Faculty of Law (F.H.) University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) held the 2nd International Conference on Law Reform (2nd INCLAR) with the theme "Narrating Law Reform in Asia: Between Fulfilling Human Rights and Restorative Justice." This event ran online and offline on Thursday (23/9), invited speakers from Indonesia and various countries.

It was opening the conference, the Assistant Chancellor (Asrek) of UMM in international accreditation, Drs. Soeparto, M.Pd., said that justice is the basis of human life. He considered that this understanding seemed simple and easy. In fact, in reality, the concept of justice is difficult to implement in real life. He said that this conference would be beneficial if it could be implemented in life, not only in the realm of theory.

Fitria Esfandiari, SH., M.H. as the chief executive, explained that this conference would contribute to the development of the law. Mainly through the enforcement and strengthening of Human Rights (HAM). She convinced her that F.H. had invited various speakers from universities from several countries. He hopes that this international event will provide benefits and generate ideas to do other good research in the future.

Meanwhile, Prof. Hikmahanto Juwana, S.H., LL.M., Ph.D. appointed as one presenter, assessed that Indonesia has changed. Four essential things must be fulfilled at this time, namely the fulfillment of human rights and the law. In addition, efforts are needed to meet the needs of democracy and the voices of the people.

According to him, laws that suit Jakarta are not necessarily compatible with other regions because there are many differences. "If we want to run democracy and freedom of expression, there needs to be proper law enforcement. It should be done so that people feel comfortable when voicing their opinions and implementing democracy," he said.

On the same occasion, Dr. Petra Mahy from the Department of Business Law and Taxation, Monash University, explained the omnibus law in providing employment. He also discussed the legal hierarchy and the response to the judicial review of manpower amendments. He also considered that most of the decisions of the Constitutional Court were responded to by the legislature.

Finally, the Dean of FH UMM, Dr. Tongat, S.H., M. Hum. hope that all participants can find solutions to problems in their respective countries. According to him, the activity shown by the participants made the main objective of this conference well fulfilled. "I also hope that all the things obtained from this agenda can be useful for the future and careers of the participants," he said.

Tongat also wanted the togetherness found at the 2nd INCLAIR Conference not to stop after the event was over. But can continue to be connected through other agendas. "I also appreciate all the participants who have taken the time to attend and contribute to this agenda," he concluded while closing the international conference. (wil)
