Adat Law

Indigenous peoples are victims of agrarian conflict, but their existence are not recognized by Indonesia. Indonesia recognizes Adat Law Community, distinct community living in Indonesia according to their Adat Law, and their traditional right. This paper is written based on legal normative research to analyze right of Adat Law Community towards their land and territory; and rule of the court regarding right of Adat Law Community. Adat Law Community has strong relation with their land and territory, namely Ulayat Right which guaranteed in Constitution and regulated in various law and regulation, especially regarding natural resources. Recognition towards Ulayat Right held by Adat Law Community through regional law product is declaratory because it only confirms the exiting right. Court has prominent role to enforce right of Adat Law Community. Constitutional Court has revoked several provisions in law which neglect Ulayat Right of Adat Law Community, such as Adat Forest which defined as state forest located in Adat Law Community’s territory; and Right of Coastal Water which limits Ulayat Right of Adat Law Community to access natural resources in coastal area and small islands. Though Constitutional Court has strengthen right of Adat Law Community, this community still face difficulties to claim their right towards land and territory against government and investor before District Court, High Court, and Supreme Court because those Court more focus on formal legal certainty of Adat Law Community’s authorization towards their land and territory than factual authorization as narrated by the community.

This article investigates the problem of defining ‘people’ and ‘indigenous people’ under the International Human Rights Covenants and their application in the Indonesian context. Using analyses based on the Third World Approach to International Law (twail), this article shows the problems facing Indonesia in identifying indigenous peoples as traditional peoples, in terms of being isolated peoples (Masyarakat Hukum Adat, hereafter mha), and the non-isolated indigenous peoples who were sovereign before the independence of Indonesia. This interpretation has been confusing in relation to the entitlement to natural resources. Therefore, this article proposes a new understanding of indigenous peoples, in order to arrive at better treatment and recognition and in terms of sharing power and the benefits of natural resources in the Indonesian system.

The Impact

Abstract The paper demonstrates how the evolution of international law on colonial and indigenous peoples, in particular evolving rights to sovereignty over natural resources, shaped the changing relationship between Greenland and the rest of the Danish Realm. Greenland today is in a unique position in international law, enjoying an extremely high degree of self-government. This paper explores the history, current status and future of Greenland through the lens of international law, to show how international obligations both colour its relationship with the Kingdom of Denmark and influence its approaches to resource development internally. It considers the invisibility of the Inuit population in the 1933 Eastern Greenland case that secured Danish sovereignty over the entire territory. It then turns to Denmark’s registration of Greenland as a non-self-governing territory (colony) in 1946 before Greenland’s-purported decolonisation in 1953 and the deficiencies of that process. In the second part of the 20th century, Denmark began to recognise the Greenland Inuit as an indigenous people before a gradual shift towards recognition of the Greenlanders as a people in international law, entitled to self-determination, including the right to permanent sovereignty over their natural resources. This peaked with the Self-Government Act of 2009. The paper will then go on to assess competing interpretations of the Self-Government Act of 2009 according to which the Greenland self-government is the relevant decision-making body for an increasing number of fields of competence including, since 1 January 2010, the governance of extractive industries. Some, including members of the Greenland self-government, argue that the Self-Government Act constitutes full implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP 2007), but this view is not universally shared. The paper also considers the status and rights of two Greenland minorities: the North Greenlanders (Inughuit) and the East Greenlanders, each of whom has distinct histories, experiences of colonisation, dialects (or languages) and cultural traditions. While the Kingdom of Denmark accepts the existence of only one indigenous people, namely, the Inuit of Greenland, this view is increasingly being challenged in international fora, including the UN human rights treaty bodies, as the two minorities are in some cases considered distinct indigenous peoples. Their current position in Greenland as well as in a future fully independent Greenland is examined, and the rights that they hold against the Greenland self-government as well as the Kingdom of Denmark explored. Greenland’s domestic regime for governance of non-renewable natural resources (principally mining and hydrocarbons) is briefly analysed and compared with international standards, with a particular emphasis on public participation. The paper assesses the extent to which it complies with the standards in key international instruments.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the principle of non-refoulement as applied in four important recent Korea court decisions regarding the asylum-seeking process at ports of entry. Incheon District Court decision 2014 Gu-Hab 30385 and Seoul High Court decision 2014 Nu 52093 concern a non-referral decision; Inchon District Court decision 2014 In 39 concerns illegal airport detention; and Constitutional Court decision 2014 Heon-Ra 592 concerns the right to counsel. In these cases, the courts ordered changes to the previous detention and deportation system and recognized the right to counsel by asylum applicants at ports of entry. As the Korean refugee status determination process is biased towards denying entry to unwelcome foreigners and biased against recognizing refugees, it is important to recognize the duty of the government to develop a better system at ports of entry in order to prevent the unjustified deportation of asylum seekers back to their country of origin.

