JAKARTA - In commemoration of the 79th Guardian Day of 2024 and the Legal and Human Rights Service Festival, the Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna Laoly inaugurated 51 Villages/Sub-districts Aware of the Law and inaugurated 80 Villages/Districts of Legal Awareness fostered by the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kanwil Kemenkumham) Banten at the Tangerang Class I Child Special Development Institution (LPKA) Field, Wednesday, August 7.

Yasonna Laoly expressed her joy at the Banten Legal and Human Rights Service Festival which is packaged in a rural atmosphere, describing the presence of the state in the community to provide direct legal and human rights services. This event shows the accountability of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to the public according to the theme raised, namely The closest you get to the community, said Yasonna in a written statement received by VOI.

Yasonna also emphasized the importance of Intellectual Property Rights (HAKI) for creative economy actors. "Education on HAKI is very important to maintain the authenticity of ideas. Owners of registered ideas will receive protection from the state and royalties if their ideas are used or imitated by others," he explained.

According to Yasonna, in the globalization era, HAKI ownership is very important to penetrate the global market. Products that do not have HaKI protection are at risk of violating trademarks and do not have trade secret protection. Yasonna encourages small business actors, such as batik producers and regional foods, to register their copyright to be well protected.

In relation to Villages/Sub-districts Aware of the Law, Yasonna invites the public to obey the law. Muhammad Yamin once said that villages are an important part of the structure of the Free Indonesia state. Villages are the pillars of justice and social welfare," he added.

Yasonna Laoly explained that massive intellectual property registration and individual company registration services for micro and small business actors (UMK), notary consultations, and immigration services with gold visas will have a positive impact on economic growth and investment climates in Indonesia, including in villages.

"Improving public legal awareness through village programs of legal awareness is very important in facing global challenges. Regions with high legal awareness support the investment climate, according to the government's commitment to increasing ease of doing business in the era of society and industry 5.0," he said.

The Head of the Banten Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regional Office, Dodot Adikoeswanto, stated that the Legal and Human Rights Service Festival presented various types of services of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in one place and one time (one stop service). "With the theme The closest to the Community', the Banten Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regional Office wants to realize its commitment to providing easy, fast, and affordable legal services for the community," he said.

Some of the services held at this event include Immigration Services, Public Legal Administration Services, Intellectual Property Services, Correctional Exhibitions, as well as promotions of superior products from Villages/Sub-districts Aware of Law in Banten Province. Immigration Services, for example, provide 79 e-Passport creation quotas carried out by the Class I Immigration Office Non TPI Tangerang. AHU services provide Limited Company services, Individual Companies, Associations, Notariats, Citizens, and Apostille to support ease of doing business.
