This study aims to examine and analyze the legal considerations employed by judges in rendering verdicts against children who commit theft, with a specific focus on a case adjudicated by the Class IA District Court of Kupang. Utilizing a normative juridical method, the research applies statutory and case-based approaches. Data were collected through literature review and the analysis of court decisions. The findings reveal that judicial considerations extend beyond the formal legal requirements outlined in Article 362 of the Indonesian Criminal Code. Judges also evaluate non-juridical aspects such as the child’s family background, age, education level, remorse, and recommendations from the Correctional Center (Balai Pemasyarakatan). The verdicts rendered prioritize rehabilitative and developmental outcomes over punitive measures, reflecting a restorative justice model. This approach aligns with the best interest of the child principle, as mandated by Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The study underscores the importance of a child-centered legal response that not only addresses criminal accountability but also fosters reintegration and future development. It calls for consistent application of rehabilitative justice in juvenile cases to ensure both legal certainty and humane treatment of child offenders.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22336 Tanggungjawab Pemilik Hewan Peliharaan Bagi Korban Gigitan Anjing Rabies Di Tinjau Dari Kuhperdata Di Kabupaten Belu 2026-05-18T06:27:15+00:00 Febrini Welhelmina Asa febriniasa21@gmail.com Darius Mauritsius daariusmauritsius@gmail.com Helsina F Pello helsinafransiska@gmail.com <p><em>The implementation of the legal responsibility of animal owners towards victims of rabies dog bites in Belu Regency is de jure regulated by Articles 1365 and 1368 of the Civil Code. However, de facto, this system experiences systemic dysfunction due to various structural and socio-cultural obstacles: (1) Internal factors of animal owners—as seen from the low level of education among owners (50% only have elementary/junior high school education) related to a lack of knowledge about the law (66.7% do not understand legal obligations), an indifferent attitude (“bites are not considered a serious problem”), and negligence in supervision (dogs are allowed to roam without vaccination); (2) External factors—consisting of difficulties in proving animal ownership (lack of dog identification), minimal access for victims to reach legal mechanisms (66.7% of victims do not know the reporting procedure), and weak supervision from the government (incomplete socialization, lack of firm sanctions); (3) Systemic impact—only 33.3% of victims received accountability (customary treatment/mediation costs), but 50% of animal owners refused to accept responsibility, leaving victims trapped in a justice vacuum that worsens the potential for a rabies outbreak. Sustainable solutions are needed through multidimensional interventions: application of administrative sanctions, legal education based on culture, and cooperation between agencies (Livestock Service, Health Service, and Police). Without this synergy, victims will remain the most disadvantaged party in a legal system that is not yet functioning optimally.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22148 Peran Dinas Kehutanan Dalam Menanggulangi Tindak Pidana Illegal Logging diKelurahan Umanen, Kecamatan Atambua Barat, Kabupaten Belu 2026-05-18T06:27:16+00:00 Eduardus Franko Sufani engkoseduu@gmail.com Heryanto Amalo Amalo.hery@yahoo.co.id Bhisa Vitus Wilhelmus bvwilhelmus@gmail.com <p><em>The problem of illegal logging is actually a very complex matter, because it is not only related to the law enforcement or juridical aspects, but also related to economic, sociological and cultural aspects.

The type of research in this study is empirical legal research. The types and sources of data used are primary data and secondary data. The role of the Forestry Service in overcoming illegal logging practices in the Umanen area, West Atambua District, Belu Regency is carried out with two handling approaches, namely the preventive approach, namely the approach to the community, empowering the community, and reforestation (replanting bare forests). The repressive approach, namely conducting operations, and imposing severe sanctions on those who violate. Obstacles in overcoming Illegal Logging include legal obstacles, geographical factors, lack of law enforcement facilities and infrastructure, weak coordination between law enforcers, and community human resource factors.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22379 Pertanggung Jawaban Pidana Perkosaan Ayah Terhadap Anak Kandung Di Pengadilan Negeri Kelas 1 Kupang (Putusan Nomor 113/PID.SUS/2021/ PN KPG ) 2026-05-18T06:27:16+00:00 Fransiskus Varan Amaina varanamaina@gmail.com Orpa G.

