Abstract:
Corruption has been dramatically undermining human rights, and there are some legal problems in the anti-corruption law regime. This reality is not only unlawful but also naturally unfair. Therefore, using historical comparative analyses, the article aims to demonstrate two problematic issues remaining in the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), which leave the threshold for human rights abuse and the smooth way to sustainable development, namely the absence of a precise definition of corruption and the absence of sanction provisions under the UNCAC. The article indicates the human rights undermining characteristic of corruption, the UNCAC's problems in coping with systematic corruption, which significantly violates human rights, and relevant scholarly doctrines supportive of the definability of corruption, especially the human-rights-based approach. The paper finally offers the standard definition of corruption under the Human-Rights Based Approach to cover systematic corruption that is sometimes lawful under domestic laws. Furthermore, this paper offers the systematic concrete sanction to make the Convention truly enforceable worldwide. In this regard, the roles of the International Criminal Court (ICC) should be taken into account to achieve a corruption-free society and sustainable development for humanity. Keywords: Systematic corruption, UNCAC, human rights

Abstract:
The Indonesian government had ratified the United Nations Convention Against Corruption [’UNCAC’] through Act No. 7 of 2006. However, the Indonesian Act on Anti-Corruption has yet to be synchronized with UNCAC. On one hand, corruption has become a massive issue in Indonesia, but on the other hand, the existing Anti-Corruption Act has yet to be in compliance with the relevant international instrument. Therefore, the implementation of UNCAC has become more urgent. Aside from the need to counter corruption efficiently and effectively, UNCAC calls upon the need for international cooperation against corruption.

Abstract:
<p>Berbagai upaya pemberantasan korupsi telah dilakukan sejak lama namun belum memberikan hasil sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Tindak pidana korupsi diatur antara lain dalam KUHP yang bersifat umum atau lex generalis dan undang- undang yang dibuat khusus untuk penanggulangan korupsi seperti undang-undang tindak pidana korupsi maupun undang-undang tindak pidana suap. Disamping itu masih terdapat konvensi Internasional seperti United Nations Convention Against Corruption Tahun 2003. Seperti pemerintahan terdahulu, pemerintahan Jokowi juga mempunyai program tentang pemberantasan korupsi yang sudah dimuat dalam Rancangan Teknokrat Jokowi. Dalam rancangan itu dimuat strategi pemberantasan korupsi yang dilakukan melalui harmonisasi perundang-undangan korupsi dengan konvensi internasional. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode normatif yuridis untuk membahas peraturan apa saja yang terkait dengan pemberantasan korupsi serta bagaimanakah harmonisasi peraturan perundang-undangan di bidang korupsi dengan ketentuan United Nations Convention Against Corruption. Dari penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa masih terdapat ketidakharmonisan antara peraturan perundang-undangan di bidang korupsi dengan konvensi Internasional pemberantasan korupsi sehingga perlu segera dilakukan harmonisasi peraturan perundang-undangan nasional dengan konvensi Internasional di bidang korupsi dan strategi yang lebih jitu dan penegakan hukum yang lebih tegas dalam pemberantasan dan pencegahan korupsi ke depan.</p><p>Various corruption eradication efforts have been done for a long time. Yet the result has not been as expected. Corruption is set in Criminal code as lex generalis and other laws made specifically for the prevention of corruption, such as Law of corruption and bribery laws. There are also International conventions such as the United Nations Convention Against Corruption in 2003. Just like the previous government, The President Jokowi’s governance also has programs in eradicating corruption which are already loaded in the draft of Jokowi’s Technocrats. Those draft consist of strategy to combat corruption through harmonization of Regulations on Corruption with international conventions on corruption. This research was conducted using normative juridis method by discussing any regulations that are associated with the eradication of corruption and how the harmonization of the laws and regulations in the field of corruption with the provisions of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. From this research, it can be concluded that there is disharmony between the legislation in the field of corruption and the International Conventions Against Corruption so that is why harmonization of national legislation with international conventions in the field of corruption should be made and accurately strategies and law enforcement in combating and prevent corruption in the future should be more strict.</p>

In positive law in Indonesia related to public participation as victims in corruption crimes is still not regulated in the criminal law. In particular, corruption of state financial losses has harmed society. Many of the Court's Rulings only focus on the return of state losses to the state treasury, however, the real victims are the people who have been charged with the crime of corruption who do not get access to justice from the sentencing of the court. The state must access the return of state losses to the public as victims of corruption crimes Indonesia has ratified the United Nations Convention Against Corruption/UNCAC convention through Law Number 7 Tahun 2006 concerning ratification of the United Nations Convention on Anti-Corruption has not fully provided space for victims in this case the community to be able to demand compensation, restitution, compensation for corruption cases.

