TINJAUAN HUKUM INTERNASIONAL TERHADAP DINAMIKA PENERAPAN HUKUM DARURAT DAN PEMBATASAN HAM DI THAILAND SELATAN DAN ACEH
Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika penerapan hukum darurat serta pembatasan hak asasi manusia (HAM) di Thailand Selatan dan Aceh dalam tinjauan hukum internasional. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang- undangan, konseptual, dan komparatif, serta mengacu pada instrumen hukum internasional seperti International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Convention Against Torture (CAT), dan prinsip-prinsip Siracusa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hukum internasional memperbolehkan pembatasan HAM dalam kondisi darurat, namun harus memenuhi prinsip legalitas, proporsionalitas, kebutuhan, dan non-diskriminasi, serta bersifat sementara. Penerapan hukum darurat di Thailand Selatan cenderung tidak memenuhi prinsip-prinsip tersebut, terutama terkait akuntabilitas, proporsionalitas, dan jangka waktu penerapan yang berkepanjangan, sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan pelanggaran HAM. Sebaliknya, Indonesia menunjukkan perkembangan yang lebih progresif melalui penyelesaian konflik Aceh dengan pendekatan dialog dan rekonsiliasi, yang lebih sejalan dengan standar hukum internasional. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya pengawasan yang ketat, transparansi, serta pendekatan berbasis hak asasi manusia dalam penerapan kebijakan keamanan guna mencegah penyalahgunaan kekuasaan dalam situasi darurat. Kata Kunci: Hak Asasi Manusia; Hukum Darurat; Hukum Internasional; Konflik Separatis

PERAN PENGAWASAN DPRD KOTA SURABAYA DALAM PENYELESAIAN KONFLIK PENGELOLAAN AIR BERSIH ANTAR PDAM SURYA SEMBADA DENGAN PENGEMBANG PERUMAHAN ELIT
This study examines the dynamics of water resource governance in Surabaya, focusing on the conflict of interest between PDAM Surya Sembada and elite housing developers in West and South Surabaya. The research is driven by the phenomenon of independent water management by developers, which remains unintegrated with the PDAM network. This practice raises critical legal concerns regarding Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, creates service disparities between elite residents and the general public, and threatens Regional Original Income (PAD). Using a qualitative approach involving hearing mechanisms and field observations, the study analyzes the conflict’s regulatory, economic, and technical roots while evaluating the Surabaya City DPRD’s supervisory effectiveness. The findings reveal that while developers seek to maintain exclusive service standards, such autonomy violates principles of social justice and state water sovereignty. In response, the DPRD’s Commission A facilitated mediation through Public Hearings (RDP). The study concludes that the enactment of Surabaya City Regulation No. 1 of 2025 serves as a strategic solution, mandating service integration into the PDAM network to ensure community rights and legal certainty in public utility management. Keywords: DPRD Supervision, Water Management Conflict, PDAM Surya Sembada, Elite Housing Developer, Social Justice

ANALISIS PUTUSAN NOMOR 143/PID.B/2019/PN SBS TERHADAP TINDAK PIDANA PELAKSANAAN PERKAWINAN TANPA IZIN ISTRI SAH MENURUT HUKUM PIDANA
Obtaining consent from the first wife is a mandatory requirement for polygamy in Indonesia; this requirement must be fulfilled in accordance with statutory provisions. Conducting a subsequent marriage without the legal wife's consent is a punishable offense under Article 279 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code, as seen in Case Decision Number 143/Pid.B/2019/PN Sbs. In this case, the defendant, Kurnia, entered into a marriage with Doni Friansyah without the knowledge or consent of Doni's first wife. The Public Prosecutor charged Kurnia using a single indictment under Article 279 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code. This study aims to determine whether the defendant's actions aligned with the elements of the charged article and whether the prosecution's legal qualification was appropriate. Using a normative legal research method with statutory and case approaches, the results indicate that the defendant's actions did not meet the elements of Article 279 paragraph (1) 1st, as she was not previously bound by marriage. The defendant's actions should have more appropriately been qualified under Article 279 paragraph (1) 2nd of the Criminal Code. Kata kunci : Judge's Verdict, Marriage Without Wife’s Consent, Prosecutor’s Indictment

