Reflections on the Dismissal of Theft Charges Through Prosecutor's Restorative Justice House in Lampung
Full text linkThe existence of restorative justice certainly brings a new paradigm in the settlement of criminal cases by seeking to resolve cases solely outside of court. The implementation of restorative justice-based prosecution termination can be applied to theft, which has the highest number of cases in Indonesia.

Prohibition of Child Recruitment as Soldiers: An International Regulatory Discourse
Full text linkChildren are frequently turned into child soldiers or used as human shields in armed conflicts. The use of child soldiers is condemned by all nations and is regarded as a grave breach of both children's rights and international humanitarian law. The paper aims to discuss pertinent provisions of international legal norms, particularly those that relate to child soldiers in the sequence of their adoption. Additionally, it presents the issue of the implementation of several international conventions on the issue of using child soldiers and its atrocities in the international community.

There has been a various provision in the determination of minimum age of a child that led to major debates among international communities.

Ownership of Land: Legal Philosophy and Culture Analysis of Land Property Rights
Full text linkLand stands as a fundamental aspect of human existence, serving as a cornerstone for meeting diverse needs and holding considerable economic significance. Its limited capacity often becomes a trigger for societal conflicts, spanning both vertical and horizontal dimensions. A well-crafted land policy holds the potential to foster community prosperity and ensure environmental sustainability. However, the imposition of state-driven evictions often leads to agrarian conflicts, undermining customary rights.

Unveiling Ethical Implications: AI Robot Accountability in Islamic Context
Full text linkThe world is currently experiencing what is known as industry 4.0, a fusion of business and IT where robots and other forms of artificial intelligence are massively utilized. The fact that robots are now a regular part of people's lives raises novel liability issues. The research aims to address the questions whether artificial intelligence robots can be accepted as ethical and legal subjects in Islamic perspective. It also considers whether it is necessary to grant legal personality to robots and hold them liable for their decisions and conducts. The research is doctrinal legal research where the analysis was presented within the context of Islamic viewpoints in a descriptive-structured way. The result demonstrates that robots with artificial intelligence fall under the definition of jamadat. No matter how sophisticated, an artificial intelligence cannot have a biological vitality. Therefore, only humans have the potential to possess rights and be held liable for their actions. Robotic artificial intelligence systems lack the capacity to be regarded as responsible entities in this sense, to inflict legal sanctions on activities that are the result of algorithms, and to be held accountable for both civil and criminal offenses
Policies to Control and Evaluate Regional Regulations on Taxes and Levies in Indonesia: Re-centralisation?
Full text linkThe research analyses whether the regulations concerning the mechanisms of control and evaluation of regional regulations on taxes and levies, as outlined in Law No.1 of 2022, comply with the concept of regional autonomy in Indonesia. With normative juridical approach, this research found that the mechanisms of control and evaluation of regional regulations on taxes and levies do not comply with the concept of regional autonomy. However, such mechanisms are required in Indonesia as a unitary state that is based on autonomy, since no system of autonomy works in the absence of control. Nonetheless, in this case, the supervisory authority given to the central government, in the form of preventive and repressive supervision, tends to cause too much interference in the process of shaping policies regarding regional taxes and levies, which should be within the authority of regional governments. Therefore, assertive and specific provisions should be made to prevent intervention by the central government that goes beyond what is require
