Full text linkThrough years of practice, embassies are considered the pillar of the diplomatic system, which faced developments of methods recently heavily influenced by internet optimization. It is reflected in the growing practices of non-physical embassies that raised the issue of whether or not those practices are consistent with the embassy's function under diplomatic law. By using method of normative legal research, qualitative methodology, and descriptive and comparative methods, This paper argues the difficulties of the performance of diplomatic mission function by non-physical embassies through the dimensions of efficiency laid down under the object and purpose of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961. It stands to prove the cumulativeness of the functions prescribed under Article 3 (1) of VCDR, arguing that the functions' performance is inefficient by only operating one or several functions. By this way of interpretation, the sole establishment of non-physical embassies, such as virtual embassies and especially metaverse embassies, is impractical due to their inability to perform several key functions of the diplomatic mission. It then clearly established that States cannot rely solely on establishing non-physical embassies and must seek alternative methods
CRIMINAL LAW POLICY IN BLASPHEMY ENFORCEMENT BASED ON RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Full text linkPolicies for resolving religious blasphemy in Indonesia are regulated in Law Number 1/PNPS/1965 concerning the Prevention of Blasphemy of Religion and Article 156a of the Criminal Code. Sentences are often repressive and do not fulfill the value of justice. The formulation of the problem in this article is: what is the criminal law policy in the settlement of blasphemy and what kind of settlement model is chosen to handle the case. This research method is normative legal research with a statutory approach based on primary legal materials. The research results show that the imposition of punishment is the main solution. Meanwhile, the model chosen in the resolution of defamation of freedom of expression according to the concept of restorative justice uses an integrated approach that tries to implement penal and non-penal efforts simultaneously to fulfill justice for the perpetrators of defamation, including involving the role of the community through the Religious Communication Forum (FKUB). Suggestions that need to be conveyed are that criminal law policies are still being implemented, but harsh criminal sanctions are softened by using the concept of restorative justice, bearing in mind that not every case of blasphemy deserves a harsh sentence

IMPLEMENTATION OF A JUDGE'S DECISION REGARDING THE EVIDENCE STATUS IN CRIMINAL CASES RELATED TO BANKRUPTCY CONFISCATION
Full text linkThis article discusses criminal acts with the characteristics of a large number of victims and losses, one of which is the case of PT First Travel and Abu Tour with the same motive and article being charged. For the purposes of examining criminal cases since the preliminary examination stage, the process of confiscating evidence has been carried out, including goods which are the object of a crime, proceeds of a crime and other goods related to a crime, including goods in bankruptcy confiscation. The issues discussed are the application of the status of evidence in criminal cases related to bankruptcy confiscated goods in a judge's decision and efforts to return evidence in meeting the victim's loss due to a crime. Using the normative juridical research method, it was concluded that the consideration of judges, which is one of the most important aspects in determining the realization of the value of a judge's decision, was not carried out carefully and thoroughly, one of which was in decisions 3096 K/Pid.Sus/2018 and 3127 K/PID.SUS/2019 which makes no sense at all. Efforts are needed to return the confiscated evidence from the victim to overcome the losses suffered, in several ways, namely improving the search and filing administration system for evidence subject to confiscation from the investigation stage so that the case files at the prosecutor's office are included if there is already a bankruptcy confiscation
FILLING THE LEGAL VACUUM OF INDONESIAN MARKS LAW: THE LEGAL STANDING OF A FAMOUS PERSON IN SUING MARKS INFRINGEMENT
Full text linkIndonesian Marks Law in Article 21 paragraph (2) letter a has protected famous people from using their names or abbreviations as marks by other parties without permission. However, that law has not protected famous people from suing for cancellation and/or compensation against a party using the name and/or abbreviation of his name as a mark. Using the normative juridical method, the provisions on the legal basis for famous people to sue other parties who use their names or their abbreviations as marks are analyzed. This article examines legal principles and legal theories that can be used to resolve that. The results of the study conclude that the legal principles that can be used to provide a legal basis for famous people in suing other parties without permission to use their names or abbreviations as marks are the principle of good faith, the principle of legal certainty, the principle of point d' interest, point d' action, and the principle of legitima persona stands in judicio. Legal theories that can provide a legal basis for famous people in suing other parties without permission to use their names or abbreviations as marks are the welfare state theory, development law theory, and the theory of intellectual property protection from Robert M. Sherwood
CRIMINALIZATION POLICY ON THE ACT OF MAKING, PRODUCING, AND TRADING ILLEGAL FISHING CAPTURE EQUIPMENT
Full text linkThe widespread use of illegal fishing capture equipment in the form of drag nets and drag nets which harm and endanger the sustainability of fish resources and the environment in Indonesian waters, cannot be separated from the act of making, producing, and trading.

