Monograph The Impact of Political Policy of The Land Law

This booklet is a monograph of teaching material on Agrarian Law and Housing and Settlement Law in the Undergraduate Study Program at the Faculty of Law, Padjadjaran University (Unpad). As a monograph, this book is written based on the rules of writing a monograph book determined by the Directorate of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Culture. This book examines the provisions of Article 21 paragraph (1) of Law No.5 of 1960 concerning Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles (UUPA), which states that “Only Indonesian Citizens can have Property Rights” and Article 21 paragraph (3) states: “Foreigners who, after the enactment of this Law, obtain property rights due to inheritance without a will or a mixture of assets due to marriage, likewise Indonesian citizens who have ownership rights and after the entry into force of these Laws lose their citizenship and are obliged to relinquish those rights within one year. That is, since the acquisition of that right or the loss of citizenship. If after that period the title is released, the right is void because the law and the land fall on the State …”An interesting legal fact is that violations of the “prohibition provisions” by foreign nationals control/own property rights using nominee agreements. This book tries to explain the emergence of legal problems, both at the level of law as a normative phenomenon and at the level of law as a social phenomenon; and try to describe legal alternatives, for foreigners who intend to have a place to live or want to have certain land rights that are protected by law and given legal certainty in the frame of national agrarian law without having to violate the law.
