<![CDATA[This study aims to construct a constitutional legal framework for recognizing the Right to Truth as an unwritten fundamental constitutional right within the Indonesian legal system. Although the 1945 Constitution does not explicitly enshrine the Right to Truth, this research argues that such a right can be derived from core constitutional principles, particularly the Rule of Law and Popular Sovereignty, through a progressive interpretation grounded in the Living Constitution doctrine. Employing a normative juridical method combined with conceptual, comparative, and case law approaches, this study demonstrates that constitutional rights are not limited to textual enumeration but may evolve in response to contemporary democratic needs. The findings reveal that the Right to Truth functions as a foundational prerequisite for ensuring transparency, accountability, and the effective exercise of popular sovereignty, particularly in historical, legislative, and administrative contexts. The novelty of this research lies in repositioning the Right to Truth from an international human rights norm into a constitutional doctrine capable of serving as a direct source of law within domestic governance. This study contributes both theoretically, by developing a framework for recognizing unenumerated constitutional rights in Indonesia, and practically, by providing a doctrinal basis for the Constitutional Court and policymakers to institutionalize the Right to Truth as a justiciable constitutional guarantee, thereby strengthening democratic integrity and constitutional protection for citizens.]]>
