International criminal law is a crucial instrument within the international legal system designed to address serious crimes that transcend national jurisdiction, such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. International criminal law serves as a means to uphold justice, maintain international order, and prevent impunity for perpetrators of serious crimes that have a broad impact on the global community. This study aims to examine the enforcement of international criminal law in the modern era, emphasizing law enforcement mechanisms and the role of cooperation between states and international institutions. The research method used is normative juridical research, with an approach to relevant laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and court decisions. The results indicate that the effectiveness of international criminal law enforcement still faces various obstacles, primarily stemming from state political interests, weak commitment to international cooperation, and inconsistencies between legal norms and their implementation. The principle of complementarity is a fundamental element of this system, as it positions states as the primary actors in the prosecution process, while international judicial institutions play a complementary role if national mechanisms are ineffective. Furthermore, harmonization of national laws with international criminal law provisions and strengthening cross-border cooperation are determining factors in the success of law enforcement. This study concludes that synergy between states and international institutions, accompanied by strong political commitment, is a key prerequisite for the realization of a just and sustainable international criminal law enforcement system.

This study aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of Islamic monetary policy in Indonesia in facing digital transformation, particularly through the instruments of Sertifikat Bank Indonesia Syariah (SBIS) and Sukuk Bank Indonesia (SukBI). The digital transformation of the national financial system demands an adaptive monetary policy that remains grounded in the principles of maqashid shariah. In the context of Islamic economics, monetary policy not only functions to regulate the money supply and maintain price stability but also ensures the realization of justice and economic welfare. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using literature-based data collection from official publications of Bank Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and relevant academic references on Islamic monetary policy. The analysis adopts an inductive approach by examining the roles of SBIS and Sukuk BI in supporting the stability of the Islamic financial system and their alignment with maqashid shariah values such as al-‘adl (justice), al-wudhuh (transparency), and ar-rawaj (circulation of wealth). The findings indicate that digitalization has positively impacted the efficiency and transparency of Islamic monetary instruments, where SBIS plays a role in regulating the liquidity of Islamic banks in a non-usurious manner, while Sukuk BI serves as an essential instrument in maintaining national economic stability. Nevertheless, challenges remain, including the limited digital infrastructure for Islamic finance and the need to strengthen regulations to ensure that digital monetary systems remain consistent with sharia principles.

Local government accounting policies provide the foundation for financial reporting. The Budget Realization Report (LRA) compares budgeted and actual figures, with the resulting balance recorded as the Sisa Lebih Pembiayaan Anggaran (SILPA, excess financing surplus). This study in East Lombok Regency aims to quantify the SILPA in the 2024 APBD and to analyze the financial accounting policies used in its determination. A descriptive approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods was applied. Data were collected via structured interviews with local finance officials, observations, and document analysis of APBD financial reports. Qualitative data were reduced and presented to describe policy factors, while quantitative analysis computed the SILPA value. Results show the 2024 LRA recorded a SILPA of IDR 6,414,658,153.17, indicating unused budget funds. These funds will finance the 2025 budget deficit for investment and equity in regional companies. The accounting policy for SILPA determination considered key principles such as prudence, substance over form, and materiality, in accordance with government accounting standards (e.g. applying the conservatism principle to avoid recognizing uncertain revenues). This analysis highlights how regional financial policies influence the management of budget surpluses.

Law Number 35 of 2014 on Child Protection plays a strategic role in providing legal protection for children who are victims of violence, bpth physical and psychological. The enactment of this regulation represents the state’s response to the increasing number of violence cases againts children, which necessitate a more comprehensive and child-oriented legal protection system. This law strengthens legal instruments through the recognition and protection of children’s rights, the imposition of criminal sanctions againts perpetators of violence, and th provision of recovery mechanisms for child victims. However, in practice, the implementation of the Child Protection Law continues to face various challenges, including weak law enforment, limited protection fasilities and infrastructure, and inadequate coordination among relevant institutions. These obstacles have resulted in the suboptimal realization of legal protection for child victims of violence. Therefore, the effectiveness of Child Protection Law largely depends on the responsiveness and commitment of law enforcement officials, as wekk as the synergy between the government, society, and families. Through such collaboration, optimal and sustainable child protection can be achieved.

