Interfaith couples in Indonesia are classified as marginalized couples. This is due to the polemic of interfaith marriage in Indonesia. In practice, interfaith couples have complex problems in carrying out the marriage process in Indonesia. Disciplining on state regulations as stipulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 1974 concerning marriage is a single point of truth. The single truth that marriage is valid if it is carried out according to the law of each religion and belief. This of course curbs freedom and does not take sides with interfaith couples. Interfaith couples become bound by state legal counsel. Interfaith couples experience complexity in terms of maintaining love, religion and state law. This study used conventional ethnographic methodology with qualitative sources. The sources of this research were couples of different religions. The theory applied in this research is Michel Foucault's theory of power relations and knowledge. This theory is used to expose the existence of discipline and power in state regulations against interfaith couples. This research generates a new perspective in Cultural Studies research on the polemic of interfaith couples. The binding legal power of the state forms interfaith pairs as subalterns.  Key words: marriage, different religions, power relations

AbstractAbstract: This article provides one of the first presentations of the Law of the Republic of Moldova on Archaeological Heritage Preservation recently approved by the Moldovan Parliament. Since 1993, Moldova has had a general law on monument preservation, but the part on archaeological heritage was poorly developed. The new law is the first of its kind in Moldova and was established according to the principles of the European and International Conventions signed in recent years by the Republic of Moldova. This law opens new avenues for Moldovan society to improve the situation in of its archaeological heritage, specifically to fight the black market in archaeology and illegal trafficking of antiquities.

Relasi kekuasaan antar Presiden dan Wakil Presiden dalam sistem ketatanegaraan Indonesia selama ini dapat dikatakan selalu mengalami pasang surut. Persoalan ini disebabkan pengaturan kewenangan Wakil Presiden dalam UUD NRI Tahun 1945 tidak jelas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi yuridis dari kekaburan kewenangan Wakil Presiden serta memberikan rekomendasi ke depan bagaimana seyogyanya kewenangan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden dapat diatur dan dilaksanakan secara proporsional. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan bahan hukum primer berupa UUD NRI 1945 dan bahan hukum sekunder berupa buku dan artikel jurnal berkaitan dengan kewenangan Wakil Presiden. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengoptimalan kewenangan Wakil Presiden dapat dilakukan dengan mengaturnya di dalam Undang-Undang Lembaga Kepresidenan yang diharapkan dapat membagi secara proporsional kewenangan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden. Oleh karena itu, diharapkan supaya pengaturan Kewenangan Wakil Presiden diatur secara pasti dalam aturan hukum supaya tidak tergantung pada praktik ketatanegaraan serta faktor non hukum, yaitu faktor politik.  Mengingat pentingnya fungsi Wakil Presiden dalam sistem ketatanegaraan Republik Indonesia maka alangkah baiknya, Undang-Undang Lembaga Kepresidenan yang mengatur mengenai pembagian wewenang antar Presiden dan Wakil Presiden segera dibentuk. The power relations between the President and Vice President in the Indonesian constitutional system so far can be agreed to always overcome the ups and downs. The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia is unclear. This study aims to analyze the juridical implications of the obscurity of the Vice President’s authority and give approval to the front regarding the authority of the President and Vice President to be able to regulate and implement proportionality. This research is a normative legal research with primary legal material in the form of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and secondary legal material containing books and journal articles about the authority of the president’s representative. From this research it can be concluded that optimizing the authority of the Vice President can be done with a license in the Law on Presidential Institutions which is expected to allocate proportional authority to the powers of the President and Vice President. Therefore, it is hoped that the Vice President’s licensing can be regulated in regulating legislation not dependent on state administration and non-legal factors, namely political factors. Considering the importance of the function of the Vice President in the constitutional system of the Republic of Indonesia, it would be nice, the Law on Presidential Institutions governing the distribution of powers between the President and the Vice President was immediately formed.

