Jurisdiction in Intellectual Property Disputes
Get PDFObjectives: This study seeks to highlight what international jurisdiction in intellectual property disputes is contractual or non-contractual, in order to identify problems related to the subject, including specific controls, and the extent to which the governing rules relate to public order. The scope of the research is limited to the relevant provisions of the Convention and of the law, indicating the position of the Iraqi and Egyptian legislature and referring to certain French and other laws. There are two types of disputes raised by intellectual property rights. The first is violations such as theft and others. The second is disputes arising from contractual relations and breaches of obligations by one of the parties to the relationship.
Method: In this study, we will attempt to follow a scientific methodology based on the analysis and discussion of legal texts, jurisprudence and jurisprudence on the subject of the study in order to obtain a legal opinion and an integrated view of the subject.
Result: Determining the jurisdiction of national courts in the settlement of intellectual property disputes is not a problem in the event of a national dispute but in the event that it includes a foreign element, the conflict of jurisdiction is problematic and is resolved through objective or personal controls. In the event that the parties agree to resolve the dispute by arbitration, the jurisdiction might be decided by determining the law applicable to the dispute or might be invoked through contract clauses, citizenship, or other controls.
Conclusion: we consider that the development of laws and legislation protecting contractual and non-contractual intellectual property rights is very slow to keep pace with violations

NAVIGATING CLEAN WATER CHALLENGES: ASSESSING STRATEGIES AND OUTCOMES IN BALI'S PAMSIMAS PROGRAM
Get PDFObjective: This study investigates the impact of the Community-Based Drinking Water and Sanitation Provision Program (Pamsimas Program), implemented in Bali from 2017 to 2021, on improving access to clean drinking water and sanitation in rural communities.
Theoretical framework: It draws on the S-shape and Inverted L-shape curves to emphasize planned interventions and incentives, while the Theory of Change guides program evaluation by explaining how interventions lead to outcomes. Employing a five-stage results chain, the program focuses on inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and long-term impacts.
Method: Through a comprehensive analysis of the program's effectiveness, we employ a natural experiment approach using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and Multinomial Ordered Logit/Probit regression. The study compares villages receiving Pamsimas interventions in 2019, 2020, and 2021 with non-intervention villages, employing data from the 2014, 2018, and 2021 Village Potential Census (Podes).
Results and conclusion: The findings reveal that Pamsimas significantly influences the choice of water sources and sanitation practices in beneficiary villages. The estimated marginal effects demonstrate a substantial improvement in water quality and sanitation in program-receiving villages compared to control villages. The paper concludes that the Pamsimas Program, by targeting easily achievable improvements, aligns with the pragmatic trend in development economics and provides valuable insights for future water and sanitation interventions.
Originality/value: The analysis, guided by the paradigm shift in development economics towards pragmatic and low-hanging fruit solutions, positions Pamsimas as an effective strategy despite not being as cost-effective as certain health programs.Este estudio investiga el impacto del Programa Pamsimas, implementado en Bali desde 2017 hasta 2021, en la mejora del acceso a agua potable y saneamiento en comunidades rurales. Utilizando una cadena de resultados de cinco etapas, el programa se centra en insumos, actividades, resultados, impactos y efectos a largo plazo. A través de un análisis integral de la efectividad del programa, empleamos un enfoque de experimento natural utilizando Propensity Score Matching (PSM) y regresión logística/probit ordenada multinomial. El estudio compara las aldeas que recibieron intervenciones de Pamsimas en 2019, 2020 y 2021 con aldeas no intervenidas, utilizando datos del Censo Potencial de Aldeas (Podes) de 2014, 2018 y 2021. Los hallazgos revelan que Pamsimas influye significativamente en la elección de fuentes de agua y prácticas de saneamiento en las aldeas beneficiarias. Los efectos marginales estimados demuestran una mejora sustancial en la calidad del agua y el saneamiento en las aldeas que reciben el programa en comparación con las aldeas de control. El análisis, guiado por el cambio de paradigma en la economía del desarrollo hacia soluciones pragmáticas y de bajo costo, posiciona a Pamsimas como una estrategia efectiva a pesar de no ser tan rentable como ciertos programas de salud. El artículo concluye que el Programa Pamsimas, al dirigirse a mejoras fácilmente alcanzables, se alinea con la tendencia pragmática en la economía del desarrollo y proporciona ideas valiosas para futuras intervenciones en agua y saneamiento
Highlighting the State of Correctional Institutions in Indonesia After the Prisoner Assimilation Policy in The Covid-19 Pandemic
Get PDFPurpose: The purpose of this research is to show the condition of correctional institutions in Indonesia after the Covid-19 outbreak, where at that time the government implemented an assimilation policy as a limitation on social distancing.
Theoretical framework: The problem of criminal implementation in Indonesia has received ongoing attention. The implementation of punishment should be adjusted to correctional standards in accordance with correctional objectives which cannot be separated from the rights of prisoners which are difficult to achieve in conditions of overcapacity.
Design/methodology/approach: This research is qualitative by drawing conclusions based on the orientation of data output from the Indonesian Directorate General of Corrections. Where the author will provide conclusions on the condition of correctional institutions after the 2020 assimilation policy, which has pros and cons in society, whether it will have a positive effect in the long term or not. If we refer to global correctional standards, the amount of capacity is the basis for assessing the achievement of correctional goals.
Findings: Based on Permenkumham Number 32 of 2020 regarding assimilation as a policy to limit social distancing and protect the rights of prisoners during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been shown that something that is considered a good answer to the overcapacity of prisons in almost all regional offices in Indonesia is in fact not providing significant change. Data from correctional institutions in all provincial regional offices in Indonesia shows that the total number of inmates in 2019 was 199,965 inmates, in 2020 there were 205,484 and in 2022 there were 225,877 inmates with a maximum capacity of 137,031.
Research, Practical & Social implications: The problem of criminal implementation is in the spotlight due to overcapacity in almost all correctional institutions. It would be best for the government, in this case the Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights, to look for alternatives to criminal enforcement in the future.
Originality/value: The research results show that the condition of prisons after the Covid-19 pandemic has not shown any changes to date. The hope of assimilation as an answer to the problem of overcapacity is not in line with the large number of prisoners held in 33 provinces as regional offices implementing corrections
Revitalization of Village Autonomy Based on The Principle of Subsidiarity and Village-Scale Local Authority in Natural Resource Management
Get PDFObjectives: The objective of this research is to explore and advocate for the revitalization of village autonomy, particularly through the principle of subsidiarity and village-scale local authority. It aims to analyze the current state of village autonomy within the framework of the Village Law, with a focus on managing natural resources at the local level.
Methods: This research employs a normative approach to examine the legal and political aspects of village autonomy, specifically within the context of the principle of subsidiarity. It involves an analysis of existing legal frameworks, particularly the Village Law, to understand the dynamics of state and village relations concerning the management of natural resources. Additionally, the research investigates how the principle of subsidiarity can be applied to empower villages in managing resources within their jurisdiction.
Results: The findings of this research indicate that the principle of subsidiarity can serve as a foundational concept for regulating village-scale local authority. It suggests that village autonomy, particularly in managing natural resources like regional forests, mangrove forests, small islands, coastal areas, and marine areas, can be bolstered through the application of this principle. The research highlights that village autonomy should not only be declarative but also constitutive, allowing villages to expand their authority over specific natural resources.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the revitalization of village autonomy, guided by the principle of subsidiarity and village-scale local authority, emerges as a viable legal and political alternative. By emphasizing the handover of certain natural resource management responsibilities from the state to villages, as regulated by law, this approach seeks to strengthen village authority and promote effective resource management at the local level
