The younger generation in Indonesia faces significant challenges in the form of an identity crisis and moral degradation due to the increasingly strong influence of other cultures in the era of globalization and the fifth industrial revolution. A pragmatic culture that does not always align with national identity puts pressure on Pancasila principles such as belief in God, humanity, unity, democracy, and social justice. As a result, character education integrated into social studies instruction serves as a tactical tool to reintroduce these fundamental principles to students from an early age. This study, using qualitative methodology and a descriptive design, found that contextualized and project-based social studies instruction not only enhances students' understanding of Pancasila values ​​but also fosters the growth of critical thinking skills, social empathy, reflective attitudes, and a spirit of cooperation. When combined with digital tools like Canva, Taman Siswa's teachings—niteni, niroake, and nambahi—have proven successful in developing students' creativity and enhancing their purpose and enjoyment in learning.

Currently, the digital era has penetrated most sectors of humanity, where one of the people who are penetrated is the Indonesian people. Data shows that internet users in Indonesia have reached 221 million, equivalent to 79.5 percent of Indonesia's total population. Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest number of internet users in the world. Some of them are the use of Artificial Intelligence in driving, in digital marketplace services, and in responding to consumer complaints. However, these things are not entirely free from the potential adverse risks that can befall consumers. So far, the Indonesian Positive Law regulation has not yet reached the regulation of the impact of potential adverse risks to consumers who use products containing Artificial Intelligence. On the other hand, the European Union has already regulated the impact of adverse risks in the use of Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, this research will try to adopt the norm from the European Union and initiate it as an answer to the regulation of the impact of risks in the utilization of Artificial Intelligence in the perspective of Indonesian Law.

This research aims to understand the concept and regulations of Islamic pension funds (dana pensiun syariah) in Indonesia, which impact life in old age based on the Maqasid al-Shariah (objectives of Islamic law). An Islamic pension fund is a pension fund that administers a retirement program based on Sharia principles (DSN-MUI Fatwa Number: 88/DSN-MUI/XI/2013). The management of Islamic pension funds in Indonesia is carried out through investments in Sharia-compliant pension funds that are distributed to participants. This is closely tied to the contractual consequences of the underlying agreement governing the transactional relationship between DPLK (Financial Institution Pension Fund) participants and the Sharia DPLK, which is based on the contract of Wakalah bil Ujrah (agency with fee).This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method to analyze instruments of old-age protection based on Maqasid al-Shariah in the management of pension funds within Islamic financial institutions. The research is rooted in the management of pension funds aligned with the Maqasid al-Shariah, which represent the main objectives of Islamic law—namely, to realize the welfare (maslahah) of humanity in both this world and the hereafter. This pension fund also serves as a form of old-age security designed to provide income certainty for workers after entering retirement.

The Islamic ethics of war are an important part of Sharia teachings, emphasizing that moral and humanitarian principles must be upheld during times of conflict. Islam does not view war as an ultimate goal, but rather as a last resort for defending justice, fighting oppression, and protecting people from real threats. In this context, the Quran and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) provide clear guidelines for Muslims to follow when engaging in war. These include prohibitions against killing non-combatants, such as women, children, and the elderly. They also prohibit dangerous public institutions, worship, and neighborhoods. Muslims are also obligated to treat prisoners of war humanely. The Qur'an and Hadith clearly regulate the treatment of prisoners of war, emphasizing the principles of justice, respect for humanity, and the rights of individuals in the midst of warfare. Understanding and applying Islamic war ethics invites Muslims to avoid an aggressive attitude and to use war as a means of defending noble values while maintaining human dignity. This research uses the thematic method to analyze hadiths about war. The results of this research are broadly covered in three areas: the definition of war, the prohibition of cruel actions in war, and war strategies. The results of the research are expected to provide insight as well as a foundation for further discussion.

