In July 1796, Johannes Albertyn, a well-respected burgher of Stellenbosch, requested permission from Ryno van der Riet, landdrost of Stellenbosch, the chief administrative and legal officer of the district, to indenture four Khoikhoi children. He claimed that their mother, Catryn Paerl, had died recently and that before her demise, she had requested him in the presence of witnesses to raise her children and deny their biological father Jan Paerl any future role in their lives. Faced with the prospect of losing custody of his four children and having exhausted all possible avenues in seeking legal redress, including a visit to landdrost Van der Riet, the seemingly incomparable Jan Paerl hit the road and walked several kilometres from Stellenbosch to Cape Town. His destination: the Castle, in particular the office of the fiscal, otherwise known as the public prosecutor. In Cape Town, he urged the fiscal to intervene in the dispute and deny Albertyn the right to indenture his children. As their father, Paerl insisted that he, and not Albertyn, be granted sole custody of his offspring. By Paerl's demanding legal intervention at the highest level, the following encounter between Paerl, Albertyn and the Cape authorities exemplifies not only a classic struggle between master and servant, but highlights simultaneously the significance of ‘equality’ before the law in Cape society, at a time when burghers increasingly feared the possibility of gelykstelling at the end of the eighteenth century.

Korupsi sebagai salah satu kejahatan yang bersifat luar biasa (Extra Ordinary Crime) dikarenakan begitu sulit dalam membuktikan kejahatan tersebut oleh penegak hukum, maka dari itu dibutuhkan kinerja extra untuk memberantas tindak pidana korupsi tersebut. Olehnya itu, mengenai pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi dengan menggunakan ketentuan-ketentuan yang ada dalam Undang Undang hal itu diterapkan dalam Undang Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999. Undang Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi, dimana beberapa pasalnya menganut tentang sistem pembuktian terbalik terbatas/berimbang. Pasal pasal yang mengatur tentang sistem pembuktian terbalik lebih jelas diatur dalam Pasal 12B, 12C, 37A, 38A, dan 38B. Pemberlakuan sistem pembuktian terbalik dalam perkara delik korupsi terhadap terdakwa meskipun hanya terbatas pada perkara suap (Gratifikasi) di atas Rp. 10 jt. Namun dengan adanya kewajiban terdakwa untuk membuktikan delik korupsi yang didakwakan kepadanya serta harta benda yang patut diduga berasal dari tindak pidana korupsi dan tidak bertumpuh lagi kepada jaksa penuntut umum, maka diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi dalam pemberantasan tindak pidana korupsi tersebut sebab perampasan terhadap harta benda terdakwa dapat dilakukan jika terdakwa tidak dapat membuktikan delik korupsi yang didakwakan kepadanya. Corruption is one of extraordinary crimes because it is so difficult in proving these crimes by law enforcement, and thus it requires extra performance to eradicate corruption. Therefore, regarding the eradication of corruption by using the provisions contained in the Law, this is applied in Law Number 31 Year 1999. Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crime, in which several articles adhere to a reversed proof system is limited/balanced. Articles governing the reverse proof system are more clearly regulated in Articles 12B, 12C, 37A, 38A, and 38B. The implementation of the reversed proof system is in the case of corruption offenses against the defendant even though it is only limited to bribery cases (Gratification) over Rp10 million. However, with the defendant's obligation to prove the corruption offense charged with him and property that is reasonably suspected of originating from criminal acts of corruption and no longer rests on the public prosecutor, then it is expected to be a solution in eradicating these criminal acts of corruption because the confiscation of the assets of the defendant can be done if the defendant cannot prove the corruption offense charged with him.

Abstract This study aims to determine the law enforcement of trading in influence in practices and urgency of trading in influence regulation as a community development tool. The method in this study uses a normative juridical method with descriptive analytical specifications. This research is different from previous research where an assessment was carried out in the urgency of trading in influence regulation which is connected with the theory of community development. In practice, to ensnare perpetrators of corruption by trading their influence often uses the provisions of the criminal act of bribery, this is because there is a legal vacuum in Indonesia's positive law. When described and reflected in regulations in other countries, trading in influence has a different element from bribery. To overcome the culture of influence trading which is a criminal act of corruption, a means of community development is needed to change the culture of corruption itself. The results of the study reveal that by looking at the law enforcement of Trading in Influence in practice, the public prosecutor often charges a defendant by using Article 11 of Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1), whereas it can be said that not all of the elements of the article are fulfilled for the act of Trading In Influence when compared with the regulations stipulated in Article 18 UNCAC. Due to the vacuum of law, law enforcers are not effective in carrying out their duties. In order for law enforcement to run optimally and on target, it is important to formulate trading in influence arrangements. For the formulation of Trading in Influence, it is necessary to change and reform the law aimed at community development so that legal objectives can be achieved.Keywords: development; public; trading in influenceAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penegakan hukum trading in influence dalam praktik dan urgensi pengaturan trading in influence sebagai sarana pembangunan masyarakat. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan spesifikasi deskriptif analitis. Penelitian ini berbeda dengan penelitian terdahulu dimana dilakukan pengkajian dalam urgensi pengaturan trading in influence yang dihubungkan dengan teori pembangunan masyarakat. Dalam praktiknya untuk menjerat pelaku korupsi dengan memperdagangkan pengaruh yang dimilikinya seringkali menggunakan ketentuan tindak pidana suap, hal ini dikarenakan adanya kekosongan norma dalam hukum positif Indonesia. Apabila diuraikan dan bercermin pada pengaturan pada Negara lain, perdagangan pengaruh yang dikenal dengan trading in influence memiliki unsur yang berbeda dengan suap. Untuk mengatasi budaya perdagangan pengaruh yang merupakan tindak pidana korupsi diperlukan suatu sarana dalam pembangunan masyarakat untuk mengubah budaya korupsi itu sendiri. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan dengan melihat penegakan hukum trading in influence dalam praktik, seringkali penuntut umum mendakwakan seorang terdakwa dengan menggunakan Pasal 11 UU No. 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi juncto Pasal 55 ayat (1) juncto Pasal 64 ayat (1), padahal dapat dikatakan tidak seluruh unsur pasal tersebut terpenuhi untuk perbuatan trading in influence apabila dibandingkan dengan pengaturan yang diatur dalam Pasal 18 UNCAC. Oleh karena adanya kekosongan norma, penegak hukum menjadi tidak efektif dalam menjalankan tugasnya. Agar penegakan hukum dapat berjalan dengan maksimal dan tepat sasaran, pengaturan trading in influence menjadi hal penting untuk dirumuskan. Untuk perumusan trading in influence perlu adanya perubahan dan pembaharuan hukum yang bertujuan pada pembangunan masyarakat agar tujuan hukum dapat tercapai.

