This article aims to examine the position of the convict as justice collaborator in revealing organized crime. A justice collaborator can assist law enforcement officers. The background of the study is the concept of crown witness, which is often used in proving criminal cases, even though it violates human rights. A difficulty in revealing organized crime is that perpetrators mostly do not disclose their criminal network and the parties involved. Information from the convict related to the network of the crime they committed makes law enforcement officers easier to reveal the organized crime. This study used a juridical analysis with an approach to laws and regulations, conceptual method, and comparative method. The results of the study show that convict who chose to become a justice collaborator has a vital role. Law enforcement officers can take advantage of this role in exposing organized crimes without human rights violations to the convict. The convict can have a reward in the form of parole and additional remissions.

The article is devoted to the analysis of such a phenomenon as "impersonal morality" in the context of human rights and freedoms and emphasizes that it is "impersonal morality" that is becoming a mandatory element of it at the present stage of humanity. It is revealed that the current state of morality is in a state of personification and cognitive distortion, which indicates the impossibility of returning to a single "universal morality of mankind" and therefore it makes sense to speak only of "impersonal morality" - written and regulated by moral precepts for certain groups of people certain activities (law enforcement officials, judges, lawyers, health workers, etc.) - where human rights violations are most likely.

Related to the general provisions of Law No. 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights, which states that the beginnings of the history of the Indonesian nation to date have recorded various problems including: suffering, misery and social inequality, resulting from unjust and discriminatory acts and actions on ethnic, racial, cultural understanding, language, color, skin, and religion, as well as class, gender, and even social status and others. These unjust and discriminatory acts are included in violations of human rights, both vertically "carried out by the state apparatus itself to citizens or even vice versa" or those that are horizontal "ie between citizens themselves" and do not allow those included in the category for gross violations of the conception of human rights (grossviolation of human rights). This alternative to minimize human rights violations in criminal law enforcement is an effective way to reduce the number of human rights violations in Indonesia.

Law enforcement in the Military Court System in the settlement of criminal cases committed by TNI soldiers is seen as not yet fully guaranteeing legal protection for the rights of suspects, this is due to the absence of a control agency that oversees the actions of law enforcement officers in carrying out their duties and authorities as is the case in the system. General Court. This condition should not drag on indefinitely, because it will affect the law enforcement process and harm the suspect to fight for his rights to obtain justice which results in human rights violations (TNI soldiers). The purpose of the establishment of the Pretrial Institution is as stated in the Elucidation of Article 80 of the Criminal Procedure Code which states that this article intends to uphold law, justice, and truth through horizontal supervision. Settlement of criminal cases in Indonesia in addition to the Code of Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) which applies to civil society, we also recognize the existence of the Military Criminal Procedure Code which is regulated in Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Courts, namely the law that regulates the procedure for resolving criminal cases. a criminal case committed by a TNI soldier. The Law on Military Courts includes the provisions of the litigation process (Military Criminal Procedure Law) starting from the investigation stage, submission of cases, the examination process at trial to the implementation of decisions. 31 of 1997 does not regulate pretrial. In several cases in the Military Court where a suspect was detained without a warrant for detention or was late in obtaining a warrant for detention, therefore such actions may conflict with the principles applicable in the provisions of criminal law so that they do not respect the position of the suspect as a creature created by God, even the act can lead to human rights violators. Therefore, in the military justice system in Indonesia, pretrial institutions are needed as a form of horizontal external supervision.

