Abstract

The Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 Concerning the Age Limit for Vice Presidential Candidates in the 2024 Presidential Election has caused much controversy, both politically and legally. This decision has profound implications for Indonesia’ political configuration, as it grants constitutional legitimacy to Gibran Rakabuming Raka, enabling him to run as a candidate for vice president of the Republic of Indonesia in the 2024 General Election. In the context of the legal debate, several problems have emerged, including the impact of this decision on the quality of democracy in Indonesia. One key concern is whether this decision is the initial gateway for Indonesia to enter a system called 'juristocracy'. This term refers to a situation where the Constitutional Court Decision justifies the practice of 'negative legislation', where the legislative function is constitutionally only given to the President and the DPR, but the Constitutional Court, through its 'final and binding' decision power, makes this a loophole that potentially damage democracy. This research is focused on examining the decision based on the two fundamental problems outlined above, using a library research method based on normative research, with a conceptual approach as its foundation. The analysis employs the theory of the rule of law to critically assess whether the decision has significant positive or negative implications for the sustainability of democracy and the existence of the rule of law in Indonesia in the future.

Abstract

The agrarian conflict in Moro-Moro Register 45, Mesuji Regency, Lampung, has significantly impacted the local community, particularly in restricting children's access to education. The enforcement of Law No. 18 of 2013 on the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction and Law No. 30 of 2014 on Government Administration has further complicated the situation by limiting the community's rights to manage and utilize natural resources, making it difficult for residents in forest areas to access adequate educational services. This research examines two key issues: the role of education as a tool of resistance for the Moro-Moro Register 45 community in defending their rights and the impact of agrarian conflict on their struggle for land access. Using a qualitative and socio-legal approach, this research integrates legal analysis with social inquiry, drawing on desk research, direct observations, and in-depth interviews with community members and stakeholders. The findings indicate that the politics of education is a crucial instrument for the Moro-Moro community in advocating for social change, particularly in addressing agrarian disputes and seeking social justice at the governmental level. Furthermore, agrarian conflicts often stem from systemic injustices in the distribution and management of natural resources, with land emerging as a central point of contention between the state, private enterprises, and local communities or small-scale farmers.
