The Kei Islands community adheres to the Larvul Ngabal customary law, which governs various aspects of social and economic life. The philosophy of Ain Ni Ain, emphasizing brotherhood and justice, serves as the foundation for Yelim, a mutual aid system for managing social funds within the community. Additionally, the Kei people have implemented cultural accounting practices in recording and managing communal funds, which align with the principles of transparency and accountability in Islamic banking. However, the acceptance of Islamic banking among the Kei people remains a challenge, particularly within a multireligious community. This study is a sociological legal research (Socio-Legal Research) that employs a descriptive qualitative method with an ethnomethodological approach, involving interviews with customary leaders, religious figures, business actors, and the general public. The findings indicate that the values of Ain Ni Ain and Yelim align with Islamic banking principles, particularly in terms of social justice and financial transparency. Moreover, cultural accounting practices in communal fund management reflect an accountability mechanism similar to Islamic accounting standards. Thus, integrating Kei’s indigenous financial system with Islamic banking offers an innovative approach to enhancing financial inclusion in multireligious societies.    

The right to legal aid is a fundamental entitlement of every citizen, aimed at ensuring access to justice, safeguarding human rights, and providing equal opportunities for legal assistance, particularly for those who face economic challenges. In democratic legal systems, legal aid serves as a crucial mechanism to uphold equality before the law and prevent injustices caused by unequal access to legal resources. The state is responsible for guaranteeing that legal aid is available to its citizens, whether through the provision of qualified lawyers or accessible legal aid institutions, to support individuals throughout legal proceedings, both in criminal and civil cases. Legal aid extends beyond the economically disadvantaged, also covering vulnerable groups such as women, children, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized minorities who are often excluded from the judicial process. In this sense, legal aid plays an essential role in ensuring that every citizen’s rights are protected and that legal proceedings are fair and just. Furthermore, in order to ensure that everyone, regardless of social or economic background, receives equitable and unbiased treatment in legal proceedings, the right to legal assistance is essential to bolstering the rule of law.

Because interest-bearing deposits are not allowed by Islamic Sharia rules and principles, Islamic banks generally collect deposits in the form of profit-sharing investment accounts. These accounts differ from conventional deposits not only because of the profit-sharing nature of the returns they offer but also because the relationship between the customer and the bank is not a debt contract, so these deposits are not considered 'fixed capital.' (artinya, nasabah dapat menerima hasil negatif atau kerugian). This last characteristic poses serious regulatory issues in jurisdictions where bank deposits are legally required to have a definition of 'certain capital.' In general, the presence of such 'risk-bearing instruments' in the capital structure of Islamic banks complicates the assessment of their capital adequacy. Moreover, the fact that profit-sharing investment account holders are a type of equity investor without the governance rights held by creditors or shareholders poses a significant oversight problem. This article explains these issues in more detail and proposes a solution in the form of a structural distinction between Islamic banks in the narrow sense on one side, and entities managing profit-sharing investment accounts on the other.

Usury is one of the concepts that is forbidden in Islamic law and has a significant impact on the economy of individuals and society (Arafah et al., 2019). The background of this study focuses on the importance of a deep understanding of usury to build awareness of its economic implications. The purpose of this study is to identify and explain the types of usury, as well as to understand the legal basis that prohibits the practice in the Qur'an and Hadith. The research method used is a qualitative method based on literature review, by analyzing primary and secondary sources related to Islamic law and sharia economics. The results of the study indicate that usury consists of several categories that have different implications, and the application of the law on usury can encourage the development of a fairer financial system. The discussion includes an analysis of the social and economic impacts of usury practices, as well as alternative sharia financial products that can be applied to replace usury. This study is expected to contribute to public understanding of usury and encourage the implementation of sharia principles in the modern economy.