URGENSI PENGUATAN KERANGKA HUKUM TINDAK PIDANA PERDAGANGAN ORANG : STUDI KOMPARATIF HUKUM INDONESIA DAN AUSTRALIA
This research examines the comparison of legal frameworks in combating human trafficking (TPPO) between Indonesia (Law No. 21 of 2007) and Australia (Criminal Code Act 1995, as amended in 2026). The study aims to compare fundamental differences and formulate strategies for strengthening domestic regulations through legal transplantation. The research method employed is normative legal research, utilizing statutory, comparative, and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that the legal framework regarding human trafficking in Indonesia is still heavily influenced by conventional criminal law patterns that are repressive in nature. Conversely, Australia has adopted a multi-track strategy that integrates criminal sanctions with administrative preventive mechanisms through the Modern Slavery Act 2018. To strengthen national law, this research proposes the insertion of specific clauses in Law No. 21 of 2007 regarding the urgency of "Mandatory Transparency Reporting" for the business sector to terminate the involvement of industrial supply chains in human trafficking practices. The implementation of this idea serves as a concrete manifestation of the Palermo Protocol mandate, which Indonesia has ratified, to provide more responsive victim protection through a public monitoring system in Indonesia.

EFEKTIVITAS PENYELENGGARAAN PERIZINAN REKLAME DI KOTA SURABAYA
This study is motivated by the continued occurrence of violations in billboard administration in Kota Surabaya despite the issuance of the latest regulation through Mayor Regulation Number 107 of 2024 concerning Billboard Administration. This condition indicates that the implementation of licensing and supervision policies has not been fully effective. The main issues are reflected in the lack of optimal coordination between the Dinas Penanaman Modal dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu and the Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja Kota Surabaya, limited supervisory capacity, and the low level of business compliance with licensing requirements. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of billboard licensing administration and to identify inhibiting factors as well as improvement efforts in its implementation. This research employs an empirical legal method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with relevant institutions, document analysis, and a review of applicable laws and regulations. The analysis applies the theory of legal effectiveness and policy implementation to assess the alignment between regulatory norms and actual practices. The findings reveal that the implementation of billboard licensing remains suboptimal due to limited human resources, lack of integrated licensing data systems, and weak field supervision. Nevertheless, the latest regulation provides a clearer procedural and enforcement framework. In conclusion, improving the effectiveness of billboard administration requires strengthening inter-agency coordination, optimizing electronic licensing systems, and enhancing legal awareness among business actors to achieve orderly administration and legal certainty

ANALISIS YURIDIS TERHADAP PUTUSAN MAHKAMAH KONSTITUSI NOMOR 16/PUU-XXII/2024 TENTANG LEGAL STANDING DALAM PEMBUBARAN PARTAI POLITIK DITINJAU DARI PRINSIP NEGARA DEMOKRASI
The problem in this study arises from the limitation of legal standing for submitting the dissolution of political parties, which is exclusively granted to the government as regulated in Article 68 paragraph (1) of Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court, as amended by Law Number 7 of 2020. This provision has sparked a constitutional debate because it restricts citizens’ participation in the oversight mechanism of political parties within a democratic state system. This study aims to analyze the legal considerations in Constitutional Court Decision Number 16/PUU-XXII/2024 regarding the legal standing in the dissolution of political parties, as well as to examine the legal consequences of this decision from the perspective of democratic state principles. The research method applied is a normative legal research using statutory approach, case approach, and conceptual approach. The legal sources consist of primary legal materials, namely legislation and Constitutional Court decisions, and secondary legal materials, including literature and scholarly articles. The analysis is conducted qualitatively using a perspective-based analytical technique. The results of the study show that the Constitutional Court upheld the provision that only the government has legal standing to submit a political party dissolution. This consideration is based on the principles of caution, constitutional stability, and the special nature of the authority to dissolve political parties. In conclusion, the decision does not expand the legal standing of citizens, so public access to submitting the dissolution of political parties remains limited, even though the principle of popular sovereignty

TINJAUAN YURIDIS TENTANG PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM BAGI NASABAH ATAS PELANGGARAN KERAHASIAAN BANK OLEH OKNUM PEGAWAI BANK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perlindungan hukum bagi nasabah atas pelanggaran kerahasiaan data pribadi yang dilakukan oleh oknum pegawai bank serta pertanggungjawaban hukum terhadap pelaku. Prinsip kerahasiaan bank sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 10 Tahun 1998 tentang Perbankan mewajibkan bank menjaga informasi nasabah, yang juga diperkuat oleh Undang-Undang Perbankan, Undang-Undang Nomor 4 Tahun 2023 tentang Pengembangan dan Penguatan Sektor Keuangan, serta Peraturan Otoritas Jasa Keuangan terkait rahasia bank. Namun, dalam praktiknya masih terjadi penyalahgunaan data nasabah yang menimbulkan kerugian materiil maupun immateriil. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan hukum bagi nasabah dapat dilakukan melalui upaya preventif dan represif. Upaya preventif dilakukan melalui pengaturan hukum dan pengawasan terhadap kegiatan perbankan, sedangkan upaya represif dilakukan melalui mekanisme pengaduan, gugatan perdata, dan penerapan sanksi pidana. Pertanggungjawaban hukum terhadap pelaku pelanggaran meliputi tanggung jawab pidana, perdata, dan administratif. Selain itu, bank juga dapat dimintai pertanggungjawaban berdasarkan prinsip tanggung jawab pengganti (vicarious liability) atas perbuatan pegawainya. Dengan demikian, perlindungan hukum yang efektif diperlukan untuk menjamin hak nasabah serta menjaga kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap lembaga perbankan.

