The number of corruption cases in Indonesia continues to increase. The termination of the investigation of alleged corruption at the Aceh Truth and Reconciliation Commission by the Banda Aceh City Resort Police based on a Memorandum of Understanding between the Government Internal Supervision Apparatus and Law Enforcement Apparatus raises problems because it is contrary to the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes which emphasizes that the return of state losses does not erase the crime. This inconsistency raises questions about the validity of stopping corruption cases through the Memorandum of Understanding. This study aims to assess the validity of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government Internal Supervision Apparatus and the Law Enforcement Apparatus as the basis for stopping corruption cases, as well as to outline the legal process that should be taken by the Banda Aceh City Resort Police. This research uses a normative juridical method with a legislative, case, and conceptual approach, based on secondary data from various legal materials. The analysis was carried out in an analytical descriptive manner. The results of the study show that the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government Internal Supervision Apparatus and the Law Enforcement Apparatus cannot be the basis for the termination of corruption cases at the Aceh Truth and Reconciliation Commission because it is only coordinated, not a source of criminal law. The note is only suitable for use to follow up on reports through audits. In addition, the Banda Aceh City Resort Police should continue the case to the investigation stage because the elements of corruption, evidence, as well as elements of mens rea and actus reus have been fulfilled without any justification or excuse. It is suggested that the memorandum of understanding can only be a coordinating guideline, not a basis for stopping corruption cases. Any report must still be processed, and the Banda Aceh City Resort Police are obliged to continue the investigation even though the state losses have been returned.

The downstreaming of natural resources has emerged as a strategic policy implemented by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs to strengthen Indonesia’s economic independence and reduce reliance on raw commodity exports. Grounded in the philosophical foundation of Pancasila, this policy emphasizes the principles of economic equality, national sovereignty, and sustainability, in line with the overarching goals of national development. This study aims to analyze the role of industrial downstreaming policies in enhancing national economic self-reliance through the integration of Pancasila values. Substantively, downstreaming increases value-added production, boosts domestic investment, and facilitates job creation, particularly in the mineral processing and agro-industrial sectors. Moreover, the policy contributes to reducing economic vulnerability to global market fluctuations and aligns with the Pancasila principles of social justice and collective welfare. However, several challenges remain, including infrastructure readiness, environmental sustainability, and inclusive participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The research indicates that the industrial downstream sector, as regulated by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, plays a crucial role in realizing national economic autonomy, requiring its implementation to be aligned with Pancasila principles in order to balance economic progress with equity and sustainability.

Container loading and unloading procedures are a series of essential operational activities carried out to systematically, safely, and efficiently move containers from ships to the stacking yard or vice versa. This study aims to examine these procedures, analyze the effectiveness of their implementation, and identify the obstacles and corrective efforts encountered in the field. The methods used include field observation (field research) and literature review (library research). The results indicate that the procedural stages involve document preparation (Bill of Lading and Manifest), ship berthing, the utilization of various loading and unloading equipment (such as Gantry Crane, RTG, and Headtruck), and container arrangement within the Container Yard (CY). The process involves three main work stages: Stevedoring, Cargodoring, and Receiving/Delivery, which require close coordination among port operators, foremen, and Stevedoring Workers (TKBM). Implementation can be hindered by crane breakdowns, headtruck limitations, traffic congestion, and slow stevedoring performance. Effective solutions suggested include routine equipment maintenance, increasing HT fleet capacity, enhancing human resource competency through training, and coordinating traffic routes with relevant authorities. Optimal procedure execution is crucial for ensuring smooth logistics flow, time efficiency, and occupational safety.

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of the shipping agent, specifically PT. Naval Global Trans Belawan Branch, in ensuring the smooth flow of the maritime logistics chain. The shipping agent functions as a crucial intermediary coordinating contasiner distribution, bridging the interests of cargo owners, shipping companies, and the Belawan Port authority. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection performed through field observation and documentary study within the Belawan Port environment. The findings identify that the shipping agent holds broad responsibilities, commencing with container booking according to the required type and size, scheduling vessel arrivals and departures, managing customs and port documentation, and monitoring container movements (from the depot to loading onto the vessel). This role is highly instrumental in determining port throughput efficiency. However, in carrying out its functions, the shipping agent encounters several significant challenges. These constraints include limited container availability, disruptions in the port information system which is not yet optimally integrated, and dynamic changes in export-import regulations. These obstacles potentially cause operational delays and an increase in logistics costs. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of better information technology integration between the shipping agent and the port authority. Furthermore, enhancing the quality of human resources (HR) through training and certification is key to ensuring that agents can respond to regulatory changes and operational challenges quickly and professionally.

The operational department at PT. Baruna Mitra Segara Lines Bandar Lampung plays a crucial role in ensuring the timely departure of ships.

