This study discusses the fulfilment of the rights of rape victims in Aceh in the form of restitution payments. Restitution which is the main punishment in Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2014 concerning the Jinayat Law, has never been included in the judge's decision in the cases of rape. Basically Qanun Jinayah has shown its side with rape victims by formulating punishments for perpetrators which are certain to have a deterrent effect such as the length of prison sentences and the number of sentences handed down to the perpetrators. However, the problem of hampering the fulfilment of restitution to victims is a new problem in the realm of enforcing the Jinayah Qanun in Aceh. This raises the question of why restitution was never included in the decision of the Sharia Court for the rape case in Aceh. This research is a literature study using a normative approach which is then explained descriptively. The results of this study showed that the restitution was never included in the decision is due to the incompatibility of the restitution formulation mentioned in the Jinayat Law Qanun and later referred to differently in the Jinayat Procedural Law, namely as compensation. The fulfilment of this right to restitution is also hampered due to the absence of a governor's regulation that contains technical rules regarding the mechanism for executing restitution for victims. The impact of this discontinuity in the formulation of restitution makes judges unable to include sanctions for restitution in their decisions.

Abstract. Corruption is a crucial problem as if there was never a solution. The impact of criminal acts of corruption on the state can lead to the misery of its people, can undermine economic growth, can exacerbate poverty and political instability. With the danger caused by the crime of corruption, a discourse emerged on the application of the death penalty for perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption to give a deterrent effect to the perpetrators. However, the discourse was not approved by the human rights activists on the grounds that the death penalty had no connection with deterrent effect, but instead the death penalty had a negative impact on the country. The purpose of this article is to examine the biblical view of the death penalty discourse on corruptors. The research method used to achieve these goals was through literature study and biblical interpretation. The results showed that corruption was a major crime according to the Bible and therefore the death penalty deserves to be applied. Death sentences against corruptors was not on contrary to love, and on the other hand show the holiness of God who does not compromise to sin.Abstrak. Tindak pidana korupsi menjadi masalah krusial yang seolah-olah tidak pernah ada penyelesaiannya. Dampak tindak pidana korupsi bagi negara dapat menimbulkan kesengsaraan rakyatnya, dapat meruntuhkan pertumbuhan ekonomi, dapat memperburuk kemiskinan dan ketidakstabilan politik. Dengan adanya bahaya yang diakibatkan tindak pidana korupsi tersebut, maka muncul wacana penerapan hukuman mati bagi pelaku tindak pidana korupsi untuk memberikan efek jera bagi pelakunya. Namun demikian, wacana tersebut tidak disetujui oleh kelompok pegiat HAM dengan alasan hukuman mati tidak memiliki hubungan dengan kejeraan, tetapi sebaliknya hukuman mati justru berdampak buruk pada negara. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk mengkaji pandangan Alkitab terhadap wacana hukuman mati terhadap koruptor. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah melalui studi pustaka dan tafsiran Alkitab. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa korupsi adalah termasuk kejahatan besar menurut Alkitab dan oleh karenanya hukuman mati patut untuk diterapkan. Hukuman mati terahdap koruptor tidak bertentangan dengan kasih, dan malah sebaliknya menunjukkan kekudusan Allah yang tidak berkompromi terhadap dosa.

Civil procedure enforces the rules and provisions of civil law.  The law of civil procedure involves the issuing, service and filing of documents to initiate court proceedings in the superior courts and lower courts. Indeed, notice of legal proceedings is given to every person to ensure compliance with the audi alteram partem maxim (“hear the other side”). There are various rules and legislation that regulate these court proceedings such as inter alia, the Superior Courts Act, 2013, Uniform Rules of Court, Constitution Seventeenth Amendment Act, 2012 and the Magistrates’ Courts Act of 1944. The rules of court are binding on a court by virtue of their nature.  The purpose of these rules is to facilitate inexpensive and efficient legislation. However, civil procedure does not only depend on statutory provisions and the rules of court.  Common law also plays a role. Superior Courts are said to exercise inherent jurisdiction in that its jurisdiction is derived from common law.  It is noteworthy that whilst our rules of court and statutes are largely based on the English law, Roman-Dutch law also has an impact on our procedural law. The question thus arises, how can our law of civil procedure transform to accommodate elements of Africanisation as we are part and parcel of the African continent/diaspora? In this regard, the article examines the origins of Western-based civil procedure, our formal court systems, the impact of the Constitution on traditional civil procedure, the use of dispute resolution mechanisms in Western legal systems and African culture, an overview of the Traditional Courts Bill of 2012 and the advent of the Traditional Courts Bill of 2017. The article also examines how the contentious Traditional Courts Bills of 2012 and 2017 will transform or complement the law of civil procedure and apply in practice once it is passed into law.

