This study discusses legal protection for customer data security in internet banking systems in Indonesia, especially after the enactment of various related laws and regulations. The purpose of this study is to analyze how legal protection is applied and the legal measures that can be taken by customers if their data is not protected. The research method used is normative legal research with a qualitative approach, through data collection from secondary sources such as laws, legal literature, and official documents. The final findings show that although legal protection has improved with the existence of relevant laws, there are still challenges in its implementation. Customers have the right to file complaints and legal claims in the event of a data breach, which includes complaint procedures with banks and the Financial Services Authority. Compliance with regulations and the principles of legal justice are essential to maintaining public trust in the banking sector.

This study aims to analyze the responsibilities of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) and the state in implementing restitution for victims of sexual violence, particularly when the perpetrators are unable to pay or are sentenced to death. The background of this research lies in the weak implementation of restitution, which should be a fundamental right of victims, as illustrated by the case of Herry Wirawan based on the Bandung High Court Decision Number 86/Pid.Sus/2022/PT Bdg. The research addresses two main problems: (1) how the state and LPSK ensure the victims’ rights to restitution under such circumstances, and (2) what obstacles hinder the implementation of restitution based on the decision. The study employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and case study approach. The findings show that the implementation of restitution still faces serious obstacles, such as the absence of technical mechanisms, the lack of designated executing institutions, and the lack of coordination among law enforcement agencies. LPSK plays a role in proposing and calculating restitution amounts but lacks execution authority. Moreover, the state has not yet fulfilled its role as the ultimate guarantor for victims when the perpetrator is unable to comply. In conclusion, Indonesia’s legal system needs to strengthen technical regulations, ensure inter-agency coordination, and affirm the state's role as a guarantor of restitution to achieve meaningful restorative justice for victims of sexual violence

Plagiarism in scientific writing is a serious violation that not only harms the original creator but also undermines academic integrity, the development of scientific knowledge, and the credibility of educational institutions. This research aims to analyze the regulation of plagiarism acts based on the laws and regulations in Indonesia, as well as to build a firmer criminal law construction against acts of plagiarism within academic settings. This study employs a normative juridical method with a doctrinal approach, examining relevant laws and legal theories. The findings indicate that although plagiarism has been regulated in several legal instruments such as the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP), Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright, Law Number 20 of 2003 on the National Education System, and the Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 17 of 2010, the existing regulations tend to be administrative in nature and have not provided a sufficient deterrent effect. Therefore, a more comprehensive and implementable criminal law construction is needed to ensure the protection of scientific works and legal certainty in the enforcement of criminal sanctions against perpetrators of plagiarism. In addition, preventive efforts through academic ethics education, the implementation of plagiarism detection systems, and the strengthening of internal policies within universities are also important steps that must be optimized.

This study aims to analyze and find the inhibiting factors faced by North Lampung Police investigators in handling domestic violence (KDRT) cases. The research approaches used are normative juridical and empirical juridical The normative juridical approach is carried out by examining laws and regulations related to the handling of domestic violence, such as Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence. Meanwhile, an empirical juridical approach is carried out through the collection of primary data from interviews with investigators, prosecutors, academics, and non-governmental organizations active in handling domestic violence. Secondary data is obtained from legal literature, official documents, and applicable regulations. The results of the study show that there are several significant obstacles in the process of investigating domestic violence cases. These obstacles include the lack of sensitivity of investigators to the psychological condition of the victim, social pressure and stigma towards the victim that makes reporting low, and limited public understanding of forms of domestic violence, especially non-physical ones such as psychological and economic violence. Internal obstacles also arise from the limitations of supporting facilities such as victim-friendly examination rooms, psychological assistants, and special training for investigators in handling gender-based cases. From the juridical side, the lack of a clear rule regarding the limits of penal mediation in domestic violence cases creates legal uncertainty and opens up space for perpetrators to escape criminal snares through peace that is often impure. In addition, the patriarchal culture that is still strong in society is a structural obstacle in the law enforcement process that favors victims, especially women. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of investigators through continuous training, the provision of victim-friendly support facilities, widespread legal socialization to the community, and the reformulation of legal policies that are more firm and in favor of victims. Thus, law enforcement of domestic violence cases can be carried out more effectively, fairly, and oriented towards the protection of human rights.

