Pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi dalam cyber pornografi

Writing this article aims to identify and analyze the position of corporations as legal subjects in cyber pornography and forms of corporate criminal liability as active actors and corporations as passive actors in their position as online communication intermediaries as platform providers that can be accessed by the public. In this journal article, normative legal research is used. Corporations as legal subjects are recognized in the ITE Law Article 27 (1) in conjunction with article 52 paragraph 4, but the definition of the corporation itself is vague considering that the ITE Law is not explained especially in general criminal law (KUHP) which does not recognize corporations as legal subjects who can be held criminally responsible. In cyber pornography, corporate criminal liability in terms of corporations acting as active actors can be charged with Article 45 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 52 paragraph 4 of the ITE Law and also Article 40 paragraph (7) of Law 44. of 2008 concerning Pornography, but in the case of corporations act as passive actors, namely as intermediaries for online communication or as platform providers, cannot be held criminally responsible because there are no regulations that regulate it.How to cite item: Pakpahan, H.

Human activities that are less controlled, make a clean and healthy living environment less and less, this is because the earth is currently getting older and the activities of humans themselves are not properly preserving the environment. Humans have a role and responsibility to empower the environment to maintain the ecosystem. However, the current reality is that most environmental crimes often involve corporations. This study aims to examine the regulation of criminal acts by corporations in the perspective of the Copyright Act and to reveal criminal sanctions against corporations that commit acts of environmental pollution in terms of the Copyright Act. This research uses a normative research type, with a Legislative approach. As for what is used as primary data, namely Law Number 32 of 2009, Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation is the legal basis for knowing criminal arrangements and criminal sanctions against corporate criminal liability for environmental pollution in terms of the work copyright law. Data were collected using library research techniques. After the research data has been collected, it is processed by elaboration, namely combining the sources of the primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials with deductive and inductive logic. The results of this study indicate that corporate crime is essentially a functional act and is in the form of an inclusion offense. The criminal sanction of imprisonment is 1/3 to the management of the corporation.

The Criminal Liability of Corporations as Crime Perpetrators

In terms of handling corporate crimes that culminate in "sentencing" or "giving punishment", corruption is referred to as a crime that has caused damage to life. However, this is not mentioned much in criminal law studies. In addition to sentencing, corporations that committed corruption must also return corporate assets to the state. This needs to be considered according to the philosophy of nature aequum est neminem cum alterius detrimento et injuria fieri locupletiorem. This philosophy means that no one can enrich themselves at the expense and suffering of others. This philosophy changes the source of this doctrinal principle, namely crime does not pay or crime shall not pay into an expression of resistance to crime perpetrators so that they cannot enjoy the results of the crime they committed. The statement of the problem in this paper is how is the philosophy of sentencing corporations that are perpetrators of corruption? This research used secondary data through literature study in the form of laws and descriptive analysis. The imposition of a criminal fine creates implications and juridical problems for corporations that committed corruption. The recommendation of this paper is to build an ideal model of sentencing corporation based on justice.

Corporate Crime and Corporate Criminal Liability in Indonesia Positive Law

Corporate crime is a unique crime against which excellent deterrence should be combated. However, these efforts are inversely proportional to the criminal law policies that serve as the basis for their implementation. The KUHP, the key pillar of the statute, merely acknowledges natural persons as subjects of criminal law. And they do not regard companies as criminal law topics. Crime laws must also be renewed. On this basis, a criminal policy will be discussed in Indonesia about the criminal liability scheme. The results of studies indicate that criminalization of all types of corporate crime was regarded as a crime according to positive criminal law in Indonesia. The relationship between one and the other criminal code differs however. The Criminal Code notes that the crime modes sometimes perpetrated by the companies were considered a criminal offense but should be performed by a normal individual. In other words, it may be claimed that companies have not been considered subjects of criminal law by the Criminal Code. However, in some criminal law laws out of the Criminal Code, companies have been treated as targets of criminal legislation and should be responsible for their acts. In Indonesia, the criminal liability scheme introduced by the Positive Legislation seeks to identify and delegate hypotheses where the errors and the source of authorities they have are assessed. The requirements in one criminal law and the other, however, are comprehensively different. For instance, a criminal must not be the manager, but someone who does anything in or for the sake of a company and the act is carried out within the framework of a corporation. It is not, however, expressly specified by the draft Law on the Criminal Code that the criminal is convicted so as to understand that the criminal is not liable for the crime he commits because criminal liabilities were transferred to the company. The draft Criminal Code Act (RKUHP) has accommodated companies as subjects of criminal law and arranged procedures for criminal liability. It can be seen from the principle of the renewal of criminal law that future criminal law would regard business offences as criminal actions and that penal penalties will be imposed on the company. The established provisions clearly show that the model and philosophy embraced are the doctrines of vicarious responsibility, even though there are shortcomings in the model.

