Establishment Of The Asset Confiscation Law To Minimize Corruption In Indonesia

This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach, namely describing a number of things that are closely related to confiscation of assets in criminal law, criminal acts of corruption, and other things. The data used in this research is secondary data in the form of the Criminal Code, Civil Code, statutory regulations, the official website of the House of Representatives, other credible websites, and so on. The researchers analyzed the data using grammatical and systematic legal analysis techniques, namely interpreting every word in the legislation and connecting it with other secondary data or other related legislation. The result in this article show there are three major urgencies for the presence of the Law on Asset Confiscation in Indonesia, namely to provide instruments that are stricter than the current regulations because in the Criminal Code, asset confiscation is only an additional crime and not the main crime, providing a deterrent effect for corruptors and potential corruptors, and of course minimizing corruption cases in Indonesia. Under existing legal structures, state losses resulting from criminal acts of corruption cannot be recovered. Recovering state losses takes years and may not even be returned at all. What is meant to provide a deterrent effect in this research is to impoverish corruptors, change the nomenclature of words whose nature is emphasized from facultative to imperative, and change its status not only to become an additional crime, but also to become a principal crime. On this basis, researchers are of the opinion that the presence of asset confiscation laws in Indonesia can be effective in minimizing the occurrence of corruption in Indonesia.

Reactualization of Pancasila as a Source of Indonesian Law in Realizing Justice

Pancasila, as the basis of the state, continues to experience fluctuations and challenges occasionally. As the basis of the state's view of life, Pancasila directs how the process and law are carried out to fulfill justice amid state life. This doctrinal legal research reflexively examines Pancasila as the basis of the state and the source of law. The research findings show that Pancasila is the basis of the state as well as the basis of the state's view of life, which serves as a guide in the management and structuring of the state. In the legal context, Pancasila is a legal ideal (rechtsidee) primary source of state law. Pancasila serves to ensure justice by assessing how the law is formulated and to determine the legality of a regulation. At the praxis level, the Constitutional Court, as the guardian of the state ideology, is expected to make Pancasila a touchstone in testing every regulation.

Establishing Boundaries to Combat Tax Crimes in Indonesia

Enforcing criminal tax law in Indonesia presents a critical yet challenging task, because of the intricate interplay between tax and criminal law interests. The Indonesian Government has introduced leniency in tax criminal law enforcement, guided by the ultimum remedium principle, where criminal sanctions are considered as a last resort. Under this policy, tax offenders can absolve themselves from legal liability. However, such leniency throughout the enforcement process can lead to perceptions of injustice within society. This research uses descriptive, evaluative, and normative juridical methods to examine Indonesia’s approach to enforcing criminal tax laws within the framework of tax and legal interests. Our findings reveal that the current policies heavily favor taxpayer interests by providing numerous concessions to offenders. This trend is concerning, as it may result in a surge of tax crime cases. Conversely, adopting the primum remedium principle, where criminal sanctions are the initial response, poses the risk of harsh legal consequences. In light of these challenges, we propose a balanced approach incorporating elements of both ultimum and primum remedium principles to establish clear boundaries and provisions within criminal tax law enforcement policies. By doing so, we aim to accommodate tax interests while upholding legal interests.

REIMAGINING LEGAL AID INSTITUTION REGULATIONS TO ENHANCE LEGAL CLARITY

Purpose: to examine in depth the current LBH establishment arrangements. In addition, this study aims to formulate a regulatory formula for the formation of LBH that is appropriate and in accordance with the applicable legal context, with the main aim of realizing better legal certainty in supporting the mission of LBH in providing legal assistance to the community.   Methods/design/approach: This research uses qualitative methods with a prescriptive research approach by describing data findings, both primary and secondary data, that have been processed and analyzed.   Results: This research found that the regulations for the establishment of LAI/LAO in Indonesia need to be clarified, especially in terms of the status of the legal entity used. The status of the foundation dominates so that it becomes biased in carrying out its role as a legal aid institution to the community with consistency in the principles of the foundation regulated in Indonesian law. It is necessary to reformulate regulations that are more transparent and comprehensive for advocacy principles and can provide legal assistance to the community properly without being bound by limitations that may exist in the Foundation law.   Conclusion: The dominant legal entity status for the Legal Aid Institute is in the form of a Foundation, a form of Foundation legal entity that has been the most appropriate to establish LAI/LAO in Indonesia because it has advantages, the foundation is non-profit and has no members, so it is more independent and cannot be intervened by any party. The provisions of legal entities in the Legal Aid Law, which are currently still based on Foundations and Associations, need to be supported by supervisory requirements in their implementation so as not to violate the essence of the enactment of the Foundation Law. Reformulation must result in clear legal aid institutions, protect human rights, provide equal access to justice, and achieve the desired level of legal certainty.