In the Indonesian economic system, cooperatives play a crucial role as one of the pillars of the national economy, as mandated in Article 33 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This article emphasizes that "the economy is structured as a joint venture based on the principle of kinship," which serves as the constitutional basis for the existence and development of cooperatives in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is normative juridical, focusing on legal frameworks and regulations related to cooperatives. The results of the study indicate that the government holds an important and strategic role in regulating and supervising cooperatives to ensure the protection of the rights and obligations of cooperative members. Through regulatory instruments such as Law Number 25 of 1992 concerning Cooperatives, the government establishes cooperative principles, good governance standards, and oversight and development mechanisms. The government’s efforts are aimed at ensuring the operation of cooperatives is transparent, accountable, and beneficial to all members. Furthermore, the study found that despite these regulatory efforts, significant challenges remain in the cooperative sector. These include issues such as weak financial reporting, low literacy rates among cooperative members, and the dominance of local elites, which can hinder the equitable distribution of benefits. These challenges need to be addressed to ensure that cooperatives can fulfill their role as economic agents that contribute to national development in line with the principles of kinship and mutual benefit.

This research examines the legal safeguards for children born outside of marriage in Indonesia after the release of Constitutional Court Decision (MK) No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010, which represented a pivotal shift in national family legislation. Up until now, children born outside of marriage have frequently encountered bias and unfair treatment, both socially and legally. The Constitutional Court (MK) Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 marks an important advancement in enhancing the civil status of children born outside of marriage, establishing connections not just with their mother and her relatives, but also with their biological father if scientifically validated, for instance, via DNA testing. In this research, the author will examine how judges define legal protection for children born outside of marriage in light of Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 and how this decision is executed in legal practices and everyday life, especially concerning the acknowledgment of rights for children born outside of marriage and the obligations of their biological fathers.This study uses a normative research method with a legislative approach and a case approach.  Data was collected through library research covering primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, namely by collecting legal materials through studies of books, journals, legal research results,  as well as various official institutional documents such as regulations and other literature relevant to the issues being studied.  The research findings indicate that legal protection for children born out of wedlock needs to be further strengthened through legal reform, public education,  and legal recognition and validation mechanisms, so that the basic rights of children can be optimally fulfilled in accordance with human rights principles and applicable laws and regulations.

This study analyzes the impact of implementing Indonesia’s Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law) on cybersecurity in the e-business sector. Using a normative qualitative approach through literature analysis, this research examines the regulation’s implications for technical infrastructure, compliance procedures, and human resource capacity development within e-business operations. The findings indicate that although the PDP Law provides a comprehensive legal framework and human-centered principles for personal data protection, its implementation faces technical, operational, and economic challenges, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). These challenges include limited security infrastructure, lack of technical expertise, and high investment costs. Nevertheless, adopting strategies such as multi-layer security architecture, zero-trust security model, privacy by design, and strengthening human resource capacity can enhance consumer trust, industry credibility, and the global competitiveness of Indonesia’s e-business sector. This study contributes to the literature by bridging the gap between personal data protection regulation and cybersecurity practices while offering strategic recommendations for both business actors and regulators.

The right to health services for residents of Senawang Village and evaluating the legal protection mechanisms that can be taken by residents of Senawang Village due to the lack of health services, the type of research used is empirical legal research. The approach method used is a sociological approach and a legislative approach, the type of data is primary data, secondary data and tertiary data. While the data collection techniques are in the form of interviews, literature, and documentation. Finally, with the analysis of the data obtained from this study, it can be concluded that the fulfillment of the right to a healthy life is a basic right that must be guaranteed, because health is part of the primary needs of every human being, which is clearly regulated in Article 28 H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution and Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2023. However, the reality in the field shows that the implementation and implementation of these various policies is still far from expectations. This shows a gap between the ideal regulations on paper and their implementation in real life. Therefore, synergy between infrastructure policies and health services is crucial because without concrete improvements in the infrastructure sector, the goal of realizing equitable, fair, and high-quality access to health services for all Indonesians will be difficult to achieve.

