This research examines in-depth legal protection against cybercrime in Indonesia, with a specific focus on ransomware attacks. It also evaluates the 2025 Draft Cyber Security and Resilience Law (RUU KKS) as a measure to strengthen the national cyber defense system. The increase in ransomware cases targeting personal data, public institutions, and vital infrastructure has posed a serious threat to information security and national stability. Although the 2008 Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the 2022 Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) serve as the legal basis, these two regulations do not yet specifically and comprehensively regulate ransomware. This results in challenges in law enforcement and victim protection, both in technical aspects, coordination, and human rights protection. The research method used is normative legal with a qualitative approach, which includes analysis of primary and secondary legal materials, as well as comparisons with regulations in several countries that have more mature ransomware handling mechanisms. The analysis of the 2025 Cyber Security Bill (RUU KKS) indicates that this draft regulation has the potential to strengthen the authority of cyber authorities, mandate reporting of cyber incidents, and impose stricter sanctions on perpetrators. However, implementing this policy requires effective cross-agency coordination, transparent oversight, and synergy between the public and private sectors. This study concludes that the 2025 Cyber Security Bill (RUU KKS) represents a strategic step in building a national cybersecurity system that is adaptive, integrated, and responsive to evolving cyber threats. However, its success will depend heavily on improving public digital security literacy, multi-sectoral collaboration, investment in detection and prevention technology, and guaranteeing human rights protection. These findings are expected to provide input for policymakers in formulating comprehensive and sustainable cybersecurity regulations as a bulwark of national defense in the digital era.

The war between India and Pakistan has had a devastating impact on the economies of both the countries directly involved and those indirectly affected. The economic impacts of this armed conflict include significant infrastructure damage, reduced production capacity, soaring inflation, rising unemployment, and reduced investment flows. This geopolitical instability has also fueled uncertainty in global financial markets, triggering a "flight to safety" phenomenon, a shift in capital and investment to countries or instruments perceived as safer, such as US government bonds or gold. For Indonesia, this situation has the potential to significantly disrupt national economic stability. One impact is a reduction in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, as investors tend to hold back or relocate their investments to more geopolitically stable countries. Furthermore, pressure on the rupiah exchange rate could increase due to global financial market volatility and a decline in international investor confidence. The conflict could also hamper Indonesia's export traffic, particularly to countries with close trade ties with India and Pakistan. Furthermore, these tensions could disrupt global supply chains, particularly for energy and food commodities, many of which pass through strategic trade routes. If the conflict drags on, the price of crude oil and other raw materials could potentially rise sharply, which in turn would increase domestic production costs. This would have a direct impact on inflation and public purchasing power. This situation further complicates the management of Indonesia's monetary and fiscal policies, which currently face significant challenges, such as the imminent maturities of large government debt and a still-widening state budget deficit. The government must take strategic steps to maintain domestic economic stability, strengthen foreign exchange reserves, and encourage export market diversification to reduce over-reliance on conflict-prone countries.

Money laundering is a serious crime that has a significant impact on economic and social stability, as well as the integrity of the financial system. This crime is often associated with serious crimes such as corruption, narcotics, and terrorism. Money laundering poses a major threat to national security, conceals the origin of illicit funds, and undermines a healthy economic system. To combat this crime, Indonesia has imposed criminal sanctions based on Law Number 8 of 2010, which aims to provide a deterrent effect on perpetrators and prevent similar crimes from occurring in the future. However, the effectiveness of these criminal sanctions remains a critical challenge, given the various difficulties in their enforcement, such as the complexity of tracking the flow of funds, limited law enforcement resources, and the increasingly sophisticated modus operandi of perpetrators who often work together with international networks. This study seeks to examine the effectiveness of criminal sanctions in combating money laundering and identify obstacles in their implementation. The research method used is juridical-normative research with a legal regulatory framework. Primary data was obtained through literature review and examination of legal documents, while secondary data came from relevant literature, reports, and academic studies. The urgency of this research stems from the importance of evaluating and strengthening the application of criminal sanctions to protect the national financial system from the risk of money laundering. Without concrete steps to increase the effectiveness of sanctions, money laundering crimes will continue to proliferate and pose a threat to the national economy, weaken the legal system, and erode public trust in efforts to combat economic crime.