This study applies a qualitative descriptive method with a field study approach involving direct observation, interviews, and review of documents related to Mudharabah financing procedures. The research findings show that Bank Muamalat Rangkasbitung implements a profit-sharing system based on the principles of justice (al-'adl) and trustworthiness (al-amanah). The profit-sharing scheme is carried out proportionally according to the ratio agreed upon in the initial contract, so that both parties have clarity regarding rights and responsibilities. The implementation of this system not only ensures the avoidance of usury but also strengthens the partnership between the bank and customers through practices of transparency, information disclosure, and a shared commitment to business management. Overall, these findings show that the implementation of Al-Mudharabah financing at Bank Muamalat Rangkasbitung has been running in line with several sharia values ​​and even supports the realization of fair, ethical, and sustainability-oriented Islamic economic practices. Thus, Mudharabah financing at the branch can be an example of the effective implementation of sharia contracts and is able to encourage the development of the sharia financial sector at the local level.

Indonesia has extraordinary resources and potential in developing renewable energy sources (RES), but various obstacles must be overcome in implementing RES. The purpose of this study is to analyze the gap in the application of RES. This gap includes energy knowledge, community participation, battery waste management, service quality, regulation, and legal policy. This study uses a mixed-methods approach, by conducting a structured questionnaire in quantitative data collection, while qualitative data collection through special interviews, focused group discussions, and conducting policy regulation analysis. The results show that 62% of people do not understand RES, 28% are involved in project planning, and 74% are unaware of SOP (standard operating procedures) regarding battery waste recycling. The results of the correlation analysis reveal a positive relationship between the level of knowledge and interest in RES (R = 0.56). Also, the developed community-based participation model includes initial involvement, transparency of information, and local incentives. These findings further strengthen the compatibility of the innovation diffusion theory, planned behavior theory, SERVQUAL, and the theory of public interest. This study will make a practical contribution through evidence-based strategies in increasing resilience, especially for policymakers and energy service providers. The impact of the policy aspects includes the need for large reforms, education, public campaigns, and the realization of battery waste management systems. This study also provides an opportunity for further study by expanding the geographical scope and related industrial sectors.

This research is motivated by several factors such as locally generated revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, revenue-sharing funds, and capital expenditure. Some of the problems identified in this study include the realization of locally generated revenue that has never reached the budget target over four consecutive years, a percentage decrease in locally generated revenue while capital expenditure remains constant, and the absence of certain special allocation funds, which may affect capital expenditure. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of locally generated revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and revenue-sharing funds on capital expenditure. This research employs a descriptive quantitative method using data samples obtained from the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency of Aceh Province in the form of Budget Realization Reports for the period 2019–2022. The data analysis technique used is linear regression. The results show that, based on the simultaneous test (F-test), locally generated revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and revenue-sharing funds have a positive and significant effect on capital expenditure. Meanwhile, based on the partial test (t-test), each of these variables—locally generated revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and revenue-sharing funds—also has a positive and significant effect on capital expenditure.

This study was conducted to evaluate the level of conformity between actual mining activities in March 2025 and the monthly sequence design plan at PT Tama Raya's P3000BK14 pit. The evaluation focused on geometric deviations, volume achievement, and changes in field conditions that influenced these discrepancies. The data used included the sequence design, actual topography from the TLS (Low-Scale Land Survey), and weekly production realizations. The results showed significant discrepancies between the planned and actual operations in weeks 2 and 4, primarily in the form of overcuts, undercuts, non-designed contour changes, thinning of the coal seam, and hydrological obstacles such as ponding and unstable drainage. The R2 sequence redesign in week 4 proved to improve the overburden excavation flow but did not fully restore coal access due to persistent geological and water conditions. These findings emphasize the need for more rapid topographic updates, more intensive water handling, and interdepartmental coordination to ensure better synchronization of plans and operations.

