The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a global impact. It also affected Indonesia. There had been tens of thousands of positive cases and thousands of deaths. Many paramedics also died to heal people from this disease. The Indonesian government determined this condition as a Social Emergency Condition and issued the Governmental Decree No. 21 of 2020 on Large-Scale Social Restrictions (LSSR) in 2020 (and Community Activity Restriction Enforcement [CARE] in 2021 with the Instruction of the Minister of Internal Affairs on Emergency CARE in Java and Bali islands). The Instruction of the Minister of Internal Affairs No. 15 of 2021 regulated the Application of the Emergency CARE due to the COVID-2019. In its implementation, the LSSR are ineffective in preventing the spread of the COVID-19 as there are some anomalies in the field, as this law is not strictly enforced. The spread of the COVID-19 becomes uncontrollable as there are no strict sanctions against violators of the LSSR. Meanwhile, the law-enforcing apparatus tend to ignore violations. This condition is different from the application of the CARE as it was more effective in decreasing the number of Covid-19 cases. This is because its implementation is equipped with supervision and strict sanctions. The strictness and the seriousness in applying the CARE yielded positive results, namely, the significant decrease of COVID-19 sufferers.
Indonesia’s legal system is dynamically developing. Courts and constitutional judges often make legal discoveries to fill in the absence of law or to update existing laws. They do so to suit the most current needs. This condition should be an anomaly in Indonesia’s existing legal system as it applies to the civil law legal system. This research aims to track the roots of Indonesia’s legal system and to discover its development. Indonesia generally applied the civil law system. The practice where judges find and form laws in court is a convergence of the Common Law justice system. This system influences the legal system in Indonesia. In addition, Indonesian laws and regulations also adopted several legal concepts that are commonly found in the Anglo-Saxon legal system or the Common Law, such as Class Action, Citizen Lawsuits, and other concepts.
The Constitutional Court responded to the existence of a debt collector who had been very unsettling by the Constitutional Court by issuing Decision Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019 dated January 6, 2020. Based on the request for a judicial review of Law 42/1999 submitted by husband and wife Apriliani Dewi and Suri Agung Prabowo . Apriliani is a fiduciary who experiences direct losses as a result of creditors' withdrawal of the object of fiduciary security in the form of a car. Both applicants are declared to have legal standing in submitting a request for a judicial review. The Constitutional Court granted it with Decision Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019. In this decision, the execution mechanism for the fiduciary guarantee object was changed by the Constitutional Court as long as it was not provided voluntarily by the debtor. Previously, the Fiduciary Law allowed creditors to execute the object of fiduciary collateral themselves, but now to carry out the execution, creditors must submit an application to the District Court. However, the implementation of direct execution by the creditor without going through the District Court can be done if the debtor admits that there is a default or default in his agreement with the creditor.
This paper analyzes and provides advice on legal protection for rape victims in Indonesia in transcendental, restorative law, and responsive law perspectives. These perspectives are compared and combined in an effort to seek an ideal concept. The implication of this paper is to provide advice for an ideal concept of legal protection for victims of rape in an Indonesian context. This paper uses a normative juridical approach with a legal interpretation method. This paper concludes that law enforcement against perpetrators of rape in the Indonesian context can employ transcendental, restorative law, and responsive law approaches. However, in an effort to find an ideal concept, the transcendental perspective of maṣlaḥah mursalah which considers benefits for the public and prevents harm is more suitable for use in Indonesia’s pluralistic society. This is because, in addition to emphasizing moral, ethical, and religious values in law enforcement, the approach will prevent recurrence of cases through handing out severe punishment to perpetrators of rape and providing physical and psychological rehabilitation to victims to make it in line with restorative justice in which victims get the right to recover physically and mentally without reducing the punishment for rape perpetrators.
