The development of digitalization has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including employment relations. One of the innovations that has emerged is the use of digital employment contracts as a replacement for paper-based contracts. Digital employment contracts offer flexibility and efficiency in modern employment relations. However, in Indonesia, legal regulations related to digital employment contracts still face major challenges, considering the absence of regulations that specifically accommodate this mechanism. Article 52 of Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower only regulates the requirements for the validity of an employment contract without mentioning the use of electronic documents, while Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE) has recognized the validity of electronic documents. This study aims to analyze the regulation of digital employment contracts in Indonesia, compare them with regulations in other countries, and provide policy recommendations to ensure legal protection for workers in the digitalization era. The method used is a normative legal approach with comparative legal analysis of countries such as the European Union and the United States. The results of the study show that although digital employment contracts are legally valid in Indonesia, there are still legal gaps related to the protection of workers' rights, supervision of implementation, and protection of personal data. Therefore, it is necessary to update regulations that are adaptive to technological developments, including the integration of the principles of justice, legal certainty, and protection of workers' rights in digital employment contracts.

This study examines justice in employment law from the perspective of legal philosophy, focusing on the relationship between employers and workers in Indonesia. Based on Article 27 paragraph (2) and Article 28D paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, justice in employment relations is considered as one of the manifestations of human rights that must be guaranteed by the state. However, in practice, the imbalance in the bargaining position between employers and workers often creates injustice, especially in wages, job protection, and the fulfillment of basic workers' rights. Through a legal philosophy approach, this study analyzes the application of the concepts of distributive, commutative, and retributive justice in employment relations. The results of the study show that although employment regulations, such as Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Employment, have attempted to create justice, their implementation still faces various obstacles, including weak supervision and bias towards economic interests. This study has theoretical benefits in deepening the study of legal philosophy related to justice in industrial relations, as well as practical benefits in providing recommendations for policy makers to improve employment regulations. Thus, this research is expected to be a foundation for creating fairer and more balanced working relationships in Indonesia.

This study aims to examine the implications of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) on employment law politics in Indonesia, as well as their impact on employment structures and relationships. Along with rapid technological advances, especially in the fields of automation and AI, the world of employment is undergoing significant transformations that affect work models, employment contract arrangements, and worker protection. This study will identify how these technologies affect employment relationships, creating new opportunities, but also threatening the sustainability of jobs in certain sectors. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis to understand the dynamics of change resulting from automation and AI, and their legal implications for workers and companies. The main focus of this study is to assess the extent to which employment policies in Indonesia can accommodate the new challenges arising from this technological shift, and how the existing employment law system needs to adapt to remain relevant and effective. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to policymakers, legal practitioners, and academics, by providing recommendations on how employment policies in Indonesia can be updated to anticipate the negative impacts of technology, protect workers' rights, and create social justice in an increasingly digitalized world of work. This research will also provide an overview of the role of technology in shaping future industrial relations and regulations, and propose a legal framework that is adaptive to the development of automation and artificial intelligence in Indonesia.

In Indonesia, restorative justice has begun to receive serious attention, as evidenced by the issuance of several regulations to support its implementation. One of these is the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law, which incorporates the spirit of restorative justice into efforts to resolve cases involving children through the Diversion mechanism. However, despite the existence of supporting regulations, the implementation of restorative justice in Indonesia still faces various challenges. The purpose of this article is to examine the effectiveness of fulfilling restorative justice in Indonesia. The research results indicate that there are still several shortcomings in the enforcement of restorative justice. Additionally, there is a need for an institution capable of overseeing the implementation of non-litigation processes. The Witness and Victim Protection Agency is considered to have a strong position to act as a supervisor for restorative justice due to its alignment with its duties and functions.

Nigeria's economy has been severely stagnant since the 1980s. Afrocentric literature charts the nation's history, whereas Eurocentric literature identifies the Nigerian civil war and the corrupt practices of its leaders as the primary cause economic hardships to her historical colonial dominance and economic exploitation activities. However, none of the aforementioned reasons provide stronger support for being the cause of the nation's economic dysfunction, particularly when contrasted with IMF measures implemented there. The IMF's policies on Nigeria's Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) and its Loan Conditionality are partially shown in this article to be "the crux impediment facing the country." As a result, the paper makes the case that, among other mismanagement policies, General Ibrahim Babangida's acceptance of IMF loans contributed to the nation's economic problems and backwardness. Using primary and secondary sources, the study makes the argument that its riches would be restored by a more inclusive economic system free of the current extractive economic practices.