All humans have human rights not because of gifts given to them by society or based on applicable positive law, but because they are human beings. Human rights violations if committed by anyone will be reciprocated by anyone whose rights are taken. As is happening now, human rights violations committed by the state of Israel against Palestine are a form of taking away other people’s rights, especially the right to life and live in safety. Actions such as blockades, evictions, restrictions on mobility, and armed attacks have raised serious concerns from the international community regarding violations of international humanitarian law. This study uses a descriptive-analytical approach to evaluate the extent to which these security policies exceed the principles of civilian protection. It obtains a conclusion that security concepts is often used in defense of act that are against international norms and agreements after analyzing government reports, data from human rights organizations, and UN resolutions. These findings point the value of achieving a balance between state objectives and human rights protection as part of a sustainable security policy in the context of strategic security studies.

This study is motivated by the ongoing debate regarding the application of the death penalty to perpetrators of corruption in Indonesia, particularly in relation to the protection of human rights as stipulated in Law Number 39 of 1999. The purpose of this research is to explain the extent to which the death penalty can be appropriately and proportionally applied to corruptors while considering human rights principles. This study employs a normative legal approach focused on the analysis of statutory regulations and relevant legal literature. The data is analyzed using a qualitative juridical method, emphasizing a normative review of applicable positive law. The findings reveal a discrepancy between the imposition of the death penalty for corruption crimes and the right to life guaranteed by Indonesia’s human rights legal instruments. The implication of this research highlights the need to reconsider the policy of capital punishment for corrupt practices to ensure alignment with the principles of justice, humanity, and respect for human rights within the national legal system.  

Human Rights are often the main topic of problems in a region, sometimes as a society, Human Rights must always be voiced so that every individual or group gets a decent life and rights. But in some cases, especially in Indonesia, there are many news and problems where the main issue is Human Rights, from the lack of justice and humanity for some groups, in this case there needs to be an important agent for social change and balance in a country.

Students have many communities that are active in the field of voicing Human Rights, one of which is the Amnesty community, Amnesty is an international forum or community driven by students and almost every university in Indonesia has such a community. One of the mass media often used by the Amnesty community is Instagram. This platform is currently in demand by many generations, especially the younger generation, especially students. By using Instagram as a platform to voice Human Rights, Amnesty can attract people around and even outside those who cannot be reached to help voice Human Rights for the common good. Human Rights issues are not only within the scope of the University but also in the international realm.

Terrorism is considered a crime against humanity and poses a serious threat to the sovereignty of states as it has an international scope and impact. This crime threatens global security and peace and undermines the welfare of society, thus requiring decisive and sustained eradication efforts to protect and respect human rights at large. radicalism reflects an attitude or view that is extreme and seeks social or political change in ways that are controversial or outside the norm. Perpetrators of terrorism often have radical views and choose violent acts as a way to achieve their goals. Prevention of terrorism through deradicalization is a proactive step and requires caution with consideration of the plurality of Indonesian society and the vulnerability of plurality to social conflict.

The conflict involving Armed Criminal Groups (KKB) in Papua presents a serious dilemma between law enforcement and the protection of human rights. On one hand, KKB’s actions—such as attacks on civilians and security personnel—are classified as gross human rights violations, posing threats to national security and obstructing regional development. On the other hand, law enforcement efforts by state authorities are often criticized for alleged human rights abuses, especially in military operations that may involve excessive use of force. This study aims to analyze the conflict from both legal and human rights perspectives using a normative juridical approach. The analysis is based on relevant legal frameworks, including the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. The article proposes strategic measures to achieve a balanced resolution, such as inclusive dialogue with Papuan communities, human rights-based training for security forces, independent oversight of security operations, and adherence to humanitarian principles. These approaches are expected to foster stability and peace while ensuring the protection of human rights. Ultimately, this study emphasizes that the resolution of the Papua conflict must not rely solely on repressive measures but must also prioritize justice, humanity, and long-term sustainability.

