The rapid development of information technology in the digital era has presented new challenges in the protection of personal data. The government as the state administrator has a constitutional obligation to protect the rights of citizens, including the right to privacy. This study aims to analyze the form of government legal accountability in ensuring the protection of people's personal data amidst the increasing threat of information leaks and protection. The research method used is normative juridical with a regulatory-legislative approach as well as case studies and also the opinions of relevant experts. The research findings show that although there are legal instruments such as Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection, the effectiveness of its implementation is still limited by a number of factors, including weak supervision.

The government has a responsibility not only normatively, but also factually to protect personal data through policies that favor the public interest. The government is required not only to form regulations, but also to carry out supervisory and enforcement functions effectively and accountably, and sustainably in order to protect fundamental rights. Therefore, the government's legal responsibility must be realized through consistent real actions in ensuring the security of personal data in the digital era.

This article discusses citizenship status in Islamic law, focusing on case studies of Muslim minorities in non-Islamic countries, while considering the dynamics of national law and human rights. The research highlights that in Islamic law, citizenship is often associated with membership in the ummah, although modern Muslim states have adopted contemporary citizenship systems. Developments in Indonesian citizenship policies in the last five years, particularly concerning migration and the rights of foreign nationals married to Indonesian citizens, are also analyzed. However, the implementation of these policies faces challenges due to inconsistencies between national law and Islamic principles related to religious identity. The perspective of Islamic law emphasizes the safeguarding essential rights and human worth, in addition to fairness in the treatment of all individuals. The integration of muslim communities residing in western nations poses challenges in distinguishing the majority from extremist minorities. Additionally, equality, the liberty to make individual choices, and partnership are seen as key elements in shaping the societal lives of muslims across western regions. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between national laws and Islamic principles is needed to guarantee the safeguarding of the rights of muslim minorities worldwide.

This study discusses the conflict between Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024 concerning the provision of contraceptives for students with the principles contained in the Child Marriage Law and the National Education System in Indonesia. Although this policy aims to prevent early pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, the provision of contraceptives for students raises concerns because it is considered to legitimize sexual activity among adolescents. This is compared to child protection efforts as stated in the Marriage Law which stipulates the minimum age of marriage and moral values ​​in education. This study uses a normative legal approach to analyze the implications of the policy on children's rights, the education system, and social and cultural values. The results of the study indicate that this policy has the potential to violate the goals of national education and child protection. Therefore, a more balanced policy revision is needed, by integrating comprehensive sex education based on moral values, in order to protect children's rights while providing appropriate education for adolescents.

This study aims to examine the application of mala in se and mala per se concepts in the counter-terrorism policy in Indonesia, based on Law Number 15 of 2003 in conjunction with Law Number 5 of 2018. Terrorism is categorized as an extraordinary crime that causes serious harm both nationally and internationally. This research employs a literature review and normative legal approach to analyze the application of criminal law norms within the context of human rights protection. The findings show that terrorism, as a mala in se offense, requires a comprehensive legal approach that prioritizes not only national security but also the protection of civil rights. The enforcement of anti-terrorism laws, if applied too broadly and harshly, may violate the principles of due process and substantive justice. Therefore, counter-terrorism efforts must be based on the pro justitia principle, supported by independent oversight and active civil society participation to prevent abuse of power and maintain the integrity of the legal system.

Qawaid al-Fiqhiyyah are fundamental principles in Islamic law that serve as guidelines for establishing legal rulings, including in the context of marriage registration. Although, in Islam, the validity of a marriage is determined by the fulfillment of its pillars and conditions, marriage registration becomes crucial in state law to ensure legal certainty and provide protection for married couples and their children. The application of fiqh principles such as "Harm must be eliminated" and "Preventing harm takes precedence over obtaining benefits" indicates that marriage registration is necessary to prevent various legal and social issues. Furthermore, this registration aligns with the principle of maslahah (public benefit) in Islamic law, which aims to safeguard the rights of spouses and their offspring. Therefore, although marriage registration is not a requirement for a valid marriage in Islam, from a legal and public welfare perspective, it plays a highly significant role.

Genocide against civilians constitutes a severe infringement upon fundamental human rights, demanding a firm response from the international community.