Baruna Mitra Segara Lines management to enhance the operational process of ship departures.

This community service activity was carried out at Muhammadiyah Tidore Elementary School with a primary focus on improving the competency of teachers and staff in managing the school website. The background to this activity stems from the school's need for information media that is fast, accurate, and easily accessible to the community. The school website not only serves as a means of publishing activities but also as a communication medium between the school, parents, and the wider community. With good website management, information about academic activities, important announcements, and the school profile can be conveyed more effectively. The activity implementation method is carried out through several structured stages. The first stage is preparation, namely identifying needs, preparing training materials, and coordinating with the school. The second stage is technical training involving teachers and staff to understand the basics of content management, from adding articles, updating information, to uploading activity documentation. The third stage is socialization, where the community, especially parents, are introduced to the functions and benefits of the school website. Next, the implementation stage is carried out by directly applying the training results in website management. The final stage is evaluation, which aims to assess the extent to which skills improvements have been achieved and the extent to which the website is utilized by the community. The results of the activity indicate a significant increase in the skills of teachers and staff. They are able to independently update website content and utilize user guides provided in the form of documents and video tutorials. Furthermore, public access to online school information has also increased. This demonstrates that the school website is truly an effective communication tool. Therefore, this community service activity is expected to become a model for information technology empowerment that can be replicated in other schools, particularly in North Maluku.

Human trafficking is a highly complex form of transnational crime involving transnational criminal networks. This crime generally originates from developing countries with unstable socio-economic conditions, where women and children are often the primary victims. They are forced or tricked into working in exploitative sectors, particularly sexual exploitation, labor exploitation, and other forms of oppression that benefit agents, distributors, and organized crime syndicates. In Indonesia, regulations regarding this crime are stipulated in Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. This study aims to determine the form of legal protection provided to victims of human trafficking in the jurisdiction of the Surabaya Police, as well as to understand the various obstacles faced by police officers and the efforts made to overcome them. The research method used is empirical juridical, namely examining the law in practice through primary data obtained from interviews, observations, and official documents, then combined with secondary data in the form of legal literature, laws and regulations, and tertiary legal materials to support the analysis. This study found that the Surabaya City Police have implemented legal protection measures for victims of human trafficking in accordance with applicable regulations, from handling reports and conducting investigations and inquiries, to coordinating with relevant agencies such as social services, women's and children's protection agencies, and non-governmental organizations. However, several obstacles remain, including limited police resources, low victim awareness of reporting cases, and threats from perpetrators that discourage victims from cooperating. Despite this, maximum efforts continue to be made through improved inter-agency coordination, legal and psychological assistance for victims, and firm law enforcement against perpetrators. Therefore, it can be concluded that legal protection for victims of human trafficking at the Surabaya City Police has been quite effective, although institutional strengthening and increased public legal awareness are still needed.

In society, there are terms like Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) which are generally considered as a form of sexual orientation deviation. Sexual orientation itself refers to a person's emotional, physical, or romantic attraction to either the same or the opposite sex. Some countries legalize homosexual life, including same-sex marriage, but in the context of sexual deviation, homosexuality is considered contrary to the norms and values maintained in society. Based on this, several issues are raised, namely how Indonesian criminal law, especially the Criminal Code (KUHP), regulates LGBT; looking at Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights for LGBT; and what legal efforts are made by the government to address issues related to LGBT. The author uses a descriptive analytical research method, with a normative descriptive approach that examines literature and regulations using qualitative legal analysis. The research results show that the provisions regarding homosexuality in Indonesian criminal law, which include Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, are contained in Book II of the Criminal Code, Chapter XIV concerning Sexual Crimes, Article 292, and for cases involving children, are stipulated in Article 82 paragraph (1) of Law Number 35 of 2014. Furthermore, there is no legal recognition of homosexuality, and the law only permits homosexual practices involving children under the age of majority. The constitution recognizes human rights with limitations that may not conflict with regulations, morals, religious values, or public safety. The government is making efforts by coordinating not only with the LGBT community but also with relevant agencies, preventing violations arising from policies or systems, and continuously raising awareness among the government, the public, and various parties regarding human rights principles.

