This study critically examines the implementation of Article 20 of Law No. 31/1999, as amended by Law No. 20/2001, concerning the eradication of corruption (UU Tipikor), with a focus on corporate accountability in corruption offenses. It aims to address three primary concerns: (1) the practical application of corporate liability mechanisms, (2) the effectiveness of sanctions imposed on corporations, and (3) the legal obstacles that impede the full enforcement of corporate criminal responsibility. Employing a normative legal approach, this research integrates statutory analysis, case law evaluation, and theoretical exploration. The findings highlight considerable challenges in proving corporate liability, as well as the limited scope and effectiveness of current penalties. These difficulties stem from ambiguities in distinguishing between the responsibilities of individuals and the corporation, and the lack of consistent legal interpretation by law enforcement authorities. The study proposes a set of recommendations, including the formulation of clear technical guidelines, the continuous professional development of legal practitioners, the enhancement of sanctions against corporations, and the establishment of a centralized database of judicial decisions involving corporate criminal liability. These measures are essential to ensure more effective corporate accountability and the prevention of systemic corruption in Indonesia.

The corruption case in the BTS 4G project by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo), which involved the misuse of funds in the construction of BTS towers in Indonesia's 3T (underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost) regions, has become a major public concern in recent years. The Rp 9.8 trillion project is suspected to have been misappropriated by several officials involved. This study aims to examine the role of social media in increasing public participation in the monitoring and mitigation of the corruption case. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach combined with social media analysis. The findings show that social media plays a significant role in accelerating the dissemination of information related to the BTS 4G corruption case, raising public awareness, and exerting social pressure on law enforcement agencies to take action. Furthermore, social media also facilitates digital activism, which mobilizes public support and strengthens oversight of government policies. This study concludes that social media serves as an effective tool for social control, although it also faces challenges in terms of the spread of hoaxes and disinformation.

Law No. 31/1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption and Law No. 8/2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering. There are also international legal instruments adopted to strengthen efforts to seize assets from criminal acts of corruption, such as UNCAC which was ratified by the Government of Indonesia into Law Number 7/2006 concerning Ratification of the UNCAC on April 18, 2006. Indonesia needs a regulation that has stronger legal force and has a special mechanism regarding the mechanism for the confiscation of assets and assets that are suspected of being obtained as a result of corruption. It can be suggested to the Government and the legislature to encourage the discussion and passing of the asset confiscation bill’s immediately.

Eradicating corruption is a top priority to improve people's welfare and strengthen the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and in order to achieve national goals. Therefore, the policy of optimizing corruption eradication must be followed up with a comprehensive, integral, and holistic strategy in order to truly achieve the expected results.

Eradication of corruption in Indonesia has been made maximum efforts, but the reality shows that the number of corruption cases continues to increase. This situation is caused by the obstacles encountered in efforts to prevent and eradicate corruption. In its development, corruption in Indonesia is no longer a monopoly of bureaucrats but has also involved actors in the private sector. For example, corruption can be committed by corporations, either directly or through the actions of people acting on behalf of or for the interests of the corporation. The method used is the normative juridical method, a legal research method that relies on the study of primary legal materials, such as laws, legal theories, and legal concepts. This method is analytical and examines the legal norms applicable in laws and regulations. Enforcement of criminal law against corporations in corruption cases is an important aspect in efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. Corporations are responsible for actions taken in their interests. Sanctions imposed on corporations, either in the form of fines or administrative sanctions, are expected to provide a deterrent effect and prevent the recurrence of corruption. Criminal law enforcement against corporations in corruption cases faces various complex and diverse obstacles. These obstacles include the complexity of the corporate organizational structure, difficulty in providing evidence, transfer of responsibility, lack of clear regulations, minimal sanctions imposed.

Human trafficking is a serious and growing crime, including in Cambodia, which has become one of the countries vulnerable to this practice. This study aims to analyze the handling of human trafficking crimes in Cambodia from an international law perspective. Cambodia plays a significant role in the context of human trafficking due to its geographic location and socio-economic conditions, which influence the rate of human trafficking, whether for sexual exploitation, forced labor, or organ trafficking. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach from various sources, including international conventions, reports from international organizations, and Cambodia's national regulations. The findings show that although Cambodia has adopted several laws to combat human trafficking, the implementation of these policies is often hindered by limited resources, corruption, and lack of cooperation between countries. Additionally, despite efforts from the international community, such as the Palermo Protocol, challenges in consistently applying the law remain a significant barrier. The study also finds that stricter law enforcement and better rehabilitation systems for victims are necessary to improve the situation. Therefore, further collaboration between the Cambodian government, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations is needed to comprehensively address this issue.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plays a crucial role in combating corruption in Indonesia. This institution was established to address various corruption cases involving public officials, with the aim of increasing transparency, accountability, and justice in government administration. However, KPK faces numerous challenges in carrying out its duties, such as revisions to laws that limit its authority and obstacles in coordination with other law enforcement agencies. The factors causing corruption in Indonesia are complex, including weak oversight, a permissive culture towards corruption, and lack of transparency in state budget management. KPK not only focuses on taking action against corruption perpetrators but also strives to recover state losses through asset confiscation mechanisms. Despite this, KPK's effectiveness in combating corruption is often hindered by both internal and external challenges. Therefore, it is important to continuously strengthen coordination among law enforcement agencies and encourage legal reforms to enhance this institution. With stronger commitment from all parties, corruption eradication in Indonesia can be more effective, leading to a clean government free from corruption practices.