This study analyzes the legal implications of the Merauke Food Estate Project on the principles of sustainable development and Indonesia's commitment to Net Zero Emission (NZE) from the viewpoint of international environmental law. Through a normative legal approach complemented by qualitative empirical analysis, this study reveals that the realization of this project has the possibility of violating national and international environmental principles, which include sustainable development, the precautionary principle, and the polluter pays principle, due to the mass deforestation that increases carbon emissions and the absence of the implementation of the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) mechanism for indigenous peoples. The findings indicate that the legal responsibility of the state and corporations in this project is not fully aligned with Indonesia's commitments under the Paris Agreement and the NZE target. Previously, and Informed Consent (FPIC/PADIATAPA) for indigenous peoples. The findings show that the legal responsibilities of the state and corporations in this project are not completely in line for Indonesia's commitments in the Paris Agreement and the 2060 NZE target, thus requiring policy reconstruction according to a rights-based strategy to ensure a balance between food security, ecological fairness, and a healthy environment.

This study presents a woodcraft creation in the form of a wall clock with traditional Karo ornaments as the main visual element. The creation is driven by the urgency to preserve the visual culture of the Karo people, which is increasingly threatened by modernization, and the lack of distinctive local souvenirs in tourist areas such as Berastagi, which often offer only generic or mass-produced items. This creation aims not only to function as an indicator of time but also as a medium for cultural preservation, education, and the strengthening of the Karo visual identity in a contemporary context. The creative process applies the "three stages and six steps" approach by S.P. Gustami, which includes exploration, design, and realization. Exploration involves field observations of Karo architecture and artifacts, literary studies on Karo visual symbols, and careful selection of motifs, focusing on Tapak Raja Sulaiman, Takal Kerbo, and Pengeret-ret as representative elements rich in symbolic meaning. The design stage produces various sketches that integrate the functional aspect of the wall clock with the principles of ornamentation, ensuring both utility and cultural expression. Realization involves selecting local woods such as teak, mahogany, and jelutung, followed by manual carving techniques, the application of natural wood coloring, and protective finishing with melamine spray to ensure durability and aesthetic quality. The final result consists of twelve unique wall clocks that embody the aesthetic, symbolic, and cultural richness of the Karo people. This work demonstrates how traditional motifs can be re-contextualized into functional objects, making cultural heritage more visible and relevant in daily life, and is expected to inspire further innovation in the local crafts industry, contributing to long-term preservation and revitalization of regional cultural identity.

The copyright infringement of public appearances at Mie Gacoan Bali Outlet reflects the weak legal awareness of the use of copyrighted works for commercial purposes without permission. The act of playing songs without paying royalties has legal consequences for the company, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. This research aims to analyze the qualifications of violations that ensnare the company's directors and the form of dispute resolution applied. The method used is normative legal research with a legislative approach and related case studies through qualitative analysis. The results of the study show that the royalty payment obligation of Rp2,264,520,000.00 is calculated based on the Decree of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number HKI.2.OT.03.01-02 of 2016, with a rate of Rp120,000 per seat per year. Disputes are resolved through a royalty payment mechanism as a form of fulfillment of the economic rights of the creator. This study concludes that strengthening legal understanding, optimizing the implementation of regulations, and improving education and socialization are the keys to creating compliance with copyright protection and encouraging the realization of a fair, ethical, and sustainable music industry ecosystem in Indonesia.

This study aims to: 1) identify and analyze the degree of fiscal decentralization and the level of financial independence of regencies and cities in North Sumatra Province during the period 2015–2024; and 2) analyze the variation in regional revenue realization based on its components, as well as the variation in regional financial capacity across regencies/cities during the same period. The methods used in this research include the Fiscal Decentralization Degree Ratio (DDF), the Regional Financial Independence Ratio (RKKD), and a Two-Way ANOVA test, supported by SPSS 20 software. The findings show that the degree of fiscal decentralization remains relatively low from year to year, indicating a strong dependence on central government transfers. Similarly, the regional financial independence ratio is also categorized as low, with an instructive pattern of relationship, meaning that regional governments still have limited ability to finance development needs independently. The Two-Way ANOVA test results reveal significant differences in regional revenue realization both across regencies/cities and across years within the study period. The largest variations are attributed to the differing characteristics of each regency/city, including economic potential, effectiveness in managing locally generated revenue, and variations in regional fiscal structures. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing fiscal capacity and optimizing local revenue sources throughout North Sumatra.

