Efforts to protect children who are victims of sexual violence crimes in Mesuji Regency have been carried out through the establishment of the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children (UPTD PPA). However, in practice, cases of sexual violence against children continue to occur. This study aims to analyze the role of the UPTD PPA of Mesuji Regency in fulfilling the rights of child victims of sexual violence crimes and to identify the factors that hinder the implementation of this role. This research employs normative juridical and empirical approaches. Data were collected through literature review and field studies, with informants consisting of the Head of the Mesuji Regency Office for Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection, the Head of the UPTD PPA of Mesuji Regency, and a lecturer in criminal law from the Faculty of Law, University of Lampung. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively. The results show that, normatively, the role of the UPTD PPA of Mesuji Regency has been implemented based on the prevailing laws and regulations, including the Child Protection Law, the Law on Sexual Violence Crimes, and regulations concerning the UPTD PPA. Factually, the UPTD PPA carries out preventive, handling, and recovery efforts through legal, medical, and psychological protection for child victims. However, the implementation of this role has not been optimal due to several inhibiting factors, namely limitations in human resources, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, low community participation and awareness, and cultural factors characterized by individualism. This study recommends optimizing the performance of the UPTD PPA through improvements in human resources, facilities and infrastructure, and strengthening community involvement in child protection.

Sexual violence against children is a highly complex issue with profound negative impacts on both the victims and their social environment. Children with disabilities, particularly those with Down Syndrome, are among the most vulnerable to such abuse due to their physical and cognitive limitations. Given this context, the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Child Protection Agency (LPA) becomes crucial. LPA plays a vital role in providing support, advocacy, and assistance to child victims of sexual violence, especially those with disabilities. This study aims to examine the protective role of LPA in assisting children with Down Syndrome who have become victims of sexual violence in Deli Serdang Regency. Using a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, the research explores and interprets the lived experiences of informants involved in the cases. The study also highlights the implementation of the four child protection principles as applied by the LPA. The findings show that LPA fulfills its protective role by providing legal assistance, psychosocial support, and ensuring the safety of the victims. The organization successfully implemented the four child protection principles, resulting in a 12-year prison sentence for the perpetrator and justice for the victim. The study recommends increasing LPA staff capacity to enhance the quality of services provided.

The refugee crisis experienced by Bangladesh due to the mass exodus of Rohingya refugees fleeing ethnic conflict in Myanmar is one of the largest refugee issues in the world. This crisis needs to be addressed immediately as it can threaten the lives of both the local population and the refugees themselves. Overcrowded shelters, housing nearly 1 million refugees with half of the population being children, increase the risk of disease transmission and violence, which can be a deadly combination for children. Therefore, to tackle the refugee problem, especially in fulfilling the rights of Rohingya children in Bangladesh, international actors' assistance is urgently needed. One of the organizations involved is UNICEF. UNICEF strives to provide aid in line with its capabilities and functions as an international organization focused on children and women. The aid provided by UNICEF is in the form of foreign aid or humanitarian assistance, divided into two types: material assistance and technical assistance. Material assistance includes the provision of clean water, food, hygiene supplies, education, and shelter. Technical assistance is provided through protection, training, and counseling. In its efforts to meet the needs of Rohingya refugee children, UNICEF has established the "UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action for Children in Bangladesh: Rohingya Influx" program, covering several sectors, including Child Protection, Health, Education, Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), and Nutrition. The humanitarian assistance provided aligns with the stipulations of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) regarding the fulfillment of the rights of refugee children.

Permasalahan tentang waris sering muncul saat akan dilakukan pembagian harta warisan salah satunya apabila terdapat ahli waris yang merupakan anak yang tidak cakap hukum. Masalah warisan telah menjadi sebuah permasalahan dalam masyarakat Indonesia yang sangat beragam. Sebagai masyarakat tentunya kita akan berpegang teguh pada aturan maupun ketentuan hukum mengenai waris seperti ketentuan Hukum Perdata (B.W.) khususnya menyangkut permasalahan Hukum Waris. Di dalam suatu peraturan perundang-undangan anak yang tidak cakap hukum semestinya memiliki kedudukan hukum yang sama dengan para ahli waris lainnya selama memiliki hubungan pewarisan terhadapnya, dan memiliki kedudukan sebagai ahli waris terhadap ayah dan/atau ibunya atau sebagai ahli waris pengganti orang tuanya, sehingga perlindungan hukum yang di berikan kepada anakyang tidak cakap hukum telah diatur dalam peraturan perundang – undangan. Kedudukan anak yang tidak cakap hukum dalam pembagian harta waris merupakan hak yang tidak dapat dihilangkan atau di gantikan selama anak tersebut masih hidup, sehingga tidak ada alasan yang  dapat digunakan untuk tidak memberikan hak atas anak yang tidak cakap hukum.Apabila si anak tidak dapat melakukan suatu perbuatan hukum maka orang tuanya yang diberi kekuasaan untuk menjalankan kekuasaan sebagai orang tua untuk dapat mewakili anak yang tidak cakap hukum dalam melakukan perbuatan hukum di dalam maupun di luar persidangan. Orang tua yang di berikan kekuasaan sebagai pelaksana kekuasaan orang tua memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mengelola dan menjamin harta anak tidak cakap hukum untuk tidak dialihkan kepada pihak lain dalam bentuk apa pun sebelum anak yang tidak cakap hukum dinyatakan mampu mengelolanya sendiri dan dinyatakan cakap oleh hukum.

