This study examines the Supreme Court's authority to publish rulings on private cases and its impact on individuals' privacy rights. This authority, framed by transparency and data protection principles, is grounded in the right to public information per the Indonesian Constitution and Law No. 14 of 2008. However, publishing decisions in sensitive cases, such as divorce and domestic violence, risks violating individual privacy. This research addresses the urgent need to balance transparency and privacy by analyzing the legal basis and limitations on the Court’s authority. Through normative legal methods and legislative analysis, this study reviews key guidelines, including Supreme Court Decision No. 2-144/KMA/SK/VIII/2022, to recommend privacy protections for sensitive information in judicial rulings. Findings indicate that, despite a general obligation to disclose court decisions, exceptions must be made for sensitive data to safeguard privacy, contributing to a nuanced approach to judicial transparency.

This study examines the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs) in the Israel-Palestine conflict through the frameworks of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and Islamic law. Both legal systems emphasize humane treatment for POWs; however, reports indicate severe rights violations against Palestinian detainees in Israel, including torture and inhumane conditions. Conversely, Hamas is reported to treat POWs by relatively higher standards. By integrating IHL and Islamic principles, this research provides a novel perspective on legal and ethical dimensions in POW treatment amid a prolonged conflict. Findings underscore the urgent need for enforcing humane standards to curb human rights abuses. Although based on secondary data, the study emphasizes the importance of further primary-source research and calls for enhanced international monitoring and strict adherence to IHL to ensure legal protections for POWs in active conflict zones.
