The purpose of this study is to analyze Mohammed Ghaly's thoughts from a theological and legal perspective on disability and its implications for social inclusion. This research uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies with in-depth analysis of primary Islamic sources such as the Qur'an, hadith, and tafsir, kalam, and fiqh literature from various periods. Ghaly seeks to reveal the normative attitude of this religion towards persons with disabilities and its implications for social inclusion. The analysis utilizes contemporary disability studies to examine Ghaly's concepts in Islamic theology and law regarding the inherent nature and fundamental rights of persons with disabilities. However, he also emphasizes the need for new interpretations and contextualizations of this textual heritage based on the values of justice, inclusion, and empowerment. The findings of this study show that there is a stigma associated with disability due to the conflict between Islamic idealism and social reality. Nevertheless, the main principles and laws of Islam provide strong normative guidance for the dignity of persons with disabilities.

Qanun Jinayah Aceh is a form of application of Islamic law in the regional legal system which is based on the principle of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar. This principle aims to uphold moral values ​​and prevent deviant acts in society. However, its implementation cannot be separated from containing the limits of sharia enforcement, protection of human rights, and the realization of social justice. This condition shows the need for a critical study of the application of the principles of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in the Aceh Qanun Jinayah. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principle of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in the Aceh Qanun Jinayah and assess its conformity with the principles of social justice. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory, conceptual, and sociological approach, through a literature study of regulations, Islamic legal literature, and related scientific studies. The results of the study indicate that the principle of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar has become the normative basis for enforcing the Qanun Jinayah, but in practice it still faces challenges in the form of law enforcement that is not fully fair, potential discrimination, and a weak perspective on social justice. Therefore, the implementation of these principles must be proportional, contextual, and oriented toward the public interest. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of integrating the enforcement of Islamic law with the principles of social justice so that the Aceh Qanun Jinayah can be implemented fairly, humanely, and sustainably.

Consular services have become a critical site of state intervention in the governance of international labor migration, particularly for migrant-sending countries such as Indonesia whose citizens depend on overseas missions for administrative protection and access to public services abroad. Despite the growing importance of consular institutions in safeguarding migrant workers’ rights and welfare, existing scholarship remains fragmented, offering limited conceptual integration of how administrative capacity shapes institutional readiness in cross-border public service delivery. Addressing this gap, this article presents a structured narrative–integrative literature review that synthesizes international peer-reviewed studies on administrative capacity, policy capacity, consular services, and migrant worker protection published in the last five years. Drawing on Administrative Capacity Theory as the core framework, complemented by Public Service Theory, Policy Implementation Theory, Street-Level Bureaucracy, and Institutional Theory, the review systematically analyzes how different dimensions of capacity configure institutional readiness in consular services. The findings reveal that institutional readiness emerges from the interaction of four interrelated dimensions: human resource capacity, organizational and procedural capacity, institutional and coordination capacity, and resource and infrastructure capacity. Rather than functioning as isolated determinants, these dimensions collectively shape how consular institutions translate formal mandates into service outcomes under conditions of transnational governance, legal pluralism, and fluctuating demand. The review further demonstrates that frontline discretion, coordination gaps, procedural rigidity, and uneven resource allocation are recurrent patterns across the literature, underscoring the dynamic and practice-based nature of administrative capacity in consular contexts. Theoretically, this article contributes to public administration scholarship by extending administrative capacity frameworks into the underexplored domain of cross-border public services and by integrating previously segmented theoretical perspectives into a coherent conceptual synthesis. By reframing consular services as institutionally embedded public service systems rather than solely diplomatic functions, the article advances understanding of institutional readiness in migrant worker protection and provides a robust analytical foundation for future empirical and comparative research in international public administration.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly recognized as a transformative enabler of early disease detection, with the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, support predictive risk stratification, and advance preventive healthcare. Despite rapid methodological progress, many existing reviews remain performance-centric, offering limited insight into generalizability, ethical governance, and real-world implementation constraints. This paper presents a narrative and integrative review with an adoption-focused, translational perspective, synthesizing recent developments in AI-driven early disease detection across oncology, cardiology, neurology, and infectious disease surveillance. Drawing on peer-reviewed literature published primarily between 2016 and 2025, the review examines reported performance gains alongside persistent limitations related to data heterogeneity, population bias, explainability, and regulatory fragmentation. Through cross-sectional synthesis, we identify three recurring gaps in prior reviews: (i) overgeneralization of AI’s diagnostic superiority, (ii) insufficient consideration of ethical and legal accountability, and (iii) a lack of actionable guidance for scalable clinical implementation. Integrating technical, ethical, and policy dimensions into a unified conceptual framework, this review demonstrates that while AI systems can consistently enhance diagnostic accuracy and early risk stratification in well-defined tasks, sustained clinical adoption depends on aligning technical performance with governance readiness, interpretability, and workflow integration. The analysis further highlights how implementation mechanisms—such as explainable AI, continuous post-deployment monitoring, and clinician-centered deployment strategies—mediate the translation of algorithmic innovation into real-world healthcare impact. Overall, this review provides a critical reference for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers seeking to translate AI innovation into safe, equitable, and trustworthy clinical practice.