Undang-Undang Parpol mengatur bahwa perselisihan Parpol diselesaikan secara internal oleh Mahkamah Partai atau sebutan lain daripada itu dan secara eksternal oleh Pengadilan Negeri dan Mahkamah Agung. Substansi perselisihan yang final dan mengikat di Mahkamah Partai adalah perselisihan kepengurusan, selebihnya dapat diajukan upaya hukum ke Pengadilan Negeri dan Mahkamah Agung. Di dalam praktek, pengaturan tersebut telah menjauhkan dari rasa keadilan, kepastian hukum dan kemanfaatan, oleh karenanya sebaiknya direvisi yang mana perselisihan PAW, pelanggaran terhadap hak anggota partai politik, penyalahgunaan wewenang,  pertanggungjawaban keuangan, dan atau keberatan terhadap keputusan partai politik (termasuk keputusan untuk tidak memutuskan terhadap sesuatu hal) final dan mengikat dengan Putusan MPP. Sedangkan perselisihan kepengurusan dapat diajukan upaya hukum ke Mahkamah Konstitusi. Political parties act stipulates that a political party dispute resolved internally by the Mahkamah Partai or other designation of that and externally resolved by the District Court and the Supreme Court. The dispute substance in Mahkamah Partai which is final and binding is about organization dispute, the other can be settled in District Court and the Supreme Court. In practice, that arrangement makes the decision apart from the sense of justice, legal certainty and utility. Therefore, these rules should be revised so that the regulation of PAW, violations of the rights of members of political parties, abuse of authority, financial liability, or an objection to the decision of political parties (including the decision not to decide on something) is final and binding through Mahkamah Partai decision. While the organization disputes can be submitted to the Constitutional Court for legal action.

AbstractThis paper is the result of research to explore whether the guarantee of religious freedom as guaranteed by Article 29 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia applies to adherents of local religions or beliefs, especially indigenous peoples and their implications for population document services. The location of the first year research was carried out on indigenous peoples in Java, namely the Sunda Wiwitan and Adam Religion from Sedulur Sikep / Samin. Then in the second year, there was research outside Java, namely followers of the Parmalim religion in Laguboti, North Sumatra. The results showed that there were different treatments for indigenous people who were still purely embracing local religions and those who embraced local religions who had converted to one of the recognized religions of the state. For indigenous people who have switched to embrace one of the religions recognized by the state, they are not discriminated against by the state, meaning that they can easily obtain residence documents. Whereas for the indigenous people who continue to embrace the local religion get discriminatory treatment, namely on their Identity (KTP) wrote a column of non-religious beliefs as decided by the Constitutional Court No. No.97 / PUU-XIV / 2016, it is difficult to obtain a marriage certificate, the birth certificate is not as usual, because the marriage of his parents has not been recorded.Keywords: Discrimination, Civil Rights, Population Documents, Local Religion.AbstrakTulisan ini merupakan hasil penelitian untuk menggali apakah benar jaminan kebebasan beragama itu sebagaimana dijamin Pasal 29 ayat (2) UUD NRI 1945 berlaku bagi penganut agama lokal atau kepercayaan, khususnya masyarakat adat dan implikasinya terhadap layanan dokumen kependudukan. Lokasi penelitian tahun pertama telah dilakukan pada masyarakat adat di Jawa, yaitu pada masyarakat penganut Sunda Wiwitan dan Agama Adam dari Sedulur Sikep/Samin. Kemudian pada tahun kedua telah dilakukan penelitian di luar Jawa, yaitu penganut agama Parmalim di Laguboti, Sumatera Utara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, ada perlakuan yang berbeda bagi masyarakat adat yang masih murni memeluk agama lokal dan masyarakat pemeluk agama lokal yang sudah beralih memeluk salah satu agama yang diakui oleh negara. Bagi masyarakat adat yang sudah beralih memeluk salah satu agama yang diakui oleh negara tidak diperlakukan diskriminatif oleh negara, artinya mereka dapat dengan mudah memperoleh dokumen kependudukan. Sedangkan bagi masyarakat adat yang tetap memeluk agama lokal mendapatkan perlakuan diskriminatif, yaitu di KTP mereka tertulis kolom kepercayaan bukan agama seperti yang diputuskan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi No. No.97/PUU-XIV/2016, sulit mendapatkan akta perkawinan, akta kelahiran  tidak sebagaimana umumnya, karena perkawinan orang tuanya belum dicatatkan.Kata Kunci: Diskrininasi, Hak Sipil, Dokumen Kependudukan, Agama Lokal.

First Time

The purpose of implementing land registration is to provide legal certainty and legal protection. The Agrarian Law that is used in Indonesia adheres to a negative system that is tied to a positive system. The land registration activity for the first time produced proof of rights, in the form of certificates as a means of proof of land rights. Certificate as a strong proof of rights means that physical data and juridical data in a certificate have the strength of evidence and must be accepted as true information, as long as it is not proven otherwise with other evidence in the form of certificates or other certificates. In Subari’s case, there was a double land certificate in the same plot of land. Subari has the ownership of land rights that is got from his parents and from purchasing with two buffaloes. But, there are other people who dominate the land that is belong to Subari and they also have the certificate to proof their ownership of the land rights. Settlement of multiple land certificates can be done through the Court, to obtain legal certainty that the certificate of ownership of land rights which has stronger evidence is based on evidence. The district court ruled that ownership of land rights belonged to Subari, and this decision was reinforced by high court and a Supreme Court.[F1]  [F1]Paragarf single
