On Friday, December 13, 2024, the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) held an activity called “Workshop on Verification of Student Independent Participation Certificate Submission as a Graduation Requirement.” The activity, which was held starting at 15.30 WIB, took place in the Mini Auditorium Room, 4th floor, UII Faculty of Law, and was attended by the Academic Advisors of Faculty of Law UII and Academic Supervisor assistants consisting of education personnel at Faculty of Law UII. The speakers at this workshop were the Vice Dean for Religious, Students, and Alumni Affairs, Drs. Agus Triyanta., MA, MH, Ph.D., and the Head of Academic Division, Muhammad Arief Satejo Kinady, A.Md. The moderator for this activity was Bagya Agung Prabowo, SH, M.Hum., Ph.D., who helped accompany the speakers in explaining their presentations. Based on the Rector’s Regulation No. 7 of 2024, it is explained that the Participation Credit Unit is a measure of appreciation for non-curricular activities followed by students to meet learning outcomes indicated by units, which are the cumulative amount of the intensity of these activities. The Head of the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., opened this activity. In his remarks, he explained, “The study program has made an academic supervisor guide, but specifically for the guide from the Rector, all are requested to read the document. As for this workshop, it has been recorded and will be included in Google Drive so that it can be accessed by Academic Supervisors or Academic Supervisor assistants who do not understand or have not been able to participate in this workshop activity. “Here are the remarks from the Head of the Undergraduate Study Program in Law.

General and technical explanations related to student participation and activity credit units began with an explanation from the first resource person, Drs. Agus Triyanta., MA, MH, Ph.D., with the theme “General Explanation of Submission of Student Independent Participation Certificate.” In his explanation, he explained that “There is a Chancellor’s Regulation No. 7 of 2024. Related to Participation Credit Units & Student Activities. The form of activity is indeed in the realm of the Vice Dean for Student Affairs, but the academics are in the realm of the Study Program because it is indeed the realm of Student Affairs and Study Programs. The Chancellor’s Regulation stipulates that students of the 2023 intake must have fulfilled the participation credit units of choice outside of the mandatory ones; for example, in the first semester, there are PNDI activities, etc. However, outside of that, both bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees have participation credit unit obligations as a graduation requirement and authorization by the academic supervisor. Undergraduate students are subject to 50 participation credit units but have been fulfilled as mandatory. Plus 10 participation credit units, and that’s optional. It is mandatory to follow a minimum of 10 additional Participation Credit Units consisting of at least 2 different forms of activities. For activities such as being a committee, seminars, or digital preaching, there are awards, so for students themselves, there has not been enough massive socialization among students. All of these activities have documents as evidence, especially the academic supervisor and the academic supervisor’s companion to carry out verification, and are one of the requirements for student graduation starting from the 2023 class. Academic supervisors verify the eligibility of data and supporting evidence for student activities chosen by students. For example, carrying out duties as a preacher with a participation credit unit weight of 1 (one) must include supporting evidence such as a letter of application and a letter of thanks. Becoming a Mualim or musrif/musrifah is included in prophetic leadership with a weight of 2 (two) and must include supporting evidence of a certificate. Conducting scientific publications (proceedings, journals, posters) is included in transformative skills with a weight of 2 (two) and is required to complete certificates and scientific works. The faculty can help in fulfilling this participation credit unit. Later it will be explained both related to leadership, skills, and academics, “following the presentation of material from the Vice Dean for Religious, Student, and Alumni Affairs. 

The event continued with the presentation of material by the second speaker, Muhammad Arief Sateio Kinady, A.Md., with the theme “Technical Explanation and Information System Related to Verification of Submission of Independent Student Participation Certificate as a Graduation Requirement.” He explained that “this is indeed a new job and could be an obstacle for graduates if it is not done from the start. Verification can be done at the end and is quite easy, such as approved and disapproved, and there is information to show evidence. With several stages, namely, students participate in activities, students will fill in data and upload evidence on the student gateway, and academic supervisors carry out verification. The verification per academic supervisor will be considered faster when compared to only being done by the Vice Dean. Furthermore, academic supervisors can also reject and request revisions related to evidence. It’s just that the Information System Agency has not provided additional information related to the number of points achieved, so you have to be careful. “Here is a technical explanation from the Head of the Academic Division of the Faculty of Law UII. The event continued with a question and answer session by participants and then the workshop was closed by the moderator.