PERBANDINGAN PENGALIHAN HAK MILIK ASET KRIPTO MELALUI WARIS MENURUT HUKUM PERDATA INDONESIA DAN DELAWARE CODE
Advances in information technology have given rise to digital assets in the form of cryptocurrencies, which possess economic value and are increasingly held by the public. This situation raises new legal issues in the context of inheritance, particularly regarding the transfer of ownership through inheritance of cryptocurrency assets, which are intangible, decentralised, and dependent on the control of private keys. Under Indonesian civil law, although the Civil Code stipulates that all property rights of the deceased pass to the heirs upon death, there are no explicit provisions regarding the mechanism for the transfer of ownership of cryptocurrency assets through inheritance, thereby creating legal ambiguity and uncertainty. This study aims to analyse and compare the legal provisions, mechanisms, and legal consequences of the transfer of ownership of cryptocurrency assets through inheritance under Indonesian civil law and the Delaware Code (State of Delaware, United States). The analysis was conducted qualitatively through a review of primary and secondary legal materials using grammatical, systematic, formal, and comparative interpretation methods, which were subsequently analysed prescriptively. The results of the study indicate that Indonesian law has not yet provided adequate legal certainty and remains dependent on platform policies, whereas Delaware already has clearer and more adaptive regulations. Therefore, legal reform is required to ensure certainty and the protection of heirs’ rights.

ANALISIS YURIDIS PUTUSAN HAKIM MAHKAMAH AGUNG NOMOR 779 K/PDT/2020 TERKAIT PENGGUNAAN ALAT BUKTI FOTOKOPI SERTIFIKAT HAK MILIK
This study aims to analyze the Supreme Court's legal considerations in matters of the evidentiary value of photocopies of ownership certificates, namely matters that place the burden of proof on the party presenting the argument, and to examine the legal consequences for plaintiffs who are unable to prove their arguments in land ownership disputes. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach and a case approach. The legal materials used consist of primary legal materials such as legislation, as well as secondary legal materials in the form of court decisions and relevant legal literature. The results of the study show that the Supreme Court, through Decision Number 779 K/Pdt/2020, consistently applies this principle of evidence. The plaintiff's inability to present stronger and more convincing evidence resulted in his claim of ownership not being proven and being declared legally unfounded. This decision emphasizes the importance of applying the principle of evidence in civil cases, particularly land rights disputes, in order to ensure legal certainty and justice for the parties. Photocopies of ownership certificates whose authenticity cannot be verified do not have full evidentiary value and therefore cannot be used as a valid basis for rejecting seizure of collateral. In fact, in situations where the status of the land is uncertain, seizure of collateral is an appropriate legal measure to maintain the status quo of the disputed object and ensure the effectiveness of the decision, while protecting the rights of the threatened party.

TINJAUAN YURIDIS TERHADAP PENGATURAN MINUMAN BERALKOHOL PADA PERATURAN DAERAH KOTA SURABAYA NOMOR 1 TAHUN 2023 TENTANG PERDAGANGAN DAN PERINDUSTRIAN
This research identifies and analyzes the legal framework of alcoholic beverage regulations in Surabaya, specifically focusing on the Regional Regulation of Surabaya City Number 1 of 2023. The study is driven by the urgent need to address the social, health, and security impacts of alcohol distribution in a major metropolitan area while ensuring legal certainty for business actors. Using a normative legal research method with statutory and conceptual approaches, this study examines the consistency of local norms with higher-level national regulations. The findings reveal that the regulation introduces a more structured classification and a risk-based licensing mechanism, aligning with the Job Creation Law framework. However, the effectiveness of these norms is challenged by the persistence of informal distribution channels and the need for rigorous administrative supervision. The study concludes that while the regulation provides a solid legal basis for public order, enhanced inter-agency coordination is required to mitigate illegal trade. This research offers recommendations for the Surabaya City Government to optimize enforcement through both administrative sanctions and public education.
