Abstract

Hospitals in Indonesia, as mandated by the 1945 Constitution and health law policies, are required to provide equitable healthcare services to all citizens, including economically disadvantaged groups. However, frequent cases of hospital rejections against poor patients due to inability to pay reveal a gap between constitutional guarantees and practice. Such acts constitute misbruik van omstandigheden (abuse of circumstances), where hospitals exploit patients' positions vulnerable in therapeutic agreements and informed consent. The objectives of this research are threefold: first, to analyze the practice of misbruik van omstandigheden in medical contracts between hospitals and poor patients; second, to assess the form of legal responsibility of hospitals in cases of denial or neglect, and third, to formulate recommendations to strengthen the protection of poor patients' rights through regulatory reforms and effective sanctions. This study employs a doctrinal research method with a normative legal approach, supported by empirical case studies. Primary sources include the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 36/2009, Law Number 17/2023, and the Civil Code, complemented by Islamic legal principles (maqashid al-Shariah). The findings show that hospital rejections violate civil law, constitutional mandates, and ethical obligations.

Abstract

Centralized national development has created disparities between rural and urban areas in economic, social, legal, and institutional aspects. Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) serve as an important instrument for building rural economic independence and bridging these disparities. This study aims to analyze the role of company legal instruments in strengthening the institutionalization of BUMDes as public legal entities and local economic actors. The method used is a normative legal method with a legislative and conceptual approach. This study examines the integration of national legal norms, such as Law Number 3 of 2024 concerning Villages and Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies, with local regulations such as Village Regulations. Corporate law principles strengthen BUMDes governance, accountability, and sustainability through contextual adoption. Although BUMDes are not limited liability companies, good companies governance principles are essential to ensure transparency, accountability, and legal certainty. BUMDes are also recognized as legal entities through Government Regulation Number 11 of 2021, which grants them equal standing with other business entities in contractual relationships. Company law provides a strategic foundation for BUMDes, ensuring legality and sustainability through integration of national norms and local policies to strengthen village economic self-reliance and development.

Abstract

In democratic governance, the Indonesian Constitutional Court and the United States Supreme Court serve as constitutional guardians, exercising judicial review within their respective legal traditions to uphold checks and balances and ensure the supremacy of the constitution. This study aims to compare the roles of the Indonesian Constitutional Court and the United States Supreme Court in implementing the principle of checks and balances through the judicial review mechanism. Using a normative juridical approach and comparative law methods, this study examines the institutional structure, scope of authority, and constitutional impact of the decisions of both institutions. The primary data sources include the constitutions of each country, specifically Article 24C of the 1945 Constitution and Article III of the United States Constitution, as well as Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court (in conjunction with Law Number 8 of 2011). The study shows that the United States Supreme Court has broader interpretive authority due to its common law tradition and the power of precedent, while the Indonesian Constitutional Court has limited authority within the context of a more normative civil law system. Differences in legal systems and institutional design affect the effectiveness of their oversight function.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of the domicile requirement on the transfer of rights for rice fields protected by public regulations in Indonesia, with a focus on the challenges it creates for land market efficiency and agricultural sustainability. Using a qualitative approach with a literature review, the research explores existing legal frameworks, regulatory constraints, and their effects on land transactions. The findings reveal that the domicile requirement restricts access to the land market, excluding financially capable buyers who could manage agricultural land sustainably. The study suggests that expanding the eligibility criteria to include buyers within the same district, rather than limiting them to the same subdistrict, would enhance market efficiency and ensure more effective land management. The proposed policy change would allow for a broader pool of buyers while maintaining local oversight, thus contributing to the protection and sustainable management of rice fields. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers seeking to improve land use regulations and agricultural land management in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the legal position of underhand agreements in land investment in Indonesia, particularly within buyback schemes that are increasingly used in practice. Although not executed before a notary, such agreements remain valid if they fulfill the essential elements of a contract under the Indonesian Civil Code. Using a normative legal approach supported by case studies, this research analyzes the validity, legal risks, and investor protection issues surrounding these informal transactions. The findings indicate that underhand agreements, while offering flexibility and lower costs, create vulnerabilities due to weak evidentiary value in disputes. Ambiguous buyback clauses and the absence of authentic documentation often hinder investors from reclaiming funds, generating legal uncertainty and escalating civil conflicts. Opportunistic behavior by landowners further exacerbates the imbalance of bargaining power. The legal urgency addressed in this study lies in the need for regulatory reform to strengthen legal certainty and investor protection in land investment. Recommendations include mandatory registration of buyback agreements, involvement of notarial services, and improved legal literacy for stakeholders. This study contributes to ongoing discussions on legal reform by emphasizing the balance between contractual freedom and equitable protection in Indonesia’s land investment sector.

