<p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Bantuan hukum adalah salah satu upaya mengisi hak asasi manusia terutama bagi lapisan termiskin masyarakat. Konstitusi menjamin hak setiap warga negara mendapat perlakuan yang sama di muka hukum, termasuk hak untuk mengakses keadilan melalui pemberian bantuan hukum. Orang kaya dan mempunyai kekuasaan, dengan mudah mengakses dan mendapatkan “keadilan”, melalui tangan-tangan advokat yang disewanya. Tidak demikian halnya kelompok masyarakat miskin, mereka tidak mempunyai kemampuan untuk memahami hukum  dan tidak mampu untuk membayar advokat,  hal demikian menyebabkan tidak ada perlakuan yang sama di muka hukum untuk mengakses keadilan.<strong></strong></p><p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong><br /> Legal aid is an effort to fulfill the human rights, especially of the poorest groups of the society. The Constitution guarantees the right of every citizen to equal treatment before the law, including the right to access justice through legal aid. The haves and those having power would easily access and obtain justice, through the hands of advocates employed.

As opposed to authors who strive to justify the right of access to public passenger transport services of citizens predominantly on the principles of justice deriving from social ethics, the authors of this article justify the right of such access on the human rights to mobility and equality before the law, as the rights based on international legal acts, whereas the principles of fairness are used to upgrade the human right to equality and prohibition of discrimination. Based on the rights to mobility and equality before the law, the authors justify an obligation of democratic states to introduce a law to provide for people an adequate access to public passenger transport services at the interurban and urban level. The theoretical findings established herein will serve as a basis to evaluate legal regulations in the selected states (the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Croatia), and create proposals to change the same.

The protection of Indonesian children as the nation's next-generation that is free from discrimination has not been fully implemented, it is evident in our society that there are still many children who do not get enough attention in protecting and fulfilling their rights. Children born out of wedlock are sometimes not recognized and neglected by their biological father. Unlike legitimate children whose rights are guaranteed and there are sanctions if these rights are not fulfilled by the father, for children born outside of marriage there is no penalty if the biological father neglects them. The method used in this research is the normative legal research method. This paper discusses the conditions of children born outside of marriage in Indonesia, discrimination against children born outside of marriage in Indonesia, and expectations for children born outside of marriage in Indonesia. Currently, there are no laws and regulations that state sanctions if the biological father does not want to be responsible for the birth of this child. This is certainly not in accordance with the mandate of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Article 28D paragraph (1) which reads: “Everyone has the right to recognition, guarantee, protection and legal certainty that is just and equal treatment before the law.