Copyright protection is a crucial aspect in providing legal recognition and guarantees for intellectual property. However, understanding of copyright among educators and students remains limited, potentially leading to violations and a lack of appreciation for copyrighted works. This situation highlights the urgent need for comprehensive education in educational settings, particularly at MA Tijarotal Lantabur. This community service activity aims to improve teachers' and students' understanding of the concept of copyright, the benefits of registration, administrative procedures, and the legal protection provided by the state. Furthermore, this activity is expected to foster awareness of respect for intellectual property and encourage independent copyright registration initiatives. The methods used were interactive lectures, group discussions, and online copyright registration simulations through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) system. The material was delivered in simple and applicable language to ensure participants' understanding. Evaluation was conducted by comparing participants' understanding before and after the activity. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of copyright concepts and procedures. Participants not only understood the benefits of legal protection for intellectual property but were also able to practice the registration steps independently. Furthermore, a collective awareness emerged to disseminate the acquired knowledge to colleagues and the school environment. Overall, this activity succeeded in increasing legal literacy regarding copyright among teachers and students, and is expected to be able to form a culture of respect for intellectual works while minimizing copyright violations in the educational environment.

Tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in the world, contributing significantly to state revenue and improving people's welfare. The tourism industry has grown rapidly in recent decades, with the number of international tourists continuing to increase. The general objective of this study is to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of the impact of uncontrolled tourism on the sacredness of Bali's nature and culture, as well as strategies for developing sustainable tourism in Bali. The type of research used by the author in examining the problems in this study is normative juridical research. The conclusion of this study is a legal review of the protection of natural and cultural heritage in Bali Province is regulated in several laws and regulations such as Law No. 5 of 1990 concerning the Conservation of Biological Natural Resources and Ecosystems. In addition, cultural protection in Bali has also been regulated in several laws and regulations such as Law No. 11 of 2010 concerning Cultural Heritage. This legal review will also discuss the implementation of laws and regulations related to the protection of natural and cultural heritage in Bali. The Bali provincial government's policy on the protection of natural and cultural heritage, namely the policy on the protection of natural heritage is regulated in the Governor's Regulation or Pergub No. These include Law No. 97 of 2018 concerning the Limitation of Single-Use Plastic Waste, Governor Regulation No. 45 of 2019 concerning Bali Clean Energy, Governor Regulation No. 48 of 2019 concerning the Use of Battery-Based Electric Motorized Vehicles, and Governor Regulation No. 8 of 2019 concerning Organic Farming Systems. Cultural heritage protection policies are regulated by Law No. 10 of 2010 concerning Tourism, Regional Regulation No. 2 of 2023 concerning the Bali Provincial Spatial Plan (RTRWP), the Designation of Cultural Heritage Areas in Bali, such as Ulun Danu Batur Temple and Lake Batur, the Subak Cultural Landscape and Temples in the Pakerisan Watershed, and others.

A parenting seminar on maternal and child mental health organized by KPM UI Bunga Bangsa Cirebon students in Pegagan Village is a form of community service aimed at raising awareness and understanding of the importance of mental health in parenting. The limited knowledge of mental health issues in rural communities, coupled with high levels of stress experienced by parents, often negatively impacts parenting practices. This has the potential to hinder optimal child development, both physically, psychologically, and socially. Therefore, this activity was designed with a participatory approach, where the community is not merely an object but is also involved from the beginning of the planning process. This process includes coordination with village officials, seminars, and monitoring and evaluation stages, so that the community feels ownership and plays an active role in the program. The seminar featured speakers from psychology and legal academics who explained the relationship between parental mental health and fulfilling legal obligations to protect children's rights. The material presented emphasized how parental stress and emotions can affect child development, as well as the importance of parents' ability to manage the pressures of everyday life. Participants gained an understanding of strategies for maintaining mental health, including good time management, building open communication within the family environment, and strengthening social support as an emotional support system. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' awareness of the importance of mental health not only as an individual need, but also as a moral, social, and legal responsibility in creating a healthy, safe, and resilient family environment. Therefore, this parenting seminar can be seen as an effective educational strategy, not only strengthening parents' capacity to raise children but also building sustainable local support networks for the well-being of families and communities.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the legal protection provided to MSMEs through Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition, and the role of the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) in upholding justice in the digital sector. This research uses a normative legal approach with an analysis of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results of the study indicate that various obstacles remain in the implementation of legal protection for MSMEs, ranging from low digital literacy to the imbalance of power between MSMEs and large digital platforms. Therefore, regulatory strengthening and policy reform are needed that are responsive and pro-MSME to create a fair, inclusive, and sustainable digital business ecosystem.

