Abstract

The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the imperative need for the establishment of a dedicated judicial body to address electoral disputes in Indonesia, particularly in light of the imminent concurrent elections scheduled for 2024 and the limited jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court in adjudicating such matters. This study employs normative legal research methodologies, incorporating legislative analysis, scrutiny of judicial precedents, and a comparative law framework as its principal approach. Uruguay serves as a pertinent comparative reference within the contextual parameters of this inquiry. The research findings unequivocally indicate the indispensability of instituting a specialized court for regional head elections, as mandated by Constitutional Court Decision Number 97/PUU-XI/2013. This imperative is substantiated by a series of legal arguments, namely: (a) the constrictive nature of the law's mandate, (b) the Constitutional Court's role as a constitutional enforcement institution rather than a court of justice, (c) the absence of an appellate process, contravening fundamental principles inherent to the electoral law system, (d) the quantitative approach to dispute resolution, impeding the attainment of justice, and (e) the presence of a distinct judicial system, engendering uncertainty and impeding the realization of justice, certainty, and expediency within the election legal framework. The establishment of specialized courts for regional head elections in Indonesia is analogous to the implementation of analogous courts in Uruguay and Costa Rica. In both jurisdictions, specialized election courts function as distinct entities, operating autonomously from the conventional judicial powers vested in the Supreme Court or the Constitutional Court.

Abstract

Discretion is used by state administrators (executives) to resolve complex government situations while still paying attention to the public interest. The practice of discretion still causes problems and debates. This research seeks to examine issues in discretionary authority and its testing. This research is normative juridical research using primary and secondary legal materials. The research approach was carried out using a statutory and conceptual approach. An analysis of the regulations and practices of discretionary testing at SAC was also added to complete the arguments that will be compared between Indonesia and the Netherlands. The findings of this research show that regulations in Indonesia contain provisions governing the limits and scope of discretion as a reference for the government in issuing discretion, as well as instructions for testing discretion at the State Administrative Court. The authority to use discretion, which has encountered problems that have arisen, includes aspects of the meaning of discretion, which also include factual actions, aspects of the regulation of discretion which are carried out in detail in the law, procedural aspects in the use of discretion which require prior permission, and aspects of the possibility of rejection of discretion by superior officials. Regarding the comparison of discretionary tests in the SAC, in Indonesia, the discretionary test is not substantially regarding discretion but instead is on the abuse of authority in exercising discretion concerning the terms and objectives of the discretion and conformity with the AUPB. Meanwhile, the SAC carries out a 'reasonableness test'—limited to whether administrative powers have been exercised fairly. Therefore, the conditions for restricting the use of discretion must be carried out strictly and need to be based on the AUPB so that discretion is issued that is not arbitrary in the public interest because discretionary authority cannot be tested in the SAC.

Abstract

Judicial review of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower is carried out to the Constitutional Court (MK), one of the reasons is the implementation of Article 155 paragraph (2) has the potential to create legal uncertainty, because there are multiple interpretations related to the term "not yet determined". Constitutional Court Decision No. 37/PUU-IX/2011 granted the petitioners' request, and stated that the phrase "not yet determined" is interpreted as "not yet legally binding" as a result, the wages for the process during the suspension period must be paid until the decision is final and binding. As a follow-up to the Constitutional Court's decision, the Supreme Court (MA) issued a Supreme Court Circular (SEMA) Number 3 of 2015 and one of its contents is that employers pay processing fees for 6 (six) months. This has caused controversy because the content is different from the Constitutional Court's decision. Based on the research, the results show that the Supreme Court does have the authority to issue SEMA but it should only be for the internal judiciary and its contents are not regulatory. If it is regulatory, it should be in the form of PERMA. SEMA is not included in the scope of the Legislation as regulated in Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Establishment of Legislation. Regarding the norm of processing wages after the Constitutional Court's Decision Number 37/PUU-IX/2011, the Supreme Court should not need to issue SEMA Number 3 of 2015 regarding processing wages paid for 6 (six) months. The Supreme Court may also not reinterpret the process wages contained in Article 155 paragraph (2) of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower which has been decided by the Court until it has permanent legal force. Because the position of the Constitutional Court's decision is equal to the law.

Abstract

Regional Regulations (Perda) are statutes enacted by the Regional Head and DPRD that govern the welfare and utility aspects of the region. The Regional Spatial Planning (RTRW) rule is a crucial local ordinance that governs land allocation according to specified functions throughout various regions. The formulation of a Provincial Spatial Planning Regulation is significantly more intricate than other rules, necessitating the consideration and integration of diverse interests and the participation of several institutions, as demonstrated in the development of the Riau Provincial Spatial Planning Regulation. Following an extensive process, the Governor of Riau promulgated Regional Regulation (Perda) No. 10/2018 concerning the Regional Spatial Plan of Riau Province, with the subsequent particulars: 1. Area under cultivation measures 8,067,344 hectares. The protected region encompasses 945,532 hectares of a total expanse of 9,012,876 hectares. Despite the Regional Regulation concerning the Regional Spatial Plan and establishing the Regional Regulation on the Regional Spatial Plan of Riau Province, some concerns persist, specifically the clearance of land allocated for oil palm plantations within forested regions or for reforestation initiatives. This is difficult as it necessitates the deforestation of hundreds of thousands of hectares of oil palm plantations. Consequently, if executed meticulously, this will safeguard the ecosystem, particularly in the lack of legislation governing the restoration of land formerly converted to oil palm farms. The Government should promptly establish an implementing regulation as the legal foundation for oversight, preferably in the form of a presidential regulation

