One example of a case of falsified documents in the issuance of overlapping land certificates occurred in East Luwu Regency and was raised in court through Decision Number 90/Pid.B/2020/PN MII. In this case, it was discovered that land certificate falsification was carried out by a land mafia, resulting in the emergence of two certificates for the same plot of land. This practice not only harms the legitimate owner but also creates laws and gives rise to complex agrarian conflicts. This research uses a normative juridical method, with an approach based on laws and court decisions. The results show that the preservation was an intentional act carried out by one party, with the aim of controlling land rights that did not belong to him. In the decision, the perpetrator was found guilty and sentenced because it was also proven to have falsified documents, as stipulated in Article 263 of the Criminal Code (KUHP). From this case, it can be concluded that law enforcement against overlapping duplicate certificates is very important to ensure legal certainty and protection. Protection efforts for land rights holders are carried out through a land registration process that complies with procedures based on Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning the Principles of Agrarian Law. Compliance with these procedures can provide a strong basis for identifying legitimate rights holders and preventing future damage, including cases of overlapping certificates caused by document falsification. To prevent the recurrence of similar cases, it is necessary to improve the monitoring system and digitize land data comprehensively by the National Land Agency (BPN). An integrated digital-based land system can minimize the opportunity for the issuance of duplicate certificates for a single plot of land, because all land rights data can be accessed and disclosed transparently and in real time.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the vaccination program in Indonesia as an effort to mitigate the health crisis. However, this emergency has also opened up opportunities for the widespread circulation of illegal and counterfeit vaccines, threatening public safety. This article aims to analyze the legal implications of this phenomenon through a normative-empirical approach using case studies. Three main cases are analyzed: the 2016 national counterfeit vaccine case, the 2021 illegal COVID-19 vaccine sales case in North Sumatra, and the falsification of COVID-19 vaccine certificates that occurred between 2021 and 2022. The analysis focuses on identifying legal loopholes, weaknesses in the oversight system, and their consequences for human rights protection and the integrity of public health programs. The results show fragmented oversight of vaccine distribution, weak transparency in the vaccine supply chain, and legal sanctions that have not provided a significant deterrent effect on perpetrators of health crimes. These conditions not only threaten individual safety but also undermine public trust in the national vaccination program. Inconsistent law enforcement and weak inter-agency coordination have exacerbated the situation. Therefore, efforts are needed to strengthen stricter regulations, increase synergy between supervisory and law enforcement agencies, and secure an integrated and transparent health information system. These measures are expected to ensure the security of vaccine distribution and enhance the accountability of the vaccination program in Indonesia, thus optimally protecting the public's right to health.