This study examines the application of the ultra petita principle in decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, focusing on the case study of Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023. The ultra petita principle is classically understood as a prohibition for judges to rule beyond what is explicitly requested by the parties to the case. However, in practice, the Constitutional Court often uses this principle flexibly to ensure substantive justice and the effective protection of citizens' constitutional rights. This shows how constitutional adjudication in Indonesia tends to prioritize substantive justice over procedural limitations. This thesis aims to analyze the legal basis used by the Constitutional Court when deciding ultra petita cases, while also examining the resulting legal implications for the administrative system of lawmaking in Indonesia. Using a normative legal approach, this study finds that the Constitutional Court positions itself as the sole interpreter of the constitution with progressive authority. In this sense, the Court's decisions may expand its role beyond the traditional boundaries of judicial authority. However, the Constitutional Court's ultra petita practice has the potential to raise concerns about judicial overreach. Ultra petita decisions not only resolve constitutional disputes but also have the potential to create new legal norms that can directly influence the legislative process and even change the structure of national law. Such outcomes raise the question of how to maintain a balance between judicial activism and legislative supremacy. Therefore, it is crucial to establish clear legal boundaries to ensure the Court remains within the constitutional framework, upholds the principle of checks and balances, and prevents conflicts of authority between branches of state power. Therefore, this research contributes to the academic understanding of the dynamics of the Constitutional Court's authority and the urgency of strengthening the rules of the game in maintaining harmony in the Indonesian state system.

The practice of surrogacy in Indonesia is growing despite the absence of clear legal regulations, creating uncertainty in the protection of surrogates, children, and those who use surrogacy services. Although several countries have regulations governing this practice, Indonesia still faces a legal vacuum that leaves many parties vulnerable to exploitation. This study aims to analyze aspects of legal protection, reproductive rights, children's interests, and women's dignity in the context of surrogacy in Indonesia, with the aim of formulating a more adaptive and equitable regulatory framework. The method used in this study is a normative juridical approach, with analysis using AMOS-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) of relevant legal documents and existing scientific literature. This research involves an analysis of existing regulations, cases related to surrogacy, and the opinions of legal experts and the public. The results show significant differences in legal protection between surrogates and children involved in surrogacy practices. Furthermore, there is uncertainty regarding the status of children born through surrogacy practices, which impacts their rights, particularly in terms of legal recognition and access to their human rights. This study also emphasizes that protecting women's reproductive rights and maintaining their dignity must be an integral part of surrogacy regulations. Clear and comprehensive regulations have been shown to improve protection for surrogates, children, and other related parties, as well as prevent potential exploitation. The implications of this study are the importance of establishing legislation specifically governing surrogacy practices in Indonesia, where such policies must focus on justice, child rights protection, and gender equality.

This research explores the legal protection of domestic doctors in Indonesia in response to the increasing utilization of foreign doctors (FDs) within the framework of knowledge transfer aimed at improving healthcare services. With the enactment of Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health, the Indonesian government provides space for foreign doctors to practice with simplified licensing procedures, raising legal concerns regarding legal certainty, professional equality, and the rights of patients to clear and honest communication. This study uses normative juridical methods with statutory and conceptual approaches to analyze the legal framework surrounding this issue. The findings show that the implementation of simplified requirements for foreign doctors potentially threatens the professional standing of local doctors and risks violating patient rights. Recommendations include strengthening legal instruments and monitoring mechanisms to ensure that knowledge transfer objectives are met without compromising legal protection and healthcare quality. The legal framework provided by Law No. 17 of 2023 allows foreign doctors to practice with more straightforward licensing processes, but it raises concerns regarding the adequacy of regulatory oversight. Local doctors fear that the simplified procedures for foreign doctors may not guarantee the same level of competency, accountability, and ethical standards. Furthermore, the presence of foreign doctors could lead to a disparity in professional treatment and recognition, undermining the integrity of the medical profession in Indonesia. This study explores how these legal issues intersect with the broader goals of patient protection, ensuring that all medical practitioners, regardless of nationality, adhere to the highest standards of care and ethical conduct. The role of patient rights in this context is critical, as patients must receive clear and honest communication about the qualifications of the doctors treating them, ensuring their right to informed consent is upheld.