In the era of digital transformation, modern, systematic, and integrated archive management has become a crucial element in creating effective, efficient, and accountable education governance. Office Management and Business Services (MPLB) teachers in East Java still face obstacles in implementing technology-based archive management due to limited digital literacy, lack of supporting facilities, and minimal ongoing training relevant to 21st-century needs. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve the professional competence of MPLB teachers in modern archive management through interactive workshop-based training, intensive mentoring, and direct simulation of the use of digital archiving applications. The implementation methods included participant needs analysis, problem-solving-based module development, digital archive management practice using a cloud system, and pre-test and post-test-based evaluation to measure competency improvement. The results of the activity showed an average increase in participant understanding of 42%, a 58% increase in operational skills in using archiving applications, and a 35% increase in archive management time efficiency. In addition, teachers are able to implement an electronic file classification system in schools and build a database of digitized documents. These activities strengthen transparent and sustainable educational administration, as well as supporting the realization of inclusive and globally competitive education in line with the Asta Cita vision towards Indonesia Emas 2030.

Investments in information technology (IT) often fail to deliver the expected added value due to excessive dependence on external suppliers, inflexible technological systems, or infrastructures that are highly vulnerable to various operational and security risks. This article analyzes organizational strategies to ensure the realization of added value from IT investments through the integration of strategic alignment and comprehensive risk management practices. By implementing strategic alignment, organizations are able to synchronize IT initiatives with core business objectives, organizational processes, and long-term strategic goals. At the same time, effective risk management plays a crucial role in reducing detrimental dependencies, including risks related to data breaches, system failures, cyber threats, and operational disruptions. This approach is supported by an extensive review of literature from credible and relevant academic sources, which demonstrates that systematic risk mitigation can significantly enhance organizational resilience, reliability, and overall value creation from IT investments. As a result, organizations are better positioned to optimize performance, improve decision-making capabilities, and ultimately achieve a sustainable competitive advantage in an increasingly digital business environment.

This article discusses the importance of pluralism and multiculturalism in building a peaceful and harmonious society amid the cultural, religious, and ethnic diversity in Indonesia. Pluralism emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and valuing differences, while multiculturalism asserts that every culture has an equal status and deserves appreciation. These two concepts play a strategic role in strengthening national unity, preventing social conflicts, and fostering tolerance between religious groups and cultural communities in Indonesia. In the context of the existing diversity, the implementation of pluralism and multiculturalism not only strengthens the unity of the nation but also creates an inclusive and just society. Education that integrates these values is key in shaping a generation that appreciates differences and upholds harmony. This article uses a theoretical approach and social analysis to emphasize that pluralism and multiculturalism are the main foundations for the realization of a civilized society that respects differences and lives in unity. Therefore, these values need to be applied in every aspect of social life, education, and public policy.

Social Studies (IPS) learning in elementary schools plays a crucial role in fostering students’ social awareness, which includes understanding social values, developing empathy, and participating responsibly in community life. However, in practice, Social Studies learning often remains theoretical and textbook-centered, making students’ learning experiences less meaningful and disconnected from real-life contexts. To address this issue, utilizing the surrounding environment as a learning resource offers an effective alternative by bringing real social situations into the learning process. This study aims to analyze the concepts, implementation, and impact of environmental utilization on enhancing elementary students’ social awareness. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by reviewing relevant scholarly articles obtained from national and international databases such as Garuda, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, using the keywords “environment as a learning resource in Social Studies” and “students’ social awareness.” The findings reveal that the use of the surrounding environment as a learning resource promotes students’ critical thinking, empathy, and social concern through contextual and participatory learning experiences. Moreover, teachers play a pivotal role in designing project-based and field-observation activities that strengthen the internalization of social values. Therefore, Social Studies learning that integrates environmental resources is proven to be effective in shaping students’ social character from an early age and supports the realization of holistic, active, and life-oriented education.  

