Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan historis, studi ini mengkaji tiga pilar utama legitimasi hukum: (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 24 Tahun 1956 tentang Pembentukan Daerah Otonom Provinsi Aceh, (2) Surat Kepemilikan Tanah tahun 1965 yang diterbitkan oleh Pemerintah Daerah Istimewa Aceh, dan (3) Nota Kesepahaman Helsinki 2005. Tujuan dari artikel ini untuk melihat status hukum sengketa kepemilikan 4 pulau dan Keputusan Kemendagri dalam pespektif hukum dan Sejarah. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga instrumen hukum tersebut membentuk rantai bukti yang kuat dan saling melengkapi dalam menegaskan kedaulatan Aceh atas keempat pulau tersebut. Analisis terhadap dokumen-dokumen historis mengungkapkan adanya kontinuitas penguasaan dan pengelolaan wilayah oleh Aceh sejak era kolonial hingga pasca kemerdekaan. Kebijakan Kemendagri yang hanya mendasarkan pada pertimbangan geografis semata dinilai mengandung kelemahan yuridis karena mengabaikan prinsip lex specialis derogat legi generali, dimana UU No. 24/1956 sebagai hukum khusus harus didahulukan atas keputusan administratif. Penelitian ini juga melakukan studi komparatif dengan tiga kasus sengketa wilayah internasional (Sipadan-Ligitan, Pulau Dokdo, dan Batu Puteh) untuk mengkonstruksi kerangka analisis yang holistik. Temuan komparatif menunjukkan bahwa prinsip penguasaan efektif (effective occupation) dan bukti administratif yang berkelanjutan menjadi faktor penentu dalam penyelesaian sengketa wilayah. Implikasi kebijakan dari penelitian ini menyoroti potensi destabilisasi otonomi khusus Aceh dan ancaman terhadap konsensus nasional pasca MoU Helsinki jika sengketa ini tidak diselesaikan secara adil dan partisipatif.</p> Rasyid Tanjung Copyright (c) 2026 Rasyid Tanjung https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/ubelaj/article/view/46003 Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Hak dan Peran Masyarakat Dalam Reklamasi Tambang PT TIMAH Tbk : Analisis Partisipasi dan Pengawasan https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/ubelaj/article/view/43491 <p><em>Mine reclamation is a legal obligation for mining companies to restore the environment after mining operations. This research examines community participation in the management of mine reclamation at PT TIMAH Tbk, focusing on community rights and roles in the reclamation process. The research method uses a normative juridical approach, analyzing laws and regulations and case studies of reclamation implementation in PT TIMAH Tbk's operational areas. The results indicate that although regulations govern community participation in mine reclamation, implementation still faces obstacles such as limited access to information, limited community capacity, and weak oversight mechanisms. This study found that the effectiveness of mine reclamation is highly dependent on the level of active community participation in all stages of reclamation. The study's conclusions emphasize the need to strengthen regulations that guarantee community participation rights and increase community capacity in mine reclamation oversight.</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> Comunnity; Participation; Mining; Environment; Reclamation.</em></p> Himbauan Ramadhan Copyright (c) 2025 Himbauan Ramadhan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/ubelaj/article/view/43491 Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Perbandingan Hukum Taiwan-Indonesia Berbasis Prinsip CEDAW dalam Upaya Perlindungan PMI Perempuan https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/ubelaj/article/view/45351 <p>Various cases of violence, gender discrimination, difficulty in accessing health care and exploitation of migrant workers still occur frequently, especially against women working in the non-formal sector. BP2MI noted that Taiwan is the number 2 highest destination country for PMI after Hong Kong. Indonesia as a member state of the United Nations has ratified CEDAW while Taiwan, which is not a member of the United Nations, has not ratified the convention. This is a challenge in the protection of female migrant workers in Taiwan. Thisstudy comparing the regulation of migrant workers within the legal framework of Taiwan and Indonesia in relation to CEDAW as well as the Indonesian government's efforts to protect migrant workers in the non-formal sector in Taiwan. This type of research is juridical-normative research, the nature of this research is descriptive analytical with a method of approaching laws and regulations and conceptual related to the research topic. The results of the study found that Indonesia tends to emphasize more on comprehensive protection starting from the preplacement process to repatriation and strengthened by the role of BP2MI, emphasizing on aspects of reproduction, gender-based violence, and protection of women from exploitation. Meanwhile, Taiwan emphasizes technical protection during the working period and still faces challenges in providing protection to female migrant workers in the non-formal sector because they have not been accommodated in labor.</p> Biyes Nurul Atika, Adila Azani, Rizha Claudilla Putri Copyright (c) 2025 Biyes Nurul Atika, Adila Azani, Rizha Claudilla Putri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/ubelaj/article/view/45351 Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Konstruksi Hukum Kewenangan Desa dalam Pembentukan Peraturan Desa: Analisis Yuridis atas Implementasi Otonomi Desa Berdasarkan UU Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/ubelaj/article/view/45450 <p>This article analyzes the legal construction of village authority in the formation of Village Regulations (Peraturan Desa/Perdes) within the framework of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. Using a normative juridical method with a descriptive qualitative approach, the study examines the principles of recognition and subsidiarity as the foundation of village autonomy, as well as the legal position of Perdes in Indonesia’s regulatory hierarchy. The findings show that although Perdes serves as a crucial instrument for implementing village autonomy and is legally acknowledged under Article 8 paragraph (2) of Law Number 12 of 2011, its formation frequently encounters challenges, including limited legislative capacity of village apparatus and disharmony with higher-level regulations. Several cases indicate procedural defects, contradictions with regional and national laws, and issues of authority overreach. These problems highlight the need for continuous legal guidance, improved legislative skills at the village level, and stronger harmonization mechanisms to ensure legal certainty and effective local governance. Strengthening the normative position and regulatory quality of Perdes is essential for realizing democratic, accountable, and autonomous village governance within Indonesia’s legal system.</p> Ridho Kurniawan, Desi Hafizah, M Yamani, Dyanzah Aji Haptoro, Zahra Utami Copyright (c) 2025 Ridho Kurniawan, Desi Hafizah, M Yamani, Dyanzah Aji Haptoro, Zahra Utami https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/ubelaj/article/view/45450 Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000