The rapid development of information and communication technology has brought significant changes to social, economic, and political life in Indonesia. However, the complex and rapidly changing dynamics of cyberspace present major challenges in statute, personal data protection, disinformation, and cybersecurity. Unfortunately, the existing regulatory framework is still sectoral and has not yet responded holistically to the various digital issues that arise. This fragmented approach often leads to overlapping authorities, inconsistent enforcement, and gaps in addressing emerging cyber threats. Therefore, the establishment of the National Digital Commission is urgently needed as an independent institution tasked with coordinating, formulating, and overseeing digital policies in an integrated and systematic manner. This commission should consist of multidisciplinary experts in law, technology, and public policy, ensuring balanced perspectives in policy formulation. In addition, it should serve as a bridge between the government, the private sector, and civil society to facilitate inclusive and transparent digital governance. The National Digital Commission is expected to ensure cyberspace governance that is responsive to technological developments while maintaining digital resilience. It must also actively promote digital literacy, ethical online behavior, and responsible use of social media platforms to combat hoaxes and hate speech. Furthermore, the commission must strengthen Indonesia’s cybersecurity infrastructure to protect national interests and uphold the rights of its citizens in the digital space. By creating a unified regulatory framework and robust oversight mechanism, Indonesia can build a safer and more democratic digital ecosystem. This effort is essential in reinforcing accountability, defending cybersecurity, advancing democracy, ensuring governance, and safeguarding innovation in the face of rapid digital transformation.

Children are one of the most vulnerable groups during disasters due to their limited physical and psychological resilience. Therefore, providing disaster mitigation education to children is essential to enhance their awareness, preparedness, and response capabilities in the face of potential disasters. This community service activity aims to increase children's understanding of disaster mitigation through both theoretical education and participatory simulations that reflect real-life scenarios. The activities were carried out using a cooperative-participatory approach in collaboration with the local Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) in Tanah Karo and members of the surrounding community. The stages of implementation included conducting a site survey, securing necessary permits, determining the time and location, coordinating with local stakeholders, and executing the service program. The educational activities covered disaster phases, including pre-disaster, during disaster, and post-disaster, with a focus on practical and age-appropriate learning strategies. The educational team involved an interprofessional group of facilitators who delivered the material through socialization and counseling sessions. The sessions were enthusiastically received by the children, indicating a high level of engagement and interest. However, findings revealed that children's knowledge of disaster mitigation was still minimal, emergency response plans were underdeveloped, and community involvement in disaster preparedness training remained low. This highlights the need for continuous and sustainable disaster education efforts, especially for children and communities in disaster-prone areas. By fostering early awareness and preparedness through ongoing education and simulation-based activities, it is expected that children will be better equipped to respond effectively and safely during disaster situations. Long-term, this approach also aims to build a more resilient and disaster-aware community.

The implementation of the Job Creation Law has brought significant changes to the regulation of foreign investment in Indonesia, particularly through the establishment of a minimum capital requirement for a Foreign Investment Limited Liability Company (PT PMA) of IDR 10 billion. This study aims to examine the formal minimum capital requirements for PT PMA in notarial deeds under the Job Creation Law using normative juridical methods with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches, and referring to the theory of legal certainty, responsibility, and legal protection. The analysis includes the evolution of PT minimum capital regulations, capital classification within the company's legal structure, the phenomenon of fictitious PT PMAs such as the PT BKG case, and the status and limitations of notary responsibilities. The results of the study indicate that although the minimum capital requirement for PT PMAs has been explicitly stipulated in Government Regulation No. 5 of 2021 and Regulation of the Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) No. 4 of 2021, there are legal loopholes in the form of unclear capital deposit periods, weak verification and oversight mechanisms, and the prevalence of nominee practices and fictitious PT PMAs that reduce the effectiveness of the policy. The notary's position as a public official plays a strategic role in drafting deeds of establishment, verifying documents, and providing legal counseling, but has limited authority in verifying material truth. The study concluded that regulatory improvements are needed through establishing clear capital deposit periods, strengthening verification and oversight mechanisms, and harmonizing regulations between institutions to ensure the effective implementation of minimum capital requirements for foreign-owned companies (PT PMA) in accordance with the principle of economic sovereignty.

Every teenager should ideally be able to grow and develop well according to their age and as the next generation of the nation, but in reality there are teenagers who commit crimes, one of which is online gambling. Online gambling crimes among teenagers have an impact on other crimes, such as theft, so they must be dealt with optimally. The problem of this research is regarding the criminological analysis of online gambling crimes among teenagers in North Lampung and how the efforts made by the North Lampung Police in dealing with online gambling crimes among teenagers. This research uses a normative and empirical legal approach. The data collection procedure is carried out by means of literature studies and field studies. which are then analyzed qualitatively to obtain conclusions. The results of the research and discussion show that the criminological analysis of online gambling crimes among teenagers in North Lampung in accordance with the Differential Association Theory shows that the cause of teenagers committing online gambling crimes is the interaction, relationship, and communication between teenagers who have never gambled online with other teenagers who have gambled online. In accordance with the Strain Theory, the cause of teenagers committing online gambling crimes is the demands of daily needs. According to Social Control Theory, the cause of teenagers committing online gambling crimes is the lack of supervision from various related parties such as family, schools/educational institutions and law enforcement officers. Efforts to overcome online gambling crimes in teenagers through non-penal means are carried out by socializing child protection and cooperating/coordinating with schools. Penal means are carried out through the process of investigating children who commit online gambling crimes by child investigators based on the Juvenile Justice System Law.    

