Law enforcement against human rights violations in black campaigns on social media faces various challenges. One of them is the complexity of technology which makes it difficult to track and take action against violations. In addition, existing regulations may not be adequate to address these new challenges. Lack of awareness of the importance of law enforcement against human rights violations is also an obstacle, especially among the community. Apart from that, there is political pressure that can affect the independence of law enforcement agencies in handling cases of human rights violations in black campaigns on social media. This creates uncertainty in law enforcement efforts and can reduce their effectiveness. Objective study Identify types human rights violations that occurred in campaign black on social media in the 2024 Election.

In this way, the integrity of the democratic process can be maintained and the rights of citizens remain protected.

Prankvertising from Islamic Marketing Perspective: A Case Study of Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Social Media Campaign | Al Marifatul Ala, Intan Fitranisa Universitas Airlangga, Universitas Airlangga Abstract Background – Social media and the touch of creativity influence all business sectors, including marketing strategy. This phenomenon also impacts Muslim market and Halal industry, where adherence to Islamic marketing principles is critical. Public polarization on social media directs massive market opportunity targeted by key opinion leader (KOL) to enlarge their reach in promoting specific products and brands where some might cross the ethics line. One such strategy, Prankvertising, raises potential conflicts with the Islamic marketing ethical framework. Therefore, initial research must be done to evaluate the strategy alignment with Islamic marketing principles. Purpose – This study examines the processes and stages of Prankvertising campaigns on social media and assesses their alignment with Islamic marketing principles. It investigates whether the strategies and impact of the campaign - including public responses - adhere to or diverge from ethical guidelines rooted in Islamic values. Design/methodology/approach – This study implements qualitative approach using a single-case instrumental case study method centered on specific campaign within defined timeframe. Primary data were gathered from social media content and comments using pseudonyms to emphasize roles over personal identities. Rigorous analysis techniques were employed, including triangulation and thematic coding. Findings – The analysis of the prankvertising campaign identified four key phases: the initial act, public response, opportunity gimmick, and official advertisement release with the Brand Ambassador announcement. While some phases aligned with the purpose and fundamentals of Islamic marketing, several aspects deviated from these guidelines. The initial trigger content led to uncontrolled and polarizing reactions, diverging from Islamic marketing values like spiritual wisdom and the Falah (well-being) perspective. After the heightened public attention, the subsequent opportunity gimmick phase indicated lacking adherence to the principles of Ihsan (excellence and integrity) required by Islamic marketing ethics, indicating gaps in maintaining ethical consistency throughout the campaign. Research limitations – The study’s limitations arise from its reliance on data within a specific context timeframe on single-case instrumental design that may limit the generalizability of findings to other cases. Potential researcher bias in data interpretation could happen affecting the objectivity of the findings. Originality/value – Previous studies analyzed Prankvertising as marketing phenomenon on humor perceptions while this study uniquely explores Prankvertising from Islamic marketing perspective. Keywords: Prankvertising, Muslim influencer, Ethical marketing, Social media, Endorsement

This study aimed to identify the dimensions and components of a media model for mitigating the consequences of human rights violations in Iraq. Data were comprehensively collected from Iraq’s media and social platforms, and the analyses were conducted considering the country’s specific sociopolitical context. The central research question was: What are the dimensions and components of an effective media model to reduce the consequences of human rights violations in post-Saddam Iraq? The study employed a qualitative, exploratory research design using the grounded theory approach. The statistical population consisted of faculty members from Iraqi universities specializing in media, communication, human rights, international relations, and political science in 2024. A sample of 13 participants was selected using purposive sampling and based on the principle of theoretical saturation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using three-stage coding (open, axial, and selective coding). The findings resulted in a model comprising six main categories: causal conditions (macro-environmental dynamics; legal drivers, political drivers, military and social drivers), contextual conditions (ideological deviation; systemic inefficiency, soft repression, political suffocation), intervening conditions (structural fracture; lack of restructuring, absence of promotional justice, lack of discursive consensus), strategies (media awareness and development of media literacy; online platforms, online reporting, online campaigns, digital content production, media networking, media storytelling), consequences (improvement of international image; promotion of freedom, enhancement of civil society participation, fundamental reforms, and facilitation of comprehensive capacity-building), and the core category (human rights violations; intolerance toward minorities, lack of central mechanisms, absence of oversight mechanisms, and disrespect for individual rights). The results indicated that media, as an influential bridge between public opinion and social and political institutions, plays a crucial role in shaping human rights discourse and fostering societal transformation.

