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.

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.

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.

Israeli military troops reportedly attacked hundreds of residents of Gaza, Palestine, Thursday (29/2/2024). At least 112 people were reported killed in the attack. The victims were civilians who were queuing and gathering to wait for food aid in northern Gaza. This incident again increased the number of civilian and child casualties.

Responding to this critical condition, The Undergraduate Study Program in Law Faculty of Law (FH) Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) took the initiative to hold a Public Lecture with the theme “The Role of International Justice for the State of Palestine”. FH UII invited a native Palestinian, Fatma Al Ghussain as Executive Director of the Amna Care Fund, a humanitarian organization that distributes aid to the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Territory, as a speaker at a Public Lecture held on Monday (4/3) at 13.00 IWT at Audiovisual Room, 4th Floor, Faculty of Law Building Universitas Islam Indonesia.

in her presentation, Fatma stated that Israel has colonized Palestine since 1948 until today. Currently Gaza is in the process of a total siege. “There is no electricity, no water, no food, no medicine, no hospitals, no schools, because they burned down more than 350 schools and 80 hospitals,” he said at the start of the lecture. “This is not a religious conflict, this is very clearly genocide. Israel wants to destroy and eliminate the Palestinian people by any means. “You can even see them destroying churches and killing our brothers who embrace Christianity,” said Fatma.

This event then continued with a discussion and question and answer session moderated by the Undergraduate Study Program in Law Faculty of Law Universitas Islam Indonesia, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D. “The UN Security Council is the highest institution to make a decision whether this conflict can be ended or not, but one of the UN Security Councils, namely the United States, always uses its veto so that a resolution against Palestine and Israel is impossible,” he explained in answer to one of the students’ questions. Many countries hold a lot of evidence of crimes committed by Israel, one of which is Indonesia. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia then fought for Palestinian independence by providing an Advisory Opinion to the International Court of Justice. “As we know, Palestine has become one of the participants in the Ratification of the International Criminal Court, so that is an important asset for them to take this case to a more serious stage,” said the International Law Lecturer at Faculty of

[KALIURANG]; The Doctoral Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia held a preliminary examination on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 13:00 WIB, during which the examinee presented the dissertation proposal, “Reformulation of Policies for Handling Klitih Street Crime in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.”

In his proposal, Made Wira stated that klitih is one of the crime phenomena that is of concern in Jogja, which, in several incidents, has resulted in fatalities. However, until now, there has been no KUHP that specifically defines the term klitih itself. So, it is necessary to search for the true meaning of klitih in order to create policies to deal with the klitih problem, which is increasingly growing in Yogyakarta.

Made Wira’s research will attempt to determine whether klitih is merely uncontrollable child mischief or an organized crime that is causing worries in society. The type of research proposed is empirical (non-doctrinal) legal research with a qualitative descriptive analysis method.

Prof. Dr. M. Syamsudin, the head of the doctoral study program in law, presided over the examination along with promoter Prof. Dr. Rusli Muhammad, S.H., M.H., co-promoter Dr. Aroma Elmina Martha, S.H., M.H., and examiner Prof. Dr. Hartiwiningsih, S.H., M.Hum., Prof. Dr. Marcus Priyo Gunarto, S.H., M.Hum., Prof. Hanafi Amrani, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., and Dr. M. Arif Setiawan, S.H., M.Hum.

Mardona Siregar, a doctoral candidate, presented her dissertation, “Reconstruction of the Formation of Regional Regulations Concerning Regional Taxes in North Sumatra Province in the Context of Strengthening Regional Autonomy,” at the Doctoral Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (PSHPD FH UII).

According to Promovendus, Mardona Siregar’s research looked at why the North Sumatra Central Government got rid of a lot of regional tax regulations. It also looked at what the regional government and DPRD did to improve the quality of the regional tax regulations in North Sumatra. Finally, it looked at how ideas were rebuilt to make a Regional Regulation on Regional Taxes in North Sumatra that was strict.

The findings of Mardona’s dissertation research first demonstrate that there are three factors that led the central government in North Sumatra to cancel many regional regulations on regional taxes. Second, there are two initiatives by the Regional Government and DPRD to enhance the caliber of the creation of regional tax regulations in North Sumatra. Third, the reconstruction of the concept in the formation of the Regional Regulation on Regional Taxes in North Sumatra to strengthen regional autonomy can be carried out philosophically.
