The Krueng Peusangan watershed in the Aceh Province, Indonesia, has an important role in the daily life of residents in the surrounding areas. The watershed serves as a supply of clean water, shelter, food sources, and sources of income for hundreds of thousands of people. Forest encroachment activities, mining, plantations, and land conversion have interrupted the watershed balance. These various activities cause threats of loss of forest area, biodiversity extinction, water crisis, flooding, human-animal conflict, and also global warming and food crisis. Therefore, this article analyses the law and policies issued by the Central, Provincial, and Regency/City Governments related to the management of the Krueng Peusangan Watershed and to examine the legal framework needed for watershed protection and management. This type of research is normative legal research using the regulatory, conceptual, and case approaches. The results revealed that the existing legal framework has not fully protected watershed rescue. The policies issued are still partial and have not been integrated on a regional or sectoral basis. This paper suggests that the Government of Aceh and Regency/City Governments to revise several Qanun, i.e., the Mid-Term Development Plan Qanun, the Watershed Management Qanun, Strategic Environmental Assessment Qanun, Qanun of Environmental Protection and Management Plan, and laws and regulations in the environmental, forestry, plantation and mining sectors.

This chapter examines the law and policy framework for the realization of the right to sanitation in rural areas in India. It specifically examines the framework for implementation of the right to sanitation in rural areas from the perspective of rights including the right to sanitation.

A significant body of law and policy has been directed to organised crime generally, with Human Trafficking remaining high on the political agenda. This article conducts a contextualised study of Human Trafficking in the UK, examining the underpinning legal framework before drawing on the expertise of key professionals in the sector, who have been interviewed for this purpose. It is suggested that it is not so much the legal framework that is the problem, but rather there are a number of practical and policy-related considerations that the government should consider as part of their efforts to combat Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.

Salah satu point penting yang diatur dalam perjanjian Helsinki terkait dengan penegakan hukum di Aceh adalah diberlakukannya Qanun dengan tujuan untuk menghormati tradisi sejarah Islam dan adat istiadat rakyat Aceh yang mayoritas muslim. Selain itu, untuk mensinergikan antara Qanun dengan pengadilan, maka di Provinsi Aceh dibentuk suatu sistem peradilan Syar’iyah yang tidak memihak dan independen, termasuk pengadilan tinggi yang tetap merupakan bagian dari sistem peradilan Republik Indonesia. Pembentukan Pengadilan Syar’iyah di Provinsi Aceh merupakan salah satu upaya untuk membuat kekhususan sebagaimana diatur dalam perjanjian Helsinki pada tahun 2005.  Namun, dalam dataran teknis pengaturan manajemen pengadilan Syar’iyah juga masih terkendala khususnya oleh karena adanya dua aturan hukum yang berlaku yaitu Qanun yang dibuat oleh Dewan Perwakilam Rakyat Daerah Provinsi Aceh dan undang-undang yang dibuat oleh Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat beserta Presiden. Hal tersebut berakibat Undang-Undang Pemerintahan Aceh yang mengatur tentang teknis pengaturan pengadilan Syar’iyah dan pembuatan Qanun juga banyak di lakukan judicial review ke Mahkamah Konstitusi. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisa tentang efektifitas pemberlakukan Qanun dan pengadilan Syar’iyah di Provinsi Aceh pasca di undangkannya Undang-Undang Pemerintahan Aceh. Adapun tulisan ini dibuat dengan menggunakan metode penulisan normatif dengan pendekatan studi historis dan pendekatan studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengadilan Syar’iyah yang telah dibentuk di Provinsi Aceh meski pada awalnya mengalami kendala namun dapat berjalan baik. Adanya kekhususan yang diberikan kepada Provinsi Aceh merupakan bagian dari upaya untuk menjalankan amanat konstitusi khususnya Pasal 18B UUD 1945.Kata kunci: Qanun, Pemerintahan Aceh, Mahkamah Syar’iyah, Mahkamah Konstitusi. Abstract One crucial point stipulated in the Helsinki agreement related to law enforcement in Aceh is the enactment of the Qanun with the aim of respecting Islamic historical traditions and the customs of the Acehnese people who are predominantly Muslim. Besides, to synergise between the Qanun and the court, in the Province of Aceh a Syar'iyah justice system was formed which was impartial and independent, including a high court which remained part of the judicial system of the Republic of Indonesia. The establishment of the Shariah Law in Aceh Province was one of the efforts to make it specific as stipulated in the Helsinki agreement in 2005. However, in the field of technical management of the Syariah court management is also still constrained especially due to the existence of two applicable laws namely the Qanun made by the Aceh Province Regional People's Representative Council and laws made by the House of Representatives and the President. This resulted in the Law on the Government of Aceh governing the Syar'iyah court and the Qanun being judged by the Constitutional Court. This paper aims to analyse the effectiveness of the implementation of Qanun and the Syar'iyah court in Aceh Province after the enactment of the Law on the Governing of Aceh. The writing is made using normative writing methods with historical study approaches, and case study approaches. The results of the study showed that the Syar'iyah court which had been formed in the Aceh Province even though initially had problems but could work well. The specificity given to the Aceh Province is part of an effort to carry out the mandate of the constitution, especially Article 18B of the 1945 Constitution.

