Abstract

The rise of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) poses substantial challenges to international legal frameworks governing armed conflicts, particularly in balancing sovereignty and human rights. This paper examines the influence of military technology on jus ad bellum, focusing on territorial sovereignty under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and self-defence under Article 51. It also evaluates compliance with jus in bello, or international humanitarian law (IHL), including the principles of distinction, proportionality, and necessity. Moreover, it documents the views of thirty Italians on UAVs through online qualitative interviews. The arguments are based on posthumanism, which helps define a new anthropological view that is decentralised and deconstructed. Precisely, the philosophy recognises the increasingly narrow differences between humans and non-humans, men and machines. Thematic Analysis drives the investigation of patterns within the data set, offering a flexible yet rigorous approach to personal insights. Outcomes reveal that UAVs enable many military achievements but endanger society. Participants viewed their use outside war zones as both illegal and morally indefensible, expressing concerns over the dehumanisation inherent in remote targeting. They argued that engaging with suspected terrorists without judicial oversight might violate due process. Hence, they stressed the importance of more nuanced national and international regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract

Land rights under the Cultivation Rights Title (HGU) can serve as collateral in credit agreements through the imposition of a mortgage right. However, legal challenges arise when the status of HGU land as collateral changes, particularly due to its designation as abandoned land by the Indonesian Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN). Such status changes have significant legal implications for credit agreements, mortgage rights, and the economic value of collateralized land. This study analyses the legal framework governing the determination of abandoned land status, examining statutory regulations and their impact on credit agreements and collateral objects. Employing a normative legal research methodology, the study utilises statutory analysis, conceptual exploration, and interpretative approaches to assess the legal consequences of such status changes. The findings reveal that the designation of land as abandoned results in the termination of cultivation rights and the extinguishment of mortgage rights. While the credit agreement itself remains legally binding, the loss of economic value in the collateral renders it non-executable, leading to financial losses for both creditors and debtors. To address these legal uncertainties, the study recommends amendments to the regulatory framework governing abandoned land to enhance legal certainty, ensure fairness, and provide adequate protection for both creditors and debtors.

Abstract

Cultural heritage is a fundamental asset in promoting cultural diversity and facilitating access to education, social values, science, technology, and tourism. Museums play a pivotal role in preserving cultural heritage and fulfilling constitutional obligations, as enshrined in the Indonesian Constitution. Protecting cultural heritage is essential for maintaining national identity and upholding citizens' constitutional rights, particularly in education and cultural participation. This study analyses the constitutional framework and government policies related to cultural heritage protection, with a specific focus on museums in Indonesia. Employing a statute-based and comparative approach, the research examines constitutional provisions such as Article 18B(1) of the Indonesian Constitution, which mandates the state’s responsibility to preserve cultural heritage and safeguard indigenous communities' rights. Despite this constitutional obligation, challenges such as limited financial resources, inadequate maintenance, and institutional constraints hinder the effective operation of museums. The findings emphasize that strengthening museums is not only necessary for heritage conservation but also for fostering national and local values that define Indonesia’s constitutional identity. The study argues that the government must implement more comprehensive policies and allocate sufficient resources to enhance museums’ role in cultural preservation, ensuring their sustained contribution to public welfare and national development.

Abstract

Access to justice is often hindered by financial constraints, preventing plaintiffs from pursuing legal claims. Third-Party Litigation Funding (TPLF) offers a potential solution by allowing external funders to finance litigation in exchange for a share of any awarded damages or settlement. By covering litigation costs, TPLF enables financially disadvantaged plaintiffs to seek legal redress, making it a crucial mechanism for expanding access to justice. However, unregulated TPLF poses risks, including the encouragement of frivolous claims, ethical concerns, and profit-driven motivations that may override legal merit. Indonesia currently lacks specific regulations governing TPLF, raising questions about its legal permissibility and practical implementation. This study examines TPLF frameworks in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States to derive insights that may inform the development of TPLF practices in Indonesia. Utilizing a normative legal research methodology based on secondary data, the study explores the opportunities and challenges of introducing TPLF into the Indonesian legal system. The findings indicate that while TPLF can be legally accepted in Indonesia, its application should be restricted to cases with broad public interest, such as environmental and consumer litigation. Furthermore, Indonesia’s ongoing efforts to enhance access to justice and the absence of explicit legal prohibitions present opportunities for the regulated adoption of TPLF. This research contributes to the discourse on litigation funding by providing recommendations for policymakers, legal practitioners, and stakeholders in shaping a fair and regulated TPLF framework in Indonesia.

Abstract

Access to clean water is a fundamental human right recognised by the United Nations. However, in Iraq, particularly in the Kurdistan region, this right is under significant threat due to severe pollution and contamination of rivers. While the Iraqi Constitution and environmental laws indirectly acknowledge the right to clean water, the legal and institutional framework for river protection remains inadequate. This study focuses on the Tanjero River as a case study to assess Iraq's legal framework and enforcement mechanisms for water resource protection. This study identifies critical gaps in legislation and enforcement through a qualitative and socio-legal methodology, including interviews and analysis of relevant laws such as Law No. 8 (2008) for Environmental Protection and Improvement. The findings reveal that the Tanjero River's pollution is primarily caused by mismanagement of water resources, insufficient legislation, weak enforcement, lack of coordination, and inadequate infrastructure. The Kurdistan Regional Government must prioritise sustainable water resource management, establish a comprehensive legal framework, and implement rigorous enforcement measures to address these issues. These steps are essential to safeguarding the right to clean water, protecting public health, and promoting sustainable development in the region.

Abstract

Terrorism remains a persistent and significant global threat, with far-reaching consequences for world peace and stability. The September 11, 2001 attacks marked a pivotal moment in the fight against terrorism, prompting governments and international organizations to adopt new strategies to counter this threat. In response to these tragic events, the United States enacted the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), a legislative framework designed to allow victims of terrorism to seek compensation from state sponsors of terrorism. While JASTA reflects a commitment to holding individuals and nations accountable for supporting terrorism, it has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it undermines the principle of sovereign immunity, while others view it as a crucial tool for combating terrorism. This study examines the legal and procedural implications of JASTA, focusing on the challenges of bringing civil actions under this law. Through a literature-based research approach, the study explores anti-terrorism laws, relevant case law, and the practical obstacles of pursuing legal claims under JASTA. The findings highlight the legal complexities and political considerations involved in holding state sponsors accountable, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that upholds international law and diplomacy while ensuring justice for terrorism victims. This research contributes to ongoing discussions on refining strategies to combat state-sponsored terrorism and offers recommendations for potential legislative reforms to enhance the effectiveness of JASTA in achieving justice.