Abstract:
Dalam kenyataannya saat ini, meningkatnya kasus tindak pidana korupsi dari tahun ke tahun telah menimbulkan kerugian negara yang sangat besar yang pada gilirannya dapat berdampak pada timbulnya krisis di berbagai bidang. Di samping itu, mengingat bahwa tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia terjadi secara sistematik dan meluas serta lingkupnya yang memasuki seluruh aspek kehidupan masyarakat, tindak pidana korupsi tidak hanya merugikan keuangan negara, tetapi juga telah melanggar hak-hak sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat secara luas dan dalam jangka panjang akan membawa bencana bagi kehidupan bermasyarakat, berbangsa dan bernegara pada umumnya. Karena itu semua maka tindak pidana korupsi tidak lagi dapat digolongkan sebagai kejahatan biasa melainkan kejahatan kerah putih yang berdampak luar biasa. Mengingat hal tersebut, muncul kesadaran bahwa pemberantasan tindak pidana korupsi perlu dilakukan dengan cara-cara luar biasa. Upaya pemberantasan tindak pidana korupsi yang selama lebih dari 60 tahun telah dilakukan, baik pada era Orde Lama dan Orde baru, maupun pada Era Reformasi, serta Era Baru pemerintahan saat ini yakni dengan melakukan berbagai upaya ternyata belum menunjukkan hasil seperti yang diharapkan. Hal ini terbukti dengan hasil survei lembaga rating kaliber dunia berkaitan dengan pemberantasan tindak pidana korupsi telah menempatkan Indonesia ke dalam peringkat teratas di Asia atau sekurang-kurangnya ke dalam kelompok sepuluh besar negara terkorup di dunia. Menanggapi hal ini, sudah tentu hukum harus kembali mengambil peranannya sebagai alat untuk menciptakan masyarakat yang aman, adil, makmur dan sejahtera yakni dengan melakukan penindakan dan pencegahan dilakukannya tindak pidana korupsi. Apabila melihat kebelakang, pada tanggal 18 April 2006 lalu Indonesia telah meratifikasi The United Nations Convention Against Corruption melalui Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia No. 7 Tahun 2006. Namun sangat disayangkan, peratifikasian The United Nations Convention Against Corruption melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2006 tersebut tidak dapat dilaksanakan dengan baik. Hal ini dikarenakan masih banyak prinsip-prinsip yang terdapat dalam The United Nations Convention Against Corruption belum diadopsi oleh peraturan perundang-undangan nasional khususnya peraturan perundang-undangan yang menyangkut pemberantasan tindak pidana korupsi yakni Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia No. 31 Tahun 1999 sebagaimana telah diubah oleh Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia No. 20 Tahun 2001 Tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi. Kata Kunci: Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi, Konvensi PBB menentang Tindak Pidana Korupsi, 2003, Pembaharuan Hukum Pidana. Abstract The continual increase of corruption criminal acts from years to years has caused huge losses to the nation which in turns its impact will induce multiple-aspect crisis. Considering that the Indonesian corruption criminal acts occur systematically and extensively in all aspects of people’s lives, corruption acts do not only harm the nation’s monetary, but also violate people’s social and economical rights widely, and in long terms will bring catastrophe to the lives of the people and the nation. Thus, the corruption criminal acts can no longer be categorized as a common crime but a systematic and organized crime. Corruption criminal acts are also performed as a white collar crimes and extra ordinary crimes. This tendency raises awareness that the eradication of corruption criminal acts needs to be extraordinarily treated. The effort to eradicate corruption criminal acts has been performed for more than 60 years during the Old Order, New Order, Reformation Era, and the New Era of the current government. However, the result has not shown the desired outcome. It is proven by the survey from the world-caliber institution that pertains to the eradication of corruption criminal acts. The result places Indonesia in the first place of the most corrupted nation in Asia and in the big ten in the world. Responding to this issue, laws are supposed to perform its role as an instrument to create a secure, just, prosperous, and flourish society through actions and prevention against the corruption criminal acts. On 18 April 2006, Indonesia has ratified The United Nations Convention against Corruption through the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Number 7/2006 about the validation of The United Nations Convention Against Corruption. Unfortunately, the ratification of The United Nations Convention Against Corruption through the Constitution No. 7/2006 is not well-enforced as there are still many principles in The United Nations Convention Against Corruption which have not been adopted by the national constitution, in particular the constitution on the eradication of corruption criminal acts in the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia No. 20/2001 about the Eradication of Corruption Criminal Acts.