This research examines Islamic legal protection for victims of social engineering crimes within the context of cybercrime. Social engineering is a form of digital crime that exploits psychological manipulation and trust to obtain personal data, system access, or financial benefits. Such crimes cause not only material losses but also immaterial harm, including psychological trauma, violations of privacy, dignity, and personal security. However, positive legal frameworks tend to prioritize offender punishment, while victim protection and recovery remain insufficiently addressed. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a normative-juridical research design, complemented by limited empirical insights. Data were collected through library research on Islamic legal sources—namely the Qur’an, Hadith, and fiqh jināyah—alongside statutory regulations on cybercrime and selected interviews with legal scholars and practitioners. The analysis employs a descriptive-analytical method grounded in the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework, particularly the principles of ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of property), ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ (protection of dignity), and ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life and psychological security). The findings demonstrate that Islamic law provides a robust normative foundation for protecting victims of social engineering crimes. Such protection extends beyond retributive punishment through ta‘zīr and emphasizes restorative justice by prioritizing victims’ rights restoration, offender accountability, and public welfare. Islamic law is both adaptive and relevant in addressing contemporary cybercrime challenges and may serve as a humanistic, just, and responsive model for victim protection in the digital era.

This study examines the distortion between civil and criminal perspectives in the legal considerations (ratio decidendi) of Judex Juris in Supreme Court Decision Number 121K/Pid.Sus/2020. The decision lacks substantial criminal law considerations regarding the alleged corruption offense. Instead, the legal reasoning focuses on the fault or negligence of company directors, particularly the exception under Article 97 of Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies, which embodies the Business Judgment Rule doctrine. Furthermore, these considerations are distorted by tort (onrechtmatige daad) as regulated in Article 1365 of the Civil Code juncto Article 138 paragraph (1) letter b of the Company Law. This research employs a legislative approach by analyzing various legal instruments, including the 1945 Constitution, the Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, the Limited Liability Company Law, State-Owned Enterprises Law, Judicial Power Law, Supreme Court Law, and the Corruption Eradication Laws. A conceptual approach is also utilized to examine theoretical concepts concerning corporate crime, directors' liabilities, state losses, tort, negligence from criminal and civil perspectives, business judgment rules, collective collegiality principles, and formal-material classification of legislation. The data comprises primary legal materials (legislation and court decisions) and secondary legal materials (legal literature and scientific journals). Analysis is conducted qualitatively by interpreting legal principles and their relevance to the court's considerations in the decision.

The enforcement of election criminal law plays a crucial role in safeguarding democratic integrity and upholding the principle of popular sovereignty. Law Number 7 of 2017 establishes the Integrated Law Enforcement Center (Sentra Gakkumdu) as a coordinated mechanism involving the Election Supervisory Body, the Police, and the Prosecution Service in addressing election crimes. However, in practice, the Gakkumdu system has not fully ensured a balanced realization of legal certainty, substantive justice, and legal utility. This study aims to analyze the problems of election criminal law enforcement within the Gakkumdu system, examine the relevance of the Restorative Justice approach in election law, and formulate a reconstruction of election criminal law enforcement based on this approach. This research employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, legal philosophy, and legal policy approaches. The findings indicate that the weaknesses in election criminal law enforcement arise from institutional fragmentation, normative ambiguity, and a legal culture dominated by legalistic and sectoral perspectives. The Restorative Justice approach is considered relevant as it prioritizes substantive justice and the restoration of democratic values. Therefore, reconstructing election criminal law enforcement based on Restorative Justice is essential to strengthening democratic legitimacy and public trust in elections in Indonesia.

