2024-11-21T08:54:43+07:00

Strikes are a fundamental right of workers across the globe, representing a manifestation of the right to freedom of association and the protection of the right to organise. It thus falls upon the state to safeguard the right to strike, which may be achieved, for instance, by enacting national legislation that strikes a fair balance between the interests of professional sportsmen and those of their employers. In light of the above, the present study focuses on the examination of the regulation of the right to strike for professional sportsmen in the context of Indonesian and Spanish laws. In this research, the author employs a normative legal research method with a statute approach and a comparative approach. The findings of this research demonstrate that the regulation of the right to strike for professional sportsmen in Indonesian and Spanish law exhibits notable differences. The right to strike is specifically regulated in Spain by the Ley 39/2022, De 30 De Dicembre, Del deporte (Spanish Sports Act). The legislation explicitly recognises the right of professional sportsmen to engage in industrial action. It is regrettable that the legislation does not prescribe the procedures that must be followed in the event of an industrial action. In contrast, the Indonesian legal framework does not specifically address the right to strike in the context of sports. Consequently, there are no dedicated regulations that pertain to professional sportsmen. Consequently, the regulations pertaining to industrial actions applicable to professional sportsmen are those set forth in the Indonesian labour law, which delineates the procedural aspects of strike implementation.

2024-12-06T14:20:01+07:00

This study examines these issues within the framework of Indonesia's criminal law development, focusing on the film Sang Penari. Through the character Srintil, the film vividly portrays how cultural practices can entrap women in cycles of exploitation that are legitimized by societal expectations. Although Indonesia has adopted various progressive legal regulations such as Law No. 21/2007 on the Eradication of Trafficking in Persons and Law No. 23/2004 on the Elimination of Domestic Violence, implementation in the field still faces significant challenges. Lack of effective law enforcement, lack of public awareness, and socio-economic factors, such as poverty, contribute to the vulnerable situation for women. Therefore, to protect women from exploitation and violence, a multidimensional approach is needed that includes aspects of law, education and economic empowerment. This research emphasizes the need for integration between law, culture and social awareness so that women like Srintil can live with dignity and be protected from violence and exploitation.

Effectiveness of Regulation of The Minister of Trade Number 40 Of 2022 Concerning Goods Prohibited from Export and Goods Prohibited from Import in The Tabanan Frog Market

2024-12-06T14:30:47+07:00

This research examines the factors contributing to the ongoing trade of imported used clothing at Tabanan Regency’s Frog Market and evaluates the enforcement of Minister of Trade Regulation Number 40 of 2022, which prohibits the import and sale of such items. Imported used clothing poses a threat to local MSMEs and is flagged as a potential health risk due to its contact with human skin. However, the Frog Market, established in the early 2000s, remains a bustling hub for secondhand clothing, fueled by consumer demand for affordable, quality apparel. The study employs an empirical legal research method, incorporating socio-legal and legislative approaches through field observations and interviews. Findings reveal that economic necessity, unique fashion appeal, and environmental considerations drive consumers to purchase used clothing. Additionally, sellers leverage flexible, informal sales channels, including online groups, to sustain their businesses. Despite awareness of the legal restrictions, the economic reliance on thrifting poses challenges for regulation enforcement. The study concludes that for regulatory effectiveness, enhanced public awareness, law enforcement engagement, and consideration of local socio-economic realities are essential. These findings provide insights for policymakers aiming to balance legal mandates with the socio-economic impact on communities reliant on this trade.

Well-known marks are vulnerable to violations, including in Indonesia. Registered trademark disputes often occur between well-known and local mark owners regarding substantive similarities with well-known marks. Ironically, the dominant dispute resolution protects local marks with the rationality of mark protection based on Territorial Principles.

2024-12-10T12:48:09+07:00

Fraud is an act that is clearly against the law that has been regulated in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia where fraud can cause losses to the Indonesian people. However, asking for compensation for fraud that has been committed by certain individuals is not an easy thing to do because fraud can enter the legal chamber and the civil chamber where the criminal court has the authority to impose penalties on the perpetrator in the form of fines and imprisonment, while the civil court has the authority to order the perpetrator to provide compensation to the victim. Although fraud can be addressed through civil proceedings to seek compensation, the research highlights that proving fraud is most effectively achieved in a criminal court. This underscores the necessity of obtaining an infract criminal decision one that is legally binding to establish the fraud. Such a decision serves as a prerequisite for ensuring that a civil claim for compensation is neither deemed premature nor rejected. The research recommends prioritizing criminal proceedings as a foundational step to strengthen civil compensation claims and ensure their admissibility.

Local wisdom, reflecting the values, knowledge, and strategies of local communities, plays a crucial role in shaping Indonesia's cultural identity and societal resilience. With its vast diversity, each region of Indonesia possesses unique traditions and local wisdom, integral to the nation's heritage.