Animal cruelty is an immoral crime that usurps animal rights, while exploitation of endangered animals is an act that has the potential to kill biodiversity in its country. The purpose of this article is to evaluate law enforcement against animal cruelty in Indonesia and its obstacles. The methodology used in this research is normative legal research which focused on secondary data approach. Although laws that regulate these criminal acts exist, such as Article 302 Criminal Code which explains the prohibition of actions that are detrimental to animal health, Law 5/1990 concerning conservation of the living natural resources and its ecosystem, added with Law18/2009 concerning husbandry and animal health, criminal cases regarding maltreatment and exploitation of circus animals, also abuse to killing pets and hunting of protected wildlife are still rampant. This could happen because of weak law enforcement that prevents deterrence. Criminal sanctions given to the perpetrators of animal cruelty are considered very light and justice for animal welfare is almost non existent. Factors that cause weak law enforcement are unsupportive constitutions, law enforcers, law facilities, its country community, and the legal culture factor. In order to overcome this matter, formulation of appropriate law to ensure legal certainty, a supportive constitution, education about biodiversity to the community, a proper surveillance system, assertiveness in law enforcement officers, and availability of adequate facilities are needed. Penganiayaan terhadap hewan merupakan suatu tindak kejahatan asusila yang merampas hak hewan. Sementara eksploitasi satwa langka adalah suatu tindakan yang berpotensi mematikan keanekaragaman hayati dalam negara. Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku penganiayaan hewan dan eksploitasi satwa langka di Indonesia, serta faktor penghambatnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk menyusun artikel ini adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif yang berfokus pengumpulan data sekunder. Walau sudah ada peraturan perundang-undangan yang mengatur tindak pidana tersebut, seperti pada Pasal 302 KUHP yang membahas mengenai larangan perbuatan yang merugikan kesehatan hewan, UU 5/1990 tentang Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam Hayati dan Ekosistemnya, ditambah dengan UU 18/2009 tentang Peternakan dan Kesehatan Hewan, kasus-kasus seperti penganiayaan dan eksploitasi hewan sirkus, juga penganiayaan hingga pembunuhan terhadap hewan peliharaan dan perburuan satwa liar yang dilindungi masih saja marak terjadi. Hal ini diakibatkan oleh penegakan hukum yang lemah sehingga efek jera gagal dimunculkan. Sanksi pidana yang diberikan kepada pelaku tindak pidana dinilai sangat ringan dan eksistensi keadilan bagi kesejahteraan hewan hampir tidak ada. Penegakan hukum yang lemah disebabkan oleh faktor Undang-Undang, penegak hukum, sarana dan fasilitas, faktor masyarakat, dan faktor budaya hukum. Dibutuhkan perumusan suatu aturan yang menjamin kepastian hukum untuk mendongkrak efektivitas hukum, penyuluhan masyarakat, sistem pengawasan yang memadai, ketegasan dari para aparat penegak hukum, dan ketersediaan fasilitas dan sarana yang memadai.

Structural Positions

Abstract The crime gender gap is the difference between the levels of participation of men and women in crime, with men responsible for more crime than women. Recent evidence suggests that the crime gender gap is closing, both in crime in general and in organized crime. However, organized crime differs from other forms of criminal activity in that it entails an organizational structure of cooperation among offenders. Assessing whether the gender gap in organized crime is narrowing is not only about the overall levels of involvement of women, but about their roles and positions within the organized criminal structure, because the involvement of women does not mean that they are in influential positions, or that they have power or access to resources important for the commission of organized crime. This paper uses a social network approach to systematically compare the structural positions of men and women in an organized criminal network. We use a dataset collected by Canadian Law Enforcement consisting of 1390 individuals known or suspected to be involved in organized crime, 185 of whom are women. Our analysis provides evidence for an ongoing gender gap in organized crime, with women occupying structural positions that are generally associated with a lack of power. Overall, women are less present in the network, tend to collaborate with other women rather than with men, and are more often in the disadvantageous position of being connected by male intermediaries. Implications for theory and law enforcement practice are discussed.

Abstract This article will review criminal cases brought under universal jurisdiction (hereinafter “UJ”) laws against Israeli officials1 accused of committing human rights violations against Palestinians. It will describe the challenges to bringing such cases and suggest that political opposition is the main reason there has yet to be such a prosecution. It will propose that UJ remains a viable option for pursuing accountability for Palestinian human rights violations but will suggest ways in which the chance of success for future cases can be improved arguing, in particular, that cases more likely to succeed are those which focus on lower-level perpetrators, in which perpetrators or victims are nationals of forum jurisdictions and that are better integrated into broader advocacy strategies.

In Indonesia, the nature and form of corruption that has been systemic, thus making every effort to eradicate is not automatically easy to do just because of changes in democraticpolitical constellation. Corruption is closely related to the factor of abuse of authority or influence existing on the person’s position as an official who deviates from the law so that the action is detrimental to the state’s economy and finances. The act of corruption is complex as a complex crime is expressed by the increasingly sophisticated modus operandi used and the shrewdness of the perpetrators in removing traces makes the disclosure of corruption criminal cases increasingly difficult to reach, thus requiring a long time and a difficult way to provesufficiently juridically.Considering that Corruption has been classified as extraordinary crime so that in the effort of eradication and eradication it can no longer be done normally, but in extraordinary ways (Extra Ordinary Counter Measures) as described in general explanation of Law Number: 20 Year 2001 and Law Number: 30 Year 2002 about Corruption Eradication Commission. Necessary support of all components of the nation so that law enforcement officers need not hesitate to take action against anyone who commits a criminal act of corruption because the responsibility of eradicating corruption not only lies on the shoulders of law enforcer only, butalso the responsibility of all components of the nation.