The Formulation Policy on Corporate Criminal Liability for Criminal Violations of Crimes against Biological Natural Resources and Ecosystems

Indonesia is blessed with extraordinary natural wealth. Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution stipulates that "Earth, water, and natural resources contained there are controlled by the state and used as much as possible for the prosperity of the people." biological natural resources development can take place in the best possible way with conservation effort. So that the biological natural resources and its ecosystem are always maintained. Development of biological natural resources and their ecosystems is essentially an integral part of sustainable national development. Efforts to conserve biological natural resources and their ecosystems are realized through efforts to analyze and evaluate legislation in the field of support in order to provide future improvements. This paper aims to discuss the corporate criminal liability in Indonesia of conservation of biological natural resources and its ecosystem and suggested revision for this law. Revision of the draft Law About conservation of biological natural resources and its ecosystem has been doing by legislators since 2018. So, the Draft Law is still on processing of revision in the national legislation program (prolegnas). The protection of biological natural resources and its ecosystem becomes the government's main concern because it's regulation still has no deterrent effect for violators. This was proven by many cases about animal trafficking after the rampant raids or raids of protected wildlife traders. The Law No. 5 of 1990 About: Conservation of Biological Natural Resources And the Ecosystem has weakness of violation animal and plants trafficking, the imposition of low fine and low penalty to corporations for criminal violations of crimes against biological natural resources and ecosystems. This law needs substantial revision in the corporate criminal liability of violation poaching of wild animals in order to make the implementation effective.

Corporate Criminal Liability for Criminal Acts of Corruption

Concept of Criminal Law on Corruption of Corporate Criminal Liability System Based on Justice Value

The purpose of writing is to analyze the corporate accountability system in order to impose crimes against corporations, and obstacles to imposing crimes against corporations. The method used is the statute approach and the case approach, the analysis method uses qualitative analysis with interpretation, and the data collection method uses library research.

It is suggested that there is a common perception among law enforcers about the criminality of corporations.

CORPORATE CRIMINAL LIABILITY REGARDING IUU FISHING FOLLOWING THE JOB CREATION LAW ENACTMENT

This research analyses how is corporate criminal liability regulation in Indonesia regarding IUU Fishing following the enactment of the Job Creation Law. This research uses both statute approach and conceptual approach as the legal research methods to analyse the issued legal problem. Following the enactment of the Job Creation Law on 5th October 2020, some articles of Law No. 45 of 2009 amending law no. 31 of 2004 concerning Fishery are amended, including the corporate criminal liability regulation. This research’s analyses shows that in order to improve the effectiveness of IUU Fishing law enforcement, specifically the ones being committed by a corporation, the Job Creation Law needs to be amended, specifically its article concerning corporate criminal liability, by changing the used conjunction to ‘and/or, as regulated in the draft of Fishery Law as well. Furthermore, as the term of ‘person in charge’ is more appropriate, in case of corporate criminal liability system, than the one used in the Job Creation Law, which is ‘employee’, the Job Creation Law shall be revised by opting the former term into it.