There are many collaborations that we will offer which will have a positive impact on the academic community of the Faculty of Law, UII, especially in terms of credit transfer programs, lecturer exchange programs, double title programs, research programs and community service. It is very possible for Faculty of Law UII to carry out international community service activities in Taiwan, especially for migrant workers from Indonesia so that they understand their rights according to Taiwanese law, Indonesian law, and international law.” said the Dean of the Faculty of Law, UII, Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, S.H., M.Hum. when giving a speech at the College of Law, Chung Cheng University.

Her dissertation research is on business arbitration law. This is a sign that there are many opportunities for collaboration in Taiwan. During the visit, we received a positive response from Chung Cheng University and National Yunlin University of Science and Technology to conduct student exchanges for one semester. And it is also very possible for students to do internships in the industry in Taiwan, especially in the legal sector. This will be an acceleration of knowledge in the legal field which is good for our students,” said Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., L.LM., Ph.D. when giving a presentation at National Chung Cheng University.

At the end of the visit, the Dean of the UII Faculty of Law signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Dean of the College of Humanities and Sciences of National Yunlin University of Science and Technology.

This is my second visit about 3 years ago, not only to Jogja, but also to Jakarta, Bandung, and one of the institutions we visited was UII. I believe that Malaysia and Indonesia are like brothers “When you are close you pinch each other, when you are far you yearn for each other”. This is conveyed to the Faculty of Law which has received and accommodated our request for a visit, especially to Mr. Bagya and Prof. Budi, so that later we can discuss and make presentations related to AIKOL IIUM.” Greetings from Dr. Murshid Kassim, a representative of the delegation from the Legal Studies Department of AIKOL IIUM Malaysia.

“Thank you all. We are very happy today to have guests from IIUM, and I would like to welcome you to the UII Faculty of Law. I hope all of you can enjoy your visit here. The hope is that we can establish collaboration between the Faculty of Law and IIUM, especially AIKOL. I think uni is also the right moment because some time ago we went to IIUM to visit the UII Faculty of Law benchmarking.  And this time, IIUM visited our campus, this was very good and interesting because I believe we can see various institutional developments, especially the Faculty of Law, so that after this we can share through presentations and discussions.

For example, for courses where the CPL is related to attitudes, there will be an assessment using observation, while for courses where there is some knowledge there will be an assessment using a written exam. “This assessment model is very helpful for lecturers, including measuring whether students can follow lectures well and by the CPL that has been determined.”

The event continued with giving awards in the form of merchandise and group photos, after which the session continued with a presentation by IIUM, represented by Dr. Kassim, as for the Faculty of Law, represented by Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., The event closed with questions and answers and discussions in each session.

Hela Cells? How Important Are These Cells?

[KALIURANG]; On Saturday, October 19th, 2024, the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) carried out International Guest Lecture activities, which took place in the Audiovisual Room on the 4th floor, Faculty of Law Building, UII. The resource person for this activity was Dr. Kimberly Bomar., an attorney from Bomar Legal, Stanford, California. The International Guest Lecture, which starts at 09.30–11.30 Indonesian Westren Time (IWT)/WIB, carries the theme, “Henrietta Lacks and the Business, Technology, and Ethics of HeLa Cells.” This event, which was held offline and online via Zoom, was moderated by Head of Undergraduate Program in Law, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., and attended by more than 150 students from Undergraduate Study Program in Law.