The increasing rate of divorce in rural areas indicates serious challenges in maintaining family resilience as well as the limited effectiveness of formal litigation-based dispute resolution. Judicial processes that tend to be procedural, time-consuming, and focused on legal termination often fail to address the substantive justice needs of the disputing parties. Consequently, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms that are more responsive to local social and cultural values are required. This study aims to examine the effectiveness and implementation of divorce mediation facilitated by the Village Government of Banra’as, Sumenep Regency, through the perspective of Progressive Legal Theory. This research employs a qualitative approach with an empirical research design. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with village officials, community leaders, and individuals who had previously participated in the mediation process, as well as documentation related to divorce dispute resolution practices at the village level. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, focusing on mediation practices as a manifestation of living law within the community. The findings reveal that divorce mediation facilitated by the village government demonstrates a relatively high level of effectiveness in reducing divorce cases. This effectiveness is influenced by a familial approach, the utilization of local wisdom, and the strong internalization of religious values within the social life of the Banra’as community. From the perspective of Progressive Legal Theory, this mediation practice reflects a flexible and non-positivistic understanding of law that prioritizes humanity and substantive justice. Village-based mediation not only serves as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism but also functions as a social instrument to preserve family harmony and strengthen social resilience in rural communities.

This study aims to examine the implementation of restorative justice within Bungo Regency's criminal judicial system from the perspective of Islamic law. Although restorative justice has been formally adopted in Indonesia through various regulations, its application at the regional level remains an important issue that requires careful attention. The study employs a juridical-empirical research design with a qualitative approach. Data was gathered through observations, in-depth interviews with law enforcement, religious leaders, victims, and offenders, and document analysis. The analysis integrates perspectives from both positive law and Islamic law, particularly focusing on the principles of qiṣāṣ–diyāt, ṣulḥ, ‘afw, ta‘zīr, and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The findings indicate that restorative justice is used in certain criminal cases during the investigative phase in Bungo Regency. However, its effectiveness is limited by factors such as varying levels of readiness among victims and offenders, insufficient technical regulations, community resistance, and inconsistent understanding among law enforcement. From an Islamic law perspective, restorative justice aligns well with Islamic justice principles, particularly those emphasizing public welfare, forgiveness, and restoration. The study concludes that restorative justice is a contemporary manifestation of principles deeply rooted in Islamic legal tradition and not a contradiction of Islamic law. To improve its application, enhancing law enforcement competence, engaging religious and community leaders, and integrating Islamic legal principles into criminal justice policies are essential.

Particularly in emerging nations, corporate environmental criminality poses a serious threat to environmental justice, sustainable development, and legal responsibility. With a focus on corporate crime theory and green criminology, this study critically analyzes corporate environmental crime using an integrative framework that blends modern criminological viewpoints with Islamic criminal law (fiqh al-jināyah). This study examines how Islamic legal concepts, particularly the doctrine of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, can enhance current models of corporate criminal responsibility and environmental governance using a normative-analytical and conceptual approach. The results show that structural incentives, lax enforcement, and profit-driven rationalization tactics make traditional regulatory and penal measures ineffective at discouraging corporate environmental malfeasance. Islamic criminal law provides a revolutionary framework that places environmental conservation as both a legal requirement and a moral necessity because of its strong ethical orientation and comprehensive view of justice. With a focus on ecological balance (ḥifẓ al-bi’ah), property (ḥifẓ al-māl), and life preservation (ḥifẓ al-nafs), this study offers a value-based corporate accountability approach that goes beyond deterrence-oriented punishment and prioritizes prevention, restoration, and social responsibility. By broadening the doctrinal scope of Islamic criminal law to acknowledge corporate criminal culpability, this integrative approach makes a theoretical contribution. Practically, it informs regulatory enforcement and environmental policy change. The study presents an interdisciplinary paradigm that unites criminological analysis and religious legal reasoning, providing a strong basis for creating environmental governance systems that are just, moral, and sustainable, especially in developing nations and jurisdictions with a majority of Muslims.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Indonesia has undergone a paradigmatic shift from voluntary philanthropic activities to a legally binding obligation grounded in various statutory regulations, particularly Law Number 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies and Law Number 25 of 2007 on Investment. This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing CSR in Indonesia from a public policy perspective, to evaluate the implementation of CSR by corporations, and to identify normative and empirical constraints that hinder the optimization of CSR as an instrument of sustainable development. The research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, case-based, and policy analysis approaches. The findings indicate that CSR regulation remains partial in nature, primarily due to the limitation of mandatory obligations to specific sectors, the absence of clear and enforceable sanctions, and the lack of national standards for reporting and oversight.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of theft committed by 15-year-old adolescents in market environments, which creates tension between criminal law enforcement and the principle of child protection in the Indonesian legal system. The study aims to analyze the legal regulations of theft under the old Criminal Code (Law No. 1 of 1946), the new Criminal Code (Law No. 1 of 2023), and the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law; to examine the criminal liability of adolescents from the perspective of criminal law theory; and to review the implementation of restorative justice and diversion. The research method used is normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, particularly reviewing the provisions of Article 591 of the new Criminal Code, the theory of fault, and the principle of proportionality. The results indicate that the criminal liability of children must take into account psychological limitations, maturity levels, and criminogenic factors, including the influence of the social environment. Furthermore, the mens rea element in the phrase "known or reasonably suspected" is difficult to apply in practice to transactions involving small losses, as price reasonableness can obscure indications of malicious intent. This finding affirms that imposing criminal penalties on children in cases of petty theft potentially contradicts the principles of ultimum remedium and proportionality. Therefore, law enforcement should prioritize diversion, mediation, and restorative justice approaches by involving families and communities to achieve substantive justice and prevent excessive criminalization of children.

