Smart and faithful people will never argue, that the State of the Republic of Indonesia is falling apart, debts mounting, to the point of reaching Rp. 4,000 (Four Thousand) Trillion is due to the crime of corruption that has taken root, curbed, thrived as if allowed to happen continuously. While law enforcement in this country does not provide a judicial verdict that has a deterrent effect for corruptors. It is difficult to understand in general, whether the legal verdict for corruption perpetrators by the Panel of Judges who hear and decide the case of corruption is influenced by the interference of fellow law enforcers ..., in this case, Advocates and Public Prosecutors (Prosecutors). Decisions of Corruption Courts often cause disparity in decisions, resulting in speculation from the public and assessing such decisions as being disproportionate and giving rise to public assumptions of a conspiracy between law enforcers, namely with several categories of interests, including: (1) The interests of the Prosecutor and Judges are in the interest of getting bribes (2) Advocates as law enforcers who accompany the defendant in defence of the interests of the accused by dirty and disgusting bribes. The role of advocates is very important in creating and maintaining a clean, authoritative and civilized justice system for the realization of the legal authority in this country.Thus, legal advocates must have faith and devotion to God strong and sturdy table and must dare to appear clean and first cleanse themselves from dirty thoughts in the midst of carrying out the legal profession, so that the noble profession is not polluted into contempt resulting from violation of legal norms and professional code of ethics by advocates. Based on the outputs achieved in this research program, namely the willingness and bottomlessness of the Advocates in defending the interests of the defendant must comply with the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations and uphold the Code of Ethics Procession.The analysis of this paper shows that lawyers have made a legal defence of corruption defendants in a professional manner in accordance with applicable legal provisions and upholds the code of ethics of the legal profession, even though there is also information about an advocate who is trying to bribe one of the Corruption Crimes judges in a case. which is being handled by the Advocate concerned. The description of the results of this survey is expected to be used as input and advice that can help realize the Court's decision which has a deterrent effect on corruptors and potential corruptors in the future.

Each legal concept has not only content (content), but also a form. The form requires compliance with the rules for the definition and construction of concepts. Improving legal terminology is impossible without deep development and observance of the rules of analysis and the precise construction of the conceptual apparatus. Gaps in legislation and regulations are derived from inaccuracy, lack of clarity and simplicity of conceptual constructions. The inconsistency of certain legal norms found in various laws and regulatory legal acts, the inconsistency of norms with the prevailing realities of legal life in the state and society impede the fulfillment by state authorities, including law enforcement, of their functional responsibilities. Mistakes made in the preparation of draft laws and regulations, methodological recommendations mainly boil down to the violation of the requirements of the unified laws of logic: the law of identity, the law of contradiction, the law of the excluded third and the law of sufficient reason. The use of inappropriate terminology causes complications in the application of legal norms. The Constitution of Ukraine assigns to the prosecutor the function of representing the interests of a citizen or state in court in cases specified by law. The term representation is not exactly chosen. The word "representation" means: the performance of the duties of a representative; an institution representing the interests of someone; elections, as well as the law, the procedure for the election of representatives to any bodies; representation is a legal relationship in which one party (representative) is obligated or entitled to make a transaction on behalf of the other party that it represents; representation means activity on behalf of someone, on behalf of a person. By its legal nature, a representative can only be authorized for transactions that the person he represents is entitled to carry out. The representation of the prosecutor's office in court is specific, since this body does not need instructions, contracts or other documents. The prosecutor or his deputy should act not on behalf of someone, but on behalf of the state in favor of the person and citizen, state or society, within the limits established by law. In the legislation there is a conflict (conflict) in the law regarding the term «representation». To eliminate such a conflict, it is necessary to amend the Law of Ukraine «On the Prosecutor's Office». Key words: definition of concepts, laws and regulations, accuracy, clarity, brevity of terms.

The article deals with the participation of observers from states and international organizations in the process of concluding international treaties. The status of observers is not defined in present laws and regulations; also there are no significant scientific researches on this topic, both internationally and nationally. Nevertheless, as a result of long practice, a certain set of rights and obligations of observers has been formed, which characterizes their status. In the present publication, the author dissects separate stages of treaty-making process in which observers can be involved and gives the characteristics of rights and obligations for such observers. Despite the limited functionality of the observers, their involvement in the process is quite high. When discussing the provisions of the international treaty, it is important for its future participants to obtain the opinion of competent organizations or interested states on the subject and the main provisions of such treaty. Thus, the participation of observers in the process of concluding international treaties is not only a unilaterally granted privilege, but also a legal symbiosis with other actors in the process, where treaties become more natural and viable. In the author’s opinion, observer states and observer organizations play an important role in the process of creating international legal norms. Taking into account the comments and recommendations of observers at conferences or in international organizations significantly increases the chance of adopting the text of the treaty when voting. This research may be of interest to persons engaged in law of treaties, law of international organizations, procedural issues of concluding international treaties, as well as the status of participants in the process of concluding treaties.

The Judge's decision is closely related to how the Judge expresses his opinion or consideration based on the facts and evidence in the trial and the Judge's confidence in a case he is trying. Even though the Judge has free or independent power to impose his decision, the prison sentence is still below the specific minimum limit, causing controversy or debate, especially regarding what legal norms are used by the Judge in deciding the case, so that the Judge leaves aside the special minimum threat which is expressly regulated in the Child Protection Act. The verdict in the form of imprisonment imposed under this special minimum threshold can be considered too light and it is feared that it will not cause a deterrent effect for the perpetrators in the future and may damage the legal certainty as mandated in the Child Protection Act. This can be seen in the Padang district court's decision Case number 38 / Pid.Sus / 2019 / PN Pdg, the judge handed down a prison sentence below the specific minimum against the Defendant. The method used in this research is normative juridical method. This type of research is descriptive using secondary data. The results of the study show that 1) Judge's considerations in imposing a criminal sentence under the threat of a specific minimum prison sentence against the Defendant are based more on non-juridical considerations which are then used as judicial considerations of the Judge by observing the reconstruction of legal facts revealed at the trial and guided by Circular Supreme Court Number 1 Year 2017; 2) Judge's consideration of the conviction under a special minimum threat as the case above raises legal uncertainty both at the normative level and at the practical level.
