2025-05-08T14:19:43+07:00

This research discusses the legal protection of children with disabilities as victims of sexual violence in Indonesia. According to Law Number 35 of 2014, sexual violence is any sexual act that results in physical, psychological, or sexual suffering. Children with disabilities are vulnerable to sexual violence and require special protection. Although there are regulations governing the protection of children with disabilities, their implementation is still ineffective. This research uses the normative juridical method and collects data from laws and regulations, books, and the results of previous research. The results of this study show that legal protection for children with disabilities who are victims of sexual violence is still limited and needs to be strengthened with special assistance and proper accessibility.

This article compares the cyber law frameworks of Indonesia and Singapore, two key Southeast Asian countries in the digital era. Using a normative juridical and comparative approach, the study analyzes similarities and differences in the regulation and implementation of cyber laws, focusing on the scope of cybercrime, procedures for digital evidence, personal data protection, and international cooperation. The findings show that Singapore adopts a more integrated and risk-based approach, particularly in personal data protection and critical infrastructure security, while Indonesia’s framework remains broader but less specific. Both countries face challenges in law enforcement and cross-border cooperation, but Singapore demonstrates more effective institutional coordination. The study recommends legal harmonization, capacity building, and enhanced regional collaboration to address evolving cyber threats in Southeast Asia. These insights contribute to the development of more robust and adaptive cyber law policies in the region.

Analysis Of Corporate Involvement In Hoarding Cases In The Cooking Oil Market

2025-05-08T11:28:24+07:00

Corporate involvement in hoarding within the Indonesian cooking oil market has become a significant issue, attracting considerable public and governmental attention. This study aims to analyze how corporations engage in cooking oil hoarding practices and their implications for the governance of the palm oil industry in Indonesia. The results indicate that corporations often influence government policies through regulatory changes that benefit them, particularly in export activities, often without fulfilling domestic supply obligations. Corruption cases in granting export licenses demonstrate how easily corporations can influence government policy for private gain. Furthermore, weak supervision of the Crude Palm Oil (CPO) market, which tends to be oligopolistic, facilitates cartel behavior in the cooking oil market. Data transparency and strengthened law enforcement are key to effective market supervision. The identification of corporate suspects is a step forward in improving governance, but it must be followed by more decisive actions to improve the governance of the Indonesian palm oil industry, including re-imposing a moratorium on granting licenses and conducting transparent corporate audits. Structural reforms within the supply chain and the promotion of fair competition are essential to prevent future incidents of hoarding and market manipulation. The role of regulatory bodies in ensuring compliance and deterring anti-competitive practices cannot be overstated.