The potential war between India and Pakistan poses significant risks to the Indonesian economy, as it is expected to exacerbate uncertainty in the global financial market. Such geopolitical tensions often trigger a ‘flight to safety,’ where capital flows shift to countries considered stable, leading to reduced foreign direct investment (FDI) in emerging markets like Indonesia. This scenario is likely to place additional pressure on Indonesia’s exchange rate, further destabilizing its financial position. One of the key impacts of the looming India-Pakistan war on Indonesia is its effect on monetary and fiscal management. The Indonesian government is already facing significant challenges, including managing a large amount of maturing debt and grappling with a growing budget deficit. The war would complicate these efforts, making it more difficult for the government to stabilize the economy and implement effective policies. Indonesia’s export sector will also be affected, as India and Pakistan are two of the country’s main trading partners, especially for key commodities like crude palm oil (CPO) and coal. India is Indonesia’s 4th largest export destination, accounting for approximately 9% of total exports, while Pakistan represents around 1.9%. Any disruption in trade with these countries, due to the war or political instability, could significantly hurt Indonesia’s export revenues and negatively affect industries reliant on these markets. Moreover, Indonesia is already facing challenges from the United States, which has imposed reciprocal tariffs worth 32% on Indonesian products. This trade tension, combined with the geopolitical instability from the India-Pakistan conflict, will add further strain to Indonesia’s trade balance. The combination of these factors could lead to slower economic growth, reduced investor confidence, and potentially higher inflation, as the country faces multiple external and internal economic pressures.

The North Natuna Sea is an area of strategic importance to Indonesia, both in terms of national security and economy. Legally, this area is part of Indonesia’s Exclusive Zone (EEZ), but China’s unilateral claim to most of this area through the nine-dash line has created tension in the region. Indonesia faces a major challenge to safeguard the sovereignity of this region by using various strategies, one of which is defense diplomacy. This article aims to explore how Indonesia utilizes defense diplomacy in maintaining stability in the Natuna Sea, as well as to analyze the challenges faced and the effectiveness of this approach. The results show that Indonesia’s defense diplomacy can maintain stability, but is still plagued by a number of challenges, including limited resources and the influence of major powers such as China.

The implementation of tax law has a crucial position in improving tax compliance and maintaining the stability of state finances. In Indonesia, although there is an adequate legal basis, the implementation of tax law still faces a number of problems such as violations of supervision, inefficient sanctions, and low understanding of taxation. This study aims to analyze ideas for the implementation of tax law, identify taxpayer conditions, and disseminate the effectiveness of law implementation in order to build a fair and sustainable taxation system. The method used is a literature review with a juridical-normative approach. The results of the study show that the success of law implementation is greatly influenced by regulations, human resources, information technology, and political commitment and cooperation between institutions. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed in the form of regulatory reform, digitalization of supervision, improving the quality of human resources, and public education so that tax compliance can increase significantly and sustainably.

White-collar crime poses significant threats to corporate integrity and economic stability, particularly in emerging markets where governance structures may be less developed. This study examines the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanisms in preventing white-collar crime in emerging market contexts. Using a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis of 240 publicly listed companies across five emerging markets and qualitative case study analysis of 25 corporate fraud cases, this research evaluates the relationship between governance mechanisms and crime prevention effectiveness. The study reveals that strong board independence (β = -0.312, p < 0.001), robust internal audit functions (β = -0.267, p < 0.01), and comprehensive compliance programs (β = -0.298, p < 0.001) significantly reduce white-collar crime incidence. Companies with comprehensive governance frameworks show 58% lower fraud rates compared to those with weak governance structures. The research concludes that emerging markets can significantly reduce white-collar crime through strategic implementation of governance mechanisms, particularly emphasizing board independence, internal controls strengthening, and compliance culture development.

Corruption is an extraordinary crime with systemic impacts on a nation’s political, economic, and social stability. Various countries adopt different penal approaches to combat corruption, including Indonesia and China. This study aims to analyze and compare the effectiveness of criminal penalties in addressing corruption in both countries. The research uses a normative-juridical and comparative approach by examining legislation, empirical data, and relevant case studies. In Indonesia, the implementation of criminal sanctions tends to be more moderate, with imprisonment and fines being the dominant forms of punishment. However, enforcement faces challenges such as weak institutional independence and political interference. In contrast, China enforces much harsher penalties, including life imprisonment and the death penalty, as part of its "zero tolerance" anti-corruption policy supported by centralized political power. The findings show that although China’s repressive approach appears more stringent, the success in curbing corruption is not solely determined by the severity of the punishment. Instead, it also depends on the consistency, transparency, and integrity of the legal enforcement system. This study recommends that Indonesia reform its criminal policy to be firmer while still upholding principles of human rights and justice.

