This normative legal study examines the potential and challenges of implementing restorative justice approaches in cases involving corporate perpetrators within Indonesia's criminal justice system. The research employs statute, conceptual, and case approaches to analyze legal principles, norms, and court decisions related to corporate criminal liability and restorative justice mechanisms. Through comprehensive literature review of international academic databases and examination of Indonesia's legal framework, including the New Criminal Code of 2023 and Prosecutor's Regulation No. 15 of 2020, the study reveals that restorative justice offers a transformative alternative to traditional retributive models by prioritizing restoration, rehabilitation, and reconciliation between corporate offenders, victims, and affected communities. The dual track system selective model emerges as the most appropriate framework for corporate restorative justice implementation, enabling selective application while maintaining prosecutorial discretion for serious offenses. However, significant challenges persist, including the absence of specific regulatory frameworks for corporate actors, structural complexities arising from the non-personified nature of corporate entities, and profound power imbalances between corporations and victims that threaten process integrity. The study demonstrates that successful implementation requires comprehensive legal reforms, enhanced institutional capacity, robust victim support mechanisms, and safeguards against corporate manipulation. The research concludes that while restorative justice holds considerable promise for enhancing corporate accountability and victim restoration, effective implementation is contingent upon establishing clear legal frameworks, technical guidelines, and protective measures that address inherent power asymmetries between corporate offenders and their victims.

The phenomenon of money laundering crimes committed by corporations shows an increasingly complex and organized trend. Law enforcement against corporate offenders often faces obstacles in terms of regulations and weaknesses of the criminal justice system. In this context, the consistency of law enforcement becomes crucial to ensure legal certainty and justice. This research aims to examine the consistency of corporate criminal law enforcement in money laundering cases and identify relevant challenges and solutions. The research method used is normative juridical with statutory approaches and case studies. The results of the study show that although there is an adequate legal umbrella, implementation in the field is still inconsistent, both in terms of proving corporate guilt and in imposing sanctions. It is necessary to harmonize regulations and increase the capacity of law enforcers to realize an effective corporate criminal law system in tackling money laundering crimes.

The advancement of digital technology has made cyberspace a new arena for international conflict. The Lazarus Group, a hacking group allegedly affiliated with the North Korean government, has come to global attention for its involvement in numerous large-scale cyberattacks targeting financial institutions, global corporations, and public infrastructure. This study aims to analyze the group's operational patterns, strategic motives, and its implications for global cybersecurity. Using a qualitative approach and document analysis, the study investigates how Lazarus represents North Korea's strategy to counter international isolation and gain economic advantage. The results show that the international community's response to state actor threats in cyberspace is fragmented and ineffective. Therefore, a stronger and more coordinated multilateral framework is needed to respond to cyber threats from state actors.

In the industrial world, especially energy companies are very vulnerable to increasing carbon emissions. Based on the graph managed by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, it shows that the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute most are the forestry and energy sectors. So that in 2021 Indonesia has officially adopted a carbon tax policy by issuing Law no. 7 of 2021. The purpose of this study is to test and analyze the significant effect of Green innovation, Environmental, Social and Governance Disclosure and financial performance on the Value of corporations with carbon tax as a moderating variable and applying carbon performance as an intervening variable. The method in this study is to take samples by purposive sampling in the form of secondary data, namely financial statements and sustainability reports in 2021 to 2024 on the Indonesian stock exchange, with a sample of 27 companies. To determine the significance of results between variables, researchers use SEM-PLS 3 software. The results of this study are that financial performance has a positive and significant relationship to carbon performance with a t-statistic value of 3.497> 1.96, namely that increasing financial performance can affect carbon performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. for the next variable, carbon performance has a positive and significant relationship to company value by showing a t-statistic value of 2.596> 1.96 with the assumption that increasing carbon performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions will increase the company's value and be trusted by investors and the public. And the last is that financial performance has a negative and significant relationship to company value with carbon performance as an intervening variable, this shows a t-statistic value of 1.994> 1.96, with increasing financial performance can affect carbon performance so that greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced and the company's value increases.

The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict has provoked widespread global reactions, particularly in the form of economic resistance through consumer boycotts. These boycotts target Israeli-affiliated brands and multinational corporations perceived to be complicit in the occupation and oppression of Palestinians. The core issue lies in the ethical concerns of corporate involvement in human rights violations and the extent to which consumers can influence political dynamics through economic actions. This study aims to explore the global boycott movement as a form of nonviolent resistance, with a specific focus on the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign. Utilizing a library research methodology, this paper draws upon academic literature, news reports, campaign materials, and corporate statements to analyze the motivations, strategies, and impacts of boycott actions worldwide. It investigates how consumer behavior intersects with political activism, and how the digital age amplifies such movements. The research finds that boycotts serve not only as an expression of solidarity with oppressed populations but also as a tool to pressure companies and governments to reevaluate their stances and affiliations. Although the economic impact varies, the symbolic power of collective consumer action contributes significantly to shaping public discourse on global justice. This study highlights the growing importance of ethical consumerism in international relations and recommends further investigation into the legal, economic, and diplomatic consequences of sustained boycott movements.