Village development is the main focus of Indonesia's national policy, especially after the enactment of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. In its implementation, the role of the Ministry of Villages (Kemendesa) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) is very important, however, disharmony of authority often occurs which hampers the effectiveness of these policies. This research aims to analyze the disharmonization of authority between the two ministries and formulate a harmonization solution from a legal perspective to increase more efficient and sustainable village development. The method used is a normative approach with comparative juridical analysis of existing regulations, which include related laws and policies. The research results show that there are overlapping regulations and roles between the Ministry of Villages and the Ministry of Home Affairs in aspects of preparing the RPJMDes, managing village funds, as well as coaching and supervising village heads. This research suggests the need for clear legal reconstruction and better coordinating mechanisms between the two ministries to avoid conflicts of authority that could hinder the achievement of village development goals. In conclusion, harmonization of authority normatively, institutionally and technically is very necessary to increase the effectiveness of village development and provide better legal certainty.

This study examines the universal concept of human rights as fundamental to all individuals. Human rights reflect dignity, equality, autonomy, and legal protection, and must be ensured by the state. Although broadly accepted, continuous education and public awareness—especially for marginalized groups—remain essential. In Gorontalo Province, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights’ Regional Office plays a pivotal role in responding to alleged human rights violations through its Community Communication Services Program, as regulated by Ministerial Regulation No. 23 of 2022. Using an empirical legal approach, the study gathers data through literature reviews, legal documents, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. Findings show that the Regional Office serves as a key constitutional institution promoting access to justice and upholding legal protections. Its activities include handling public complaints, forming investigative teams, and coordinating with law enforcement and legal aid bodies. Legal aid—both state-sponsored (pro deo) and volunteer-based (pro bono)—emerges as a crucial tool for promoting justice, especially for the underprivileged. The structured complaint mechanism under Ministerial Regulation No. 23 of 2022 strengthens the state’s role in ensuring equality before the law and fulfilling its constitutional obligations to protect human dignity and human rights.

This research discusses the legal process against children who commit indecent crimes and the role of rehabilitation as a recovery effort based on Decision Number XXX/Pid.Sus-Anak/2024/PN Mgg. This investigation uses normative and empirical legal methods by analyzing laws and regulations and judicial practices against children. This investigation purposes to examine the role of the prosecutor in determining the boarding school as a place of rehabilitation and assess the suitability of the prosecutor's charges with the provisions of juvenile criminal law in Indonesia. The findings showed that prosecutors play an important role in determining the form of rehabilitation by coordinating with community supervisors, considering the best interests of the child as stipulated in Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Child Criminal Justice System (UU SPPA). The selection of pesantren as a place for rehabilitation reflects an educational approach that not only punishes, but also shapes the morals and character of children so that they can return to society in a better condition. This rehabilitation also provides access to education and guidance in an environment that supports the mental and social recovery of children and prevents repetition of criminal acts.

This study aims to analyze the optimization of the role of Dandim 1301/Sangihe in handling the eruption of Mount Ruang as part of the implementation of the Indonesian Army’s (TNI AD) main duties in the field of Military Operations Other Than War (OMSP). The research was conducted in Sitaro Regency, North Sulawesi, using a qualitative approach with purposive sampling techniques. The informants consisted of personnel from Kodim 1301/Sangihe, BPBD staff, and community leaders. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentary studies. The results show that the role of Dandim is crucial in coordinating and mobilizing disaster response, but there are still challenges such as limited personnel, logistics, equipment, and weak inter-institutional coordination. The study concludes that optimization can be achieved through the development of a disaster risk map, strengthening inter-institutional collaboration, utilizing technology (drones), and conducting routine disaster training and simulations. These measures are expected to improve the effectiveness and speed of response in facing volcanic eruptions.

This study aims to determine and analyze the role and effectiveness of the forestry police in overcoming illegal logging crimes. The type of research used is empirical juridical, by collecting data based on facts in the field and analyzed qualitatively descriptive. The role of the forestry police includes non-penal and penal efforts. Non-penal efforts are in the form of prevention such as providing appeals for environmental conservation, reforestation, supervision of forest utilization permits, mapping of vulnerable areas, and improving the quality and quantity of personnel. Penal efforts include arresting perpetrators, confiscating evidence, making minutes of examination, and coordinating with other law enforcement officials. Factors affecting the effectiveness of the forestry police include legal substance, legal structure, community culture, facilities and infrastructure, area compared to the number of personnel, population growth, and increasing modus operandi due to high demand for timber. Synchronization of regulations between sectors is needed to avoid overlapping rules. The government also needs to strengthen forestry police infrastructure and encourage active community involvement in preserving forests in North Gorontalo District.