This paper aims to explore the charismatic leadership model of Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) from the perspective of Pancasila Education, with an emphasis on the internalization of human values, tolerance, and democracy embedded in the national and cultural praxis. Using a approach based on literature study, this article shows how Gus Dur became a transformative leader who consistently realized the second, third, and fourth principles of Pancasila. His leadership not only defended the nation's plurality but also created interreligious dialogue spaces and protected minority groups as concrete manifestations of humanity and tolerance values. Furthermore, the deliberative democracy he pioneered remains a significant legacy for political education and national character development.  

Dispensational theology is a system of biblical interpretation that views the history of salvation as a series of periods or dispensations in which God interacts with humanity in different ways, each with distinct rules and responsibilities. This writing aims to understand the development of the concept of dispensationalism, its literal method of interpretation, and the differing perspectives between Israel and the Church in God's plan. The method used is a literature review, analyzing various scholarly works and theological sources. The study's findings indicate that dispensationalism emphasizes a literal interpretation of the Bible, makes a clear distinction between Israel and the Church, and understands God’s promises as being fulfilled literally in the future. This system continues to develop and remains relevant in contemporary Christian theological discourse, including in Indonesia.

Humanitarian intervention is often seen as an effort to protect civilians from human rights violations, but it often clashes with the principle of state sovereignty in international law. This research evaluates the alignment of humanitarian intervention with the values of Pancasila as an ethical and moral footing in international policy. The research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach; data is obtained from a literature study that includes academic documents, journals, reference books, and diplomatic reports, then analyzed descriptively-analytically to reveal the views of Pancasila in the practice of international law. The results show that although intervention has noble aims, its implementation often collides with the principle of non-intervention and the principle of state sovereignty. The values of Pancasila, especially fair and civilized humanity and social justice, can be used as a moral foundation to assess the legitimacy of intervention, but its application in international norms is still constrained by political interests and power imbalances between states. The conclusion of this study is that Pancasila offers a potential ethical framework for more just humanitarian interventions, but diplomacy and policy advocacy efforts are needed to strengthen the position of developing countries in formulating international norms that respect sovereignty while protecting human rights.

This study discusses the role of Pancasila as the foundational and ideological basis of the Indonesian state in the context of international diplomacy, as well as its implications for the formation of national law and foreign policy. Pancasila functions not only as a normative foundation but also as a form of soft power that supports Indonesia's position in the global arena. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach, drawing from journals, books, and relevant legal documents. The findings indicate that Pancasila influences Indonesia’s foreign diplomacy through core values such as social justice, deliberation, and humanity. However, challenges remain in its implementation, particularly in maintaining consistency between Pancasila’s values and global as well as national interests. In the context of international law, Pancasila as a legal ideal (rechtsidee) contributes to the development of a just, inclusive, and tolerant legal system. Therefore, revitalizing the understanding of Pancasila is crucial to ensure it remains a central guideline in every foreign policy decision and national legal development in Indonesia.

Terrorism is an extraordinary crime that requires extraordinary measures. The Elucidation of Law Number 5/2018 describes that the crime of terrorism is a serious, deliberate, systematic, and planned crime that instills widespread fear. However, the law does not explicitly regulate exceptions to the statute of limitations rendering it subject to the general provisions in the Criminal Code. Under Law 5/2018, terrorism is punishable by death. Consequently if evades after 18 years, the obligation to prosecute is extinguished. In contrast, Law Number 26/2000 concerning Human Rights Courts excludes gross human rights violations like crimes against humanity from statute of limitations provision. Terrorism can be categorized as a crime against humanity. This is because terrorism is a widespread and systematic attack that directly aimed at the civilian population, as formulated in Law 26/2000. However, with both crimes against humanity and terrorism codified in the 2023 Criminal Code along with closing provisions revoking parts of Law 26/2000 and Law 5/2018, raises the question whether these crimes will now be subject to the statute of limitations provision in the 2023 Code. This is certainly not in accordance with both comparative practice in various countries and international law.
