This study examines various regulations related to Indonesian Migrant Worker policies and criminal sanctions for perpetrators of human trafficking. This study uses a normative legal method by examining various sources of law, both national law and international agreements such as the Palermo Protocol. The results of the study show that Indonesia has ratified various major international conventions and has passed Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers and Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of Human Trafficking. These laws provide strong protection for migrant workers from the conservation, placement, and post-placement stages, and provide severe penalties for perpetrators of human trafficking. However, despite these various legal efforts, there are still many problems in law enforcement. This is reflected in the increasing cases of Human Trafficking, with 2,149 victims rescued in 2023. The study highlights the urgent need for better oversight, stricter conservation rules, and stronger law enforcement to prevent, cover and protect migrant workers. </span></p> Sukman Budi Parmono Rahmatul Hidayati Copyright (c) 2025 Sukman, Budi Parmono, Rahmatul Hidayati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 12 1 1 23 https://journal.appthi.org/index.php/lexpublica/article/view/286 <p class="Abstract-keywords"><span lang="EN-US">The implementation of personal data protection regulations in the Indonesian fintech sector, specifically Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection and Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 77 of 2016, shows significant progress in implementing a comprehensive legal framework. This framework adopts international standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation, is supported by the establishment of a Personal Data Protection Agency, and mandates reporting of data breach incidents. However, covering personal data remains a serious threat, resulting in financial losses, psychological distress, and reputational damage for consumers. This highlights the challenges in consistent law enforcement, low digital literacy among the public, and the need for wider implementation of advanced security technologies. To improve legal protection, it is important to strengthen oversight and law enforcement mechanisms, improve digital literacy among the public through continuing education, mandate the implementation of advanced security technologies by fintech providers, and regulate reporting and complaint mechanisms. </span></p> Bintang Mahacakri Lisan Putri Rohaini Pham Hong Nung Ria Wierma Putri Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 12 1