Konsekuensi dari Ekosistem Digital terhadap Regulasi Persaingan Bisnis di Indonesia dan Peran Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha (KPPU) dalam Era Ekonomi Digital

The era of the digital economy as it is today has demanded business people to carry out their business activities online. As a result, buyers will also make purchases online. It has implications for business competition. In this case, Law (UU) No. 5 of 1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair business Competition has not accommodated the impact of the digital economy. So with that, this research has two objectives. The objectives are; First, to know the effect of the digital ecosystem on business competition law in Indonesia. Second, to see the role of the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) in the digital economy era in the event of unfair business competition. This research uses the type of juridical-normative research. The impact of the digital economy on business competition in Indonesia has resulted in a lot of abuse of the digital platform market. In this case, digital platforms are increasing with vertical business development. This business development increases the ability of digital platforms to collect more data, increase their competitiveness and become online shop owners and application users, so that the dominant position of digital platforms can be abused, for example, discriminating against competitors in retail, exclusivity agreements with consumers, and selling policies. With losses may result in competitors becoming uncompetitive in the market and leaving the market. Responding to these challenges, it is necessary to have a regulation that regulates in a more specific scope. This is because several countries in Europe have revised their business competition law regulations to protect business actors. In addition, as a form of responding to the challenges of the times that have changed the direction of the economy and online business. Of course, the government and business actors must work together to achieve good goals for the parties who will have an impact.

Comparative Study Of Reasons For Divorce Based On National Marriage Laws In Indonesia And Turkiye

Marriage aims to build a happy and eternal family, but realizing this is challenging because many factors trigger a conflict that leads to divorce. Research focuses on reasons for divorce based on marriage law. To sharpen reasoning in studying the laws of other countries, the research was carried out using comparison.

The research method uses a statutory and comparative approach with secondary data, namely Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and the Turkish Civil Code 1926. The analysis uses three paths with conclusions based on vertical comparisons: Indonesia and the Islamic School of Religion. Shafi’i and Turkey, with the Hanafi School, both adopted some of the provisions of the school to become part of the regulations. Horizontally, the reasons for divorce in the Marriage Law in Indonesia and The Turkish Civil Code 1926 in Turkey are largely similar, and diagonally with a comparison of the history of marriage legislation, namely that every aspect of marriage law regulations is more or less influenced by the school of thought followed by that country.

Transformation of Islamic Law into Positive Law within Pornography Legislation

As the country with the largest Muslim majority in the world, it is only natural to frame Islamic law as the legal framework for pornography legislation. The reality is that Indonesia is a unitary state, so the establishment of an Islamic state is not feasible. This article falls underthe category of literature research with a qualitative approach. The methodology used is normative legal studies with a content analysis approach. The research concludes that the transformation of Islamic legal values can be manifested in positive law by implementing Islamic law in Indonesia without establishing an Islamic state.

The pattern of transformation in Islamic law is substantive (essential). Although not exactly the same as what exists in the concept of Islamic law, the substance or essence is in line with Islam or not contradictory to Islamic teachings, as seen in Law No. 44 of 2008 concerning pornography.

The Practice of Adoption in the Sasak Community and Its Implications for Marriage Law in Indonesia

Adopting a child is a tradition that has long been practiced by Arab society and continues to this day. The practice of adopting children when Islam came was then perfected by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, so that it has a basis in Islamic law. This study explores adoption practices in contemporary Sasak society and their implications for reformulating Islamic Marriage Law. This research uses a normative juridical approach analyzed with the theory of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah. The data analyzed are laws, legal regulations and decisions of religious courts on the island of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara regarding child adoption cases and norms regarding child protection as normative legal material. These data sources are collected through documentation techniques and analysed using data compaction, display, and conclusion-drawing stages, employing analogical and teleological legal interpretation approaches. The study identifies three classifications of adopted children based on marital status and the presence of biological parents: legitimate children, illegitimate children, and children with unclear status. The research upholds the Islamic legal principle that adoption does not sever the child's lineage from their biological parents, even if their existence is unknown, and does not establish a lineage between the adopted child and their adoptive parents. The study has three implications for Islamic marriage law in Indonesia: including adoption provisions in the Marriage Law, eliminating the article that allows polygamy as a solution for childless couples, and adding requirements for marriages involving "unclear children" as authentic evidence to prove no blood relation between the prospective bride and groom, thus preventing invalid marriages.

