This article analyses the philosophical foundations of the Law and Development doctrine, which has been used as a practical tool since the 1950s in many countries in an attempt to improve their socio-economic conditions. Since the adoption of the UN Resolution on Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, most countries have been making efforts to achieve it. We emphasize two philosophical-legal traditions in Law and Development under consideration, which in many respects display antagonistic attitudes to each other: liberal legalism and the ideas of postmodernism philosophy, in particular, the ideas of post-development. The dialectics of this contradiction is revealed in an attempt by liberal legalism to spread itself beyond the western legal systems. Postmodernism, which has been influenced by left-wing political and legal doctrines (neo-Marxism), is aimed at taking into account the interests of local cultures and more equitable distribution of global public goods as a development priority. Following the logic of G. F. Hegel, the evolution of Law and Development can be presented as the spiral reflecting the interaction of law and development theories that began to unwind in the second half of the XX century and continues its upward movement to the present moment.

In a globalized, interconnected world, multilingualism is essential for effective communication, understanding of other cultures, and the development of global citizenship values. In addition to being part of a global personal cultural identity and a practical tool for communication in transnational teams, multilingualism has been linked to creativity and to problem-solving, both of critical importance in addressing complex issues, and regular use of more than one language has even been shown to stave off dementia. International organizations, multinational corporations, and educational institutions approach multilingualism differently, each with the language strategy that aligns most closely with their mission and goals. How can international educators best prepare students for an increasingly multilingual world and workplace where multilingualism is the norm rather than the exception?

Abstract:This article tries to understand the Omnibus Law on Job Creation and its relation to the Sustainable Development Goals/ SDGs as an aspect of the protection of human rights as the responsibility of the state.  The research approach is a normative legal research using a hermeneutical circle analysis. The main object (material object) is the norms in UUCK and related statutes which have been amended, added, or substituted by the Law on Job Creation. The norms studied are stated in the articles of the Law on Job Creation, especially norms that deal with environment and sustainable development. Hermeneutical analysis, from the linguistic and phenomenological point of view,  isused in order to  find the meaning of law from the linguistic and historical point of view, and the nature of the State as the protector of citizens’ human right. The findings are divided into 3 points. First, in terms of the process, this law is a tactical and political response from decision makers to complex and dynamic situations that can in fact lead to complicated derivative problems if the responses are not based on a framework based on the principles and basic values of the state. Dealing with the growth agenda in SDGs, the Law on Job Creation still calls into question whether the Law enshrines the easiness of business and full employment and decent work as human rights obligations of the state, or merely as benefits of economic growth. So it still presents both opportunities for human rights monitoring and accountability.   Keywords: Omnibus Law, Job Creation, Sustainable Development Goals   Abstrak:Tulisan ini mencoba untuk memahami Omnibus Law Cipta Kerja dalam kaitannya dengan Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (Sustainable Goals/SDGs) sebagai suatu aspek dari perlindungan HAM yang merupakan tanggung jawab negara. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan penelitian ilmu hukum normatif menggunakan analisa lingkar hermeneutika. Obyek utamanya adalah norma dalam Undang-undang Cipta Kerja dan peraturan perundang-undangan terkait yang telah diubah, ditambahkan atau digantikan oleh undang-undang ini. Norma yang dikaji dimuat dalam pasal-pasal Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja, khususnya aturan-aturan mengenai lingkungan hidup dan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Analisa hermeneutika dari sudut pandang bahasa dan fenomologi, digunakan dengan maksud untuk menemukan makna hukum dari aspek linguistik dan sejarah, serta hakekat Negara sebagai pelindung HAM warga negaranya. Hasil temuan dalam kajian ini dibagi dalam tiga poin. Pertama, dalam hal proses, undang-undang ini merupakan respon penentu kebijakan yang bersifat taktis dan politis terhadap situasi yang kompleks dan dinamis yang pada kenyataannya justru membawa pada permasalahan derifativ yang kompleks jika  tindakan pemerintah tersebut tidak didasarkan pada kerangka kerja yang menjadi prinsip-prinsip dan nilai-nilai fundamental Negara. Mengacu pada agenda SDGs, Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja perlu untuk dikaji lebih dalam apakah aturan-aturan di dalamnya memperkuat kemudahan usaha dan kewajiban negara menjamin hak asasi pekerja secara penuh, atau hanya bermanfaat untuk pertumbuhan ekonomi. Hal ini masih memberikan kesempatan untuk pengawasan HAM dan akuntabilitas. Kata Kunci: Omnibus Law, Cipta Kerja, Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
