Some Indonesians in refugee camps in Syria state they want to return to Indonesia. The plan to repatriate the Indonesian ex-ISIS then raises the pros and cons. Some consider that Indonesian citizen who have joined ISIS deserve to be given the opportunity to improve themselves and have a right to be returned to Indonesia if they really want to repent. Some are worried that the repatriation of Indonesian citizen who join ISIS would create new problems in Indonesia. The problem is that among them there are dozens of children, and they are not combatants who took up arms against Iraq and Syria. They just follow where their parents go. Using the normative juridical study method, this paper explains the potential impact that can arise on national security if the Indonesian government adopts a policy of repatriating Indonesian children who used to join ISIS. The results in this study then provide a prescription that should be carried out by the Indonesian government towards Indonesian children who used to join ISIS

Abstract The official launch of the Libra project in 2019, and the subsequent troubles experienced by the project, stimulated a vigorous debate, from different perspectives, on the pros and cons of a private currency with global ambitions. This paper describes the main characteristics of Libra and of its heir, Diem, locating both in a partial taxonomy of the increasingly crowded field of so-called ‘digital currencies’. In the light of the distinguishing features and risks of such an ambitious project, the paper also aims to assess the potential impact on a crucial issue of the present international monetary system: the power to create money.

Post Disaster

During the course of 2018, 70.8 million people globally were forcibly displaced due to natural disasters and conflicts—a staggering increase of 2.9 million people compared to the previous year’s figure. Displaced people cluster in refugee camps which have very often the scale of a medium-sized city. Post-disaster and post-conflict (PDPC) sheltering therefore represents a vitally important element for both the short- and long-term wellbeing of the displaced. However, the constrained environment which dominates PDPC sheltering often results in a lack of consideration of sustainability dimensions. Neglecting sustainability has severe practical consequences on both people and the environment, and in the long run it also incurs higher costs. It is therefore imperative to quickly transfer to PDPC sheltering where sustainability considerations are a key element of the design and decision-making processes. To facilitate such transition, this article reviews both ‘existing solutions’ and ‘novel designs’ for PDPC sheltering against the three pillars of sustainability. Both clusters are systematically categorized, and pros and cons of solutions and designs are identified. This provides an overview of the attempts made so far in different contexts, and it highlights what worked and what did not. This article represents a stepping-stone for future work in this area, to both facilitate and accelerate the transition to sustainable sheltering.

The buzz about the 5G technology has been going on for a few years now. The technology even before its inception has had its fair share of controversy with concerns over its influence on the environment and national security. Recently, some conspiracy theories branded 5G as the primary cause of COVID-19. As the technology develops, one realises that 5G has many positives and potential in the field of mobile communication. To tap this potential, 5G is being simultaneously developed by many companies globally. Unlike earlier generations of mobile communication, 5G offers numerous benefits when adopted in the maritime domain. Hence, technologically advanced nations are experimenting with the use of 5G in shipping, ports and shipbuilding. While the understanding of the 5G technology is still at the nascent stage for most of us, this article aims to discuss the potential of 5G in commercial shipping by discussing the pros and cons associated with this technology. The article overall aims to provide a start point for future work and studies on the use of this technology in the maritime industry and by no means is considered a ‘one-stop’ solution to the problems of commercial shipping.

The passage of Village Act No. 6 2014 spurs pros and cons among the community of West Sumatera. Some see the act as the chance to re-implement “nagari” system (a traditional village administration in Minangkabau community who lives in West Sumatera); others view it as an encouragement to separate from the Republic of Indonesia. However, this act is a product of the nation’s law, and elaborated in The Indonesian Government Regulation No. 47 2015 about the Change of Government Regulation No. 43 2014 about the Regulation on Implementation of Village Act No.6 2014, which says that it has to be implemented and obeyed nationwide. The implementation causes opportunities and challenges to the traditional village. Traditional village, called ‘nagari’ in West Sumatera, is recognized as legal community based on its traditional and historical rights. This means West Sumatera’s nagari is recognized autonomically after the passage of the Village Act No. 6 2014. This article deliberates the discourse on implementation of the Village Act to improve the nagari’s autonomy in West Sumatera from the sociological perspective.