E-Puskesmas is a solution to problems caused by manual systems. It was created to streamline the method of reporting data to the Health Office and digitize the process of providing health services to the community at the Puskesmas. In addition, the online reporting system facilitates the dissemination of information effectively and efficiently. This study aims to determine the impact of using E-Puskesmas in improving the effectiveness of health services at the Pancur Community Health Center in Tanjungpinang City. The research method used is descriptive research with a qualitative approach conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of E-Puskesmas has brought significant improvements in managing patient data, appointment scheduling, and reporting processes to the Health Office. Health workers find the system beneficial for storing accurate data, reducing paperwork, and enabling faster coordination with other health facilities. However, the use of the system is still hampered by unstable or slow internet or Wi-Fi networks, which often delay data input and retrieval during busy operational hours. This issue not only reduces efficiency but also causes frustration among staff who rely on the system for daily activities. The conclusion of this study highlights that the use of E-Puskesmas is effective in supporting digital health services but remains suboptimal due to technical challenges. Improving internet connectivity is critical to ensuring seamless operation and maximizing the benefits of the system. The study recommends that the local government and relevant stakeholders enhance the quality of network infrastructure and provide regular technical support and training for Puskesmas staff. By addressing these challenges, the Pancur Community Health Center can improve the stability of its operations and ensure that the E-Puskesmas application delivers optimal results in supporting high-quality, efficient, and technology-driven health services for the community.

This study examines the transfer of custody (hadhanah) rights of a non-mumayyiz child to the father, as decided in Judicial Decision No. 1882/Pdt.G/2019/PA.Mdn by the Medan Religious Court. According to Article 105 letter (a) of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), the custody of a child under the age of 12 (non-mumayyiz) is generally granted to the mother. However, in this case, the court ruled otherwise. The focus of this research is to analyze the legal reasoning and judicial considerations behind this deviation from normative provisions. This is a normative legalresearch employing a juridical and conceptual approach. Primary data include statutory provisions and the official court ruling, while secondary data are derived from classical Islamic jurisprudence, modern legal commentaries, and related literature. The analysis uses descriptive-analytical methods to examine the legal basis, fiqh arguments, and the principle of maslahah al-mahdhun (best interests of the child). The findings indicate that the court transferred custody to the father on the grounds that the mother had remarried and was experiencing psychological instability, which could endanger the child’s well-being. The decision was based on Article 156 letter (c) of the KHI, which allows custody to be transferred if the mother fails to guarantee the child’s physical and mental safety. The judge also considered the father's financial capability, emotional stability, and supportive environment as decisive factors in ensuring the child's best interests. This research concludes that child custody in Islamic law is flexible and adaptive, prioritizing the child’s welfare over formal legal entitlements. It also highlights the role of religious court jurisprudence in aligning Islamic legal norms with contemporary social realities.

The selection of the head of government is a fundamental aspect of the constitutional system that reflects the political and legal character of a state. Although Indonesia and Malaysia share similar historical roots, they adopt significantly different systems of governance. This study addresses two core issues which are about the structure and mechanism of executive and legislative power, and the impact of the presidential threshold and parliamentary coalition on governmental stability. Using a normative juridical method with statutory and comparative approaches, the findings reveal that Indonesia, under a presidential system, applies a nomination threshold to ensure political stability, yet it may restrict political access. Meanwhile, Malaysia’s parliamentary system is more flexible but vulnerable to instability due to coalition dynamics. This study recommends a reassessment of Indonesia’s presidential threshold for a more democratic process and strengthening of political stability mechanisms in Malaysia.

The South China Sea (SCS) conflict is one of the most complex geopolitical disputes in the Southeast Asian region, involving not only claimant countries such as China, the Philippines, and Vietnam, but also impacting non-claimant countries such as Indonesia. Although Indonesia is not officially involved in the territorial claim dispute in the SCS, its geographical position close to the disputed area, especially around the Natuna Islands, places Indonesia in a strategic and vulnerable position. This journal discusses in depth Indonesia's position in the SCS conflict, highlighting how Indonesia maintains its territorial sovereignty without being directly involved in the conflict. In addition, the direct impact of the conflict on Indonesia's maritime security is also discussed, including increasing territorial violations, threats to local fishermen, and challenges in monitoring territorial waters. The conflict in the SCS also has an impact on regional stability and Indonesia's maritime economy, especially in the context of ASEAN cooperation and the world's maritime axis policy. Finally, this journal reviews various efforts made by Indonesia in maintaining its maritime security, such as strengthening diplomacy, modernizing defense equipment, and developing an integrated maritime policy. Through a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis, this journal aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of the SCS conflict and its implications for Indonesia's maritime security.

