The Criminal Code (KUHP) which is currently in force in Indonesia is a legacy that is still inherited from the Netherlands, so some of the contents of the Article are still incompatible with the culture that developed in Indonesia. One example of the definition of adultery in the Criminal Code is a marital relationship which is committed by a party that one or both are still bound in marriage. Of course this is very contrary to the culture that exists in Indonesia with a majority Muslim population. Indonesian legal experts have drafted the new Criminal Code since 50 (fifty) years ago, then after waiting all the time, finally in 2019, there is a strong discourse that the DPR (House of Representatives) will ratify the new Criminal Code. One of the revised articles in the RKUHP (draft of the Criminal Code) is this adultery article. However, this Article is one that is also a matter of controversy and much opposition.The old KUHP rules especially those relating to adultery are not in accordance with the culture that exists in Indonesia, so that frequently the act of adultery that actually disturbs the public cannot be tried as expected, but in the current development there are also many parties who consider the notion of adultery in the new KUHP too in entering into the private affairs of the Indonesian people they assume the State should not enter into a very private section.The legal basis that can be done is a legal basis that is in accordance with that contained in the Criminal  Code Keywords: Criminal Code, Adultery

There are several basic reasons why the Pornography Law was used as a legal basis for catcalling, namely the definition of pornography as contained in Article 1 Number 1 General Provisions of Act of Number 44 Year 2008 concerning Pornography. The state is expected to be able to protect its citizens from catcalling by providing legal certainty, so that the perpetrators will no longer repeat or even commit the act.

Abstract A bitter debate broke out in the Digambar Jain community in the middle of the twentieth century following the passage of the Bombay Harijan Temple Entry Act in 1947, which continued until well after the promulgation of the Untouchability (Offences) Act 1955. These laws included Jains in the definition of ‘Hindu’, and thus threw open the doors of Jain temples to formerly Untouchable castes. In the eyes of its Jain opponents, this was a frontal and terrible assault on the integrity and sanctity of the Jain dharma. Those who called themselves reformists, on the other hand, insisted on the closeness between Jainism and Hinduism. Temple entry laws and the public debates over caste became occasions for the Jains not only to examine their distance—or closeness—to Hinduism, but also the relationship between their community and the state, which came to be imagined as predominantly Hindu. This article, by focusing on the Jains and this forgotten episode, hopes to illuminate the civilizational categories underlying state practices and the fraught relationship between nationalism and minorities.

This chapter assesses Article V of the Oklahoma constitution, which concerns the legislative department. Section 1 states that “the Legislative authority of the State shall be vested in a Legislature, consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives.” However, “the people reserve to themselves the power to propose laws and amendments to the Constitution and to enact or reject the same at the polls independent of the Legislature, and also reserve power at their own option to approve or reject at the polls any act of the Legislature.” Section 2 provides for the designation and definition of reserved powers. Initiative means the power of the people to propose bills, and to enact or reject them at the polls. Referendum is the right of the people to have bills passed by the legislature submitted to the voters for their approval. Meanwhile, in May 1964, the Oklahoma constitution was amended to conform to the U.S. Supreme Court rulings. The amendment passed and Sections 9 through 16 were replaced with Sections 9A through 11E. The chapter then details the provisions for the Senate and the House of Representatives.

This chapter focuses on administrative procedure and judicial review in China. Despite its willingness to adapt to the rules of the global market, China does not accept the direct applicability of international standards in administrative litigation. Judicial review of administration is based on a set of legislative texts and judicial interpretations by the Supreme People's Court. Among these texts, the Administrative Litigation Law regulates the judicial review of administrative acts. There are two lists in its chapter concerning the scope of judicial review: one includes the administrative acts that are open to judicial review, another the acts that are not reviewable. In any case, it is up to the courts to examine the following two combinations of criteria: the degree of the seriousness of the infringement with the definition of the state interest and that of the public interest; and the degree of procedural breach with the definition of the real impact on the rights of the plaintiff. According to Article 76 of the ALL, in the case of annulment and/or declaration of unlawfulness of an administrative act, a court may order the administration to take measures to compensate the damage inflicted on the plaintiff.

The article analyzes the evolution of punishment in Russian criminal law and scientific doctrine. The article considers the dynamics of development and improvement of the definition of punishment in the Soviet and Russian criminal legislation. The refusal of punishment in punishment is analyzed, which is explained by the development of several trends of mitigation of punishment. Changes in many provisions on punishment confirm that this institution has a social and legal necessity and importance for society and the state. Is considered a long process of exclusion from the punishment uncharacteristic of regulations and the formation of the criminal code of legal structure, where the punishment has ceased to be an obligatory consequence of the crime, as embodied and other measures of criminal-legal nature, like legal consequences of the crime. The essence of criminal punishment is recognized as a historically variable category, since it is determined by the objectives of criminal policy implemented by the state. Punishment includes legal restriction of the person, its rights and freedoms, but it is caused by system interaction with other measures of criminal-legal character.