Social media (SM) use has surged dramatically over the past few decades due to widespread access to electronic devices and the internet. Although SM platforms provide various benefits, there are clear patterns of young people’s misuse, leading to violations of human rights. The article builds on earlier global studies by qualitatively analysing how university students perceive and experience SM use in promoting human rights (HR) violations. The data were collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and face-to-face Key In-depth Interview (KII) techniques and analysed thematically through NVivo 12 software. The findings revealed a greater degree of awareness about SM and HRs. There were also instances of SM abuse motivated by peer pressure, financial gain, self-political interests, and relational conflicts. These contributed to abuses of children’s, women’s, and youth rights. It recommends that stakeholders teach youth about essential societal values and challenges associated with ICT use to avoid SM misuse.

The results of this study indicate that endorsement in an Islamic perspective is a form of mu'amalah that is justified, as long as all transactions are protected from prohibited things by sharia provisions, "Basically all forms of mu'amalah are permissible unless there is evidence that forbids it." in the form of muamalah based on high moral values in Islam, namely: Siddiq (true and honest), Amanah (trusted, credible), Fathanah (intelligent), Tabligh (communicative). There are still many deviant behaviors that are carried out by Endorsement Service users on Social Media.

El-Azab, Spiritual Diplomacy and the Abrahamic Interfaith: Colonial Plan of the New Century (Beirut: Center for Arab Unity Studies, 2021). 256 pp. ISBN 9789953829296 Many questions have been raised in recent years in the debate relating to the notion of “Abrahamic interfaith” as a major approach to global religious peace and a basis for eliminating extremism and violence, and even for eradicating poverty and achieving sustainable development. Interest in research and investigation into the concept of Abrahamic interfaith and its objectives has become prevalent as the notion has featured in the discourse of several American and Israeli circles in relation to the monotheistic religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) in an attempt to politically exploit the common denominators between the three religions and use them in a larger framework of what has become to be known as “spiritual diplomacy.” The author argues that the concept of...

The rapid development of the use of digital technologies has facilitated access to digital information and evidence. This information and digital evidence are obtained via the Internet, social media or satellite. And may be used to investigate violations of human rights and international criminal law. Therefore, there is a problem of rebalancing between the right to privacy and the use of information and digital evidence in the investigation of violations of human rights and international criminal law. This study has objective of unified universal principles that set out the origins and rules for the use of information and digital evidence in the investigation of violations of human rights and international criminal law. In order to ensure international and national justice and criminal accountability and to document all violations of human rights and international criminal law. The analytical approach will be used through analysis of previous studies on the use of digital information and evidence in the investigation of violations of human rights and international criminal law. And analysis of the Berkeley Protocol on Open-Source Digital Investigations. Several findings and recommendations were reached in this paper, the most important of which is the need for the international community to recognize the information and digital evidence obtained to demonstrate violations of human rights and international criminal law.

International justice does not remain on the sidelines from the intensive development of social media: the data stored on the social media possesses great evidentiary value in international courts. The dispute over the disclosure of information by Facebook for use in the Gambia v. Myanmar dispute before the International Court of Justice raises a broader issue of the international legal status of telecommunications companies, obligations of companies and states in relation to the use of social media for human rights violations and commission of international crimes. The article assesses the existing international legal regime of human rights obligations of global social media corporations, as well as their role in administration of international justice, by examining the case of the use of Facebook disseminating hate speech and inciting violence against the discriminated group of Rohingya in Myanmar. The authors analyze the report of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar, Facebook’s reaction to the information of its influence on the situation with Rohingya, and measures taken by the company to reduce the negative impact of its business activity on human rights. The article draws attention to the inconsistent position of Facebook with regard to facilitating the investigation of violations of international law committed through the social media. In particular, the authors comment on the dispute between the Gambia and Facebook before the U.S. Courts arising from the request on disclosure of materials forming evidence in the case of the Gambia v. Myanmar, and lack of action from the US with respect to human rights violations and genocide committed with resources of the US-based social media company. The authors underscore the uncertainty of international legal regulation that impedes effective international investigations of serious human rights violations. Non-state actors remain outside the reach of international justice and international accountability mechanisms, especially when they operate in jurisdictions of states that ignore their positive human rights obligations. The authors conclude that it is necessary to develop effective mechanisms for cooperation and accountability of social media corporations in the field of international justice, as they play an increasing role in the investigation of serious violations of human rights.