In this type of legal research, law is often conceptualized as what is written in statutory regulations (law in books). Therefore, some of the data sources are primary data and secondary data. The data used in this research are primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques in this research were carried out through literature study and interviews. The data analysis technique used is a qualitative normative analysis technique which describes and interprets the data in sentence form properly and correctly, obtaining short answers which are formulated deductively.   Results and conclusion: The revocation of political rights to occupy public positions for those convicted of corruption is carried out because corruption is behavior that deviates from the norms accepted and adhered to by society, the aim of which is to obtain personal gain. This criminal act of corruption is a violation of the social and economic rights of the community, so that criminal acts of corruption can no longer be classified as ordinary crimes but have become extraordinary crimes (extra ordinary crimes). As is known, one of the public positions is the position of regional head which is regulated in Law no. 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government. The regulations that limit former convicts from becoming regional heads are stated in Article 58 letter f, which states that they must never be sentenced to prison based on a court decision that has permanent legal force for committing a criminal offense that is punishable by imprisonment for 5 (five) years or more. The root of the problem in corruption cases is abuse of power, of course this must be the basis for why it is difficult to restore the trust of former corruption convicts to return to contesting in the 2024 elections and fill public positions, which is feared that ex-corruption convicts will commit acts again in similar cases. to fill public office again.   Research implications: The findings of this research have implications for policy makers. Determining convict status for public officials under the pretext of corruption is a worrying phenomenon, because public officials as servants of the people have now betrayed them, by abusing their authority to carry out acts that should not be carried out. The public officials who were caught by the anti-military agency (KPK) are the result of the hard work of the Corruption Eradication Commission to ensure justice for the entire community.   Originality/value: This research contributes to existing literature by focusing on penalties for revoking political rights for public officials convicted of corruption. By identifying obstacles and providing recommendations, this research offers insights that can help prevent or protect society from threats that could harm society's interests based on a justice perspective.

Normative Harmonization: The Eclecticism of Talak Law as a Compromise between Islamic Legal Principles and Indonesian Legislation

This article discusses the validity and legal consequences of divorce in Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach with deductive analysis method and literature study with Normative-Juridical approach. The results show that divorce is considered valid in Islamic law if it fulfills the predetermined conditions. On the other hand, in Indonesian positive law, divorce is recognized as valid if it is carried out through a court hearing process in accordance with Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. In terms of post-divorce legal consequences, both Islamic law and Indonesian positive law regulate the rights, positions and obligations of former husbands and wives. Indonesian positive law, particularly in relation to divorce, has undergone legal eclecticism, incorporating the principles of legality, justice and humanity. Meanwhile, in the context of Islamic law, these principles are manifested in the concept of mashlahat, which covers five aspects, namely the maintenance of religion, soul, mind, offspring, and property.

Controversies and Unconstitutional Practices of Elections Postponement in Indonesia: State Interest or Political Elite Interest?

The Indonesian political atmosphere has recently been shocked by controversial issues regarding the postponement of the Indonesian elections in 2024 nationally. The reason for postponing the election is due to the unstable economic condition of the country after COVID-19 so that it is considered incapable of holding elections in 2024. This study aims to find out how the postponement of elections is regulated in Indonesia, as well as whether the postponement of elections is a constitutional action or for the interests of groups elite. The results of this study indicate that basically the Indonesian Election Law does not specifically regulate the postponement of elections. The postponement of elections in the provisions of election law in Indonesia only regulates regional election delays. Meanwhile, national election delays are not adequately regulated. Therefore, nationally postponing the election is considered a violation of the Indonesian constitution. In addition, it is seen that the postponement of the election is not an aspiration of the Indonesian people so that it is considered an attempt by the political elite to take political advantage in the 2024 election.

DEDE OETOMO: HIS STRUGGLE AGAINST DISCRIMINATION OF HOMOSEXUALITY FROM 1978 TO 2016

Dede Oetomo, born in 1953, is Indonesia’s first LGBT (currently popular with LGBTQ+) activist. He uses the LGBT organisation GAYa NUSANTARA as a vehicle for LGBT to obtain safe sex education, to gain their emancipation in same-sex marriage, and to struggle anti-social and political discrimination.