The study focuses on two main aspects: (1) how criminal sanctions are applied to perpetrators of human trafficking, and (2) how the panel of judges considers legal reasoning in sentencing the perpetrator in this case. This research employs a normative-empirical juridical method. The data used are secondary data obtained through literature studies on relevant laws and court decisions.The findings show that the judge chose the third indictment to be applied to the defendant, which refers to Article 6 of Law Number 21 of 2007 on the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. The defendant was proven to have fulfilled all the elements of the crime. In their consideration, the panel of judges sentenced the defendant to five (5) years of imprisonment and ordered restitution of Rp500,000. However, the verdict reveals a discrepancy with Article 6 of Law Number 21 of 2007, which stipulates that imprisonment and fines are cumulative. In this case, the judge imposed only imprisonment without any fine. Therefore, in issuing a verdict, the panel of judges must thoroughly consider all aspects to avoid potential errors that could lead to injustice.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22574 Analisis Kriminologis Terhadap Kasus Kawin Tangkap Pada Masyarakat Sumba Barat Daya (Studi Kasus di Polres Sumba Barat Daya) 2026-05-18T06:27:17+00:00 Cornelis Derry Wonderson kalli Corneliskalli@gmail.com Karolus Kopong Medan kkopongmedan1962@gmail.com Debby F Ng Fallo debifallo@gmail.com <p><em>&nbsp;Capture marriage is a form of marriage in which a woman is kidnapped or forcibly captured to be made a wife.

This research aims to analyze the application of these two principles in the context of Indonesian civil and land law. The method used is a normative legal approach by analyzing statutory regulatory documents, court decisions and expert views. The research results show that the principle of horizontal separation, which divides rights to land and objects attached to it, is regulated in the Civil Code and the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA). Meanwhile, the principle of vertical attachment, which views land and attached objects as one unit, is reflected in the Civil Code and several related laws and regulations. The application of these principles in the transfer of rights affects how buildings, plants and other objects attached to land are legally regulated. The principle of horizontal separation allows the transfer of land rights without having to transfer rights to the objects attached, while the principle of vertical attachment causes these objects to automatically transfer rights. This research concludes that Indonesian land law tends to adhere to the principle of horizontal separation, as reflected in the UUPA, which provides clear regulations regarding the legal relationship between land and the objects on it.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22577 Analisis Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Debitur Dalam Transaksi Pinjaman Online Di Aplikasi Adakami 2026-05-18T06:27:18+00:00 Rudyanto Benyamin Hendika Katoda andikakatoda3@gmail.com Darius Mauritsius dariusmauritsius@gmail.com Husni Kusuma Dinata hkusumad@gmail.com <p><em>One of the innovations that emerged from this progress is the presence of online loan services.

Indonesia argued that the policy aimed to protect natural resources and promote downstream industrialization for the prosperity of its people, as mandated by Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution. This dispute highlights the tension between national sovereignty over natural resource management and international obligations within the global trade system. The WTO Panel ruled that Indonesia’s policy was inconsistent with the GATT, sparking debate over the fairness and flexibility of WTO rules for developing countries. This study aims to analyze two main issues: (1) The harmonization of WTO rules with Law No. 3 of 2020 in the context of the EU’s complaint, and (2) The impact of the WTO’s decision on Indonesia’s nickel ore export ban policy. The research method used is normative legal research with a qualitative approach based on literature study. The findings indicate that the WTO’s decision in case DS592, which favored the European Union, could potentially undermine Indonesia’s downstream strategy. However, due to the dysfunction of the Appellate Body following a U.S. blockade, the appeal process has been delayed, allowing Indonesia to maintain its export policy for now. If Indonesia wins the appeal, Law No. 3 of 2020 and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 11 of 2019 can remain in force. If it loses, the policy must be adjusted to align with GATT 1994, possibly through a limited quota system, progressive export taxes, or downstreaming incentives. Harmonizing policies is crucial to balance national interests with international obligations and to enhance the effectiveness of industrial downstreaming through selective policies and strict supervision</em><strong><em>.</em></strong></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22411 Pertanggungjawaban Rusia dan Ukraina terhadap Penyerangan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Nuklir (Nuclear Power Plant) Zaporizhzia selama Konflik Bersenjata dalam Perspektif Hukum Internasional 2026-05-18T06:27:20+00:00 Barbara Britny Bele Bau ninybelebau@gmail.com Elisabeth N S B Tukan elisabeth.tukan@staf.undana.ac.id Gerald A Bunga gerald.bunga@yahoo.com <p><em>The attacks on the Zaporizhzia Nuclear Power Plant during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, bring the world closer to nuclear accident.

