Generally, a general election is carried out directly by the people to elect members of the People’s Representative Council, Regional People’s Representative Council, President, and Vice President. The legal basis for the election itself, for example, is in the 1945 Constitution Article 22 E and Law No. 7 of 2017 as amended by Law No. 7 of 2023.

 

Umi Illiyina, S.H., M.H., in her explanation, stated that “Based on Law No. 7 of 2017, related to Election Organizers are divided into 3, namely the General Election Commission (KPU), the General Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu), and the Election Organizer Honorary Council (DKPP). As for the classification of election legal problems, it is divided into election disputes and election violations. Problems related to election disputes are divided into 2 points, namely disputes over results and non-result problems. Furthermore, related to election violations, are divided into 3 points, namely criminal, administrative, and ethics of election organizers.” The following is the presentation from Umi Illiyina, S.H., M.H.

This practitioner teaching program is held from 15.20 to 17.00 WIB with three meetings; the first meeting took place on Thursday, November 21, 2024, and took place in the Mini Auditorium Room, 4th Floor, Faculty of Law UII.

Hasyim, S.H., M.Hum., as a permanent lecturer at the Department of State Administrative Law, Faculty of Law UII, and attended by students of the Faculty of Law UII, especially students of the Government Supervision Law B class.

The Ombudsman is a state institution that has a special task to oversee the implementation of public services. In other words, the Ombudsman is a “supervisor” who ensures that the services provided by the government, both central and regional, to the community run well and in accordance with applicable regulations. The Ombudsman is intended as a communication bridge between citizens and organizers. Widespread corruption, poor state administration, population explosion, and political instability are some of the reasons for the birth of the Ombudsman in several countries, including Indonesia. The duties of the Ombudsman itself are to receive reports, conduct investigations, and resolve problems so that the output of the work procedures of the Indonesian Ombudsman is to improve the quality of public services.

In his presentation, Dr. Johanes explained that “There are several factors that cause the Ombudsman to be able to develop in many countries, one of which is flexibility. This means that this ombudsman system is very flexible and can adapt to countries with different political and administrative backgrounds. Some of the legal bases for the Ombudsman in Indonesia are Law Number 37 of 2008 concerning the Indonesian Ombudsman and Law Number 25 of 2009 concerning Public Services. The reports that can be reported to the Ombudsman are allegations of maladministration in public service providers organized by state and government organizations, including those organized by state-owned enterprises, regional-owned enterprises, state-owned legal entities, as well as private bodies or corporations that are given the task of organizing public services. The Indonesian Ombudsman provides easy access to the public in submitting reports by opening on-the-spot complaint reception services at several points, such as at the Public Service Mall or visits to villages. So that in 2024 it was recorded that through this access the Indonesian Ombudsman had accommodated 7,436 public complaints.” Before the program was ended by the moderator, a question and answer session, discussion of case studies, group photos, and the handover of souvenirs were held at the second meeting.

The prosecutor’s office is a state institution that has special authority in the field of filing. In the criminal system, the role of the prosecutor’s office is very neutral, especially in terms of the process of enforcing criminal law. The prosecutor’s office in this case acts as a representative of the state to prosecute perpetrators of criminal acts and ensure that justice can be upheld. As for packaging, it is a stage in the imaging process, where the prosecutor is in the general process of filing an indictment against a suspect in court.

In his explanation, the resource person explained that “The Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Indonesia, later referred to as the prosecutor’s office, is a government institution whose function is related to the judicial power that exercises state power in the field of prosecution and other authorities based on the law (Article 1 number 1 of Law No. 11 of 2021 concerning Amendments to Law No. 16 of 2004 concerning the Prosecutor’s Office). In asset recovery, the prosecutor’s office has the authority to conduct tracing, confiscation, and return assets obtained from criminal acts and other assets to the state, victims, or those entitled. As for prosecution, it is an action by the public prosecutor in referring a criminal case to the competent district court in the case and according to the method regulated in this law with a request that it be examined and decided by a judge in a court hearing. In the event that the public prosecutor receives one case file containing several criminal acts committed by several suspects that are not included in the provisions of Article 141, the public prosecutor can prosecute each defendant separately. The indictment itself has valid requirements, namely formal requirements and material requirements.” Here is an explanation from Veronika Oxtafia, S.H., M.M. The event continued with a discussion of case studies, followed by a question and answer session guided by the moderator, and then there was the handover of souvenirs and a group photo with the speakers.

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. This International Guest Lecture event closed with a friendly gathering and lunch together in the Erasmus Room, 3rd Floor, UII Faculty of Law.

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.

[KALIURANG]; On Tuesday, July 9, 2024, Faculty of Law (FH) at Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) hosted a General Lecture featuring human rights activist and expert, Nursyahbani Katjasungkana. As the co-founder of the Indonesian Women’s Association for Justice (APIK), Nursyahbani took time from her busy schedule in the Netherlands to deliver a virtual lecture via Zoom to the Undergraduate Study Program in Law students at UII.

The lecture, themed “Protection of Women within the Framework of Critical Legal Studies (CLS) and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW),” began with remarks from the Head of the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, UII, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D. In his speech, Dodik stated, “This program is excellent, and we hope that Mrs. Nursyahbani Katjasungkana can provide in-depth insights, especially on issues related to women’s rights, which are still rarely discussed in Indonesia. We hope that the Faculty of Law at UII can be a pioneer in expanding and deepening knowledge related to women’s rights.”

Over 60 students and several faculty members from UII attended the event. This lecture is part of the General Lecture Series at the Undergraduate Law Program at FH UII, which aims to enrich students’ knowledge through insights from external experts.

This convention provides detailed guidelines on how women’s rights should be granted, from processes to domestic regulations in all countries, advocating for affirmative actions concerning women’s rights. “In Indonesia, we have started to incorporate these rights into domestic legislation. However, women’s rights should not only be formalistic but should also be applicable and provide equality across all sectors of the nation,” she explained.

Nursyahbani’s lecture provided valuable insights into protecting and promoting women’s rights and highlighted the importance of practical applications in achieving gender equality.