The purpose of this article is to critically assess the constitutionality of the COVID-19 regulations against the backdrop of the constitutional mandate to facilitate public participation in the law-making process in South Africa. This assessment is conducted by outlining the scope and content of public participation. This will be followed by an exposition of the legal framework that provides for the duty to facilitate public participation in South Africa. Thereafter, the scope and content of the duty to facilitate public participation is assessed against the conduct of the government in promulgating the COVID-19 regulations. The authors argue that the disregard for and limited nature of public participation during the process leading up to the enactment of the COVID-19 regulations amount to a material subversion of the core tenets of our constitutional democracy and largely renders the COVID-19 regulations unconstitutional for lack of procedural compliance with the demands of the Constitution. The authors provide a few recommendations to remedy the unconstitutionality of the regulations and further propose guidelines to facilitate public participation in cases of future pandemics and/or disasters of this nature.

Abstrak: Qanun merupakan pengganti dari istilah peraturan daerah yang dikhususkan untuk Provinsi Aceh sebagai salah satu bentuk otonomi khusus. Di dalam hierarki peraturan perundang-undangan, Qanun merupakan  salah satu peraturan perundang-undangan yang tata urutannya di bawah Undang-Undang. Oleh karena qanun merupakan peraturan perundang-undangan sejenis perda, maka pemerintah memiliki kewenangan untuk membatalkannya jika qanun tersebut bertentangan dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan yang lebih tinggi. Pada pertengahan tahun 2016, Kementerian Dalam Negeri (Kemendagri) Republik Indonesia telah membatalkan 3.143 Perda karena dianggap menghambat pertumbuhan ekonomi daerah dan memperpanjang jalur birokrasi. Selain itu, peraturan tersebut juga dianggap menghambat proses perizinan dan investasi serta menghambat kemudahan berusaha. Dari jumlah tersebut terdapat 65 qanun Aceh yang ikut dibatalkan, yang terdiri dari 6 Qanun Provinsi dan 59 Qanun Kabupaten/Kota. Mengenai kewenangan siapa yang sebenarnya berwenang menguji Perda/Qanun tidak ada sebuah kesepakatan pendapat diantara para pakar.  Abstract: Qanun is a substitute for the term regional regulation that is specific to Aceh Province as a form of special autonomy. In the hierarchy of statutory regulations, Qanun is one of the statutory regulations whose ordering is under the Law. Because the qanun is a kind of legislation, the government has the authority to cancel it if the qanun is contrary to the provisions of the higher statutory regulations. In mid-2016, the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) of the Republic of Indonesia canceled 3,143 regional regulations because they were considered to hamper regional economic growth and extend the bureaucratic path. In addition, the regulation is also seen as hampering the licensing and investment processes and hampering the ease of doing business. Of these, there were 65 Aceh qanuns that were canceled, consisting of 6 Provincial Qanun and 59 District / City Qanun. Regarding the authority of who actually has the authority to examine the Perda / Qanun there is no agreement of opinion among experts.

This chapter explains that the General Law on Disappearances in Mexico is a legal change achieved by a broad mobilisation of families of victims of disappearance in a challenging context of persistent violence in the country. The Law helps to improve the relevant standards related to searching for disappeared persons, guaranteeing the rights of the victims’ families, furthering the investigation of forced disappearance caused by the government and/or individuals, as well as creating the institutional structures focused on the search for persons. Despite this, the law’s innovative advances coexist alongside previous institutional mechanisms that perpetuate practices contrary to the rights of victims and their families, which risk neutralising the Law. Accordingly, the chapter focuses on the promotion of legal mobilisation strategies in countries, such as Mexico, which accept normative and institutional changes without worrying about their enforcement, since, in practice, new provisions clash with previously created structures that have similar legal authority but greater decision-making power, and are, thus, better able to exercise that authority.

This chapter details the Storting’s passing of a new law in 1892 which superseded all former laws pertaining to Norges Bank. As with the bank’s foundations of 1816, the 1892 act reflected its era and responded to the perceptions and needs of that period. The new law facilitated the transformation of the regionalized bank of issue into an institution more closely resembling central banks elsewhere. Discussions on the legal framework were thus held with varying intensity from the 1870s and onwards. Three conditions in particular influenced the process and the final character of the law. The first was the international context the law itself was a part of. The second condition was the integration and centralization process already underway in Norway. The third significant condition was the conflict between the government authorities that framed Norway’s entry into the Scandinavian Monetary Union.

The current crisis in Myanmar concerning the Rohingya people has resulted in a huge number of stateless refugees. An answer to the citizenship of these refugees is urgently required. This study summarizes the comparative analysis of the existing citizenship framework of Myanmar with the older version. After briefly reviewing earlier legal framework Citizenship Law of the Union 1948 concomitant to the 1947 Constitution of Burma, the study analyzes the changes made in Citizenship Law of Burma 1982 concomitant to the 1974 Constitution. Major results from the empirical studies conducted earlier suggest that there exist three types of citizenship in Myanmar while this study has found that there are four types of citizenship prevails in Myanmar. The study also has come out with the finding that there exists very little scope for Myanmar government to legalize a large number of Rohingya populations unless the Law is revised first. Therefore, the government should focus on the revision of the law if it really wants to prove its good intention for a sustainable solution.
