In 1996, the UNCITRAL regulated the e-commerce transactions, including e-contracts. The e-contract is one of the most relevant matters in e-commerce transactions, especially it is of importance for the consumers to avoid any unwanted situations. However, several problems arise for consumers in conducting e-commerce transactions, such as the asymmetrical bargaining power of the parties involved. In this sense, there is an urgency for the legal protections for consumers. The objective of this article is to understand the connection between consumers’ legal protection and e-contracts validity in e-commerce transactions. The research method used is the legal descriptive analysis through statutory and conceptual approach. This study analyzes the legal relationship between the legislations related to the e-contracts within e-commerce transaction in Indonesia, which are the Indonesian Civil Code, Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, and Law Number 19 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions. Through a systematic appraisal, it argues that the current legal framework does not fully guarantee legal certainty for consumers in e-commerce transactions, such as on the obligations of producers and distributors to customers in the e-commerce transactions.","PeriodicalId":31372,"journal":{"name":"Yuridika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43861575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evil of employees misrepresenting their academic qualifications has become endemic, and the South African government has been compelled to act. Misrepresentation of academic qualifications mainly manifests itself through employees claiming to have non-existent higher education qualifications to secure a new job offer or be promoted to a higher post. This misrepresentation has consequences for the employer, who may pay the employee a salary they do not deserve. The employee must refund the employer and face prospects of imprisonment if found guilty in a criminal court. In South Africa, high-profile individuals working in the public service or occupying prominent political positions have falsely claimed to have qualifications that they did not have. They have been allowed to resign on their own accord or were dismissed after lengthy disciplinary hearings. This paper outlines some examples of this misrepresentation and unravels the legal implications from a South African perspective. We recommend that employers promptly discipline employees found guilty rather than allow them to resign, as was done correctly in the Mthikhulu case discussed here. Further, we urge employers in South Africa to foreground the skills of employees rather than paper qualifications and assess technical ability ahead of academic qualifications.","PeriodicalId":31372,"journal":{"name":"Yuridika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43043014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the contributing factors is because, according to the heir, the provision of the will is to provide justice for all his heirs; however, fairness according to the heir is different from justice in the distribution of inheritance according to the Al-Qur'an and Hadith. Legal research uses this case approach as the primary analysis juxtaposed with the statutory approach and the conceptual approach as the 'knife' of analysis.

The combination of a presidential system with a multi-party system is difficult to implement because whoever the president is elected will be encountered with a certain condition that it is impossible to support him in parliament without forming a coalition. In order to respond the problem in strengthening the presidential system in Indonesia, the author offers a majority general election system or district system (first Past the Post) as an effort to create an effective and responsible government. This is a legal study which used two approaches, namely statutory approach and conceptual approach. Based on the results of study, it can be concluded that the majority system was more appropriate for creating an effective and responsible government because it could encourage the simplification of political parties and the responsibilities of people’s representatives to the voters in each district.","PeriodicalId":31372,"journal":{"name":"Yuridika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46613137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dispute between these two entities arises the question of the role of international law, including the position of international law in protecting the right to self-determination and sovereignty of the annexed Palestinian territory. Hence, it is crucial to understand the Israeli practice in the matter of territorial annexation to picture the legal framework provided under international law regarding such issue, within the historical and legal context of the Palestinian case. This research argues that the international law is ambivalent. While many United Nations resolutions and legal scholars, including the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, have concluded the wrongfulness of the annexation of the Palestinian territory, the recognitions of other states and the difficulty in requesting state responsibility disable the access of Palestinians to justice. As such, it is necessary to focus on the tools provided by the international criminal law to prosecute war criminals and perpetrators of crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people from the Israeli political and military elites.","PeriodicalId":31372,"journal":{"name":"Yuridika","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44618853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores the potential of the TRIPS waiver as a mechanism for reconciling the conflicting norms of public health with intellectual property rights protection. It argues that while the TRIPS waiver can be an effective legal instrument which accommodates public health concerns of increasing access to medicines and medical technologies, it has, in its current form and text, many flaws which militate against its effectiveness. These flaws are evident in the way the TRIPS waiver is couched, notwithstanding that the waiver presents multiple benefits including furthering re-humaninisation, distributive justice and decolonisation goals. The article offers recommendations on how the TRIPS waiver adopted during the WTO’s recently concluded 12th Ministerial Conference could be strengthened to eliminate some of its defects in pursuit of expanding access to COVID-19 vaccines and other therapeutic.

The mistakes made by the PA and KPA must be analyzed, to find out the qualifications for the responsibilities of the PA and KPA, whether administrative, criminal, and/or civil liability.
