Abstract

The concept of constitutional complaints is becoming increasingly crucial in the protection of fundamental rights. In Indonesia, the authority of the Constitutional Court (MK) is currently limited to reviewing laws, resolving election disputes, dissolving political parties, and resolving disputes over the jurisdiction of state institutions. Consequently, there is a legal vacuum in protecting the rights of citizens violated by actual acts or omissions of state officials that are not related to the constitutionality of laws. This article examines the legal politics behind the absence of constitutional complaints in Indonesia as well as the prospects for their implementation. Using a normative legal approach and comparative analysis with Germany, South Korea, and Thailand, this study explores the role of this instrument in safeguarding citizens’ rights, preventing abuse of power, and strengthening judicial independence. The research findings indicate that the adoption of constitutional complaints in Indonesia would expand access to justice, align the legal system with international human rights standards, and affirm the Constitutional Court’s role as the guardian of the constitution. Nevertheless, challenges such as political resistance, the risk of a surge in caseload, and institutional readiness must be addressed through careful design. The constitutional complaint is not merely a prospective legal reform but a constitutional necessity to realize a democratic, participatory, rights-based state and to strengthen public confidence in the rule of law.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tentang faktor relasi antara Organisasi Sumatra Thawalib, terhadap berkembangnya Peraturan Daerah (PERDA) berbasis syariah di Sumatra Barat. Keberadaan Perda Syariah masih menjadi polemik hangat yang menimbulkan atensi publik terhadap pembentukan dan penerapannya di lapangan. Provinsi Sumatra Barat merupakan salah satu daerah dengan Perda Syariah terbanyak di Indonesia. Pasca berlakunya Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2022 tentang Sumatra Barat, muncul interpretasi kewenangan membentuk perda syariah menjadi semakin luas, hal tersebut dianggap berpotensi inkonstitusional mengingat status Sumatra Barat bukanlah Daerah Istimewa. Tulisan ini termasuk ke dalam penelitian hukum empiris dengan pendekatan budaya hukum sebagai kerangka analisis untuk melihat relasi kultur sosial-budaya dan pendidikan terhadap lahirnya Perda Syariah. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ditemukan relasi secara langsung antara keberadaan Sumatra Thawalib terhadap lahirnya Perda Syariah di Sumatra Barat, meskipun banyak dari alumni Sumatra Thawalib menduduki jabatan strategis di bidang politik, khususnya partai bercorak Islam. Formalisasi syariah ke dalam bentuk perda lebih dipengaruhi oleh faktor politik dan adat. di sisi lain, Perda Syariah cenderung mengatur simbol-simbol agama di ruang publik, dan dari sisi efektivitas sulit untuk diterapkan.