So that law enforcers comprehensively apply the elements of the intended crime, including proving the elements of intentional wrongdoing, Actus Reus and Mens Rea, as well as excuses that eliminate a crime
THE MATERIAL CONTENT OF REGIONAL REGULATIONS AS THE CONCRETIZATION OF THE LIVING LEGAL SYSTEM IN SOCIETY (ADAT LAW) BASED ON ARTICLE 2 OF THE INDONESIAN PENAL CODE (KUHP) 2023
Full text linkArticle 2 of Law Number 1 of 2023 regarding the Criminal Code (“KUHP 2023”) not only leaves problems in the context of legality, but also includes mechanisms for the law enforcement process, particularly regarding the measurement of the applicability of Indonesian customary law (“Adat Law”) through regional regulations. One issue that has arisen is the lack of standardized content material that must be regulated in regional regulations in order to determine the applicability of Adat (criminal) Law. This article will analyze to what extent the standard of “law that applies in the place where the law lives” and to what extent the regional regulation regulating “living law” in the perspective of law enforcement prosecutes the perpetrator. The results show that regional regulation can be used as a basis for determining the recognition of Adat Law, but there is no common standard for how to recognize Adat Law under regional regulation. As the concrete of Article 2 Indonesian Penal Code 2023, regional regulation must explicitly regulate the scope of Adat Law (criminal) application related to territorial, personal and protection principles. Meanwhile, in the case of the prohibition act and penal sanction, it needs further studies because Adat Law has no separation between criminal and civil matters
IS IT ILLEGAL FOR FOREIGN VESSELS TO TRANSIT THROUGH INDONESIAN WATERS WITHOUT UTILIZING THE ARCHIPELAGIC SEA LANES?
Full text linkThis paper addresses the question of whether foreign vessels can infringe upon their transit through Indonesian waters without using the Indonesian Archipelagic Sea Lanes. To answer this question, the paper discusses the concept of transit rights, including innocent passage rights, transit passage rights, and archipelagic sea lanes passage rights, as well as the prohibitions and obligations of foreign vessels in exercising archipelagic sea lanes passage rights as stipulated by international and national legal provisions. This research is conducted in a normative manner, utilizing a literature review as the data collection method, and consequently employing secondary data. The analysis technique applied is content analysis. This paper concludes that despite the establishment of the Indonesian archipelagic sea lanes, it does not imply that foreign vessels must necessarily traverse these sea lanes when transiting through Indonesian waters. Foreign vessels engaged in transit have the right to peacefully navigate through Indonesian waters, provided they respect and comply with the domestic regulations of the archipelagic state and international law
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BEST INTERESTS PRINCIPLE FOR CHILDREN WHO COMMIT VIOLENT CRIMES RESULTING IN THE DEATH OF CHILDREN (STUDY IN THE CENTRAL JAKARTA DISTRICT COURT)
Full text linkChildren are the future generations of the nation and state, and it is essential that they receive protection to ensure their growth into fully developed human beings. However, in today's society, many children become entangled with the law, go through legal processes, and even face criminal sentences, where the principle of the best interests of the child is not yet the primary consideration for law enforcement authorities in handling cases involving children. This situation can have negative effects on a child's development. This study is a normative-empirical legal research with a legislative and case-based approach. The research findings indicate that the implementation of the best interests principle for children who commit violent crimes resulting in the death of children (a study conducted in the Central Jakarta District Court) is not yet optimally realized. During the legal proceedings, investigators and prosecutors still detain children, imprisonment remains the prosecutor's choice in the indictment, and during the trial, judges still opt for primary imprisonment as a punishment, even though there are alternative forms of sanctions such as rehabilitation, either within or outside institutions, which could be imposed on children, considering the conditions they are currently experiencing for their future well-being and development
