Legal analysis of the urgency of determining the free papua organization (OPM) as a perpetrator of gross human rights violations in Indonesia
Purpose: This study analyzes the urgency of determining the Free Papua Movement (OPM) as a perpetrator of gross human rights violations in Indonesia from a legal perspective. The main focus of the study is to understand and examine the legal consequences and social impacts of the determination in efforts to enforce justice and protect human rights in Indonesia.
Research/methodology: This study uses a normative legal research method with a descriptive-analytical approach that relies on secondary data from legal literature, laws and regulations, and the opinions of legal experts.
Results: The results of the study show that OPM has committed various acts of violence that violate human rights, including murder, torture, and kidnapping. Determining OPM as a perpetrator of gross human rights violations is considered important to uphold the principles of justice and equality before the law, in accordance with national and international legal standards.

Factors influencing the attraction of foreign direct investment to the economies of developing countries
Purpose: The author would like to thank all researchers and institutions whose empirical studies and theoretical contributions have shaped the understanding of FDI determinants in developing countries. Appreciation is also extended to the academic databases and journal publishers that provided open access to critical literature.
Research methodology: This study employs a qualitative analytical approach grounded in an extensive review of empirical and theoretical literature on foreign direct investment (FDI), with a focus on the OLI paradigm and the Knowledge-Capital Model. Data were drawn from 40 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024, selected from reputable academic databases using targeted keywords related to FDI determinants. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key variables such as market size, institutional quality, and infrastructure, highlighting regional patterns and sectoral distinctions.
Results: The OLI paradigm remains a key framework for understanding FDI, with recent studies showing that host-country factors such as market size, GDP growth, and skilled labor availability play crucial roles in attracting investment. While low labor costs can drive FDI in manufacturing, high-tech sectors prioritize productivity and human capital. Tax incentives and natural resources can also influence FDI, but their effectiveness depends on broader institutional and regulatory conditions. Additionally, strong intellectual property rights are essential for securing investment in innovation-driven industries.
Conclusions: In developing countries, FDI determinants have shifted from reliance on natural resources and low-skilled labor to a greater emphasis on skilled labor, digital infrastructure, and institutional quality. To attract high-value FDI, scholars emphasize the need for a balanced strategy that includes improving education systems, advancing digital readiness, and fostering innovation ecosystems.
Limitations: This study is limited by its reliance on secondary data and qualitative analysis, which may not fully capture dynamic, country-specific investment behaviors.
