Lessons from UNCITRAL for Reforming the South African Legal Framework Concerning Security Rights in Movable Property

This article analyses the South African legal framework governing security rights in movable property with the view to inspire law reform. The analysis is based on a comparison of the current South African framework with the UNCITRAL Legislative Guide on Secured Transactions, a soft-law instrument containing international best practice. The problematic aspects of the South African framework benchmarked against the UNCITRAL Guide are: (1) not having a common legal framework that equally applies to all types of (including quasi-) real security transactions; (2) the scope of the current framework not being comprehensive (inclusive) enough; (3) not having an efficient enough method of creating the security right; (4) the current publicity method, particularly concerning special notarial bonds, being overly cumbersome and not providing effective public notice to third parties; and (5) the current enforcement measures potentially not being the most efficient. Regarding each of these problem areas, the article makes proposals on how the South African legislature could reform the current framework into one that is legally efficient and in step with international best practice.

Queer Jurisprudence: Reparative Practice in International Law

Queer theory's commitments are radical and disruptive. They have operated to interrogate the definition and reinforcement of sexuality and gender categories, and to expose and problematize normalized relations of power and privilege in the institutional structures and systems in which we live and operate. Queer's deconstructive and anti-normative (or non-conformist) tendencies, however, can be antithetical to international LGBTQIA+ law reform projects. In much of queer scholarship, human rights activism is framed as reinforcing heteronormative structures of knowledge and power and promoting fixed ideas of monogamy, social reproductivity, and gender identity. In this essay, I work with the tension between queer theory and the law to frame the continued pursuit of human rights by LGBTQIA+ people as queer jurisprudence. I do so by drawing on the methodological tools provided by Eve Sedgwick's technique of reparative reading and Michel Foucault's ethics of care of the self to focus on the lived experience of LGBTQIA+ people. What emerges through the stories of LGBTQIA+ commitments to human rights and legal activism are not themes of naivety, compliance, or assimilation, as often charged, but ongoing efforts toward disruption, creativity, and hope.

CONCEPT OF WALI MUJBIR IN MARRIAGE (LEGAL CRITICISM OF COUNTER LEGAL DRAFT COMPILATION OF ISLAMIC LAW)

Responding to demands from a group of parties to formalize Islamic law, the Counter Legal Draft Compilation of Islamic Law (CLD KHI) team has compiled a pluralist, democratic, humanist, and gender fair Islamic law text.This manuscript reaps pros and cons during society because it is considered not in line with the values contained in the Qur’an and hadith.Because of the discrepancy between the opinions of most jurists in general with the contents of the CLD-KHI, of course, it will result in the absence of legal certainty in the future. The object of this research is only focused on the concept of walimujbir. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, data is collected openly according to what is obtained from primary and secondary sources. The results of this study indicate that the presence of a guardian in a marriage is positioned as a pillar of Marriage. In contrast, in the CLD-KHI formulation, a guardian is not required in a marriage. The formulation of Islamic family law reform offered by CLD-KHI is based solely on public logic, local wisdom, and on several perspectives such as democracy, pluralism, human rights, justice, gender equality, and western ideology. In matters of marriage, especially regarding guardians of mujbir, the ideas of CLD-KHI are different and even contradict the common understanding of principles of Islamic teachings and practices.

Adultery Criminalization Spirit in Islamic Criminal Law: Alternatives in Indonesia’s Positive Legal System Reform

This study aims to provide new ideas in the criminal law reform discourse in Indonesia, especially concerning the adultery issue, by employing a socio-legal approach and Islamic criminal law. The socio-legal approach was performed by combining normative analysis and non-legal scientific tactics in observing the applicable law. Meanwhile, the Islamic criminal law was used to assess and contribute new ideas to the Indonesian legal system in the future, presuming criminal law reforms are implemented. The results indicated fundamental weaknesses in Article 284 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) in terms of defining adultery and the prescribed sanctions.
