"Using original and archival material, The Right to Privacy traces the origins and influence of the right to privacy as a social, cultural and legal idea. Richardson argues that this right had emerged as an important legal concept across a number of jurisdictions by the end of the nineteenth century, providing a basis for its recognition as a universal human right in later centuries. This book is a unique contribution to the history of the modern right to privacy. It covers the transition from Georgian to Victorian England, developments in Second Empire France, insights in the lead up to the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) of 1896, and the experience of a rapidly modernising America around the turn of the twentieth century. It will appeal to an audience of academic and postgraduate researchers, as well as to the judiciary and legal practice."

"Penelitian ini mengkaji esensi dari prinsip keadilan restoratif sebagai pendekatan dalam penyelesaian kasus pidana, dan bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran tentang pembangunan prinsip keadilan restoratif dalam penegakan hukum pidana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa prinsip keadilan restoratif telah digunakan di berbagai pembelajaran dalam pemahaman sebagai metode penyelesaian kasus pidana alternatif, dengan cara posisi di luar sistem peradilan pidana. Ternyata dalam prakteknya, bagaimanapun, memiliki kelemahan tertentu, terutama mengingat aspek akuntabilitas dan legitimasi pendiriannya. Oleh karena itu, ada kebutuhan untuk proses penyelidikan ilmiah untuk tujuan menentukan status pihak yang terlibat dalam sebuah kasus, serta untuk posisi kasus yang bersangkutan. Berdasarkan pandangan tersebut, prinsip keadilan restoratif tampaknya merupakan pendekatan yang ideal untuk diterapkan dalam sistem peradilan pidana.

This research reviews the essence of the restorative justice principle as an approach in the settlement of criminal cases, and it aims to provide an overview of the construction of the restorative justice principle in criminal law enforcement. The outcomes of the research indicate that the restorative justice principle has been subject to frequent study in its understanding as an alternative criminal case settlement method, by way of positioning outside the criminal judiciary system. As it turns out in practice, however, it has certain weaknesses, particularly in view of the accountability and legitimacy aspects of its establishment. Therefore, there is a need for a scientific investigation process for the purpose of determining the status of parties involved in a case, as well as for positioning the case concerned. Based on such view, the restorative justice principle appears to be the ideal approach to be applied in the criminal judiciary system."

"ABSTRAKMalaysia is a common law country, and as such the decisions of its courts have a binding and law-making force. This means that the Malaysian judiciary is highly influential in setting the tenor of governance. In this article I examine and analyze some key decisions that had an influence on divisiveness and dissent in the country. I point out that the courts have been poor in ensuring that the legal system protects the nation from divisive elements, and the legal system does not do enough to guarantee the fundamental rights and democratic principles that were envisioned by the founding fathers for the citizenry. The article closes with an attempt to understand why this is the case."

"The Constitutional Court of Indonesia plays significant role in securing democracy in Indonesia. In exercising their authorities, including the election result dispute and judicial review, the Court continues to affirm institutional judicial legitimacy and pursue their role to guard 1945 Constitution. The first Chief Justice Jimly Asshiddiqie showed how within five years of the Court?s establishment, he could strategically maximize its momentum and build the Court as a respectful institution. The Chief Justice Mahfud M D was then elected to reduce the judicial activism started by Jimly?s bench. However, against promises and expectations, Mahfud M D brought the Court to a level far beyond the imagination of the Constitution drafters. Parliament and President tried to limit the Court?s authority, not ones, and the Court was able to overcome those constrain. Current various available studies observed only how the Court issued their decisions and solely focus to the impact of the decisions. Scholars slightly ignore other constitutional actors in studying about the Court. In fact, political environment where the Court operated is one of the most important aspects which strengthen the Court?s institutional legitimacy. This paper attempts to discover the rise of the Court from political environment view outside the court. Political parties? maturity and political constraint are the key factors that support the development of the Court?s institutional power.

Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia (Mahkamah) memerankan peran yang signifikan dalam mengawal demokrasi di Indonesia. Dalam menjalankan kewenangannya, termasuk di dalamnya penyelesaian sengketa tentang hasil pemilihan umum dan pengujian undang-undang terhadap Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945, Mahkamah terus membangun legitimasi institutisinya dalam menjalankan peran sebagai pengawal Konstitusi 1945. Ketua Mahkamah yang pertama, Jimly Asshiddiqie, menunjukkan bagaimana dalam jangka waktu lima tahun dari pendirian Mahkamah, beliau dapat secara strategis memaksimalkan momentum pendirian ini dan membangun Mahkamah sebagai institusi yang dihormati. Kemudian Mahfud M D dipilih sebagai Ketua Mahkamah, dengan maksud untuk mengurangi kegiatan yudisial yang dimulai oleh Jimly dan jajarannya. Namun demikian, berlawanan dengan janji-janji dan harapan-harapan, Mahfud M D justu membawa Mahkamah ke tingkat yang jauh lebih tinggi dari yang semula dibayangkan oleh para pencetus pendirian Mahkamah. Perwakilan Rakyat dan Presiden kemudian mencoba untuk membatasi kewenangan Mahkamah, namun Mahkamah berhasil mengatasi hambatan-hambatan tersebut. Berbagai studi atas Mahkamah saat ini hanya meneliti bagaimana Mahkamah mengeluarkan putusan-putusan dan hanya berfokus pada dampak putusan-putusan tersebut serta acap kali mengesampingkan aktor-aktor konstitusional lainnya. Faktanya, situasi politik di mana Mahkamah berada saat itu merupakan salah satu hal yang terpenting yang dapat memperkuat legitimasi insitusional Mahkamah. Artikel ini mencoba untuk menemukan kebangkitan Mahkamah dari sudut pandang situasi politik di luar Mahkamah. Kedewasaan partai-partai politik dan kendala politis merupakan kunci yang mendukung perkembangan kewenangan institusional Mahkamah."
