ABSTRACT Fisheries subsidies norms and discussions at present are based on the subsidy framework under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. This approach is pertinent vis-à-vis various types of governmental subsidies provided to fisheries industries. It, however, fails to tackle illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, one of the core targets of the fisheries subsidies norms, because few governments ‘subsidize’ illegal activities such as IUU. As far as IUU fishing is concerned, the real challenge is not about subsidies but about how to enforce domestic laws and regulations to punish owners, operators, and fishermen engaged in such illegal activities. Future discussion of fisheries subsidies norms regarding IUU should reflect the law enforcement aspect in addition to the present subsidy aspect.

This research aimed to: (a) obtain the forms of copyright infringement of songs and/or music (with or without lyrics); (b) understand the role of the police, in this case the Police Precinct, in the law enforcement; (c) identify the factors that influenced the law enforcement. The research method used the normative-empirical legal research, with the initial stages of specifying norms in order to get the proper picture, and then specifying empirical events in order to get the real picture. The research results showed several matters: 1) The forms of copyright infringement of songs and/or music (with or without lyrics) found included: the distribution of the works or the copies, the performances of the works, and the announcements of the works; 2) Police Precinct did notultimately carry out their role as a law enforcer for the copyright infringement of songs and/or music (with or without lyrics); and 3) The factors that influenced the law enforcement on the copyright infringement of songs and/or music (with or without lyrics), namely: legislation factor, in the matter of complaint offenses; law enforcement factor, in terms of the capacity of members; less supportive factor of facilities and infrastructure; legal awareness factor, in the problem of the lack of legal counseling; and cultural factor, related to the differences in norms in the copyright law between those in society and those in regulations.

<p class="IABSSS">The dominance of legal positivism in thought and law enforcement is a reality. Saintism of legal science presents a law that is conceptualized as something that exists in sensory terms, along with its straightforward, rational, and objective nature. Law is always requested objectively. Objectivity is done by freeing the subject's mind to the legal reality that already exists as an object. Therefore, various legal cases such as the case of Asyani, Rasminah, Minah and others, are things that are easily proven as violating the law because it is a violation of the text of the article of law. Such a way of law, is now starting to become a public concern. So, when objectivity begins to be questioned, that's when the real subjectivity of asking begins to be considered - and this will be explained [only] in the study of legal philosophy, especially paradigmatic studies. This paper will discuss the possibility of subjectivity in law, which will be presented in the paradigmatic study.</p>

The article deals with the problems of the concept of the image of the law enforcement system. The basis of this concept is the legal content. The core image of the law enforcement system is formed in the law. However, the very concept of the image of the law enforcement system cannot be fixed in the text of the law. It manifests itself in law through other concepts and constructions.

<em>This paper examines the law enforcement in public domain. The court decisions on many cases often undergo disparities that deny the sense of justice. The disparities increasingly appear when the case comes to people who have political or economic power. However, when the case comes to the poor, who do not have power and so on, the law can be very sharp to enforce. In perspective of the progressive law, the case of </em>Nenek Minah is<em> ideally not relevant to prosecute at the court. In fact, that case shows that the working of the law in Indonesia is still based on the text rather than the context. The law enforcement is solely based on the written provisions (legalistic-positivistic) without paying attention to sociological dimension, so that the law enforcement is still far away from the purpose of law that is able to present the real justice.</em>

<p><em>The </em><em>Failure to enforce law and justice will be one of the factors of social dis-integration. If it is responded well and systematically it will be a threat to a country's failure. These initial symptoms can be seen from the emergence of various vigilante acts. The empty spaces filled with violence are caused by the vacuum of law. The law fails to do its job to solve social problems that arise. The explanation in this paper seeks to analyze the root problem of the failure of law enforcement in Indonesia seen in the perspective of the legal system by Friedman. To analyze the solution, the perspective used is an analysis of the style of progressive law as stated by Satjipto Rahardjo. The use of these two perspectives is expected to be able to describe well the real fundamental problem in our current law enforcement</em></p>

A participatory society can play an essential role in the prosecution of corruption cases. By providing information on alleged corruption, a participatory community can assist anti-corruption institutions so that corruption as an extraordinary crime can be eradicated as a means of enforcing people's constitutional rights. The authors attempt to perceive things by defending constitutional rights from a societal standpoint, a right of citizens who have had their rights violated by acts of corruption. The method used in this research is a normative legal method that refers to the norms in the laws and regulations, court decisions, and social society.  The data used is secondary data obtained from various sources with appropriate and relevant topics so that it becomes chaotic in discussing related problems. The community's active role in uncovering corruption cases is part of the obligation to break the chain of corruption and fulfil citizens' rights to enforce the law. The amount of budget allocated for disclosing corruption cases is leading the government to protect citizens' constitutional rights from the threat of corruption. Although the handling is still considered unsuccessful because many cases have not been revealed, the efforts made deserve to be recognised.

Chapter 8 closely examines criminal activities. Bandits engaged in a large variety of illegal activities. They formed predatory gangs to operate outside the law and used real and implied violence to prey upon and manipulate others. They became involved in what the Qing government regarded as serious crimes, such as robbery, theft, snatching, kidnapping, extortion, murder, and rape. Most of these crimes carried the death penalty. Some gangs, and in particular sworn brotherhoods, also became increasingly involved in organized forms of crime including prostitution, gambling, and opium smuggling. While banditry occurred everywhere in Guangdong, contrary to conventional wisdom, bandits and brotherhoods were most active in the core Canton delta and along major inland trade routes. The archival evidence strongly suggests an underlying economic, not political, basis for banditry and brotherhood activities in late imperial Guangdong.