This study aims to examine the extent to which the identification doctrine is applied in establishing corporate criminal liability for acts of corruption. The increasing number of corruption cases involving corporate entities poses a challenge for the criminal justice system in attributing legal fault to legal persons that lack independent intent or will. The objective of this research is to analyze how the identification doctrine is utilized to bridge this issue and to assess its effectiveness and fairness in judicial practice. This study employs a normative legal approach using qualitative methods through the analysis of statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and court decisions. The findings indicate that although the identification doctrine provides a logical foundation for prosecuting corporations through the actions of their directors or executives, its application still faces challenges in distinguishing between individual actions taken personally and those undertaken on behalf of the corporation. This ambiguity may result in legal uncertainty and injustice in the enforcement of criminal sanctions. Therefore, clear and firm criteria are necessary in determining corporate criminal liability to support a more just and accountable legal system.

Economic crises and geopolitical tensions have been major factors affecting global market stability and posing major challenges for multinational corporations. This research aims to identify and analyze the global marketing strategies implemented by companies in dealing with these uncertain conditions. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review, this study found that commonly used strategies include market adaptation, risk diversification, and digital transformation. Market adaptation is carried out through product adjustments, prices, promotions, and distribution to be relevant to local conditions. Risk diversification is implemented by moving supply chains to more stable regions. Meanwhile, digital transformation is used to strengthen interactions with consumers and increase responsiveness to market changes. These findings show that a resilient marketing strategy focuses not only on growth, but also on resilience, flexibility, and sustainable innovation. By understanding the complexity of the global market, companies can design strategies that are able to maintain business competitiveness and sustainability in the midst of a crisis.

The acceleration of globalization and advances in information technology have brought about significant changes in the economic field. In this context, collaboration between individuals is a key element in forming business groups that aim to achieve economic benefits. These business groups can take the form of informal businesses that do not yet have legality, as well as legal entities known as corporations. When individuals join a corporation, this also strengthens the corporation's position as a legal subject in economic activities. A legal subject (subject tumjuris) is an entity that can have and exercise rights and obligations. This situation can trigger abuse of power by corporations against the public interest, which is then known as corporate crime. Such crimes are usually committed for the sake of the company's business interests and fall into the category of white collar. crime. One form of corporate crime that is rampant is the violation of the economic rights of creators and copyright owners

This article analyzes the juridical construction, practical implementation, and problematics of corporate criminal liability in corruption cases in Indonesia. Employing a normative-juridical approach with analytical-evaluative dimensions, this research examines primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, as well as data from in-depth interviews with key informants. The results indicate that despite the legal framework accommodating the concept of corporations as subjects of criminal law in corruption cases, its implementation faces significant obstacles reflected in the minimal designation of corporations as suspects/defendants. These obstacles encompass substantive aspects related to unclear formulation of liability elements, procedural aspects concerning limitations in procedural law, institutional aspects regarding law enforcement capacity, and practical aspects related to sanctions execution. This research proposes a comprehensive and integrative model for strengthening corporate criminal liability through normative reformulation, procedural and institutional strengthening, and development of corporate compliance incentives, projected to contribute to improving the effectiveness of corporate corruption enforcement and strengthening business integrity systems in Indonesia.

The role of corporations dominates everyday life, let alone increased privatization. It is no longer the country that provides the needs, but the corporation. Corporations can increase state and labor wealth, but the revolution of economic and political structures has grown large corporate corporations too dependent on corporations so that countries can be dictated to their interests.

For some organizations, this activity offers many benefits. Because the buying and selling procedure is more effective and realistic. Nowadays, it is possible to search and buy almost anything online without physically meeting the seller. In the modern era, many micro businesses benefit from digitalization, so online buying and selling is not only for corporations or large-scale production. Through digital transformation, digital strategy, and digital capability development, MSMEs, or micro, small, and medium enterprises can now increase their competitiveness in the local market by implementing digital management strategies. While digital tactics can increase customer awareness and loyalty, digital transformation can help MSMEs improve their operational efficacy and efficiency. Through the adoption of digital technology and improving the skills of human resources, MSMEs can also become more competitive through the development of digital capabilities. It is not impossible for MSMEs to grow rapidly and generate significant income with the help of digitalization and a good management plan.

The leakage of consumers' personal data by irresponsible corporations has become a serious issue in the digital era, particularly in the context of data protection in Indonesia. This paper analyzes corporate criminal liability for such data breaches from the perspective of Indonesian cybercriminal law. The study adopts a normative legal approach through literature review of relevant legislation, legal doctrines, and court decisions. The findings indicate that corporations may be held criminally liable if proven negligent or if they fail to fulfill their data protection obligations under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law). Although a legal framework already exists, proving the elements of fault and direct involvement of corporate executives remains a significant challenge. Therefore, there is an urgent need for strengthened technical regulations and stricter law enforcement to ensure the protection of consumer rights in the digital sphere.