This study discusses the implementation of consumer law in the context of gold investment through PT X's digital application and the consumer protection guarantee mechanisms presented in the system. The research method used is normative juridical, namely a method that emphasizes the study of applicable positive legal norms, legal doctrine, and the application of relevant legal principles. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of consumer law in digital-based gold investment has been carried out in accordance with contractual principles as stipulated in civil law and in line with the provisions of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. In practice, gold investment transactions through the X application are carried out with a mixed agreement containing elements of sale and purchase, deposit, and pawn. This is an important basis because the legal relationship between consumers and companies is not only a single transaction, but a combination that requires guaranteed protection of consumer rights. The legal basis for this mechanism is reflected in the X Digital Application Operational Guidelines Number 28 of 2024, which detailed administrative procedures, application usage requirements, and the implementation of consumer protection principles as stipulated in Articles 4, 7, 18, and 45 of the Consumer Protection Law. Thus, the implemented system not only emphasizes commercial aspects but also ensures a balance between the rights and obligations of consumers and businesses. This study highlights how digital transformation in financial services requires a robust legal framework to protect consumers from potential risks. Therefore, internal company regulations and guidelines play a strategic role in ensuring fairness and providing a sense of security for people investing in gold through digital applications.  

The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme with guarantees from PT PII aims to accelerate infrastructure development through private participation, but faces legal and practical challenges, particularly related to the risk of default by the Government and Construction Service Provider (GCA) and the effectiveness of the implementation of recourse rights by PT PII towards government institutions. This study uses a normative juridical method with an analytical descriptive approach through a literature study of primary and secondary legal materials, as well as a qualitative analysis of legal documents, to understand in depth the application of recourse rights to GCA in the PPP mechanism. The application of recourse rights by PT PII as a PPP project guarantor is based on a special legal framework and complex contractual agreements to protect investors from the risk of default by the GCA. However, its implementation has the potential to face legal, political, bureaucratic, and fiscal challenges that can affect the effectiveness of protection and the fiscal sustainability of PT PII. PT PII's recourse rights in the PPP scheme are an adaptation of the borgtocht concept applied lex specialis through the PPP agreement, guarantees, and recourse to protect state finances. However, its implementation faces bureaucratic, budgetary, and fiscal constraints that can hamper its effectiveness. Therefore, binding guidelines and increased institutional capacity are needed to ensure that regress rights can be exercised effectively, accountably, and in accordance with the principles of transparency and accountability. This study concludes that to increase the effectiveness of the PPP scheme, improvements in the legal framework, inter-agency coordination, and strengthening the capacity of institutions involved in implementing regress rights are needed.

The rapid growth of e-commerce in Indonesia has led to significant changes in the way food products are sold, particularly imported foods. While the convenience of online shopping offers great benefits to both consumers and businesses, it has also uncovered several regulatory challenges, especially concerning the labeling of imported food products. A critical issue is the non-compliance with the Indonesian language labeling requirements for these products, which puts consumers at a disadvantage. Such practices not only violate existing consumer protection laws but also pose risks to public health, as consumers may not fully understand the contents or risks associated with foreign food products due to language barriers. This study highlights the need for a more robust framework to enforce labeling laws, focusing on the responsibility of e-commerce platforms. Platforms play a crucial role in bridging the gap between sellers, manufacturers, and consumers. By implementing stricter oversight and monitoring mechanisms, e-commerce platforms could ensure that sellers comply with legal labeling requirements. Furthermore, platforms can act as intermediaries to facilitate consumer complaints and provide dispute resolution services in cases of non-compliance. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of consumer education. Many consumers are unaware of their rights and the standards they should expect from food products sold online. Thus, there is a need for awareness campaigns and easy access to information on consumer rights, particularly in the context of e-commerce. Strengthening the enforcement of these regulations, providing training for business actors, and improving public awareness will help ensure that imported food products are sold in a transparent, legally compliant manner.

Within the decentralization framework, the government sets the Regency/City Minimum Wage (UMK) as the wage standard. However, in 2021, the Governor of the Riau Islands Province established a UMK that did not comply with Ministry of Manpower regulations. This decision adversely affected workers, particularly members of labor unions, as well as the entire workforce in Batam City. The research addresses two key issues: first, the legal consequences of a regional head’s policy in determining the minimum wage; second, the form of legal protection for workers against a UMK that contradicts ministerial regulations. The study applies a normative juridical method. Findings indicate, under Article 82 of the Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement Act (UU PPHI), that a state administrative decision violating statutory provisions may be: (1) declared null (nietig/absolute nietig), (2) null and void by law (nietigheid van rechtswege), or (3) annulled (verniegbaar). The Tanjungpinang Administrative Court Decision No. 1/G/2021/PTUN.TPI declared that Governor’s Decree No. 1362 of 2020 on Batam UMK contained substantial defects and was annulled. Legal protection for workers is provided through dispute settlement procedures at the Administrative Court and/or administrative remedies as stipulated by applicable regulations.