Abstract:
AbstractWith the adoption of the UNCAC in 2003, the international legal development in the fight against corruption has reached its peak. Now the convention has to be filled with life. This is the task of national law-makers, law enforcement bodies and courts. They all need substantial information concerning the content of the convention's articles. Unfortunately, an offical or semi-official commentary to the UNCAC does not exist. This study aims at filling that gap by providing substanial information for the core criminal law provisions “bribery of public offical” and “active bribery of foreign public officials”. To this end, the study reveals cross-relations between the UNCAC and international conventions whose articles have been used as examples for the legal design of the UNCAC. Since several of the preceding conventions are accompanied by official commentaries or explanatory reports, these documents also offer a deep insight into the UNCAC.

Abstract:
The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) was adopted in October 2003 and entered into force on 14 December 2005. It is the first comprehensive global instrument to fight corruption and great hopes are pinned on this convention. The article recalls why corruption is a serious problem and that the various cultural and legal backgrounds make it difficult to come up with a common definition. Hence the States are not equally ready to commit themselves to anti-corruption laws. The evaluation of the content and implementing measures of the UNCAC is embedded in the presentation of other instruments against corruption. In particular, the article describes the current status of the implementation mechanism by the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption, and the results of the first cycle of the Implementation Review Mechanism (2010–2015).

Abstract:
Since the 1990s the fight against corruption has been on everyone’s lips. The United Nations’ approach to the problem resulted in the 2005 United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), the most comprehensive instrument against corruption on the international level. In March 2013, a Panel Discussion on the Negative Impact of Corruption on the Enjoyment of Human Rights took place, convened by the Human Rights Council. What are the links between (anti-)corruption measures and human rights and why do the United Nations deal with it? Both questions are more closely interrelated than it might appear at first sight. This article will not only examine the connection and the United Nations’ involvement, but also provide new aspects for a further debate.

Abstract:
The subject of the thesis is the institutional framework of anti-corruption policy, in particular its anchorage in the form of specialized anti-corruption bodies, referred to as anti-corruption agencies. The aim is to address three main research questions: What specialized anti-corruption bodies exist in the world? How do specialized anti-corruption bodies operate in individual countries? What anti-corruption bodies do exist currently in the Czech Republic and what recommendations can be drawn from the foreign institutional arrangements? To answer them, the current state of research, recommendations and standards for the design and operation of specialized anti-corruption bodies is analysed first. The comparison of anti-corruption agencies in Lithuania, Latvia and Slovenia follows. On this basis, the current situation in the Czech Republic is assessed and recommendations are made. Partial aim of the thesis is to present international discussions and documents, the current state of reseach on this topic in the Czech language, as a comprehensive professional processing of this field is still missing.

Abstract:
Magister Legum - LLM
I attempt to analyze South Africa's legal position pertaining to torture, in relation to the international legal framework. Since it has been established that torture and cruel inhuman and degrading treatment (CIDT) usually occur in situations where persons are deprived of personal liberty, I examine legislation, policies and practices applicable to specific places of detention, such as correctional centres, police custody, repatriation centers, mental health care facilities and child and youth care centers. I establish that although South Africa has ratified the UNCAT and is a signatory to the OPCAT, our legal system greatly lacks in structure and in mechanisms of enforcement, as far as the absolute prohibition and the prevention of torture and other forms of cruel and degrading treatment or punishment are concerned. I submit that South Africa has a special duty to eradicate torture, since many of its citizens and several of its political leaders are actually victims of torture, who suffered severe ill treatment under the apartheid regime. I argue that the South African legal system is sufficiently capable of adopting a zero-tolerance policy toward torture and to incorporate this with the general stance against crime. In many respects, South Africa is an example to other African countries and should strongly condemn all forms of human rights violations, especially torture, since acts of torture are often perpetrated by public officials who abuse their positions of authority. I conclude by making submissions and recommendations for law reform, in light of the obstacles encountered within a South African context.