In Islamic law, marriage registration is very significant for both legal and religious reasons. It is a crucial part of making sure that both the administrative duties of marriage and the safety of the family are protected. In Islamic law, marriage is not just a social contract but also a religious duty that necessitates adequate documentation to safeguard the rights of both parties involved. This paper seeks to investigate the notion of marriage registration through the lens of Islamic law, analyzing its function in protecting familial rights, providing legal safeguards, and performing administrative responsibilities. The study methodology utilized is a qualitative approach, incorporating a literature review and document analysis of Islamic legal texts and pertinent current legal systems. The results show that registering a marriage in Islamic law is important not just for making the marriage official, but also for getting legal recognition, avoiding conflicts, and making sure that family members, especially women and children, are safe under the law. The registration process also makes it clear what the marriage's legal status is and what it means for things like inheritance, custody, and other family issues. In conclusion, marriage registration is an important part of Islamic law that upholds justice, protects the family, and makes sure that the marriage is legally protected and accountable.

This study delves into the philosophical foundations of natural law, contrasting the irrational theories of Thomas Aquinas with the rational perspectives of Hugo Grotius and Immanuel Kant, examining their relevance within Indonesia’s deeply religious and pluralistic context. Aquinas argues that natural law is divinely ordained and serves as a universal moral guide, where law and morality are intrinsically linked. On the other hand, Grotius proposes that while natural law originates from divine will, human reason enables individuals to comprehend it, even without divine revelation. Kant’s philosophy shifts the focus to moral autonomy and the freedom of individuals, emphasizing that legitimate law must be based on principles of universal morality that respect human dignity. In the context of Indonesia, with its diverse religious landscape, integrating these philosophical ideas provides a balanced approach to the interaction between secular law, religious teachings, and moral values. The research adopts a juridical-normative methodology with a conceptual and legislative approach, analyzing secondary legal sources to explore how natural law influences Indonesia's legal system. The findings indicate that while Indonesia's legal system primarily follows positive law, it would benefit from incorporating the moral and spiritual aspects derived from natural law theory. The study concludes that Indonesia’s legal system can achieve a more substantive form of justice by integrating the principles of Aquinas, Grotius, and Kant, thus ensuring a more harmonious blend of legal certainty, moral integrity, and religious principles in the country’s laws.  

The concept of force majeure is essential in business agreements in Indonesia, as it regulates the release of contractual obligations that cannot be fulfilled due to events beyond their control such as natural disasters, pandemics, conflicts, or government policies. This study examines force majeure clauses in business agreements in Indonesia from a normative juridical perspective, focusing on the legal framework, its application practices, and its legal implications for contractual certainty. Using normative juridical qualitative methods, data were analyzed from the Civil Code (KUHPerdata) Articles 1244–1245 and 1444–1445, legal doctrine, and literature. The results of the study underlined that the force majeure clause has a strong legal basis in the Civil Code, which exempts the affected party from the obligation of compensation if the failure to perform the obligation is caused by events beyond his control. The application of this clause in the contract allows for the revision, postponement, or termination of a temporary contract, thereby guaranteeing legal certainty and protecting the principles of good faith and contractual fairness. In addition, the formulation of detailed clauses in the contract is crucial to prevent potential legal disputes down the road and ensure fair protection for all parties involved in the business agreement.