The study was prompted by a fatal incident during a practice session, where inadequate technical inspection led a participant to lose control and crash into spectators, causing severe injuries and one fatality. The aim is to examine the forms of negligence committed by organizers and their legal implications. Employing a socio-legal research method with an empirical juridical approach, data were collected through interviews and direct observation at the incident site. The findings reveal that the negligence included poor supervision of vehicle conditions, non-compliance with safety standards, and weak coordination—actions considered to violate legal norms. Legal enforcement involves investigation, administrative sanctions by regulatory bodies such as the Indonesian Motor Association (IMI), and the potential for criminal liability under Article 359 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), which addresses negligence causing death or serious injury.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22696 Kajian Hukum Pidana Penyalahgunaan Dana Gereja: Studi Kasus Kupang Timur 2026-05-18T06:27:23+00:00 Juane Priskila non.juanepriskila@gmail.com Deddy R.

Based on these problems, this study aims to determine and understand the criminal acts that occur in the management of church funds, as well as the form of criminal responsibility carried out in the East Kupang Classis and the Imatha Yonif 743/PSY Naibonat Church. The type of research used is empirical legal research, through an approach that emphasizes legal analysis seen from social reality. This study not only examines the applicable written legal norms, but also examines the application of the law in society, especially in the misuse of church funds. Data were obtained directly from the research location through interview techniques with sources from the East Kupang Classis Congregation and the Imatha Yonif 743/PSY Naibonat Congregation. In addition, data were also obtained from reading several literatures that were in accordance with the problem, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the study show that the settlement of the case against the two churches was carried out internally by providing compensation in the form of replacement money by the parties involved and the dismissal of active military members from their positions as deputy chairmen of the congregation council. Therefore, a firm legal strategy and internal church policy are needed to strengthen the integrity and transparency in the financial management of religious institutions.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22777 Kajian Perbandingan Hukum Terhadap Larangan Perkawinan Hukum Adat Ana Wale Dan Undang-Undang No. 1 Tahun 1974 Tentang Perkawinan (Studi Kasus Di Kecamatan So’a Kabupaten Ngada) 2026-05-18T06:27:23+00:00 Faustin Ye Wale faustinwale9@gmail.com Darius Mauritsius dariusmauritsius@gmail.com Chatryen M.

Ana Wale customary law recognizes the prohibition of marriage with the Sengi tribe based on a hereditary customary agreement known as Tura Zazi or bloody oath, which arose from historical conflicts and aims to maintain social harmony. Meanwhile, the Marriage Law stipulates prohibitions based on blood relations, consanguinity, consanguinity, and religious rules. This research uses an empirical legal method with a qualitative approach through interviews and document studies. The results show that although there are similarities in the purpose of the prohibition, namely maintaining social and moral order, there are fundamental differences in the legal basis, the form of sanctions, and in the prohibition in the Ana Wale Customary Law there is an agreement stating that the two prohibited tribes are blood relatives not based on lineage but based on a customary agreement or oath. This research contributes to the understanding of harmonization between national law and customary law and becomes a reference in the preparation of policies that are culturally just.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22782 Analisis Yuridis Pembelisan Dalam Perkawinan Adat Suku Kodi Kabupaten Sumba Barat Daya 2026-05-18T06:27:24+00:00 Zeanette Tiana Kaha janetkaha11@gmail.com Orpa J Nubatonis orpa.nubatonis@staf.undana.ac.id Helsina F Pello helsina@staf.undana.ac.id <p><em>Sumba Island in East Nusa Tenggara consists of four districts, one of which is Southwest Sumba which is inhabited by the Kodi, Wewewa, and Laura tribes.

