Abstract

Within the democratic Pancasila system regulated by the Indonesian government, every citizen's right is guaranteed by the government and religious organization to express their beliefs. Aceh, which has enacted regional regulations based on Islamic law and received government support for their implementation, has the freedom to establish its own policies. This study analyzes Aceh's implementation of the Criminal Code (Qanun Jinayah) as well as in its Sharia Court. The case study methodology utilized in this study is intended to provide qualitative data through description-analysis and descriptive qualitative research. According to this study, the execution of Qanun Jinayah in Aceh frequently generates controversy because certain parties believe that the implementation of the law violates human rights, which are normally maintained in democratic countries such as Indonesia. The law applies to both the Muslim and the non-Muslim Achenese. Despite this, numerous parties continue to support the execution of Qanun Jinayah, as they have complied with the exact law recognized by the Indonesian government.

Abstract

Law Number 7 of 2021 on Tax Regulation Harmonization has ushered in notable alterations to the Value Added Tax (VAT) stipulations within Indonesia. Notably, this law now classifies educational services as taxable entities. This study examines the background of the VAT policy on education services and evaluates it. Adopting a post-positivist approach, the research utilizes literature studies and in-depth interviews for data collection. The research shows that such a shift in policy raises concerns about legal clarity and the methods for imposing VAT. Amid public disapproval, the authorities opted to subject educational services to VAT but with certain exemptions. Despite these tax breaks, education service providers still must issue tax invoices, potentially elevating their compliance costs. However, the tax authorities have yet to provide detailed guidance on how this law affects educational service providers in terms of subjects, objects, and VAT bases. Based on the conducted research, the advised steps forward include specifying which educational services are impacted, ensuring clear communication about the legal aspects of educational services, and facilitating administrative procedures for taxpayers to meet their responsibility.

Abstract

Construction agreements in Indonesia are an important legal instrument that often faces challenges due to the complexity of regulations and the potential imbalance of power between parties. This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing construction agreements in Indonesia and identify the importance of dispute resolution in the context of construction projects. This research uses a literature study to analyze the legal framework governing construction agreements, including the Civil Code, Law Number 2 of 2017 on Construction Services and Government Regulation Number 17 of 2013. This analysis reveals the importance of dispute resolution, especially through arbitration, as an effective mechanism to address conflicts in construction projects. The role of legal consultants with expertise in construction law is also crucial in guiding stakeholders in drafting agreements that protect the interests of each party and minimize legal risks. This study emphasizes the need for careful attention to legal protection in construction agreements to ensure fairness and the success of the project.

Abstract

Women as representatives in the strategic political making of decisions. Among the efforts made by the government to increase women's representation was setting a minimum threshold for female candidacy in the legislative and legislative elections. The policy referred to is set forth in Article 245 of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections. This research uses normative legal research methods with legislative and conceptual approaches. The provision regarding the minimum limit of 30% of women's candidacy is the implementation of constitutional rights, which is regulated in Article 28H Paragraph (2) of the 1945 Indonesian Constitution. The representation of women in the legislature was entrusted as a form of balancing and alignment of patriarchal and dominative elements in strategic policymaking. There are five ratios of an increase in female representation policy, including the existence of women in political decision-making is a counterweight to the patriarchal elements; women's brain variables are wider than men's so as to impact the different responses to an accepted issue; policy correlation with zipper system theory; policy correlation with critical mass theory; and the form of exercise of rights and duties owned by women as right holders and men as duty holders. The increase of female participation in representation can be achieved through political recruitment and the establishment of a political party-wing organization.

Abstract

Indonesia’s palm oil plantations have an irreplaceable role in Indonesia’s economy, contributing to job creation, rural poverty reduction, export revenue, and gross domestic product. Although such exploitation of its natural resources is within Indonesia’s permanent sovereignty, developed countries have expressed environmental concerns over Indonesia’s surge in palm oil expansion, which has brought about deforestation, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. This research will analyze whether Indonesia can navigate economic growth and sustainability in its palm oil sector, amidst such conflicting interests. Utilizing a normative legal research methodology with a statute approach, relevant laws, regulations, and practices will be used to identify whether Indonesia can achieve a sustainable palm oil industry that aligns with national development goals while also adhering to global environmental standards, ensuring both economic growth and sustainability.

Abstract

Corporate accountability in Indonesia's environmental law still faces fundamental challenges, especially in the aspect of applying criminal sanctions against legal entities that commit environmental pollution or destruction. In practice, law enforcement relies more on administrative approaches or civil lawsuits, which often do not provide a deterrent effect and tend to be inadequate in responding to the complexity of environmental damage caused by corporations. This research aims to fill this gap by critically examining how the principle of strict liability can be integrated with the criminal sanction mechanism in national environmental law. With a normative juridical approach and supported by relevant case studies, this study shows that the synergy between the two approaches is able to form a more accountable, effective, and responsive accountability framework to the principles of sustainable development. The results of the analysis recommend the need for a holistic environmental law enforcement model, which not only emphasizes the repressive aspect, but also encourages structural improvements in corporate supervision and active public involvement in overseeing environmental law enforcement in Indonesia.

Abstract

Peatland ecosystems in Southeast Asia are vital carbon sinks and biodiversity reserves, yet they face persistent threats from unsustainable land-use practices, particularly fire-based land clearing. Indonesia, which holds a significant share of the region’s tropical peatlands, remains a key actor in addressing the environmental and transboundary haze crises stemming from peatland degradation. As a member of ASEAN, Indonesia is bound by regional commitments, including the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution and the ASEAN Second Haze-Free Roadmap (2023–2030), which promotes sustainable peatland management through strategies such as the ASEAN Peatland Management Strategy (APMS). This paper aims to critically assess Indonesia’s peatland management strategies in light of these regional obligations. It evaluates the implementation and enforcement of the Zero Burn Policy, the current state of peatland rehabilitation and preservation efforts, the institutional and legal roles of the Indonesian government, and comparative insights drawn from other ASEAN member states. This research uses a combination normative and empirical juridical research methodology, integrating doctrinal legal analysis with contextual evaluation of implementation practices. Despite regulatory advancements and institutional initiatives, Indonesia continues to face significant challenges, including weak enforcement, persistent land burning, and fragmented governance. The paper concludes that achieving sustainable peatland management and fulfilling ASEAN commitments requires stronger inter-agency coordination, enhanced legal clarity, and deeper regional collaboration rooted in shared environmental governance principles.
