“The Federal Constitution is the highest legal document in the federation. The Constitution defines the structure and authority of the federal government, as well as the rights and obligations of citizens. The federal constitution also implements the basic principles governing the country, such as the supremacy of law, separation of powers, and federalism. The Federal Constitution of Malaysia is an important document that plays a fundamental role in the governance of the country. This constitution protects the rights of citizens, ensures the supremacy of law, and defines the structure of government. The Constitution is also a source of inspiration for other laws and regulations in Malaysia. In Malaysia, the Federal Constitution is known as the Malaysian Royal Federation Institution. This constitution was promulgated in 1957 and has been amended several times since then. The Federal Constitution of Malaysia is a comprehensive document covering a wide range of topics, including Religion,” explained Dr. Iqbal.

Dr. Iqbal in his explanation stated that “in the Federal Constitution, specifically in the Religion of the Federation section 3. (1) Islam is the religion of the Federation, but other religions can be adhered to in peace and harmony in any region of the Federation. (2) In every State other than a State which does not have a Ruler, the position of the Ruler as Leader of the Islamic religion in his State in the manner and to the extent recognized and declared by the Constitution of that State, and, in accordance with that Constitution, all rights, privileges, prerogatives and powers which he enjoyed as Head of that religion, unaffected and undisturbed; but in any act, the performance of ceremonies relating to the Conference of Rulers it was agreed that such matters should extend to the Federation as a whole, each other Ruler, in his capacity as Head of the Islamic religion, authorizing the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to represent him, etc.”

The Undergraduate Study Program in Law (PSHPS), Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (FH UII) again sent its students to contribute to Internship activities, Monday (27/5/2024) in the Audio Visual and Discussion Room of the General Election Commission (KPU) Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY).

The Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (FH UII) initiated a workshop on “Preparing an Assessment System Based on CPL and CPMK FH UII” on Tuesday (14/05) in the 4th Floor Mini Auditorium, Faculty of Law Building, Integrated Campus UII. The agenda was attended directly by all leadership lecturers and management lecturers of departments and study programs within the Faculty of Law UII. This event presented two presenters, namely Annisa Uswatun Khasanah, S.T., M.Sc., a lecturer at the Industrial Engineering Study Program, and Any Juliani, S.T., M.Sc. (Res. Eng.), Ph.D., a lecturer in the Environmental Engineering Study Program.

The Study Program in Law carried out this workshop to introduce information systems related to the curriculum, such as CPL (Graduate Learning Outcomes), CPMK (Course Learning Outcomes), course structure, syllabi, and RPS (Course Specification), where the system has been actualized and well formulated by the Environmental Engineering Study Program and the Industrial Engineering Study Program.

In his remarks, the Head of Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., explained that the assessment should be based on CPL and CPMK, In contrast, implementation at FH UII is still based on the mid-semester examination (UTS), final semester examination (UAS), and assignments. “The urgency of this workshop is due to the demands for accreditation; we were asked to evaluate the achievement of the CPL, which has been determined in the curriculum,” he concluded.

In her presentation, Annisa revealed that the level of lecturer participation in filling in CPMK and CPL achievements in the study program system is a big challenge. “Of course, all lecturers must be willing to fill in this to ensure the continuity of the learning quality system. “Every week or once a month, we hold a study program meeting where each lecturer is required to present the CPL and CPMK to provide feedback on course deficiencies so that they can be improved together,” she explained.

Furthermore, Any Juliani revealed that the focus of measuring CPL and CPMK is that apart from students having to pass according to the CPL we produce, there must also be continuous improvement. “We look for the root cause of the problem of CPL, which is difficult to achieve, then we evaluate it through RPS evaluation meetings at the end of each academic year to find out what the causes are that are difficult to achieve and what recommendations for improvement are made,” explained the Head of the Undergraduate Environmental Engineering Study Program.

In the future, Dodik hopes that developing the infrastructure for the CPL and CPMK assessment filling system can be realized immediately to streamline the accreditation and assessment process for lecturers at Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia.

The Faculty of Law,Universitas Islam Indonesia, on Tuesday, April 30 2024, carried out Collective Passport Service activities in collaboration with the DIY Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. This collective passport service is carried out for one day, starting at 09.00 WIB and taking place in the Preparation Room, 4th Floor, Faculty of Law Building, Universitas Islam Indonesia. A total of approximately 60 participants in making this collective passport were the UII Faculty of Law academic community consisting of students, lecturers and also several members of the general public.

As a new innovation, this collective passport making service not only serves to make new passports, but also serves to replace or extend passports, so that participants are not required to come directly to the DIY Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. “We are of course making various breakthroughs and innovations to continue developing immigration services as well as educating the public,” said the Head of the DIY Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Agung Rektono Seto, S.E., M.Si.