Corruption in Indonesia is very worrying and has a negative impact on almost all aspects of life. Efforts to eradicate corruption that have been carried out so far have not shown optimal results. Corruption still occurs as if it has become part of our lives. Therefore, efforts to eradicate corruption must be carried out comprehensively, integrally, and holistically. Law enforcers in carrying out law enforcement must be carried out firmly, consistently, and in an integrated manner, which is an important step in order to be able to produce just law enforcement, providing legal certainty. These steps can be taken by imposing the heaviest sanctions for perpetrators of corruption, both criminal sanctions and fines. This is expected to increase public trust, create a deterrent effect, and prevent potential corruptors. This study is entitled Thoroughly Examining the Increasingly Occurring Corruption Culture in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to determine and explain how to eradicate criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia.

Advocates are one of the main pillars in the justice system that have a strategic role as law enforcers, human rights defenders, and guardians of justice. However, amidst high public expectations for the integrity and professionalism of advocates, various serious challenges have emerged, one of which is the practice of corruption that can damage the dignity of this profession. This article aims to examine the position of advocates as enforcers of justice from the perspective of professional ethics and the potential for involvement in corruption. Using a normative legal approach, this article analyzes the legal basis and code of ethics of advocates, as well as real case studies as an empirical illustration.      

Islam, as a perfect religion, teaches the values of honesty, justice, and transparency in various aspects of life, including economics and business. The prohibition of Tadlis (fraud in transactions), Ihtikar (hoarding goods for unfair profit), and Ghulul (corruption or betrayal of public trust) has been emphasized by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to protect society from harmful economic practices. This study aims to analyze the 2025 Pertamina corruption case from the perspective of Islamic prohibitions against Tadlis, Ihtikar, and Ghulul. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method, relying on secondary data from scholarly journals, news articles, and other relevant literature. The findings reveal that the corruption case reflects Tadlis through the manipulation of fuel quality information, Ihtikar through unfair price control, and Ghulul through the misappropriation of public funds, resulting in state losses amounting to trillions of rupiah and eroding public trust in the government. The study highlights that corruption is not only a violation of state law but also a moral crime that contradicts Islamic principles. The application of Islamic legal values, such as Ta’zir sanctions in the form of fines, asset confiscation, and severe punishments, can serve as preventive and repressive measures against corruption. Thus, this study aims to contribute to strengthening anti-corruption policies based on Islamic ethics while promoting transparency and justice in national economic governance.

In handling corruption crimes, prosecutors can act as investigators and also as public prosecutors, so their role in eradicating corruption crimes by means of a penalty is very dominant, by means of a penalty meaning eradication of criminal acts by using criminal law in handling them. Until now, there are still many corruption cases whose investigations are carried out by prosecutors. However, there are different opinions regarding whether prosecutors have the actual authority as investigators of corruption crimes. This issue has emerged long before the Corruption Eradication Commission was established, especially after the Criminal Procedure Code was enacted, and the debate continues to this day.

This article analzses sixteen short stories in modern Javanese literature. Those short stories were published between 2003 and 2005 in Panjebar Semangat, a Javanese weekly periodical in Surabaya. Using Anderson’s concept of power in Java as the main theoretical framework, I delve into the sixteen short stories to understand how power operates after the 1998 Indonesia’s Reformation. In addition, I also use Anderson’s, Geertz’s, and Magnis-Suseno’s concepts of harmony in Javanese society as the second theoretical framework to analyze how the sixteen short stories reflect the relationship between the rulers and the people. The analysis shows that the sixteen short stories are loaded with the corrupt power causing disharmony in modern Javanese and Indonesian societies. The corrupt power in Indonesia did not only happen during the New Order regime but also in the Reformation Order regime. After the Reformation, people hoped that those in power would become much better in creating welfare, prosperity and justice for the people, but they were as corrupt as or even more corrupt than those during the New Order regime. The corruption of power has many manifestations which cause further distance between the rulers and the people, and thus creating disharmony in Javanese society. Since most authors of Javanese literature are from the ordinary people, they take side with the common people. Even though the analyzed short stories are far from being the voices of all people in Java, at least they represent the voice of the voiceless.