The background of this research aims to determine and analyze judges' perspectives on the application of customary law in resolving criminal cases at the Padangsidimpuan District Court. Customary law is an unwritten legal system that exists and develops within society and is often used as a consideration in deciding cases related to local values ​​and cultural wisdom. In the context of Padangsidimpuan society, which still strongly upholds customs and traditions, customary law often serves as a means of resolving social conflicts before they enter the formal legal realm. The research method used is empirical juridical, with data collection techniques through direct interviews with judges and document studies of several relevant court decisions. The results indicate that most judges at the Padangsidimpuan District Court view customary law as a complementary instrument to positive law, particularly in minor criminal cases with social and familial dimensions. Judges strive to consider customary values ​​to achieve substantive justice, without neglecting the principle of legality and statutory provisions. However, the application of customary law cannot replace positive law in its entirety; rather, it serves as a moral and social value that strengthens the community's sense of justice.

This study aims to examine the legal certainty of ownership of works produced by artificial intelligence (AI), specifically ChatGPT, from the perspective of Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. The main focus of this research is to answer the question of whether works produced by AI can be copyrighted and to identify the legal challenges arising from the absence of explicit regulations in the Indonesian positive legal system. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statute approach and analysis of primary and supplementary legal materials. The study's findings indicate that, to date, there are no national regulations explicitly governing copyright recognition for works produced autonomously by AI systems. Based on the provisions of Article 1 number 3 of Law Number 28 of 2014, works must arise from human intellectual ability, therefore, AI products do not qualify as works potentially entitled to copyright protection. Therefore, legal reformulation through regulatory updates is needed to provide legal certainty and address challenges in the digital era, as well as prevent potential disputes in the national creative industry.

Digital transformation in judicial institutions is aimed at improving transparency, efficiency, and legal certainty for the public. One of the main instruments in the digitization of the judiciary in Indonesia is the Case Tracking Information System (Sistem Informasi Penelusuran Perkara/SIPP), which functions as a means of case administration as well as a medium for public information disclosure. Although SIPP is considered to be running well from an administrative perspective, its effectiveness from the point of view of service users, particularly in providing information on court schedules, still shows limitations in its practical use. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of SIPP in providing information and certainty regarding court schedules for service users at the Surabaya Class IA Special District Court. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with service users and court officials, observation, and review of documents and system data. The analysis was conducted using the Socio-digital effectiveness framework, which focuses on three dimensions, namely user experience, citizen engagement, and public value, to examine the relationship between digital systems, user experience, and the social meaning of public judicial services. The analysis shows that the SIPP has been quite effective in providing access to court schedule information at the administrative level. This effectiveness is reflected in the openness of information access, which can be used by the public without special authentication. However, at the level of practical use, there are still limitations in terms of timeliness and consistency of information updates when there are delays or changes to the court schedule. This affects the user experience in planning attendance and shapes perceptions of the reliability of the digital information provided by the court.

This article analyzes the application of the hierarchy of norms in the decisions of the Constitutional Court concerning Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health using the perspective of Hans Kelsen’s Stufenbau theory. The enactment of the Health Law has generated significant legal debate and several constitutional review petitions submitted to the Constitutional Court, raising questions about the consistency between statutory norms and constitutional principles. This study aims to examine how the Constitutional Court applies the principle of hierarchical norms in reviewing the constitutionality of the Health Law and to assess the relevance of Stufenbau theory in explaining the interpretation of legal norms in constitutional adjudication. This research employs a normative juridical method using statute, conceptual, and case approaches. Primary legal materials consist of the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health, and relevant Constitutional Court decisions, supported by secondary legal materials from academic literature and legal studies. The findings show that the Constitutional Court consistently positions the 1945 Constitution as the highest norm within the Indonesian legal system and uses the hierarchy of norms as the basis for evaluating the validity of statutory provisions. The Court maintains the legal force of the Health Law when no normative conflict with the Constitution is identified, while in certain cases it provides constitutional interpretation to ensure the compatibility of statutory norms with constitutional principles. This study demonstrates that Stufenbau theory remains relevant as an analytical framework for understanding the hierarchical structure of legal norms and the operation of constitutional review within the Indonesian legal system.

This study examines the social realities of Iranian society, often misrepresented in international media that focus on politics, conflict, or conservatism. Using a sociological and humanistic perspective, it highlights everyday practices of courtesy, social norms, and traditions. The taarof ritual a unique form of politeness is discussed as a vivid example of how Iranians foster social harmony, respect guests, and demonstrate solidarity. The article also considers the impact of formal and customary law on social behavior, alongside the interplay between tradition and modernity in urban and rural contexts. Field observations and literature review suggest that Iranian society maintains high levels of courtesy and social cohesion, challenging common stereotypes. This research aims to enrich cross-cultural understanding and provide a more nuanced view of social life in Iran.