This study aims to systematically review the application of sensitivity analysis in operational decision-making based on linear programming. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), analyzing scientific articles published between 2018 and 2024 from databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. The review focuses on how sensitivity analysis is employed to evaluate the stability of linear programming solutions in the face of parameter changes, such as objective function coefficients, constraint bounds, and resource availability. The results indicate that local sensitivity analysis approaches are the most commonly used due to their simplicity and ease of interpretation. However, they fall short in capturing parameter interactions and complex uncertainty. Therefore, recent studies have started to explore global sensitivity methods, such as Morris and Sobol techniques, as well as geometric visualization approaches to provide a more holistic understanding. This study recommends integrating both local and global approaches and utilizing computational tools to enhance the robustness of operational decisions. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for more adaptive, efficient, and resilient decision-making under uncertainty.

Maritime conflicts in Southeast Asia place regional stability at great challenge, especially due to the importance of these waters as international transport routes. Claims for overlapping maritime areas, illegal activities such as trespassing and unregulated copyright fishing, in particular increased geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea, have created a complex maritime security environment. These disputes not only affect state jurisdictional and maritime sovereignty, but also affect regional economic activities, including trade and marine tourism. This study uses a qualitative approach in literature research to examine the effects of these various topics on maritime stability and efforts to address legal channels and diplomatic conflicts. Using conflict theory, this study highlights the importance of regional co-operation, adherence to the International Sea Council, and the importance of adaptive security strategies as a step in mitigation. It also focuses on the relationship with maritime security with other important sectors such as logistics, energy and tourism, highlighting the need for collective action between countries in Southeast Asia.

International trade disputes are one of the main challenges in global economic relations. The role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a multilateral institution is crucial in providing a fair and efficient dispute settlement mechanism. This article discusses the process of resolving international trade disputes through the WTO, as well as its role and contribution in maintaining stability and fairness in global trade. With a structured dispute settlement mechanism in place, the WTO acts as a guardian of the rules in international trade, preventing larger conflicts and ensuring legal certainty for world trade actors.

This study discusses Indonesia's security diplomacy strategy within the ASEAN framework and its contribution to international security stability. A literature study approach is used to examine the dynamics of Indonesia's diplomacy in regional forums such as the ASEAN Defense Ministers' Meeting (ADMM), ADMM-Plus, and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF). Indonesia, as a country with a strategic geographical and political position, plays an important role in promoting collective security based on cooperation and dialogue. However, the implementation of this diplomacy is faced with various challenges, including great power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific, capability gaps between ASEAN member countries, and the complexity of non-traditional threats such as cybersecurity and transnational terrorism. This study shows that although ASEAN has a regional security mechanism, its effectiveness still depends on the consistent leadership of key countries such as Indonesia in promoting an adaptive, inclusive, and consensus-based approach. The results of the analysis indicate that Indonesia's security diplomacy has the potential to strengthen ASEAN's legitimacy at the international level, as long as it is able to overcome internal limitations and synergize with global interests.

This article examines the prohibition of gambling from the perspective of the Hadith narrated by Bukhari No. 5787 and its relevance to the practice of online gambling in the digital era. The study employs a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods focusing on the analysis of hadith texts and Indonesian positive law, particularly Article 27 Paragraph (2) of Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law). The findings reveal that online gambling has destructive impacts on individual morality, family resilience, and the economic stability of society. Bukhari’s Hadith strictly forbids all forms of gambling, including invitations to gamble, and offers charity as an alternative act of purification. Although Indonesian positive law regulates online gambling prohibition, challenges remain in its effective enforcement. This article highlights the need for a synergistic approach between religious normative values and state law enforcement to address the phenomenon of online gambling comprehensively.

The study adopts an economic-political approach to analyze the role of the state in regulating foreign capital flows, as well as how foreign investment policies can affect economic stability, job creation, and equitable development. Through case studies in the infrastructure and manufacturing sectors, this article identifies the challenges and obstacles in implementing these policies, including political instability, bureaucracy, and regional regulatory differences. The article provides policy recommendations to optimize the benefits of foreign investment without neglecting domestic interests, with a focus on inclusiveness and sustainable development.

Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is the main pillar in maintaining investor trust and capital market stability. In the midst of dynamic capital market developments, the principle of transparency and accountability is a key element in building public trust and ensuring investor protection. Law No. 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies (UUPT) as the main legal framework for regulating corporate entities in Indonesia, has a strategic position in regulating the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GGC) principles, especially in the capital market supported by public companies. This study aims to examine the legal implementation of transparency and accountability obligations in Good Corporate Governance (GCG) as regulated in the UUPT and linked to the obligations of public companies in the capital market. This study applies a normative legal approach with a descriptive analysis method to statutory regulations, legal literature, and literature studies from five journals and five relevant law books. The results of this study indicate that the UUPT has emphasized the responsibility of corporate organs in implementing the principles of openness and accountability. Therefore, stricter supervision and strict enforcement of sanctions are needed so that the principles of Good Corporate Governance are truly implemented in real terms.