AbstractFailures of compliance with European Union (EU) directives have revealed the EU as a political system capable of enacting laws in a wide range of different policy areas, but facing difficulties to ensure their actual implementation. Although the EU relies on national enforcement agencies to ensure compliance with the EU legislation, there is scarce analysis of the differential deterrent effect of national enforcement in EU law compliance. This article examines the enforcement of an EU water directive, the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, in Spain and the UK. It focuses on the existing national sanctions for disciplining actors in charge of complying with EU requirements, and on the actual use of punitive sanctions. The analysis shows that a more comprehensive and active disciplinary regime at the national level contributes to explain a higher degree of compliance with EU law. The article calls for a detailed examination of the national administrative and criminal sanction system for a more comprehensive understanding of the incentives and disincentives to comply with EU law at the national state level.

The increasing migration of Nigerian citizens in Indonesia has a mixed impact. Not only the economic sector, but also the increasing number of violations and immigration crimes. The Immigration Office of West Jakarta, which is the jurisdiction of the distribution of Nigerian residences, faces quite difficult problems. The formulation of the problems to be examined in this paper are as follows: (1) How do immigration actions carried out by Immigration Office of West Jakarta in resolving cases of Nigerian citizens who exceed the immigration residence permit time limit and (2) What are the obstacles faced by Immigration Office of West Jakarta in resolving the case. The research method used is qualitative empirical legal research. Based on the results of the discussion, the following legal facts are obtained. The efforts made by Immigration Office of West Jakarta in overcoming abuse of immigration permits by Nigerian citizens are divided into 2 (two) parts, namely preventive efforts and repressive efforts. Preventive efforts carried out by the Immigration Office of West Jakarta are well underway and in accordance with existing regulations. The preventive efforts are realized in 2 (two) systems, namely administrative supervision and field supervision. In addition, these preventive efforts have proven effective with quite a number of Nigerians who abuse immigration permits by the Immigration Office of West Jakarta. Then the existing repressions are felt to require changes in the granting of actions / punishments against Nigerian people who abuse immigration permits. The change is in the form of providing legal action for investigating the violators to take precedence. Because all this time what happened in the field of giving immigration action was prioritized in giving action to Nigerian people who misused immigration permits. Even though the provision of immigration actions does not give a deterrent effect to these actors. So that the impact of these actors will do the same thing again. In practice, in the field of supervision and repression of Nigerian citizens who abuse immigration residence permits carried out by the Immigration Office of West Jakarta, there must be various problems. These problems are divided into 2 (two) factors, namely from the outside and from within. The external factor itself consists of the motives of some Nigerian citizens who came to Indonesia. Then there is a fictitious sponsor that increasingly makes it difficult to trace the perpetrators of abuse of immigration permits. Furthermore, the imbalance between the area of ​​West Jakarta's work area and the number of personnel and equipment that does not support this. Then from the point of view of internal factors which are the obstacles is the lack of supporting factors in carrying out supervision and repression of Nigerian citizens who abuse immigration permits. Finally, the attitude of the immigration officers was less assertive in giving action to Nigerian citizens who committed abuse of immigration permits.

The short-term insurance industry is a cyclical type of business due to the impact of the continuous market cycle. This cycle has a growth phase, soft market phase, hard market phase and a break-even phase. The objective of the research paper focuses on the improvement of financial decision-making when executives of the short-term insurance industry are managing their business during the various phases of the continuous market cycle. Both a literature study and an empirical survey were necessary to achieve the research objective. The empirical survey included the contributions of the top nine commercial and corporate short-term insurers in South Africa. They represented more than 77% of the total gross written premiums in 2009 and can thus be considered as the leaders of the short-term insurance industry in this country. The conclusions of the study should be valuable to other developing countries with emerging market economies as South Africa is also classified as such. The study focused on the various factors which may cause the continuous market cycle, the problem areas which the executives experience concerning the continuous market cycle, and how often various factors are adjusted by the short-term insurers to account for changes in the continuous market cycle.