This research is motivated by the performance of the Padang City Inspectorate auditors which is still not optimal in implementing good governance. This is indicated by the cases of violations that have occurred, including corruption. One example is the corruption of the KONI Padang City Grant Fund with the source of the Padang City APBD Fund from 2018 to 2020, which resulted in financial losses for the State and Region of 3,117,003,327,- (BPKP Representative Office of West Sumatra Province, 2022). The purpose of this study is the effect of auditor independence, professional ethics, and organizational commitment on the performance of Government Auditors at the Padang City Inspectorate. This study uses a quantitative method. Data were collected using a questionnaire technique, the respondents of this study were 52 auditors. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that auditor independence has a significant positive effect on auditor performance, professional ethics has a significant positive effect on auditor performance, and organizational commitment has a significant positive effect on auditor performance. Meanwhile, simultaneously auditor independence, professional ethics, and organizational commitment have a significant positive effect on the performance of Government Auditors at the Padang City Inspectorate. Thus, it can be concluded that the four variables are very important to support the performance of the Padang City Inspectorate auditors    

Caliph Umar bin Khattab was one of the greatest leaders in Islamic history who succeeded in building a fair and transparent economic system through the establishment of Baitul Mal. This institution became the center of state financial management that accumulated funds from various sources such as zakat, kharaj, jizyah, and fa'i, then distributed them for the welfare of society. Umar applied the principles of justice, honesty, and prudence in managing the economy, including progressive fiscal policies such as pension systems, social security, and equitable budget allocation. This study uses a library research method to analyze Umar bin Khattab's economic policies and their relevance to public financial management in a Muslim-majority country like Indonesia. The results of the study show that Umar's economic principles, such as transparency, equity, and community empowerment, can be a solution to overcome the challenges of corruption, social inequality, and budget inefficiency in the modern era.

Afghanistan, often called a "geological treasure trove," is richly endowed with vast mineral deposits worth over $3 trillion. The minerals, including copper, lithium, iron, gold, and rare earths, can be used to resurrect the nation's economy, reduce dependence on foreign aid, and bring about political stability. However, three decades of conflict, political turmoil, corruption, and inadequate infrastructure have been a hindrance to the effective exploitation of the resources. This paper examines the role of mining in Afghanistan's economic and political development, distilling the opportunities and challenges in the industry. Drawing on comparative case studies from resource-rich countries like Botswana and Chile, the study highlights the importance of open government, robust regulatory institutions, and strategic foreign partnerships. The evidence suggests that an efficiently operated mining sector would be a driver of sustainable development, provided that Afghanistan addresses deep-seated systemic evils in the form of corruption, insecurity, and environmental degradation. The research concludes with policy imperatives aimed at maximizing the contribution of the sector to national development.

The purpose of the study was to assess how strong leadership affected Nigerian organizations' performance. A questionnaire and structured interview questions were used for the evaluation, which was intended to ascertain the effect of good leadership on the organization's performance; evaluating the impact of the relationship between effective leadership and organizational performance in fostering the maximization of the organization's objectives; determining whether there are any potential means of improving organizational performance; and analyzing whether there are three leadership barriers that impede organizational performance. The study looks at the chances of strong leadership in maintaining Nigeria's good governance. This acknowledges how the idea of "effectiveness" contributes to productivity in a certain polity. The study looks at leadership, corruption, and governance challenges using an eclectic approach and theories of the two public and nature of society. Its goal is to outline the course of an effective leadership and governance strategy that can solve Nigeria's several issues. As a result, everyone must work together to promote strong leadership and sound governance, which have the potential to eradicate corruption from the country's political system. The followers should also fulfill their civic obligations, both mandatory and voluntary.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the ethics of the accounting profession and corruption cases, as well as how regulation and supervision can help reduce corrupt practices in the business and government sectors. This study uses a literature review method to analyze internal and external environmental factors that cause corruption in accounting, business ethics principles violated in corruption cases, and prevention efforts and the role of supervisory institutions in suppressing corrupt practices. The results show that corruption in accounting can be caused by internal and external environmental factors, such as a lack of internal supervision, a company culture that does not support ethics, and weak regulations. The principles of business ethics that are violated in corruption cases include the principles of integrity, objectivity, and transparency. Prevention efforts and the role of supervisory agencies can help reduce corrupt practices in accounting. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more ethical and transparent accounting theories and practices.