Error in Personam: Confusion in Indonesia’s Environmental Corporate Criminal Liability

Since 1997, various provisions have been incorporated into Indonesia’s environmental law which relate to corporate criminal liability. Other laws relating to natural resource management have also had provisions on corporate criminal liability inserted into them. These laws are problematic because they often fail to distinguish between corporate criminal liability and corporate officers’ criminal liability, and as do the courts in their interpretation and application of them. Currently in Indonesia, an officer may be held liable for a crime committed by their corporation, even without being at fault or appearing as a defendant in the trial. Indonesia’s environmental law can therefore be said to be applying a rather extreme version of individual vicarious liability in environmental cases, in which a corporate officer is punished merely because of their position as a high-ranking officer of a corporation. This practice seems to be the result of an erroneous interpretation of corporate criminal liability. We argue that the Indonesian interpretation of environmental corporate criminal liability is not only ineffective but also harmful and inconsistent with theories of corporate criminal liability. We also argue that corporate criminal liability should be distinguished from the liability of corporate officers. While corporate criminal liability places criminal liability on the corporation as a legal entity, officers' criminal liability places the criminal liability on the corporate officers as individuals. A corporate officer should only be criminally liable if they can be blamed for an environmental crime committed by the corporation.

Criminalizing Corporations In Environmental Crimes

The research objective is to find out how criminal law against the environment accommodates criminal acts committed by corporations and to find out the practice of settlement through criminal law instruments in terms of corporate criminal liability in the environmental sector. The research method used is a normative juridical research method. There is the existence of criminal law as a part of 3 law enforcement regimes (state administrative law and civil law). then the involvement of criminal law in the settlement in the environmental sector regulates the existence of corporate criminal liability (business entity) as a subject of criminal law. The corporate criminal responsibility used by the UUPPLH is strict liability according to the law.

OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. Implications on Corporate Criminal Liability in Latin America

This article analyses the impact on corporate legal liability legislation in Latin America as a result of the celebration of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention in 1997, which established legally binding standards to criminalize bribery of foreign public officials in international business transactions. For that purpose, the legal background for liability of legal persons will be examined and the nature of corporate legal liability in each of the jurisdictions under analysis (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Peru). It also explores whether there have been any sanctions imposed on legal persons and individuals as a consequence of the modifications introduced in the domestic legislations as a response to the recommendations made by the Convention.

Crime and the Corporation: Making the Punishment Fit the Corporation

The debate over corporate criminal liability has long involved a fight between proponents who argue that corporate liability is necessary for effective deterrence and opponents who claim that it “punishes the innocent.” This article agrees and disagrees with both sides. Corporate criminal liability could play a critical role in establishing an effective deterrent to organizational misconduct, but today it largely fails. Currently, we have a system that combines Deferred Prosecution Agreements, Non-Prosecution Agreements, and extraordinarily generous sentencing credits for compliance plans that have failed, and the result is a system that is more carrots than sticks. The evidence seems clear that corporate fines seldom affect the company’s stock price (even when they are record penalties), that companies rarely self-report their misconduct (despite legal incentives to do so), and that courts impose penalties that can be easily absorbed as a cost of doing business. This analysis leads many to favor a system that focuses only on corporate executives and dispenses with the corporation as a target of the criminal law. That would be an unmitigated mistake. Although executives are deterrable, corporate executives are much harder to identify and prosecute for a variety of reasons. In this light, the critical role of corporate criminal liability is that it can give the corporation a stronger incentive to self-report, monitor its employees, and turn in those responsible. But this requires that we extend leniency only for objective conduct that generates deterrence. A principal goal of this article is to provide a roadmap for how we can make the punishment fit the corporation. Leniency can be used as a tool, but should not be extended gratuitously. Ultimately, to curb corporate misconduct, society must choose between either vicarious liability for executives (which is contrary to our tradition and should shock civil libertarians) or vicarious liability for shareholders (which they have had for a century and is always bounded by the ceiling of limited liability). Either choice will have its costs, but the latter is clearly preferable to the former.

Business and Human Rights – Recent Trends in Germany

There is an undeniable, growing trend in the current Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) discussions: the responsibility of corporations to abide by and to protect human rights. This discussion includes potential criminal liability for corporations as well as their management for human rights violations. This article will survey the legal status quo of corporate responsibility in the context of human rights protection in Germany. It will then outline two drafts of legislation: a first draft leaked to the press in February 2019 that did not result in further legislative action, and a second draft recently leaked to the public that included key points for such a legislation to become the new German Human Rights Supply Chain Due Diligence Law.
