Abstract

Political instability in Pakistan has led to a weak and inconsistent protection of human rights, with human rights abuses being committed with impunity and limited accountability, ultimately hindering the development of a strong and sustainable democratic system. The paper gives an overview of the legal protections provided under the Constitution of Pakistan regarding fundamental human rights. The paper aims to provides an analysis of the application of various human rights regulations and the ground realities in the country. Using a variety of secondary data sources, including human rights reports, news articles, and legal documents, the paper explores the extent to which the government of Pakistan is fulfilling its obligations under national and international human rights regulations. This research paper examines the current situation of human rights in Pakistan, with a focus on key issues such as the rule of law, economic challenges, fight against corruption and terrorism, women and minority rights, and freedom of expression. The findings suggest that while there have been some positive developments in recent years, such as the strengthening of counter-terrorism measures and the creation of new laws to protect women's rights, significant challenges remain. These challenges include the failure to hold perpetrators of human rights abuses accountable, the use of legal regulations to suppress dissent and free speech, and the continued discrimination against religious minorities and marginalized groups.

Abstract

This research explores the status and challenges faced by the Jewish community in Indonesia, particularly regarding the non-recognition of their religion by the government. The study aims to understand the impact of religious non-recognition on the constitutional rights guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia for Jewish believers. Using a normative legal approach and literature study method, this research analyzes various laws, regulations, and other relevant legal documents, as well as traces the history of legal institutions to understand its context. The findings reveal that although the Jewish community has been present in Indonesia since the era of Srivijaya, Judaism is not officially recognized by the government. As a result, Jewish believers face challenges in practicing their faith, including difficulties in establishing places of worship and obtaining legal protection. Nevertheless, they remain active in practicing their faith, making efforts such as establishing synagogues and communicating with Jewish communities abroad.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the criminology of corruption within Indonesia's public sector, employing the Behavioral Crime Theory, Rational Choice theory, and Social Learning theory as theoretical frameworks. Drawing upon secondary data from reputable sources such as books and journals, the study aims to achieve several objectives: first, to understand the behavioral patterns underlying corrupt activities among public officials; second, to analyze the rational decision-making processes that lead individuals to engage in corrupt practices; and third, to explore the role of social learning mechanisms in perpetuating corrupt behavior within the public sector. The study hypothesizes that the low level of sanctions, coupled with the preference for corruption due to perceived benefits and the inadequate conditions of incarceration, contribute to the persistence of corruption in Indonesia's public sector. Findings indicate a correlation between lenient legal consequences, personal preference for corruption, and the state of correctional facilities, highlighting the need for comprehensive reforms in both legal enforcement and penal institutions. Recommendations include strengthening anti-corruption laws, enhancing penalties for corrupt activities, fostering a culture of integrity through education and awareness, and improving the conditions of imprisonment to serve as a deterrent against corrupt behavior. This research contributes to the understanding of corruption dynamics in the public sector and provides insights for policymakers and law enforcement agencies to combat this pervasive societal issue effectively.