Abstract:
This thesis will assess the United Kingdom’s implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and other Cruel Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment. It will first focus on a contextual analysis of the problem of torture, examining the circumstances in which it has historically been used, philosophical and theoretical perspectives on the practice and the political aspects of torture, including its effect on international relations. This will illustrate the circumstances in which torture is used, the motivation behind it and the way in which it affects its victims. The argument will then be made that, in view of the uniquely grave nature of the practice of torture, it is insufficient for States to merely criminalise it and punish the offenders. They must actively seek to eradicate it from society and ultimately prevent it from occurring. It is against this aim that the thesis will examine the compliance of the United Kingdom with its obligations under the Convention. This examination will look first at the international regime for the prevention of torture, focusing on the work of the United Nations Committee Against Torture. The engagement of the United Kingdom with this body will be explored in detail and the argument made that more needs to be done in order to ensure that the Committee’s recommendations are put into effect and that treatment contrary to the Convention is prevented from taking place. The final part of the thesis will assess the United Kingdom’s State practice with a focus on key institutions of the State including the courts and the legislature. This part of the thesis will seek to explore the extent to which the practices of these institutions is consistent with an overall aim of preventing torture and the extent to which they show awareness of the Convention and its requirements of the Convention in the discharge of their functions. The conclusion will be drawn that, while the Human Rights Act has gone some way towards improving compliance, more needs to be done to insure a complete implementation by the United Kingdom of its obligations under the Convention and full prevention of torture. The State must actively engage with the Committee and the organs of the State must consider the Convention Against Torture in the discharge of all of their functions to ensure that these aims are achieved.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates whether the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants contains the necessary rules to fulfil its principal purposes—namely, to combat and prevent migrant smuggling and to protect the rights of smuggled migrants. To that end, the thesis examines the rules of the Protocol that regulate the legal definition of the smuggling of migrants, the legal features of smuggling organisations, the obligations and rights of States parties, and finally the rights of smuggled migrants. This thesis uses the legal doctrinal approach, and in doing so critically examines the interpretations of the Protocol provided by primary and secondary sources. This thesis finds that the Protocol fails to provide a clear and comprehensive framework of rules capable of effectively achieving its purposes. It argues that there are deficiencies within the existing rules of the Protocol that address the legal issues aforementioned. The thesis proposes a number of amendments that can address these deficiencies. One of the key contributions of this work is the provision of a guide for States on how to interpret and implement the rules of the Protocol. Furthermore, it assists the international community – in particular the Conference of the Parties – in improving and strengthening the rules of the Protocol to ensure the combating of migrant smuggling and the protection of the rights of smuggled migrants.

Abstract:
Domestic Violence and Gender Violence impact every society on many different layers, loss of capability of work, traumas, and economical losses are amongst the most talked issues. Domestic Violence is not exclusively a violence in which the perpetrator is a male and the victim is a female and they live as a married couple. A lot has been discussed in the last century regarding the equality amongst people irrespectively on their gender, sex, origin, religion. On the International legal level though, legislations protecting victims of Domestic Violence are new and not embraced for the majority of the countries. In this work the goal is to study some International Documents in order to better understand on a legal level if International Law is aiming to protect everyone who is victim of Domestic Violence equally, including members of the extended family. As an International Document there is the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention) that aims to protect everyone who is a victim of Domestic Violence. Unfortunately, it is not compulsory to the state members from the council of Europe to ratify the document and therefore people might not have their Human Rights completely guaranteed in these countries.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis examines the international law pertaining to the use of force by states, in general, and to the use of force in self-defence, in particular. The main question addressed is whether the use of force, which was purported to be in self-defence, by the United States, the United Kingdom and their allies against al Qaeda, the Taliban and Afghanistan, beginning on 7 October 2001, was lawful. The thesis focuses not only on this specific use of force, but also on the changing nature of conflict, the definition of terrorism and on the historical evolution of limitations on the use of force, from antiquity until 2006. In the six chapters which trace the epochs of international law, the progression of five inter-related concepts is followed: limitations on the resort to force generally, the use of force in self-defence, pre-emptive self-defence, the use of forcible measures short of war, and the use of force in response to non-state actors. This historical analysis includes a particular emphasis on understanding the meaning of the 'inherent right of self-defence', which was preserved by Article 51 of the United Nations' Charter. This analysis is then applied to the use of force against Afghanistan which occurred in 2001. Following the terrorist attacks of 11 September, the US and the UK notified the United Nations Security Council of their resort to force in self-defence under Article 51. Each element of Article 51 is analysed and the thesis concludes that there are significant doubts as to the lawfulness of that decision to employ force. In addition to the self-defence justification, other possible grounds for intervention are also examined, such as humanitarian intervention, Security Council authorisation and intervention by invitation. This thesis challenges the common assumption that the use of force against Afghanistan was an example of states exercising their inherent right to self-defence. It argues that if this particular use of force is not challenged, it will lead to an expansion of the right of self-defence which will hinder rather than enhance international peace and security. Finally, this thesis draws on recent examples to illustrate the point that the use of force against Afghanistan could become a dangerous precedent for the use of force in self-defence.

