Geographical Indications and Legal Protections for Indonesian Livestock Products: A Critical Analysis of Policy and Enforcement

2024-12-10T03:31:57+00:00

As an agricultural country, Indonesia has considerable potential for livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, and processed products. Indonesia's biodiversity and vast territory produce livestock products with distinctive characteristics and uniqueness that differ from similar products made in different regions. To protect against counterfeiting of the origin of livestock products, these products are given markers known as Geographical Indications. This study aims to determine the criteria for livestock products to be registered for Geographical Indications and the benefits of protection of these Geographical Indications. The research method used is normative legal research, which analyzes laws, regulations, and other data to answer this research problem. Livestock products registered for Geographical Indications must be proven to have specific characteristics because of the conditions where the livestock products are produced. Climate, latitude, rainfall, and other factors can affect livestock products. The correlation between regional factors and livestock products brings products with specific characteristics that are different from similar products. Livestock products registered with Geographical Indications benefit consumers by avoiding livestock products not produced from the Geographical Indication area. For producers of livestock products, Geographical Indications are a promotional tool that can increase sales of their products. In addition, Geographical Indications help preserve the environment of the area where livestock products are produced so that the products do not change in quality or characteristics.

Rethinking Consumer Legal Remedies for Damaged Goods Under Protection Fees on E-Commerce Platforms: The Shopee Case Study

2024-12-10T03:32:00+00:00

Over time, globalization has brought significant advancements in technology, especially in e-commerce. In the past, transactions were carried out offline, but with the advent of e-commerce, transactions can now be done online. One such e-commerce application is Shopee, which originated in Singapore and has expanded to countries such as Indonesia. Shopee has introduced a new feature called protection fees. Protection costs are the costs associated with protecting the buyer in the event of damage, subject to certain terms and conditions. However, the cost of protection has become a concern for consumers because they do not receive the compensation to which they are entitled. The research method used in this study is normative legal research. The results of the study show that legal protection for consumers related to damage claims that are subject to protection fees on the Shopee application can be categorized into two forms: internal legal protection based on agreements and external legal protection based on the Consumer Protection Law and the Insurance Law. Dispute resolution for consumers based on Article 45 of the Consumer Protection Law can be pursued through two methods: non-litigation and litigation. The non-litigation method involves resolving external disputes through the Consumer Dispute Resolution Institution (BPSK) using mediation. If an agreement is not reached, litigation can proceed through legal channels, with consumers filing lawsuits based on breach of contract.

Legal Perspectives on Debtor's Responsibility in Fiduciary Guarantee Violations Under the Inbezitstelling Doctrine

2024-12-16T15:19:33+00:00

A fiduciary guarantee is a type of special guarantee based on article 1132 which is included in material guarantees interpreted as absolute rights. In Indonesia, there are cases of default committed by debtors against debtors on fiduciary guarantees. Among the incidents that took place in Indonesia is the case in Decision Number 27/Pdt.G.S/2022/PN SGN. In this case, default occurred because the debtor did not fulfill his obligation to pay installments 3 times and did not hand over the fiduciary guarantee object after defaulting in paying off his debt. The urgency of this research is related to the responsibility of the defaulting debtor and the handover of the fiduciary guarantee object based on the legal principle of guarantees, namely the principle of inbezitstelling. To analyze this case, a qualitative method and a normative juridical approach were used by applying the Case Approach, the Legislation Approach, and the Conceptual Approach. This is because this research is based on doctrine, library sources and analyzes real cases that are related to the law. The creditor's rights are not fulfilled by the debtor based on the principal agreement between the two parties, so that the debtor must fulfill the principal agreement in the form of handing over the fiduciary guarantee object.

Rethinking Regulations: Unlocking the Potential of Small-Scale Public-Private Partnerships in Infrastructure Development

2024-12-27T13:09:25+00:00

Implementation of infrastructure development often faces bureaucratic and funding challenges. To address these issues, the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) launched the Small-Scale Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme, as regulated by the Minister of National Development Planning/Bappenas Head Regulation No. 7 of 2023. This scheme aims to facilitate and accelerate infrastructure development in regions with limited budgets, such as the street lighting project in Madiun, which uses the Availability Payment scheme. This study employs a normative juridical method with a conceptual and legislative approach to analyze the renewal of regulations governing Small-Scale PPPs. The main focus is on the legal clarity and implementation of this scheme, which still requires refinement. Although the Small-Scale PPP has a legal basis, existing regulations need to be updated to address the various practical and bureaucratic obstacles. The study recommends strengthening the role of the central government in supporting the implementation of Small-Scale PPPs and revising Article 85 of the Minister of National Development Planning/Bappenas Head Regulation No. 7 of 2023 to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of this scheme's implementation.