Modern education often falls short in nurturing character, as it tends to prioritize cognitive achievement over holistic development producing students who excel academically but lack independence, creativity, and moral strength. This study seeks to explore the concept of Tarbiyah Based on Khudi (Ego/Selfhood) inspired by Muhammad Iqbal, positioning it as a philosophical and pedagogical framework to address the current character crisis and cultivate Independent and Creative individuals toward the realization of Insan Kamil (the Perfect Human). Employing a qualitative method through a library research approach, this study conceptually examines the three fundamental pillars of Khudi development: Obedience (Ita’at)/Discipline, Self-Mastery (Dabt-i-Zabt)/Self-Control, and Vicegerency (Niyabat-i-Ilahiyyah)/Creativity. The findings indicate that Khudi-based Tarbiyah serves as an effective integrative framework. Genuine independence arises from self-control, fostering responsible freedom and autonomy, while creativity embodies the essence of vicegerency through a continuous spirit of Ijtihad that drives social innovation and civilizational progress. Ultimately, Khudi ensures spiritual independence and moral vitality. The study recommends adopting progressive and dynamic learning models such as project-based learning aligned with the Khudi philosophy to integrate affective and psychomotor dimensions into Indonesia’s character education.

The construction of toll roads in Indonesia often causes land acquisition disputes, especially related to compensation for remaining land that is no longer productive. Although Article 65A paragraph (1) of Government Regulation No. 39 of 2023 provides the right for the community to demand compensation for the remaining land, practice on the ground shows a discrepancy between normative rights and the realization of compensation. This research uses a normative legal approach with legislative, conceptual, analytical, and case study methods, and refers to Dean G. Pruitt's Dispute Resolution Theory and Philipus M. Hadjon's Legal Protection Theory. The results of the study show that the non-litigation resolution mechanism (problem solving) is often ineffective due to the lack of education and facilitation from the authorities, so that people tend to take the path of litigation (contending) to fight for their rights. This condition reflects the weak legal protection for people affected by national strategic projects. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen legal education for the community and revise Government Regulation No. 39 of 2023 to include compensation for the remaining land that has lost its use value. This revision is important to ensure substantive justice and prevent the escalation of disputes. This research contributes to the development of a more responsive and equitable land acquisition policy, as well as encourages synergy between regulations, education, and effective dispute resolution mechanisms in the context of national infrastructure development.

This research aims to develop a digital-based governance model for village finance to support the realization of a Smart and Green Village. The study analyzes how digital transformation in village finance management can increase transparency, accountability, and efficiency, while promoting sustainability-oriented budgeting and environmental practices. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was used to identify, evaluate, and synthesize scientific publications from 2022 to 2025, accessed through reputable databases such as ScienceDirect, Springer, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, SAGE, ACM, and IEEE. The review focused on topics including digital governance in villages, digital public finance, smart village development, green budgeting, environmental sustainability, and rural digital transformation. Findings indicate that digital-based village finance governance enhances administrative efficiency, strengthens budget transparency through real-time monitoring, minimizes financial deviation risks, and boosts public participation in fiscal accountability. Integrating digital systems with green budgeting features enables the prioritization of sustainable programs, such as renewable energy, waste management, climate change mitigation, and green infrastructure development. The study suggests a comprehensive digital-based governance model that includes e-budgeting, e-accounting, digital payment systems, public transparency dashboards, and environmental performance indicators to support the implementation of a Smart and Green Village. This research offers strategic insights for village governments, policymakers, and practitioners on the importance of adopting digital governance tools to improve financial management and strengthen sustainable development at the local level.

 The development of major cities in Indonesia, including Medan, is inseparable from complex social, economic, and political dynamics. This transformation often leads to a mismatch between the city's image and its local identity, reduced access to adequate housing, and the decline of public open spaces, particularly in urban fringe areas such as Pulo Brayan. In fact, public spaces play a crucial role in supporting social interaction and ecological functions within a city. This study focuses on the importance of redesigning public space in the Pulo Brayan area using a sustainable architectural approach. The main objective is to create a public space that can address social, economic, and environmental challenges in an integrated manner. The proposed design emphasizes the integration of historical values, active community participation, and ecological functionality to support the realization of sustainable cities, in line with the principles of Sustainable Cities and Communities. Thus, this design is expected to serve as a contextual, inclusive, and sustainable model for public space regeneration.
