The research analyses the trade war between South Korea and Japan from the perspective of international law. The trade war involving South Korea and Japan was triggered by a decision by the Supreme Court of South Korea which ordered several Japanese companies to pay compensation to victims of Japanese forced labor during World War II. As a result, on July 1, 2019, Japan imposed restrictions on chemical exports to South Korea. South Korea accused Japan of violating international trade regulations concerning export restrictions. Therefore, South Korea took action by boycotting goods from Japan. The two countries resolved to remove each other from the whitelist of countries that obtain preferential trade status via their activities. The research method used is normative legal research with a case approach. The result shows that the trade war involving Japan and South Korea worsened bilateral relations. The World Trade Organization (WTO) carried out several mechanisms related to solving the problem, namely through consultation and conciliation involving the two countries, but it still needs to resolve the issue. It was also planned to establish a panel between South Korea and Japan by the WTO, but it has not been implemented until now and beyond the timeframe set by the WTO in establishing the Panel. Therefore, the study proposes that South Korea and Japan can initiate arbitration as a solution for another effort to resolve the problem because the arbitration mechanism obtains binding and final decisions.
The case of sexual violence is increasing every year in Indonesia. The current prevailed penalties for perpetrators of sexual violence as stated in the Penal Code and the Child Protection Act are considered ineffective. The public then proposed that the perpetrators of sexual violence should be sentenced to death. The study aims to conduct a comparative study between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in punishing sexual violence perpetrators. This study will look at how the death penalty is deemed appropriate to be applied for sexual offenders. It also explores the prevailed punishments by Saudi Arabian government for sexual violence cases. The study is normative research with employing comparative and statutory approaches. The study shows that sexual violence could be regarded as extraordinary crime as it meets particular conditions. Indonesia opens up the possibilities to punish the sexual offenders with the death penalty. However, Saudi Arabia on the other hand did not impose death penalty for sexual violence perpetrators but rather have a public humiliation as an alternative.
This study analyzes related to Islamic Financial Institutions (LKS). Which currently exists and is growing quite rapidly. There have been numerous variations of LKS throughout Indonesia, including Islamic institutions. LKS is a financial institution that operates following Sharia law. LKS, a financial institution with Sharia principles, was originally present as an option and a solution for Muslims who want to avoid the practice of conventional banks or financial institutions. LKS was originally offered as a sharia-compliant financial organization for Muslims who want to escape the practice of banks or traditional financial institutions that use the interest system, but they can also be a choice for non-Muslims. Therefore, there are problems why the application of Sharia principles by LKS is an urgent problem and what are the conditions for applying Sharia principles by LKS. The research method used is normative legal research with a case approach. The study results indicate that the LKS organizer is expected to have a vision in which the LKS remains in the principles of Sharia.