Abstract

The phenomenon of air pollution caused by the brick-making industry has become a pressing environmental issue demanding resolution. Various studies have shown that emissions from the brick-kiln process contribute significantly to the decline in ambient air quality in industrial areas and their surroundings. This study aims to evaluate the environmental impacts of brick-kiln operations and to assess the effectiveness of government policy implementation in controlling air pollution from the industrial sector. This study adopts a normative and empirical research paradigm as its primary methodological framework. A qualitative approach is used because of its ability to facilitate in-depth exploration of phenomena in the natural environment, with the researcher acting as the primary instrument for data collection and analysis. The result of this study are brick-kiln operations in Mekarmulya Village cause significant air, noise, and land degradation impacts, with the community gradually normalizing pollution due to weak regulatory oversight and limited institutional capacity in enforcing environmental policies for micro-enterprises. The study concludes that ineffective environmental governance and limited institutional capacity have allowed the micro-scale brick-kiln industry in Mekarmulya Village to cause significant pollution and land degradation, highlighting the need for the implementation of adaptive, socially aware, and inclusive environmental policies for the informal sector.

Abstract

The 1949 Geneva Conventions set out clear obligations for participating states to uphold the humanitarian norms contained therein. In Indonesia, the two regions of Aceh and Papua have experienced violent conflict with significant escalation, raising the question of whether these situations can be legally classified as non-international armed conflicts under international humanitarian law. The purpose of this study is to examine this issue by focusing on how treason cases have been tried in Indonesian courts, as judicial reasoning provides an important perspective for assessing the threshold of violence. This study uses normative legal methods, reviewing relevant statutory provisions, legal principles, and court decisions. The research findings indicate that, from a humanitarian law perspective, the acts of violence in Aceh and Papua have not reached the legal threshold required to be categorized as non-international armed conflicts. Instead, the handling of treason crimes still relies on national legal instruments, particularly Article 7 paragraph (2) of the Indonesian National Armed Forces Law, which frames such acts as military operations other than war. In conclusion, although these conflicts exhibit significant social and political tensions, they remain outside the scope of humanitarian law, highlighting the reliance on criminal law and military law in addressing treason.

Abstract

This research examines the legal framework of the Presidential Threshold (PT) as stipulated in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, analyzing its effects on political stability, democratic representation, and the inclusiveness of the political process. Using a qualitative approach through literature study, the research reveals that while the PT mechanism, which requires a party or coalition to hold at least 20% of parliamentary seats or 25% of the national vote, contributes to reducing electoral fragmentation and promoting political stability, it also limits the diversity of candidates and political ideologies, potentially undermining democratic principles. The study highlights how this statutory provision restricts the participation of smaller political parties and independent candidates, consolidating power within larger political coalitions. It also raises constitutional concerns regarding the right to political participation under the 1945 Constitution and the fairness of the electoral system. The findings suggest that reforms to the legal basis of the PT, such as lowering the threshold or exploring alternative electoral systems, could enhance the inclusivity and representativeness of Indonesia’s presidential election process. Future research should focus on assessing the long-term effects of the PT's legal design on voter engagement and political trust in Indonesia.

Abstract

Compensation for victims of wrongful arrest in Indonesia is regulated under Article 9 of Government Regulation Number 92 of 2015, which determines minimum and maximum compensation amounts based on the severity of harm suffered by victims. This study aims to analyze the implementation of compensation provisions for wrongful arrest victims, examine the relevance of civil law principles in addressing the resulting material and immaterial losses, and formulate an ideal compensation framework based on progressive legal theory. Using a descriptive-analytical method with a juridical-normative approach, the research relies on secondary data consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, supported by the analysis of relevant court decisions and doctrinal literature. The findings reveal a significant gap between normative regulations and judicial practice, where compensation is largely limited to material aspects and neglects immaterial harms such as psychological trauma, social stigma, and loss of reputation. Consequently, the study concludes that Article 9 of Government Regulation Number 92 of 2015 requires reformulation through a progressive, human-centered approach that integrates civil liability principles and social security mechanisms to ensure comprehensive, proportional, and substantive restitution for victims of wrongful arrest.
