Abstract

The secret sale of land raises changes in certificate ownership dilemma. The absence of seller during creation of the Deed of Sale and Purchase (AJB) poses a severe obstacle, coupled with the buyer's lack of knowledge. Another constraint is buyer's inability to create a deed due to seller's unknown address. This research highlights buyer's efforts to overcome obstacles in transferring land certificates from off-the-record land transactions. This is a normative legal approach through literature analysis. The results show that buyers can overcome obstacles by filing a lawsuit for unlawful actions in the district court where the land is located. This lawsuit is related to unlawful actions by the defendant, such as rejection or hindrance to changing the land certificate's name. Through the trial, the court can issue an order instructing the National Land Agency (Badan Pertanahan Nasional or BPN) to transfer the land certificate in the buyer's name. Even without the Deed of Sale and Purchase (AJB), the court order serves as a legal basis for BPN to execute this process. Upon completion, the buyer obtains legal certainty regarding land ownership, and despite lacking AJB, the renamed land certificate becomes valid proof of the buyer's land ownership.

The mediator has to maximize his role in reconciling the litigants in the Court so that the parties do not consider mediation as a mere formality. Socialization is needed in the community regarding the importance of resolving disputes peacefully as determined under supreme court regulation.

Abstract

Character witnesses evidentiary relevance remains underexplored in Indonesian academic discourse. This article addresses this gap by examining the circumstances in which character witness testimony holds significance. Using qualitative study referencing eleven court decisions in criminal cases, the research identifies three key contexts where character witness testimony proves relevant. First, it serves to elucidate elements crucial to the assessment of a crime. Second, it aids in determining whether a defendant should be exempted from criminal liability. Third, it may influence sentencing considerations by either mitigating or aggravating the severity of penalties imposed. Moreover, the article examines the limitations inherent in character witness testimony. It highlights that such testimony may lack relevance to provide contextual assistance to the judges Additionally, while character witness testimony can potentially enhance understanding of a defendant's disposition, it cannot serve as sole grounds for conviction. Propensity evidence derived from character witness statements may be considered in sentencing phases to influence severity but cannot independently establish guilt. This article contributes to a nuanced understanding of the role of character witnesses within the Indonesian legal framework, offering insights into their potential impact on judicial decision-making and the boundaries of their evidentiary value in criminal proceedings.

Abstract

The right to be free and protected from discriminatory treatment is universal. Such right is incorporated into the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This paper examines the perception of international students (30 respondents) in Indonesia regarding the discriminatory treatment they have experienced and the effort of the Indonesian Government to address such issue in educational institutions. The study focuses on the operation of positive law, particularly Article 28I Paragraph (2) and Paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution. The method used was empirical legal research, combined with statutory and sociological approaches, utilizing primary data (from questionnaires) and secondary data. The analysis of questionnaire output reveals a concerning reality of discriminatory treatment in various forms experienced by the respondents. A significant percentage of them experience discriminatory treatment and perceive a lack of effective measures to address and prevent such discrimination in educational institutions. Recommendations are made to bridge the gap between constitutional guarantees and the actual experiences of international students: Indonesian government should strengthen the implementation of anti-discrimination laws, foster inclusive environments in educational institutions, and enhance government efforts through better monitoring, complaint systems, and legal remedies for victims, in alignment with constitutional guarantee.

Abstract

This study examines the legal framework regulating retail markets in Indonesia, focusing on balancing modern retail growth with the protection of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The introduction highlights the rapid expansion of modern retail chains and their impact on traditional markets, emphasizing West Sumatra’s unique approach of limiting the entry of major retail chains to support local businesses. However, this policy lacks clear written regulations, creating legal and operational uncertainties. Using a doctrinal legal research methodology, the study analyzes statutory laws, legal doctrines, and secondary sources. Key legal instruments include the Law on Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition, the Job Creation Law, and Regional Regulations on Fostering and Empowering People's Markets. The qualitative analysis focuses on identifying inconsistencies, gaps, and the synchronization of these regulations. The findings reveal the absence of explicit legal provisions supporting local governments’ restrictions on modern retail, despite their efforts to protect traditional markets. The study underscores the need for comprehensive and clear legal frameworks to ensure fair competition, safeguard MSMEs, and align with national socio-economic goals. Recommendations include regulatory reforms to address ambiguities and support sustainable retail market policies

Abstract

Campaigning plays a critical role in elections, enabling candidates to present their vision, mission, and programs to the public. However, Law Number 8 of 2015, lacks explicit regulations on black campaigning, especially when it occurs via electronic media. This research highlight the Regional Head Election Law only indirectly addresses defamation in Article 69 (b) and (c), which prohibits insults targeting individuals, religions, ethnicities, races, groups, and candidates. Other relevant regulations, such as the Criminal Code and the ITE Law, contain provisions on defamation, hate speech, and incitement, but they are not spesifically regulate in the context of election. This paper examines the urgency of reformulating explicit prohibitions and criminalization of black campaigning within the Regional Head Election Law. Using a normative juridical approach to examines the existing regulations, this research suggests that an amendment to the Regional Head Election Law is necessary to explicitly define and prohibit black campaigning, establishing it as a formal offense and identifying relevant legal subjects. By setting clear prohibitions, this reform would strengthen fairness and integrity in elections, prevent the spread of false information and incitement, and align with the principle of legality, ultimately enhancing the democratic process.

Accordingly, this study examines on analyzing the framework for restoring the customary forest rights of these through agrarian reform, emphasizing social forestry. Employing a socio-legal research method, the study combines textual analysis of legal frameworks and case studies of Kampar's indigenous communities. The research examines two key issues: (1) the presence of indigenous communities and the concept of customary forest utilization in Kampar Regency, and (2) the importance of restoring indigenous communities’ rights to forests through social forestry initiatives. The findings reveal that indigenous communities in Kampar Regency maintain a strong connection to their ancestral heritage, viewing customary forest as inalienable heritage. The restoration of indigenous communities’ rights to these forest territories is considered essential. Social forestry is identified as a critical component of agrarian reform in Indonesia, with existing regulatory frameworks explicitly acknowledging indigenous communities as beneficiaries. Several areas of customary forest in Kampar Regency have also been identified as having potential for designation through social forestry programs.