Gender-based violence is a form of discrimination that prevents women from enjoying the rights and liberties on an equal level with men. Inevitably, domestic violence shows the same trend of victimizing women to such a degree that the term “domestic violence” is increasingly becoming synonymous with “violence against women”. The Istanbul Convention defines domestic violence as "gender-based violence against women", or in other words "violence that is directed against a woman because she is a woman or that affects women disproportionately." The situation is similar in the Republic of Macedonia, where women are predominantly victims of domestic violence. However, the Macedonian legal framework does not define domestic violence as gender-based violence, and thus it does not define it as a specific form of discrimination against women. The national legislation stipulates that victims are to be protected in both a criminal and a civil procedure, and the Law on Prevention and Protection from Domestic Violence determines the actions of the institutions and civil organizations in the prevention of domestic violence and the protection of victims. The system for protection of victims of domestic violence closely supports the Law on Social Protection and the Law on Free Legal Aid, both of which include provisions on additional assistance for women victims of domestic violence. However, the existing legislation has multiple deficiencies and does not allow for a greater efficacy in implementing the prescribed measures for the protection of victims of domestic violence. For this reason, as well as due to the inconsistent implementation of legal solutions of this particular issue, the civil sector is constantly expressing their concern about the increasingly wider spread of domestic violence against women and about the protection capabilities at their disposal. The lack of recognition of all forms of gender-based violence, the trivial number of criminal sentences against persons who perform acts of domestic violence, the insufficient support offered to victims – including victim shelters, legal assistance, and counseling, and the lack of systematic databases on domestic violence cases on a national level, are a mere few of the many issues clearly pointing to the inevitable conclusion that the protection of women-victims of domestic violence is inadequate. Hence, the functionality and efficiency of both the existing legislation and the institutions in charge of protection and support of women – victims of domestic violence is being questioned, which is also the subject for analysis in this paper.

The Article concerns the legal issues, connected with the situation, when a person (or group of people) disobey requirements of the Law or other State regulations on the basis of religious or nonreligious belief. The Author analyses almost all related issues – whether imposing certain obligation on individuals, to which the individual has a conscientious objection based on his/her religious beliefs, always represents interference with his/her religion rights, and if it does, then what is subject of the interference – forum integrum or forum externum; whether neutral regulation, which does not refer to religion issues at all, could ever be regarded as interference into someone’s religious rights; whether opinion or belief, on which the individual’s objection and the corresponding conduct is based, must necesserily represent the clear “manifest” of the same religion or belief in order to gain legal protection; what is regarded as “manifest” of the religion or other belief in general and whether a close and direct link must exist between personal conduct and requirements of the religious or nonreligious belief; what are the criteria of the “legitimacy” of the belief; to what extent the following factors should be taken into consideration : whether the personal conduct of the individual represents the official requirements of corresponding religion or belief, what is the burden which was imposed on the believer’s religious or moral feelings by the State regulation, also, proportionality and degree of sincerity of the individual who thinks that his disobidience to the Law is required by his/her religious of philosofical belief. The effects (direct or non direct) of the nonfulfilment of the law requirement (legal responsibility, lost of the job, certain discomfort, etc..) are relevant factors as well. By the Author, all these circumstances and factors are essencial while estimating, whether it arises, actually, a real necessity and relevant obligation before a state for making some exemptions from the law to the benefi t of the conscientious objectors, in cases, if to predict such an objection was possible at all. So, the issues are discussed in the prism of the negative and positive obligations of a State. Corresponding precedents of the US Supreme Court and European Human Rights Court have been presented and analysed comparatively by the Author in the Article. The Article contains an important resume, in which the main points, principal issues and conclusion remarks are delivered. The Author shows, that due analysis of the legal aspects typical to “Conscientious objection” is very important for deep understanding religious rights, not absolute ones, and facilitates finding a correct answer on the question – how far do their boundaries go?

This chapter explores how gendarmes in the Republic of Niger, notwithstanding their aspiration for popular legitimacy, try to justify their actions, not to others, but to themselves. Civilians bring the stories of their problems to the gendarmes’ attention in the form of complaints. Whether a complaint turns into a case, and thus whether the gendarmes become active, depends on their appreciation of the complainant’s story and whether their ‘vocational ear’ is attuned to this story; and their vocational ear functions much more in terms of the material and moral gravity of the alleged offence, not in terms of the law.

This chapter examines the law governing the availability of claims to traceable proceeds. It argues that the language used in the case law—which uses the terminology of property rights and of fiduciary relationships—cannot fully explain the law, since such claims are often available in the absence of fiduciary duties and are not available to holders of many types of property right. It argues that such claims instead presuppose a relationship of ‘control of assets’: where the defendant has a legal power to deal with some asset, correlating to a vulnerability to a loss of rights in that asset on the part of the claimant, and coupled with a duty not to exercise the power. It argues that relationships that have this formal structure also share normative characteristics that justify the subordination of defendant autonomy that has been shown to be at the heart of the tracing concept.

AbstractThis article examines the development of the Republic of Korea’s strategy to prevent the spread of COVID-19 with particular focus on ethical issues and the problem of politicization of public communication. Using prominent examples of stakeholders who have acted and expressed themselves in highly contradictory ways on the topic of the pandemic, we provide an analysis of how the public health policy discourse has entered into the realm of politicization and elaborate on the danger that this phenomenon poses in terms of rational debate and appropriate policy measures geared toward the public’s safety. Considering the role that the Republic of Korea have had in global media coverage of quarantine policies and epidemic prevention, we believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it provides a new perspective and insights into the forces at work within and around a prevention strategy that has both been lauded and seen as highly controversial.