In 2015 the Government of Indonesia carried out three stages of executions of 18 inmates, out of 18 convicted prisoners, only 4 inmates were Indonesian citizens, the rest were foreign nationals, this was what later made the execution of death executions by the Indonesian government in 2015 a global spotlight . For the Indonesian government, the execution of several people convicted of narcotics and illegal drugs is a logical consequence of the spirit of law enforcement in Indonesia. It is also evidence of the government's commitment in its fight against drugs. In Indonesia, violations and crimes against the misuse of narcotics and illegal drugs are high class crimes (extra ordinary crime) as well as terrorism. This article discusses how the history of the death penalty, then also about the existence of the implementation of the death penalty in the legal system in Indonesia, furthermore also about the debate and pros and cons of the implementation of the death penalty, and the last is about the implementation of the death penalty in the perspective of human rights relativeiseme. This arithmetic draws the conclusion that the development of the pendang way of carrying out the death penalty is strongly influenced by historical factors of the country concerned. In addition, natural factors (culture) and culture (culture) also influence the development of thought implementation and application of the death penalty.

Freeport-McMoran has explored valuable natural resources in Indonesia by digging gold and copper in Papua since 1967. This essay analyzed the impacts of this new agreement toward the future of the US-Indonesia bilateral relationship as well as reveal Jokowi’s diplomatic approach to gain this agreement. The analysis in this article uses a qualitative approach based on secondary data. The data collected from the official reports of Freport-Mcmoran and other relevant sources. Indonesian government always try to lobby US government through soft diplomacy in order to maintain bilateral relationship. The renegotiation allows the contract extension of the company (until 2041) which will be expired in 2021. Indonesian government still need the US as bilateral partner since this super power country has already played significant roles by contributing economic growth, democratic development, and national security in Indonesia. Hence, Indonesia is carefully approaching the US government to avoid negative effects of Indonesia-Freeport’s renegotiation.

Control Regime

In recent years, regulators and politicians have raised questions about whether merger control is “fit for purpose” in the modern economy, and in particular about whether the consumer welfare standard remains the appropriate lens through which to assess transactions, or whether merger control should consider the potential impact of a transaction on broader public interest (PI) objectives, such as employment, the environment, data privacy, national security, or industrial or trade policy. Many merger control regimes globally already include a public interest component, and in thinking about whether it would be reasonable or appropriate to add or strengthen the PI component of a merger control regime, it may be helpful to look at regimes that already include a PI component to consider the ways in which this may be structured and whether these standards are likely to be successful in achieving PI aims. This piece surveys the existing merger control regimes with a PI component to identify lessons that may be useful for jurisdictions considering whether and how to expand a merger control regime to include PI.

Maritime Domain Awareness

The International Maritime Organization has mandated carriage requirements for VHF Automatic Identification System (AIS) on vessels over 300 tons by 2007 (IMO SOLAS: 1974 and IMO Resolution MSC.99(73)). The AIS will transmit a vessel's position and voyage data to other AIS-equipped vessels and shore-based authorities. It was envisioned that AIS data could enhance the safety of navigation by allowing vessels to quickly identify each other and use Digital Select Calling (DSC) to arrange maneuvers. We will discuss the history and the development of AIS, the technical issues surrounding its use by the mariner as a navigation tool and the pros and cons of the proposal by the US Coast Guard (USCG) to use AIS as a means of surveillance for Maritime Domain Awareness.

Pros And Cons

This paper aims to analyze the hybridition of heavy metal and Islam through Islamic metal in Jakarta, Bandung and several other places in Indonesia, which have changed the metal scene in Indonesia. This paper uses a descriptive discussion with qualitative methods and concepts of hybridization and cosmopolitanism. The results of this study indicate, Islamic metal occurs, because of the low conflict between government, Islam and metal. The presence of Islamic metal in the metal scene changes community patterns, habits and identity in metal, by applying values based on Islam. The existence of Islamic metal as a new sub-genre incites the pros and cons of Islam and the metal scene, because it considers the phenomenon of exclusivity in inclusiveness in metal.