In his explanation, Dr. Kimberly mentioned that “Henrietta Lacks (HeLa) was the Mother of Modern Medicine. Henrietta Lacks is the most important name in the field of biotechnology and medicine, which many people may not have known before. In 1950, not long after giving birth to her fifth child with David Lacks, Henrietta was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cervical cancer that would change the world of medicine forever. On January 29, 1951, Henrietta Lacks attended Johns Hopkins, the only hospital in the area treating black patients. However, during her treatment, Johns Hopkins took two samples from Henrietta’s cervix without her permission or knowledge. Then Doctor Johns sent the tissue samples to a cell biologist, Dr. George Otto Gey. From samples obtained by Dr. Gey, he isolated cancer cells by applying a technique he developed. These cells can grow and divide indefinitely in culture media, so Dr. Johns and Dr. Gey provide the cells for research around the world but do not sell them. Several biotechnology companies have succeeded in making a profit from HeLa cells and have patented how to use them, one of which is Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., which is a biotechnology company with annual revenues of more than $40 billion. Meanwhile, Henrietta’s family did not receive any compensation and struggled to pay for basic medical care.

Due to the HeLa Cell business, Henrietta’s descendants believed that the cells belonged to Henrietta and never gave them or allowed anyone to use them. So they believe that as heirs they have the right to receive compensation and sue the Thermo Fisher Company. Henrietta did not consent to the collection and use of her tissue, but her consent was not legally required at the time, and although Henrietta’s treatment reflected racist experiments against black people, Thermo Fisher was not present when Henrietta’s cells were taken. Ultimately, in August 2023, the case was resolved without a legal decision on whether the Lacks family was entitled to compensation for the use of HeLa cells.” The following is Dr. Kimberly Bomar.

HeLa cells are an invaluable tool in biomedical research. However, it is important to remember the history behind this cell and appreciate the contributions of Henrietta Lacks and her family.

Erosion of International Humanitarian Law vs Civilians in Gaza

The Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, UII (Universitas Islam Indonesia) again invites Fatma Al Ghussain, as Executive Director in Amna Care Fund Palestine Activists as a speaker on the Guest Lecture agenda which will be held on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. Guest Lecture which started at 15.30 and took place in the Legislative Drafting Room, 3rd floor, Faculty of Law UII, the theme raised on this occasion was “Legal Violations and the Extent of Application of International Humanitarian Law to Protect Civilians in Gaza”. This Guest Lecture activity is an effort to always remind us of the existence of humanitarian principles, as support for human rights, as well as solidarity as a developing country and also as a form of implementation of religious values. In International Humanitarian Law there are rules that regulate behavior that takes place in armed conflicts. The purpose of this law is to limit human suffering during war and establish limits on how to fight, and also provide protection to citizens or parties who do not take part in hostilities.

In her explanation, Mrs. Fatma Al Ghussain stated that “The attacks carried out by the Israeli army have killed more than 60,000 civilians, including children and women, mercilessly and indiscriminately using internationally prohibited weapons. They also bombed schools and tents filled with sheltering civilians, and killed everyone inside. Not only that, the Israeli army also blocked humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, including water, food, medicine and other basic necessities. They even excavate the graves of people who have died by taking their bodies and returning them without any internal organs. The atrocities carried out were not only carried out against the Palestinian population, but also by suppressing the press by killing anyone who reported what was happening in Gaza, either through sound or images. As well as threatening social media activists, by bombing their houses and killing their families. There is continuous oppression carried out by the Israeli army by killing humanitarian workers, local and international residents, they also force civilians to repeatedly move to new areas without allowing civilians to take their personal belongings with them. This of course illustrates the irrelevance of international humanitarian law in dealing with the genocide that is taking place in Palestine to date and shows that there is a failure of the global justice system in preventing war crimes.”

This Guest Lecture with resource person Mrs. Fatma Al Ghussain was moderated directly by the Head of Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., and attended by more than 70 students of Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law UII. Before the Guest Lecture activity was closed by the moderator, there was a video screening session that had been prepared by Mrs. Fatma and continued with a question and answer session from several students present. It is hoped that this activity will make each other aware and be a form of support for Palestine, not only as a moral obligation, but also as an investment in the future of a more peaceful and just world.
