Nadila Safitri — 2024-01-11

Since the publication of UU Cipta Kerja, the element of community involvement in the preparation of AMDAL, which is the guidance of corporations in managing the environment, has become narrower. This research aims to analyze the role of the community in preparing AMDAL after the enactment of UU Cipta Kerja and to analyze the environmental impact of companies on fulfilling community rights after the enactment of UU Cipta Kerja. This research uses normative juridical research methods and a statutory approach as well as a conceptual approach. The lack of community involvement in the preparation of AMDAL actually harms human rights because the Indonesian constitution and laws and regulations guarantee that everyone can express opinions, has the right to a healthy living environment, and has the right to be included in policy decision making. The enactment of UU Cipta Kerja itself resulted in a restructuring of AMDAL arrangements which made it easier for business actors and paid less attention to environmental policies and their impact on society.

Dispute over the 1974 MoU Box between Indonesia and Australia: How MoU Legally Binding in Two Countries?

Salwa Noviana Putri — 2024-01-31

This study aims to delineate the legal authority of Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) within the jurisdictions of Indonesia and Australia, particularly concerning the resolution of international civil law disputes. The research employs a normative juridical approach, utilizing legal reviews and secondary data for support. The findings reveal that in civil law states, notably Indonesia, MoUs are regarded as binding agreements in accordance with the "Agreement is Agreement" perspective as per Article 1338 (1) of the Civil Code. Conversely, common law states, such as Australia, generally perceive MoUs as non-legally binding. However, an MoU may attain validity and binding status if it fulfills the six stipulated requirements outlined in Australian contract law. To address the dispute surrounding the 1974 MoU BOX between Indonesia and Australia, resolution options include examining international civil law rules based on primary and secondary links or resorting to an international arbitral tribunal.