Abstract:

The aim for this thesis is to study the international gender equality work from a perspective of the concept of universalism and particularism, with the United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights, and especially -“The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women”, in focus. The shadowreports of Namibia and Sweden are used as examples of how countries with different historical, political and social contexts are working with gender equality.A theroetical framework is constitued by theories as postmodernism, postcolonialism and feminism with basis from social constructionism. The thesis is methodological influenced by Critical Discourse Analysis. Notions from former studies were also used as tools in the analysis. Some of the main notions, which within the concept of universalism and particularism, appeared as difficulties in the implementing of the CEDAW, were religion, law, democracy and superior position for men towards women.

La Convention des Nations Unies contre la corruption, adoptée en 2003, est le premier outil international criminalisant la corruption de façon aussi détaillée. Ce mémoire tente d'évaluer sa portée en analysant les dispositions concernant la prévention, la criminalisation, la coopération internationale et le recouvrement d'avoirs. Il tente d’évaluer la pertinence et l'efficacité de la Convention en illustrant ses défis en matière de conformité, pour ensuite étudier d'autres outils internationaux existants qui lui font compétition. Malgré sa portée élargie, il est débattu que la Convention souffre de lacunes non négligeables qui pourraient restreindre son impact à l'égard de la conduite d'États Membres.
The United Nations Convention Against Corruption (adopted in 2003) is the first global in-depth treaty on corruption. This work attempts to assess its significance by analyzing its provisions, in particular concerning the areas of prevention, criminalization, international cooperation and asset recovery. It then seeks to assess its relevancy and effectiveness by giving an overview of the Convention's main compliance challenges, as well as other existing initiatives that tackle corruption. Although the Convention innovates in many respects, it is argued that it also suffers from weaknesses that cannot be overlooked, preventing it from having a real impact on States' behavior.

Abstract:
This chapter explains how Article 9 covers a variety of measures complementing the criminalization provisions of Article 8. It clarifies that the provision has no specific origin in previous international treaties and the early drafts of the Convention did not include specific provisions on corruption. However, the provision lacks any binding requirement, which allows States Parties to determine which measures may achieve the goals. The increasing focus of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) on corruption prompted suggestions to split criminalization and preventive measures into separate provisions. Article 9 ensures effective action by its authorities in the prevention, detection and punishment of the corruption of public officials.

Abstract:
This chapter considers Article 8, which looks into the criminalization of active and passive bribery that allows States Parties to criminalize additional corrupt practices. The aforementioned corrupt practices include the corruption of foreign public officials and officials of international organizations. Corruption was included in the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) due to an increasing international focus on corruption driven by the adoption of other international agreements and United Nations activities. The provision is largely inspired by previous international agreements on corruption and its main elements are consistent with pre-existing provisions. The inspiration for Article 8 comes from several pre-existing international or continental European treaties on corruption that criminalize active and passive bribery and define public officials.

Abstract:
One of the most important problems of today is global warming that occurs due to climate change that affects human life. Especially with the industrial revolution, the destruction of forests, the increase in the use of fossil fuel, the increase in the world's population, the increase in energy consumption and the increasing levels of greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere because of human activities such as distorted urbanization has increased more than normal. As a result of this increase, local, regional, international conferences and efforts to raise awareness have been initiated to prevent global warming threatening the future of the world. As a result, it was decided to limit the release of carbon dioxide, which is one of the most important measures that can be taken against global warming, has a high rate of presence between greenhouse gases and has a high rate of presence between greenhouse gases. In this context, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), countries that are parties to the various sectors of greenhouse gas emissions, National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report (NIR) has entered the obligation to report. In the NIR reports that need to be arranged every year, the amount of carbon stored by forests with an important carbon pool should be determined. Carbon in the forest areas, trees; it is stored in lifeless biomass consisting of litter, dead wood, soil organic matter and other substances with live biomass consisting of branches, foliage, stem and roots. In this study, the amount of carbon storage in the black pine stands of Balıkesir Forestry Regional Directorate, Dursunbey Forest Enterprise, Çamlık Forest Planning Unit was calculated based on ecosystem.