Ask a Political Scientist: A Conversation with Catharine A. MacKinnon about Power, Politics, and Political Science

This study examines the transformation of the traditional mato revenue-sharing system in Padang restaurants into a fixed-wage model within the framework of Islamic economics. Employing a qualitative intrinsic case study design, the research was conducted at a Padang restaurant in West Sumatra that has implemented a wage-based system since its establishment in 2011, despite the owner’s cultural familiarity with mato as a Minangkabau heritage practice. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the business owner and were analysed thematically using the Miles and Huberman method. The findings indicate that abandoning the mato system does not reflect a rejection of Islamic economic principles, but rather an adaptation to microeconomic dynamics, income instability, and operational efficiency. Islamic ethical values such as ‘adl (justice), amānah (responsibility), riḍā (mutual consent), and ta‘āwun (cooperation) continue to shape wage management and employer–employee relationships. The shift from kinship-based labour to a formal professional structure has generated notable sociocultural implications. Familial values that traditionally functioned as moral safeguards have been reconstructed through transparent administration and structured supervision, without diminishing the spirit of ukhuwah and the ethical foundations of Islamic law. The study concludes that the implementation of Islamic economics should not be judged solely by the structural format of labor systems, but by the internalization of Islamic moral values in business practices. In this regard, Padang Restaurant X represents a model of “Islamic moral economy” rooted in Minangkabau local wisdom.

Objective: This study aims to explore the right to education for Afghan women through the lens of Islamic law, while critically examining the cultural, religious, social, and political factors that influence its implementation. The research responds to the ongoing marginalization of Afghan women's educational rights, which are often restricted based on specific interpretations of Islamic teachings. These interpretations, frequently shaped by local traditions and political agendas, have been used to justify the denial or limitation of girls' and women's access to education. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this study is grounded in Islamic legal principles such as Maslahah (public interest), Adl (justice), and the obligation of seeking knowledge for all believers. This framework is juxtaposed with Afghanistan's socio-political context, revealing tensions between authentic Islamic teachings and their politicized applications. Literature review: The literature review highlights the fluctuating access to education for Afghan women, influenced by changes in governance, societal norms, and religious authority. While Islamic jurisprudence historically supports gender-inclusive education, local cultural legacies and political instability have distorted its application. Methods: Methodologically, this research employs a qualitative-descriptive design. Primary data was collected through closed-ended questionnaires distributed to educators and female students. Secondary data from academic literature, media reports, and international organizational publications enriched the analysis. Results: The findings indicate that the denial of Afghan women's educational rights stems more from cultural and political pressures than from genuine Islamic legal doctrine. The study reveals a significant gap between the core values of Islamic law and the current practices affecting women’s access to education in Afghanistan. Implications: The implications of this research are both theoretical and practical. It challenges prevailing narratives and encourages policymakers and religious authorities to realign educational policies with the authentic values of Islam. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its integrated approach, combining Islamic legal analysis with socio-political critique, offering fresh insights into an often misunderstood issue.

In modern digital times, social media has progressively changed society's mind. Though social media has great advantages and has been used as a medium to promote freedom of speech, it is also being used as a tool of oppression and violation of human rights. This paper will discuss the violations of human rights through social media in three aspects: the right to privacy, hate speech and trials by media. This paper seeks to explore how social media has adversely influenced and tilted the balance of power in the minds of the people. Several inherent risks are potentially involved in social media virtual communities and groups that are not adequately addressed concerning widespread hate speech. Social media has also impacted courtroom decisions and has introduced the concept of media trials. Moreover, this paper will focus on the right to privacy and its infringements via social media. Social media bears great responsibility to regulate its content and protect such human rights.
