Soft Law Enforcement in the Nigerien Gendarmerie

Author(s):  
Mirco Göpfert

This chapter explores how gendarmes in the Republic of Niger, notwithstanding their aspiration for popular legitimacy, try to justify their actions, not to others, but to themselves. Civilians bring the stories of their problems to the gendarmes’ attention in the form of complaints. Whether a complaint turns into a case, and thus whether the gendarmes become active, depends on their appreciation of the complainant’s story and whether their ‘vocational ear’ is attuned to this story; and their vocational ear functions much more in terms of the material and moral gravity of the alleged offence, not in terms of the law.

ABSTRAKKetentuan Pasal 4 dan Pasal 16 ayat (1) huruf f Undang-Undang Jabatan Notaris mewajibkan notaris untuk menjaga kerahasiaan segala sesuatu mengenai akta yang dibuatnya dan segala keterangan yang diperoleh guna pembuatan akta sesuai dengan sumpah janji jabatan kecuali undang-undang menentukan lain. Kemungkinan terhadap pelanggaran kewajiban tersebut berdasarkan Pasal 16 ayat (11) Undang-Undang Jabatan Notaris, seorang notaris dapat dikenai sanksi berupa teguran lisan sampai dengan pemberhentian dengan tidak hormat. Terlebih lagi dengan adanya putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia dengan Nomor: 49/PUU–X/2012 memutuskan telah meniadakan atau mengakhiri kewenangan Majelis Pengawas Daerah (MPD) yang tercantum dalam Pasal 66 ayat (1) UUJN membuat notaris seakan-akan tidak ada perlindungan hukum bagi notaris dalam menjalankan tugas jabatannya. Ikatan Notaris Indonesia (INI) harus berusaha menjalankan peranan pembinaan dan perlindungan meningkatkan pengetahuan, kemampuan dan keterampilan para notaris. Demikian juga menjalin hubungan dengan para penegak hukum lainnya, agar penegak hukum lainnya yang ada hubungan dengan notaris dapat memahami kedudukan notaris sesuai UUJN.Berangkat dari pemikiran inilah kewajiban ingkar notaris masih tetap dipertahankan oleh pembuat undang-undang dalam revisi Undang-Undang Jabatan Notaris Tahun 2014 yang merupakan konfigurasi kekuatan perlindungan terhadap profesi dan jabatan notaris dari sisi politik.Kata Kunci : Jabatan Notaris, Hak Ingkar, Perlindungan Hukum.ABSTRACTThe provisions of Article 4 and Article 16 paragraph (1) sub-paragraph f of the Notary's Office Law require a notary to maintain the confidentiality of all matters concerning the deeds it has made and all the information obtained for the deed in accordance with the oath of pledge of office except the law otherwise. The possibility of breach of such obligation under Article 16 paragraph (11) of Notary Law Regulation, a notary public may be subject to sanctions in the form of oral reprimands until dismissal with disrespect. Moreover, with the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia with the number : 49 /PUU-X/2012 deciding to have canceled or terminated the authority of the Regional Supervisory Board (MPD) listed in Article 66 paragraph (1) UUJN made a notary as if there was no legal protection for a notary in performing duties. The Indonesian Notary Bond (INI) should endeavor to undertake the role of guidance and protection to increase the knowledge, abilities and skills of the notaries. Likewise establish relationships with other law enforcers, so that other law enforcement who has relationship with the notary can understand the position of notary under the UUJN.Departing from this thought the obligation of notarization is still maintained by the lawmakers in the revision of the Law Regulation of Position Notary on Year 2014 which is the configuration of the strength of the protection of the profession and the notary's position from the political side.Keyword : Position of Notary, Right of Remedy, Legal Protection.

The law of the Republic of Belarus of July 18, 2019 No. 219-Z "On changing laws" introduced significant changes and additions to the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus. These innovations can be assessed as the third global reform of labor legislation. The importance of this reform is evidenced by the following facts. First, more than 170 articles were corrected. Second, the Code was supplemented with two new chapters. Third, 12 new articles were introduced (except for new chapters), about the same number of articles were excluded. Fourth, 25 articles of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus were set out in a new version. The paper analyzes in detail the new legal definitions of labor function, qualification, contract, and local legal acts. The Law of July 18, 2019 No. 219-Z introduced a new Chapter in the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus on the contract system of employment, which implemented norms from a number of decrees and decrees of the President of the Republic of Belarus. In the course of the last reform, the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus amended the provisions on the term of the employment contract, employment, transfer, changes in essential working conditions, and dismissal of an employee. The paper reveals a number of conflicts, legal and technical errors and legal uncertainties associated with the adoption of the Law of July 18, 2019 No. 219-Z, which may lead to problems in practice when applying the updated Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus. Special attention is given to the new rules of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus on the extension and scope of the collective agreement. The authors make suggestions for improving the labor legislation of Belarus. The comparative legal method is used, in particular, it is compared with the labor legislation of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that the Belarusian legislator has not approached the reform of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus in a well-thought-out and scientifically justified way. The shortcomings of the Law of July 18, 2019 No. 219-Z noted in this paper will be overcome and leveled by law enforcement and personnel practice.

The author describes the conditions and peculiarities of committing corruption-related offenses in the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan and proposes universal methods and tools for detecting corruption crimes in government and management bodies. The paper reflects possible ways to reduce the latency of corruption crimes, among which the author highlights the strengthening of theoretical and legal training of law enforcement officers, the involvement of experts at the stage of a preliminary investigation, the exclusion of the creation of additional structures, bodies, documents in the fight against corruption offenses and crimes. To reduce corruption risks, the author proposes to introduce an open information system of document flow between the law enforcement agencies for receiving appeals about the facts of corruption offences and crimes. The issue of confidentiality and protection of an applicant remains open if the appeal concerns corruption in law enforcement agencies. The author proposes other methods of detecting corruption crimes in government and management bodies by improving operational and investigative activities. The author proposed to supplement part 3.1 of Article 17 of the law “Concerning the State Civil Service” with the words both about the possible business activities (including the activities of a self-employed) of a former state civil servant and the prohibition of such activities for his/her close relatives to exclude the jobbery. It is proposed article 13.3 of the law “Concerning Combating Corruption” should exclude the obligation for organizations to develop anti-corruption documents while maintaining the advisory nature of these actions since the current legislation does not provide for liability for the absence of such documents.