This research aims to find out the facts and reasons/factors for providing support by husbands who work as singers who resemble women. Also to find out the Deli Serdang MUI's view of the legal status of alimony provided by husbands who work as singers in Patumbak District. In the context of income for family support, a Muslim needs to choose a job or business that does not conflict with religious principles. However, some husbands choose to do work that is involved in things that Allah hates. For one reason of economic livelihood, some men choose to imitate the appearance of women in the world of entertainment because they believe this will increase their appeal to audiences, especially in entertainment genres that emphasize visual appearance. Thus, it is important to know the legal status of the income generated from this work. The method used is empirical legal research with a qualitative approach. The primary data source is from an in-depth interview (Deep Interview) with the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI Deli Serdang Regency) and her husband who works as a singer dressed as a woman to earn a living in Patumbak sub-district, Deli Serdang district. Research findings show that the factors that cause husbands to choose to work as singers who dress like women are economic reasons and the lack of work with sufficient salary to meet the family's needs. Legal Status: The livelihood provided by the process of obtaining it violates the law, so the results are haram. His work is haram and the results are haram, so the legal status of the income he provides to his family is haram, just like we give shopping to our parents' children and wives in an unlawful way.

The Legal Imperative of Bawaslu's Oversight in Enforcing Verdict Compliance

2025-01-23T13:37:27+00:00

Election is a democratic means to elect leaders and representatives of the people, where Bawaslu has a strategic role as an election supervisory institution. Bawaslu is tasked with ensuring that each stage of the election is in accordance with laws and regulations, with the legal basis listed in Law No. 7 of 2017. As a quasi-judicial institution, Bawaslu has the authority to issue decisions that are final and binding. However, in practice, the implementation of follow-up to Bawaslu decisions often faces challenges, such as disobedience or suboptimal implementation by the KPU and related parties. This study aims to examine the urgency of legal certainty in supervising the implementation of Bawaslu decisions and to determine the ideal model of supervision to fulfill the principle of legal certainty. The method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach, with primary and secondary data sources. The results of the study show that there is a legal vacuum that hinders the optimal implementation of the decision. Therefore, this study emphasizes the urgency of an integrated supervision model with strict evaluation and sanction mechanisms, which can increase compliance with Bawaslu decisions and ensure the implementation of elections in accordance with legal provisions.

Integrating Customary Criminal Sanctions in The Resolution of Domestic Violence in Maluku

2025-01-24T01:57:07+00:00

This study aims to examine the existence of customary criminal sanctions in resolving domestic violence (DV) cases in Maluku, particularly in the West Seram Regency. The research employs an empirical approach with a socio-legal model, combining the analysis of primary field data with a review of relevant legal literature. The high prevalence of domestic violence in Maluku, which continues to rise annually, raises significant concerns within society. This phenomenon not only affects victims physically and psychologically but also exacerbates social stigma against women and children who experience violence. Patriarchal culture in Indonesia reinforces gender inequality, where men are often viewed as dominant, normalizing violence against women in some instances. Additionally, victims' economic dependence on perpetrators further aggravates their situations. In Maluku, customary law plays a crucial role in community life, including in addressing domestic conflicts. However, the dominance of national criminal law, introduced during the colonial era, has marginalized the role of customary law. Despite this, in certain areas, such as West Seram Regency, customary criminal sanctions continue to be utilized for resolving domestic violence cases. The findings reveal that some customary communities in Maluku still practice traditional mechanisms to resolve DV cases. These mechanisms involve imposing customary sanctions, such as property compensation or community labor, aimed at restoring social and cosmic balance. While these practices are widely accepted within customary communities, they have limitations in addressing justice and trauma recovery for victims. The approach often emphasizes material resolutions without adequately addressing the psychological and social rehabilitation of victims.
