Abstract

The appointment of ambassadors is crucial to a state's diplomatic effectiveness and representation in international forums. In Indonesia, the appointment of non-career diplomats to strategic ambassadorial positions has raised concerns regarding compliance with meritocratic governance and competency requirements. This study examines whether Indonesia's regulatory framework governing diplomatic appointments adequately ensures diplomatic competence and aligns with the principles of Siyasah Dauliyah. Employing normative legal research, the study uses statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches to analyze the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 37 of 1999 on Foreign Relations, Law No. 5 of 2014 on State Civil Apparatus, and Presidential Regulation No. 56 of 2021. The findings reveal that the existing framework grants broad discretion over ambassadorial appointments while lacking measurable, enforceable competency standards. This gap weakens the implementation of merit-based governance and may affect diplomatic effectiveness. Drawing on the principles of amanah (trustworthiness), kifayah (competence), and 'adalah (justice), this study proposes an integrated evaluative framework for diplomatic appointments. It argues that legal reform is necessary to establish objective competency benchmarks and transparent selection mechanisms for both career and non-career diplomats.

Abstract

This research analyzes the effectiveness of the implementation of Digital Population Identity (Identitas Kependudukan Digital/IKD) based on Article 14 of the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs No. 72 of 2022 in Bandung Regency from the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah. The research employs an empirical juridical method by collecting interview data, IKD activation data, relevant legal sources, as well as related literature and academic journals. The collected data are analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that the implementation of IKD has achieved internal effectiveness, particularly in accelerating population administration services and ensuring data security through proactive service strategies. However, the implementation faces critical external challenges, namely the rejection of IKD by third parties such as banks and financial institutions, as well as infrastructure limitations, including the requirement for personal devices and inadequate network connectivity. From the perspective of Siyasah Dusturiyah, the IKD policy aligns with the principle of public welfare (maslahah) through efficiency and data protection; nevertheless, these external constraints threaten the fulfillment of daruriyah, hajiyah, and tahsiniyah aspects in the equitable delivery of public services