Two models of victim compensation: through civil litigation and through administrative public funds are explored in this article in order to compare their effectiveness. Two legislations are compared: Serbian and Israel. A special legal basis for compensation from the State is foreseen in Serbian legislation. A natural person may claim compensation for the complete damage caused, in case of death, bodily injury or destruction of property. However, such claims are rarely charged. In Israel, limited amounts are paid from the public funds to victims of hostile actions in case of death, bodily injury or property damage. Israel also compensates companies for material damages on the property that is located in areas with a high risk from terrorism. This solution is considered to be more efficient, because it protects victims? interests more effectively.

Introduction. In spite of definitude of the concept of public official directly in Criminal Code of Ukraine, its definition makes many difficulties. As the result there is an absence of the only approach concerning interpretation of context and amount of the concept in theory as well as ambiguous applying of relevant criminal and legal norms in enforcement practice. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to find out the subject matter of public official, as well as preparation of improvement of definition of the public official notion in criminal legislation. Results. Persons, that implement functions of a representative of authority or local self-administration, should also be referred as persons empowering the rights from state and its bodies; municipalities, bodies of local self-government make demands and solve problems, which are necessary for implementation by external respondents (entities, that are not subordinate by position and legal entities) and also implement from state, its bodies, bodies of local self-government enforcement measures in case of violations of legal norms. Organizational and regulatory functions should be exclusively considered as functions of administration working with employees that are implemented by person’s availability to make orders, instructions, commands, take encouragement and penalty measures referring to them. Administrative and economic functions should be perceived as functions of administration or disposal of other people’s property. Conclusion. Based on the research the author suggests to apply the defined term of public official instead of terms "an individual fulfilling functions of representative of authority or local self-government" "organizational and regulatory function" and "administrative and economic functions", terms "an individual empowered fulfilling state functions or local self-government", "functions concerning administration of work with employees" and "functions of administration and disposal of other people’s property" accordingly.

Current anti-corruption legislation is characterized by a lack of concentration and unity of legislative acts that regulate the work of public authorities and administration at the federal and inter-regional levels. The Federal Law «On Counteracting Corruption» has a framework nature and does not meet all the challenges of preventing and counteracting corruption that the Russian state now faces. Thus, the relevance of this study is obvious. The goal of the authors is to determine the key trends and means of systematizing legislation that regulates the anti-corruption activities of the state. Having analyzed a vast massive of normative legal acts on counteracting corruption at the federal and inter-regional levels as well as international experience, the authors conclude that it is necessary to amend the Federal Law «On Counteracting Corruption» by, among other things, systematizing the norms that regulate the corresponding sphere of state activities. The authors express their confidence that the effectiveness of legislation on counteracting corruption could considerably improve with the «package» principle of streamlining legislation and the introduction of a basic normative legal act — the Law on Counteracting Corruption, then changing the acts that are not in line with it and developing other normative documents to specify it. The use of a systemic approach to counteracting corruption also requires the revision and improvement of some clauses of the National Strategy of Counteracting Corruption which should incorporate the analysis of the situation with the anti-corruption policy of the state, the assessment of the effectiveness of the existing system, monitoring and audit, as well as the instruments of the anti-corruption policy. The paper also presents the authors’ position on the development and upgrading of the legal basis of organizing the public authorities and administrations at the central and inter-regional levels that regulates the specification and optimization of determining and delimiting jurisdictions in the sphere of counteracting corruption. The authors conclude that at present it is not advisable to organize a separate special corruption counteraction body in Russia because the conditions necessary for its establishment are lacking.

The article analyzes the approaches to the civil service organization in Ukraine and examines the regulations of the civil service establishment since independence time. The attention is payed to the regulatory uncertainty of the separation of civil and public service in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the legal basis of the civil service in Ukraine is determined by the Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service”, which was adopted in 2015. The first such laws were adopted in 1993 and 2011. The Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service” of 1993 for the first time established a special legal status of civil servants – persons authorized to perform state functions. The Civil Service recognized the professional activity of persons holding positions in state bodies and their staff for the practical performance of tasks and functions of the state, receiving salaries at the expense of state funds. The Main Department of the Civil Service under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was designated as the civil service government body in the state bodies. At that time, the procedure for serving in local self-government bodies was not legally regulated in Ukraine, which hampered the establishment of the public service institution in Ukraine. With the adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine, there was a division of public service into civil service and service in local self-governments. The Laws of Ukraine “On Local Self-Government in Ukraine” and “On Service in Local Self-Government Bodies” became an additional basis for distinguishing types of public service. In 2011, a new Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service” was adopted, which provided for changes in the legal regulation of the civil service in Ukraine. Civil service was recognized as a professional activity of civil servants in preparing proposals for the civil policy formation, ensuring its implementation and provision of administrative services, ie the categories of political positions and positions of civil servants were distinguished. The current legislation defines the role of the civil service and its features, as well as the conditions of service in local governments, which is actually the basis for the public service system formation in Ukraine. Key words: civil service, public service, service in local self-government bodies.