The development of society and the increasing complexity of legal relations necessitate the reform of the national criminal law system. This research is motivated by the need to examine the relevance and responsiveness of provisions governing the criminal act of embezzlement in the 1946 Indonesian Criminal Code (Old KUHP) and the 2023 Indonesian Criminal Code (New KUHP). The aim of this study is to analyze the substantive similarities and differences between the two codifications of criminal law, and to assess the extent to which the New KUHP addresses the challenges of modern legal systems. This study employs a normative juridical method using a comparative approach to relevant legislation. The findings reveal that, while both codes share fundamental elements of embezzlement and similar sentencing structures, the 2023 KUHP adopts a more progressive approach. Key reforms include the expansion of legal subjects to include corporations, the adjustment of value thresholds for minor embezzlement, the implementation of more flexible sanctions such as fines, and the strengthening of restorative justice principles. The implications of these findings indicate that the 2023 KUHP is more adaptive to socio-economic dynamics and the needs of a modern criminal justice system. Accordingly, the New KUHP offers a more relevant and contextual legal framework, particularly in addressing embezzlement offenses.

The case of Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) of PT Sentul City Tbk is one example of the complexity of dispute resolution between corporations and creditors. The PKPU application was filed by PT Prakasaguna Ciptapratama on January 7, 2021 at the Central Jakarta Commercial Court on the grounds that there was a debt due that had not been paid. Although the peace plan had been approved by the majority of creditors and ratified by the court on March 15, 2021, some consumers who felt aggrieved filed for a Judicial .Review (PK). They based their lawsuit on the postponement of the signing of the Deed of Sale and Purchase (AJB) which had lasted for more than 15 years. This study aims to analyze the legal aspects, financial implications, and social impacts of this case, including an evaluation of the PKPU mechanism in resolving debt disputes in Indonesia.

Corporate crime in the environmental sector is one of the biggest challenges in law enforcement in Indonesia. Companies that pollute or destroy the environment are often difficult to hold criminally liable due to the impersonal nature of their legal entities. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement against corporations that commit environmental crimes and the obstacles faced by law enforcement officials in proving and imposing crimes against corporations. The method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach and case studies. This research found that although there is already a fairly strong legal framework, such as in Law No. 32 of 2009 and the new Criminal Code, implementation in the field is still weak. Some of the inhibiting factors include the difficulty of proving the responsibility structure in the corporation, the lack of investigator capacity, and the influence of economic power from corporations. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, apparatus capacity, and corporate criminal accountability mechanisms that are more adaptive and firm.

The purpose of this study is to examine the sociological conditions of the HGU conflict, and to analyze the need for the establishment of an Agrarian Court from a legal and social aspect. The method used in this study is the Sociolegal method, which combines law with social reality. Primary data was taken from interviews with farmers, residents affected by HGU, BPN officials, Secondary data was obtained from laws and regulations, court decisions, NGO reports, land documents. Mesuji Regency is an area in Lampung Province which is known as one of the chronic agrarian conflict areas in Indonesia, especially those involving the Right to Cultivate (HGU) by large plantation companies including PT Barat Selatan Makmur Investindo (BSMI) and PT Silva Inhutani. This conflict involves local communities and companies holding HGU. The root of the problem is the community's claim to customary land, cultivated land, or inherited land. Allegations of HGU expansion that exceed the permit limit. The conclusion of this study is that the resolution process is often ineffective, unfair, and slow. HGU conflicts are generally structural in nature, because they involve inequality between local communities and large corporations that receive legal legitimacy through the granting of HGU. The establishment of an Agrarian Court has the potential to be a more just, effective, and contextual solution to resolving plantation HGU conflicts.

International business contracts are the main tool in global trade activities. However, the complexity of laws between countries gives rise to various legal risks that can be detrimental to corporations. In practice, differences in national legal systems, inappropriate choice of law, jurisdictional uncertainty, and differences in interpretation of contract clauses are often the main causes of disputes. Legal risks can also arise due to non-compliance with local laws, changes in government policies, and force majeure conditions that are not adequately anticipated in contracts. This study aims to analyze the types of legal risks in international business contracts and mitigation strategies that can be applied by corporations. This study uses a normative legal approach method with data collection techniques through literature studies of international regulations, doctrines, and practices. The results of the study indicate that differences in legal systems, jurisdictional uncertainty, and force majeure and arbitration clauses are crucial issues that must be anticipated strategically. The application of the principle of prudence in drafting contracts and the selection of appropriate laws and dispute resolution forums are the keys to the success of legal risk mitigation.    

The palm oil industry is a strategic sector that significantly contributes to Indonesia's economy through crude palm oil (CPO) exports. However, it is also prone to corruption practices, as revealed in the bribery case involving a judge in the handling of a CPO export trial. This scandal highlights corporate involvement in influencing court decisions for business interests and the weak law enforcement against corporations as the main perpetrators of criminal acts. This paper aims to analyze the chronology and modus operandi of the bribery, identify factors behind the weak corporate criminal liability enforcement, and formulate recommendations to strengthen the legal system to prevent similar cases in the future. The research method used is normative juridical with statutory and case approaches. The data is analyzed qualitatively to assess the effectiveness of regulations and the obstacles in implementing corporate criminal liability. This study is expected to contribute to reforming a fairer and more accountable legal system in strategic economic sectors.    

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.
