic specification, the research combines statutory and legal-historical approaches with targeted comparative analysis of jurisdictions that constitutionally entrench local or indigenous self-governance. International legal principles are employed as evaluative benchmarks to assess Indonesian constitutional design choices and to distil transferable safeguards (recognition, participation, jurisdiction, and fiscal arrangements). Findings: Future villages should be constitutionally recognized as autonomous and self-sufficient communities that preserve local wisdom, ensure economic stability, and foster locally rooted growth. A reform blueprint emerges: (i) explicit constitutional status for village communities; (ii) delineated competences and guaranteed participation procedures; (iii) stable fiscal architecture; and (iv) safeguards against re-centralization. These elements uphold citizen values and constitutional ethics while harmonizing Indonesian practice with international doctrines on indigenous rights and democratic participation, thus offering actionable pathways for amendment text and implementing legislation.