With the existence of collective passport service activities by the DIY Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, it can facilitate and speed up the process of making a passport, especially for the Faculty of Law academic community who want to travel abroad. Saves time and costs, and can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of implementing the Faculty of Law Internationalization program. The implementation of this collective passport service is certainly expected to encourage internationalization activities at the Faculty of Law and can be a strategic and useful step to improve the quality of education, research and reputation of the Faculty of Law at home and abroad.

At the end of April, to be precise on Tuesday 30 April 2024, the Faculty of Law Universitas Islam Indonesia collaborated with the TPI Yogyakarta Class 1 Immigration Office to carry out an Immigration Public Lecture. The theme of this public lecture was “Immigration Challenges in Indonesia in the Technology and Information Era”, taking place in the 4th Floor Auditorium, Faculty of Law building, Islamic University of Indonesia. The public lecture started at 08:30 WIB with a resource person, Head of the Immigration Division, Ministry of Law and Human Rights, DIY, Dr. M. Yani Firdaus, S.H., M.H., then moderated by a lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Nurmalita Ayuningtyas Harahap, S.H., M.H. The participants who attended this event were 250 active students from the Undergraduate Program at the Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia. 

“The public lecture with the theme “Immigration Challenges in Indonesia in the Age of Technology and Information” is a very interesting and up to date theme, very good to be delivered to students at the UII Faculty of Law, which happens to be my field of science, namely business law and focuses on two areas, namely the field of intellectual property rights and cyber law. Very good, because in the business law study program there are law & internet courses as the basics of law and technology studied at the UII Faculty of Law. Dr Yani Firdaus not only understands theoretically, but also understands practically, especially those related to immigration law and technological developments. With the development of sophisticated information technology, we know it as artificial intelligence. In Indonesia itself there is only the ITE Law and the PDP Law, it could be that in the near future it is possible that we will have to have a law related to artificial intelligence because its impact is already being felt. So I ask you to be able to focus and concentrate and don’t forget to actively ask questions and discuss with Mr. Firdaus while he is here. That was the speech from the Dean of the UII Faculty of Law, Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, SH, Mhum.

Dr. Firdaus in his presentation explained that immigration has created a policy that makes things easier for the public, for example simplifying the requirements for applying for a passport for Hajj and Umrah purposes, making it easier to make an electronic passport, a golden visa policy in order to support the national economy, etc. carried out online & on one platform via the website evisa.imigration.go.id. He also added that during 2024, as many as 11 golden visas have been issued. The Golden Visa itself is a visa given to foreigners with certain qualifications to stay in Indonesia for 5 or 10 years and can be extended with the aim of supporting the national economy.

After the presentation of the general lecture material was complete, the event continued with a speech from the Head of the DIY Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Agung Rektono Seto, S.E., M.Sc., then continued with the signing of the MBKM (Independent Learning Program Independent Campus) Legal Practice collaboration. Signing of the MoA for MBKM Legal Practice between the Faculty of Law and the TPI Yogyakarta Class I Immigration Office, represented by the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Prof. Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, SH, Mhum., and Head of the DIY Kemenkumham Regional Office, Agung Rektono Seto, S.E., M.Si and witnessed directly by The Head of Undergraduate Study Program in Law at the Faculty of Law UII, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D. With the MBKM MoA for Legal Practice, it is hoped that it will provide benefits to students of the Faculty of Law, UII, Faculty of Law, UII, and also the Immigration Office.

On this occasion, the International Guest Lecture activity was accompanied by resource person Dr. Zsolt Hajnal with the theme “Principles and Tendencies of the Private International Law of the European Union”.

Dr. Zsolt Hajnal, in his presentation, explained that the role of the European Union in the regulation of Private International Law is a new identity for defining the European legal order and facilitating the efficient functioning of the internal market. He also added that there is a new purpose for the role of the European Union in Private International Law which is regulated in the European Union, namely “As an internal market which creates the need to increase the predictability of litigation results, certainty of applicable law and freedom of movement in making decisions regarding legal conflict rules in member countries. The States will establish the same national law regardless of the state of the court in which an action is filed.”

The European Union has made significant efforts to create a unified system of private international law, aimed at simplifying legal issues across its member states. The system is built on a foundation of core principles and evolving trends. Private International Law can help determine which country’s law governs the dispute and ensure a fair and efficient resolution. So, with this activity, it is hoped that students from the Undergraduate Study Program in Lawwill be better prepared to handle legal issues with international elements which are a trend in the interconnected and developing world today.

This Guest Lecture event was moderated byThe Head of Undergraduate Study Program in Law at the Faculty of Law, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., and attended by around 100 students from the Undergraduate Study Program in Law.