Abstract Child exploitation is one of the most serious cases. Triggered by increasingly advanced and widespread globalization, child exploitation in Thailand continued to increase from 2019 to 2022. As a country that has long ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Thailand's determination to resolve child exploitation cases is questionable. This article examines the effectiveness of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Thailand from 2019 to 2022, using Arild Underdal's perspective on the effectiveness of the regime and explaining it clearly. The results of this study show that the Convention on the Rights of the Child that has been ratified by Thailand has not yet been fully enforced. This is evidenced by a steady increase every year from 2019 to 2022. This shows that child exploitation cannot be solved with current laws.

The purpose of this writing is to identify, study and analyze procedural diversion for children in conflict with the law in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. In this paper the author uses the normative juridical method. In the conclusion of the discussion, children who are in conflict with the law are considered as legal subjects who are not competent and do not understand what they are doing. Investigation of child cases is carried out by investigators appointed by Decree of the Head of the Indonesian National Police or other officials appointed by the Head of the Indonesian National Police. If the Diversion succeeds in reaching an agreement, the Investigator will submit the Minutes of Diversion along with the Diversion Agreement to the head of the district court for stipulation. Meanwhile, if the Diversion process fails, the Investigator must continue the investigation and transfer the case to the Public Prosecutor by attaching the Minutes of Diversion and minutes of community research. Arrested children must be entrusted to the LPKS. The cost for each child placed in the LPKS is borne by the budget of the ministry that administers government affairs in the social sector. The role of diversion as an effort to protect the rights of children's rights is expected to solve the problems of children who are in conflict with the law. When a child is faced with a formal criminal justice process, it is certain that the child will lose his freedom. By diverting, the freedom of children is still guaranteed, and the deprivation of independence for them can be avoided. Diversion is a very meaningful effort to provide protection for children who are in conflict with the law so that they can fulfill the basic rights of children.

Akta kelahiran adalah hak anak dalam mendapatkan identitas hukum. Pemenuhan atas hak anak dalam mendapatkan akta kelahiran merupakan kewajiban bagi pemerintah daerah untuk dapat merealisasikannya. BPS Kota Semarang mencatat jumlah penduduk usia 0-19 tahun sebanyak 127.834 jiwa. Diantra jumlah tersebut terdapat usia 0-18 tahun termasuk dalam kategori anak. Undang-undang nomor 35 btahun 2014 merumuskan anak adalah penduduk usia 0-18 tahun. Persentase kepemilikan Akta Kelahiran Kota Semarang pada tahun 2021 sebesar 80,44 persen. Jumlah ini jika menilik dari target nasional sebera 80 persen telah memenuhi syarat. Jika dilihat dari sebaran berdasarkan kecamatan, terdapat 7 kecamatan yang  kepemilikan akta kelahiran berada di bawah rata-rata yaitu Kecamatan Semarang Utara, Gayamsari, Pedurungan, Semarang Selatan, Gungungpati dan Tugu. Upaya meningkatkan cakupan persentase ini dilakukan dengan melibatkan organisasi Pendidikan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) di Tingkat Kecamatan. Peran organisasi ini cukup vital karena memiliki unit organisasi terkecil hingga Rukun Tetangga (RT). Permasalahan yang masih dihadapi oleh masyarakat dalam pengurusan akta kelahiran ini menyangkut budaya. Pengurusan biasanya dilakukan setelah puput pusar yaitu 40 hari sejak dilahirkan, padahal pemerintah daerah sudah mempermudah layanan hingga one day service. Tujuan pemberdayaan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pengurus PKK dalam meningkatkan cakupan akta kelahiran anak.