By examining genocide incidents from the 20th and 21st centuries, the research highlights various shortcomings in the accountability framework, such as political interference, inconsistent legal enforcement, and insufficient international collaboration from member states in extraditing suspects. Legal and administrative obstacles, such as evidence collection and witness protection, also hinder judicial processes. Nevertheless, there are opportunities to enhance the system’s effectiveness, including strengthening the authority of international judicial bodies, improving inter-state coordination, and utilizing technology in genocide investigations. By addressing these shortcomings, the international legal system is expected to become more effective in upholding justice and preventing future acts of genocide.

Nasab is a fundamental concept in Islam that determines a child's relationship with the father, which then affects guardianship rights, inheritance, and family relationships. The preservation of lineage is one of the main objectives of Maqāṣid sharia because it has significant legal, social, and moral implications. Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 recognizes the civil relationship between an extramarital child and his biological father if it can be proven by technology or other valid evidence. This decision is in accordance with the concept of nasab in Islam but is not recorded by the state. This study examines the concept of nasab and civil status of out-of-wedlock children in Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 from the Maṣlaḥah perspective. Using a juridical-normative approach and descriptive analysis, this research is based on sources, including court decisions and legislation, as well as secondary literature discussing Maṣlaḥah. The results show that the decision is in line with the concept of Maṣlaḥah in Islam. The suitability of the Constitutional Court's decision with the concept of maslahah is based on the status of the applicant's marriage as religiously valid. Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 is not appropriate when used as jurisprudence for children born outside a legal marriage or can be called adulterous children.

The principle of proportionality plays an important role in ensuring the balance of rights and obligations between the parties in a reciprocal agreement. In the context of Indonesian contract law, this principle functions as a mechanism to prevent inequality that can harm one of the parties, especially in commercial and complex contracts. As stated by Hernoko (2016), the application of the principle of proportionality in commercial contracts aims to create substantive justice through a balanced exchange of rights and obligations between the parties. This study uses a normative legal approach with a literature study method, which involves an analysis of related laws and regulations and case studies. This approach allows researchers to explore the application of the principle of proportionality in various types of reciprocal agreements, including franchise agreements and construction service contracts. For example, a study by Susanto et al. (2021)1 highlights how the principle of proportionality is applied in construction service contracts to ensure a fair distribution of responsibilities between contractors and clients. The results of the analysis show that consistent application of the principle of proportionality can improve justice in contractual relationships. In franchise agreements, for example, Rahmawan et al. (2020)2 found that the application of this principle helps create a balance between the rights and obligations of franchisors and franchisees, who often have different bargaining positions. Thus, the principle of proportionality functions not only as a legal principle, but also as a practical tool to achieve justice in contractual practices.

Advocates are one of the main pillars in the justice system that have a strategic role as law enforcers, human rights defenders, and guardians of justice. However, amidst high public expectations for the integrity and professionalism of advocates, various serious challenges have emerged, one of which is the practice of corruption that can damage the dignity of this profession. This article aims to examine the position of advocates as enforcers of justice from the perspective of professional ethics and the potential for involvement in corruption. Using a normative legal approach, this article analyzes the legal basis and code of ethics of advocates, as well as real case studies as an empirical illustration.      

Mass media plays a crucial role in shaping public perceptions of various groups, including Muslims. This study examines how Muslims are represented in the media and its impact on national identity. The research employs a literature review method with content analysis from academic journals, books, and news reports. The findings show that Muslim representation in the media varies, often exhibiting biases that influence public perception. In politics, Muslims are frequently associated with extremism, particularly in Western media. In social and cultural aspects, negative stereotypes persist despite some media highlighting positive Muslim contributions. These representations impact national identity, either strengthening or weakening individuals' sense of belonging to their country and their access to citizenship rights. Therefore, more objective and balanced journalism practices are needed to support the creation of an inclusive and harmonious society.

The song "Bayar Bayar Bayar" by the band Sukatani describes a social critique of injustice in public services in Indonesia, especially those involving the police institution. Through simple yet meaningful repetitive lyrics, the song reflects the reality of people's lives who have to face additional costs to obtain public services that should be free or fair. In this analysis, the song is connected to Nancy Fraser's concept of social injustice, which shows the inequality in the distribution of social rights, as well as the instrumental theory of law which states that law is often a tool for certain interests. The aesthetic techniques used in the song, including repetition and hyperbole, strengthen the message of social criticism, making it a means of resistance to corrupt social structures. In the Indonesian social context, the song also serves as a reflection of society's distrust of public institutions and becomes a medium of expression that encourages collective awareness of broader issues of injustice.