This study explores the comparative analysis of civil rights between citizens and non-citizens, examining various regulations and their implementation in different countries. Citizenship often determines an individual's access to various civil rights, such as property ownership, access to justice, and contract rights. These differences in treatment can create injustices and discrimination against non-citizens. The study employs a normative legal approach with comparative and case study methodologies, focusing on regulations in Indonesia, the United States, Germany, and Japan. The findings reveal that in Indonesia, non-citizens face restrictions on property ownership, while in the United States and Japan, although regulations are more flexible, there are still limitations related to strategic or sensitive properties. In Germany, immigrants and asylum seekers often encounter greater legal barriers to accessing justice. Conversely, in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States, although there are no formal restrictions on contracts for non-citizens, they may face practical difficulties in accessing the necessary services to fulfill contractual obligations. The study recommends the need for more inclusive legal reforms to reduce inequalities and discrimination, and to enhance access to justice and civil rights for non-citizens. Additionally, strengthening legal aid services and international cooperation in civil law are suggested to ensure fair protection of rights for all individuals. The findings contribute significantly to the international civil law literature and provide valuable insights for policymakers in developing more equitable and sustainable policies in the era of globalization.

The regulation of protection during armed conflicts is greatly aided by the distinction between the rights and protections granted to combatants and non-combatants under International Humanitarian Law (IHL). Nonetheless, there hasn't been much discussion in the literature about how nationality affects how these legal safeguards are applied. This study attempts to investigate how fighters' and non-combatants' rights and safeguards under IHL are impacted by nationality. The results show that nationality can have a substantial impact on the legal status and level of protection that individuals receive, regardless of whether they are combatants or not. This research examines obstacles to the application of legal safeguards and illustrates how nationality influences their implementation using case studies of the crises in Syria and Ukraine. The study suggests that within IHL, precise standards on nationality be developed.

Urban green-space conflicts have emerged as a significant challenge for marginalized communities, exacerbating existing social and environmental inequalities in cities undergoing rapid urbanization and environmental transitions. This study explores the dynamics of access to justice for marginalized groups in the context of urban green-space conflicts, focusing on the barriers they face and the enabling factors that improve their ability to access legal remedies. Through a socio-legal research design, data was collected using surveys, case reviews, and stakeholder interviews, which were analyzed to identify key physical, socio-economic, and institutional barriers that hinder equitable access to green spaces. Findings revealed that marginalized communities often experience physical barriers such as limited proximity to green spaces, socio-economic disparities that prevent them from accessing legal resources, and institutional constraints, including discriminatory urban planning policies. Despite these challenges, enabling factors such as legal aid networks, participatory forums, and inclusive urban planning policies emerged as crucial elements in improving access to justice for these communities. Moreover, the study examined the impact of social and environmental transitions, such as urbanization and climate change, on justice outcomes, showing that these transitions can either exacerbate or alleviate barriers depending on how policies are implemented. The study emphasizes the need for policy reforms that promote equity in urban planning and legal aid systems, ensuring that marginalized communities are included in decision-making processes. Future research should explore the impact of environmental justice policies in global contexts and investigate new legal frameworks to address the specific needs of vulnerable populations.

Industrialization, while often driving economic growth, has led to significant environmental degradation, particularly in marginalized communities. These populations, already vulnerable due to socio-economic and geographic factors, bear the brunt of the environmental harm caused by industrial activities. This study explores the role of social-legal instruments in mitigating ecological inequality, focusing on their ability to reduce environmental burdens and empower marginalized communities in industrializing regions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining environmental data mapping and legal framework assessment. The study found that social-legal interventions, including rights-based advocacy, legal aid, and community participation, significantly reduced ecological disparities. By improving access to legal resources and fostering active community engagement in environmental governance, these interventions empowered vulnerable populations to advocate for their environmental rights. Positive correlations were found between the implementation of robust legal frameworks and reductions in pollution exposure, highlighting the effectiveness of integrating environmental and social protections. However, the study also identified several barriers to the effective implementation of these instruments, including political resistance, resource limitations, and unequal access to legal support. These challenges hinder the full realization of social-legal frameworks' potential. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers to strengthen social-legal instruments by incorporating social equity into environmental regulations and improving the resources available to marginalized communities. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impacts of social-legal interventions and their scalability to other industrializing regions, with an emphasis on enhancing both ecological and social outcomes.
