Faculty of Law Students

3rd Winner of 'Piala Konservasi IV'

The awareness towards the amount of forestry and maritime crime in Indonesia has motivated 18 students from the Faculty of Law (FH) of Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) to join a national competition called ‘Piala Konservasi IV’, held on March 22-25, 2019 in Universitas Negeri Semarang. As a result, they had successfully won as the 3rd winner in this Moot Court Competition by using forestry and maritime crime as their main topic.

“We believed that the environmental pollution law and regulation in Indonesia is still poorly conducted, especially with its criminal code. Because up until now, most cases that deal with environmental pollution has only been acted upon according to civil law; that only deals with compensation. Therefore, we think that Indonesia needs an additional law that regulates waste pollution. We are fully aware about this and hopefully, with our participation in this competition, we really show that we care about Indonesia’s natural wealth,” said Marchell Mico Pakel (Law 2015), as one of the team members.

Ervina chose this particular building because of her desire and empathy for this building because for a very long time, this building has only been perceived as a haunted place.

“Lawang Sewu is interesting, but people only know the horror aspect of the building. Although in reality, Lawang Sewu is a train museum. Thus, I want to create a work of design that aims to spike people’s interest to visit the building to have an emotional experience from the historical background and aspects of the building. This also relates back to the Dutch and Japan’s era,” Ervina then explained. Along with Ervina’s achievement, Agnes S. Azarja, one of UPH’s Interior Design lecturer who was also Ervina’s supervisor, also got the award for Best Lecturer during the competition.

Despite all this, Vania still claims that her main focus at the moment is her studies. She regards academic studies as something crucial in supporting her career in the future. This is why Vania chose UPH Communication Science as her place of study. She really believes UPH has everything she needs – UPH is a place where she can enjoy academia while also being an active basketball athlete and entertainer.

This is the value that has been planted in me,” Juan concluded.