In the Kodi tribe, belis consists of horses, buffaloes, machetes, spears, and mamoli, with horses and buffaloes being the most valuable, while pigs are only complementary. This tradition is a symbol of respect and unification of two families. However, now, there has been a shift in values, where the amount of belis is more influenced by the level of education of women, reflecting a change from traditional values ​​to respect for education. The problems discussed in this journal are: (1) How are the Procedures for Buying in Traditional Marriages of the Kodi Tribe, Southwest Sumba Regency, NTT? and (2) What are the Obstacles or Constraints in the Implementation of Buying in Traditional Marriages of the Kodi Tribe, Southwest Sumba Regency, NTT?

The results of this study shows that one of the clashes was found in the encounter between Cathoilc marriage law and the marriage model in the Manggarai culture. Church law is in the context of Manggarai culture which has customary law about customary marriage. In the catholic chruch marriage law, one of the obstacles is if the couple has a blood relationship. The concept of Catholic religious marraige is very contrary to understanding of Tungku marriage in Mangarai culture.&nbsp; The model according to the religious law and belief of each party that carries of Tungku marriage is a form of marriage tradition. It can be concluded that consanguineous marriage (Tungku) have violated the provisions of Article 8 of Law Number 1 of 1974 which regalutes the prohibition of consanguineous marriage becaus there is still a blood relationship between siblings. And consanguineous marriage (Tungku) that have been carried out in the traditions of the Manggarai coumminity are considered valid according to the customary law of the Manggarai community.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22369 Proses Penyelesaian Kenetu Bewoten Terhadap Pihak-Pihak Yang Bersengketa Menurut Adat Lamaholot Adonara Flores Timur 2026-05-18T06:27:25+00:00 Rahmat Lebu Raya rattandragon365@gmail.com Simplexius Asa simplexius.asa@gmail.com Kornelia Melansari Lewokeda melan.kopeng@gmail.com <p><em>Dispute resolution is not solely conducted through the state's formal legal channels, but is more often settled through customary mechanisms that prioritize family values and social balance. This study aims to understand and analyze the dispute resolution process according to Lamaholot customary law, the role of traditional leaders in resolving disputes, as well as the relevance and effectiveness of such customary law in the context of modern society. This research employs a qualitative method with a juridical-sociological approach. Data were obtained through literature review, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and local community members, as well as direct observation of customary dispute resolution practices in accordance with Lamaholot traditions. The findings reveal that dispute resolution under Lamaholot customary law involves stages such as family deliberations, customary meetings, and ultimately, traditional peace rituals. The process is aimed at restoring social harmony and preserving the dignity of the disputing parties. It not only resolves the issues materially, but also addresses them morally and spiritually. The study concludes that Lamaholot customary law still holds strong normative authority and can coexist with the national legal system in resolving disputes. This customary law reflects local wisdom that must be preserved, maintained, and integrated into the development of an inclusive national legal system rooted in the cultural values of the community.</em></p> 2026-05-01T00:00:00+00:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://ejurnal.undana.ac.id/index.php/alj/article/view/22388 Akibat Hukum Atas Kelalaian Tenaga Kesehatan Dalam Memberikan Obat Kadaluarwarsa Di Kota Kupang 2026-05-18T06:27:25+00:00 Inggrid Modok inggridmodok13@gmail.com Yossie M Y Jacob yossiejacob@staf.undana.ac.id Helsina F Pello helsinafransiska@gmail.com <p><em>Health law is needed to regulate health problems in order to create order in life, health law is all legal rules directly related to health maintenance and the application of rules and regulations in civil law instruments, criminal law, as long as these rules regulate legal relations in health care.