Abstract

The election of regional heads and deputy regional heads is one of the things that has sparked attention lately, because the 2024 general elections will soon be held even though the implementation does not coincide with the election of the President and Vice President and the election of legislative members. Nevertheless, there are still many people who compare the election of regional heads and deputy regional heads directly or indirectly considering that the performance results of the regional heads and deputy regional heads have not seen the expected results. In fact, both direct and indirect elections have their own advantages and disadvantages so there is no need to debate because basically both elections are democratic elections

Abstract

Government Regulation Number 37 of 2021 on the Implementation of the Job Loss Guarantee Program provides adequate legal protection for workers who lose their jobs, in addition to providing a sense of social security to former workers. It is also in accordance with the mandate of Article 28D of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which shows that the state is present in providing legal protection related to severance pay through the job loss guarantee so that workers affected by the termination of employment are still protected for a certain period while they search for new jobs. Because job loss insurance is very important, especially during the pandemic, it is a very good social security measure in Indonesia. Job loss insurance must be implemented properly and continuously monitored to ensure its objectives are achieved without causing problems in the future, and it needs to be socialized to employers and workers. Government Regulation Number 37 of 2021 on the Implementation of the Job Loss Guarantee Program is the government's effort to improve the welfare of the people, especially workers in Indonesia, with the aim of achieving social welfare. The job loss guarantee scheme can help former employees find new jobs more quickly and prevent them from losing the desire to seek new employment.

Abstract

Pemberdayaan masyarakat adalah sebuah proses yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan kemampuan individu dan masyarakat dalam mengelola sumber daya secara mandiri dan berkelanjutan. Kabupaten Kepulauan Meranti, yang terletak di Provinsi Riau, memiliki potensi ekonomi maritim yang cukup besar, terutama dalam industri perikanan. Desa Mekong, yang terletak di wilayah ini, telah menunjukkan berbagai kemajuan dalam keamanan pangan dan meraih kesuksesan dalam kompetisi desa pangan aman tingkat nasional. Nelayan di Desa Mekong menghadapi berbagai masalah, termasuk harga bahan bakar yang tidak stabil, meningkatnya biaya operasional kapal, dan kondisi cuaca buruk yang membatasi aktivitas penangkapan ikan. Selain itu, operasi penambangan timah mengubah habitat perairan, sehingga berdampak pada hasil tangkapan nelayan. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini berupaya memberdayakan masyarakat dengan memberikan dukungan kepada kelompok nelayan di Desa Mekong melalui penyediaan jarring udang. Program ini bertujuan untuk meringankan beban ekonomi para nelayan dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan mereka dengan memfasilitasi akses ke metode produksi yang lebih efisien. Intervensi ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan daya saing, meningkatkan ketahanan ekonomi, dan membangun paradigma pemberdayaan yang berkelanjutan di sektor perikanan di Kabupaten Kepulauan Meranti.

Abstract

The 2024 simultaneous elections mark a significant milestone as they combine the selection of the President, Vice President, Legislative Members, and Regional Heads for enhanced effectiveness and efficiency. However, this innovative approach also presents a host of challenges. This article employs a normative legal research methodology, utilizing both statutory and conceptual frameworks. Data collection involved a comprehensive literature review of relevant laws and regulations pertaining to elections. The findings of this study reveal that the democratic process of simultaneous elections is far from flawless. Instances of power abuse by the DPR and prevalent money politics practices continue to persist. Such misconduct occurs among participants, organizers, and voters, ultimately undermining the intended goals of enhancing democracy and upholding human rights values through the implementation of simultaneous elections.

Abstract

Constitutionally, the concept of a state's right to control forests and forest areas is public and exercised through administrative permits, but it is often misunderstood as an absolute right, which can lead to mismanagement and ecological damage. This research aims to describe the concept of state attributive control over forests and forest areas through standardized permitting instruments. This type of research is normative, employing a statutory approach to analyze the basic concept of the state's right to control, that outlined in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and relevant Indonesian regulations. This research shows, first, that the error in distinguishing between the concepts of rights and permits in forest control reflects the misconception that state authority is absolute, whereas it is attributed to the public interest. Second, it's important to understand that permits are a way for the government to control forests, which is done through permits for using forest products, area use permits, and environmental services, as explained in the Forestry Law, the Omnibus Law, and other related regulations. With this concept, forest utilization permits are not merely administrative instruments, but rather social and ecological contracts that involve violations of environmental

Abstract

In accordance with the Constitutional Court's decision Number 97/PUU-XI/2013, the Constitutional Court is no longer empowered to adjudicate disputes regarding regional election results, as Article 236 C of Law Number 12 of 2008 is deemed inconsistent with the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. In response to the Constitutional Court's ruling, Law Number 8 of 2015 was enacted, which designates a specialised judicial body as the authority for resolving disputes about regional head election results in Article 157. The objective of this study was to determine whether a state institution is suitable for adjudicating disputes regarding the outcomes of regional head elections in the future. This study employed a normative legal research methodology, utilising secondary sources and analysing them through qualitative descriptive techniques. The findings of this analysis indicate that the creation of a specialised judicial entity to adjudicate election result disputes is the optimal resolution to the legal issues that arise. To avoid generating additional issues with the establishment of new state organisations and to enhance efficiency, the body responsible for adjudicating disputes about regional head election outcomes would henceforth be Bawaslu. The present Bawaslu has evolved into an entity tasked with a specific judicial duty, namely adjudicating complaints about regional election results as stipulated in Article 157 of Law Number 10 of 2016 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents, and Mayors
