The understanding of moko is related to the identity of the Alor people. Historically, moko was brought from Vietnam and became a heirloom which was passed down from generation to generation. In practice, moko can be used as a dowry of marriage, clan identity, musical instruments, and several other uses. This study provides novelty on the moko symbolization as a socio-religious harmony of Alor society. The problem to be resolved in this research is “how does the moko symbolize socio-religious harmony in the people of Alor, East Nusa Tenggara?” The theoretical concept used in this article is Geertz’s ‘religious as the cultural system” which is paired with Epicurus' opinion about the three levels of harmony. This study used the phenomenological method of Edmund Husserl.  The results of this study are moko symbolization as a rhythmic leader of musical instruments related with social messages in the ownership it and the function of moko as a dowry of marriage. In addition, the results of the study also show that the symbolization of moko becomes a part of the harmony embodiment in the life of the Alor people. This symbolization process occurs at the level of ideas and manifests in behavior. The novelty in this research is the characteristics of the Alor community as a heterogeneous society place the symbols of a set of conventions. Moko as part of the convention symbol embodies social harmonization. This part becomes an interesting character because moko is not an original object from the Alor community, but it has been adopted as a cultural symbol. Social harmonization occurs at the level of ideas which are adhered to customary law. This really depends on the values held in society.

This article deals with the question of the government's public perceptions of the legal polemic of land dispute settlement based on Law No.2 of 2012, and concentrates to examine a new model of land dispute resolution from the perspective of affected communities against NYIA. This research is normative-empirical based on primary and secondary data, namely a literature study, field study, using purposive sampling with interviews, FGD, observation, and qualitative descriptive analysis. The result showed the failure of formal litigation and non-litigation approaches offered by Law No.2 of 2012 to resolve the disputes fairly. Village discussions based on local wisdom as a new model for equitable land dispute resolution needs a political review of Law No. 2 of 2012. The new paradigm of agrarian reform must be based on customary law and local wisdom values in the 1945 Constitution and the Agrarian Law. Given recent controversies concerning land disputes, a law on reform and structuring the national agrarian structure, Agrarian conflict resolution law, and law of natural resources management for the community are urgently needed.

Bajo customary law includes the Bajo Customary Institution. In this institution, its existence helps the village government develop and regulate matters relating to local customs and solving problems regarding adultery, namely Samen Leven. This paper describes how customary law can be used as a law enforcement instrument to resolve the Samenleven offense. Semenleven is living together between a man and a woman without a legal marriage bond. This research uses the type of empirical normative research. The data types used are primary and secondary data sources using several approaches. The results show that the use of Bajo customary law, as a form of law enforcement against the perpetrators of the Samen Leven offense, will create a bargaining justice where customary law is used as the first route in resolving a conflict between victims, perpetrators, and the community. The consequence is that the perpetrator must admit that he has been guilty and is willing to take responsibility for his mistake following applicable customs. The Bajo Customary Council uses customary law as a reference to resolve any problems that occur in Bajo Village, Tilamuta District, namely customary law by deliberation/mediation.

The article concerns the issues related to the illegal trade in human tools in the light of the theoretical structure of sustainable development created by the United Nations (UN). The text consists of several parts. The work aims to show the following research areas: – axiological and legal assumptions of sustainable development in the context of a triple win: social, economic and environmental, – the criminological profile and picture of organized crime in the Republic of Kosovo – trafficking in human organs in the territory of the Republic of Kosovo, – information on traditional customary law (Kanun) in Albanian culture – analysis of the phenomenon of harvesting human organs in Kosovo. The last part of the article presents the economic, social and criminological problems of Kosovo in the context of the Sustainable Development Agenda.The analysis contained in the text proves that the youngest European country (2008) struggles with many problems of a legal, economic and social nature. These problems are not only a consequence of the recent post-Slavic armed conflicts but also result from the specific Albanian legal culture (Kanun rules), which still affects the functioning of this society (especially in the provinces). Therefore, these customs still determine the level of crime in this country, both common and related to the activities of organized crime groups (with particular emphasis on trafficking in human organs). Therefore, it is recommended to successively implement the legal solutions contained in the Agenda for Sustainable Development, to stabilize not only this country but the entire region.

ABSTRACT This study discusses agrarian conflicts that occurred in Sembalun District, East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara from 1979–2019. The problems in this study are: 1) Why are there agrarian conflicts in Sembalun District? 2) What are the forms of agrarian conflict that occurred in Sembalun District? The method used is the Critical Historical Method. Meanwhile, the theory used is Historical Dialectical Materialism from Karl Marx and Conflict theory from Ralf Dahrendorf. The results of this study indicate that the agrarian conflict in Sembalun District in 1979–2019 was a structural agrarian conflict. It takes the form of conflicting claims between the Sembalun indigenous peoples and the government and companies regarding who has the right to access land and natural resources. The main cause of the conflict is the lack of community land that becomes their means of production to meet their material subsistence needs. This is due to the practice of negarasasi (land acquisition) carried out by the government and negating the customary law system in agrarian management in Sembalun. Conflict becomes less powerful when the massive Sembalun peasant community defends their land, and tries to restore the customary law system or what is called negation over negation. Keywords: Agrarian Conflict, Sembalun Society, Historical Dialectical Materialism.

The subject of the study is the problems of application of the norms of criminal law stipulating responsibility for environmental crimes against representatives of persons of small indigenous minorities of the North, the essence of which is the conflict between the positive law and the customary law of these peoples. The purpose of the study is to analyze the causes of this conflict, as well as to substantiate the necessity of applying the norms of customary law of indigenous peoples of the North in their criminal prosecution for environmental crimes. As a result of the study, the assumption is made that knowledge of the norms of customary law by law enforcement officials will allow to relieve social tension between the indigenous peoples of the North and the law enforcement agencies. That is why it is necessary to begin work on the formation of a code of customary law, as well as recommendations for its application, which could become a document to be used as a recommendation for law enforcement bodies in their decision-making.
