The involvement of FH UGM academics reflects the faculty's commitment to making a tangible contribution to the development of national law, particularly through relevant scientific studies that align with societal dynamics and global legal developments.
Quoting the DPR RI website, the Deputy Chair of the Special Committee on the Draft Law on International Civil Law (HPI), Prof. Dr. Yasonna H.