<p>Right on marks are a source of material wealth for their owners because they have economic value that can bring high profits. Marks in trade also have dual<br />functions as competition tools and monopoly tools. Therefore, every mark owner needs to register his mark in order to get legal protection. Because in reality everyday there are many violations of the mark even though the mark has been registered, so the registered mark owner feels aggrieved. Violations due to people wanting to make a profit by cutting short the example of a registered and well-known mark, in addition to the Human Resources of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property itself also lacks control over the law on mark, so marks that should be rejected by many are approved. In addition, the Law Enforcement has indeed been implemented, but not maximal. This can be seen from the demands and fines of the Public Prosecutor and the Decision of the Panel of Judges is still very light</p>

The problems of the so-called poisonous tree in the course of the preliminary legal proceedings appear and continue to appear basically in every individual instance of the evaluation of the body of evidence submitted to the public prosecutor’s department. The task of the public prosecutor’s department has to do inter alia with the keeping of law and order and the supervision of the prosecution of crime. This task is realised by the supervision of the consistency of the preliminary legal proceedings with the law, and the initialisation and the performance of operational-examination activities by law enforcement organs in the scope of activities which is stipulated in the acts of law which regulate the organisation and the object of activities of these organs. The supervision which was indicated should be realised in an in-depth, comprehensive and substantive manner. Within the framework of the evaluation of the activities engaged by other organs, inluding those that are authorised to execute and conduct operation-related activities, the public prosecutor is obliged to evaluate the correctness of the process of the accumulation of evidence and the making of decisions in terms of the scope and the means of utilising the said evidence. Such control may and should be conducted with reference to the constitutional principles, described particularly in Art. 2 – the principle of a democratic state of law, Art. 7 – the principle of legalism, Art. 45 Par. 1 – the principle of the right to a trial and the resulting principle of the right to due process. The regulations of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland have not been modified since 1997, therefore with the changed state of the regulations of the Code of Criminal Law (the addition of new regulations in Art. 168 a and b ) or the competence-related acts of law, it is still possible to interpret these regulation in terms of the constitutional norms which were indicated. The new content which was introduced to the code of criminal procedure is a source of serious constitution-related doubts, and the evaluation of the material which was submitted to be treated during criminal proceedings may lead to statements that the very fact of having acquired a piece of evidence with the violation of regulations or by means of a criminal offense and the simultaneous violation of the regulations of the Constitutions is sufficient to preclude the utilisation of a given piece of evidence in these legal proceedings and to preclude the establishment of the actual state of affairs on the basis of such a piece of evidence. It is impossible to accept a situation in which the functionaries of the state, i.e. of public authorities, can collect evidence-related material in violation of the law which is binding and it is in keeping with the law that, on the basis of this material, citizens may bear criminal responsibility.

Allocation of the burden of proof is a key issue of criminal procedure that is affected by multiple legal and social factors. Under due process principles, the defendant’s right to a fair and impartial trial is deemed to be the epicenter of the whole structure. However, efficient law enforcement is a prominent public interest that must be considered. This article explores the correlation between public and private interest in proving insanity under the law of New York, which provides great empirical background due to its long history of legal disputes and legislative changes. Considering the nature and structure of the burden of proof, the author concludes that there are several principles for its fair allocation: the due party that bears both the burden and the risk of its nonperformance; the feasibility of the burden; the adequate opportunity for the other party to rebut; the concentration of resources upon needs that are not presumed but in fact exist. All the mentioned principles lay the ground for the harmonization of constitutional guaranties for the defendant as well as the successful enforcement of criminal law. The current New York approach to insanity defense as an affirmative one along with the history of its implementation tends to prove its compliance with such requirements. This finding suggests that bearing the burden shall not be treated as impairment by default, but can protect both the interest of this party and the integrity of the whole process.
