Abstract

The crucial aspect of studying Indonesian constitutional law that is often overlooked is the dialectic between revelation (religion) and the constitution (state). This interplay significantly influences the foundational thinking of the nation’s architects and shapes constitutional law, as well as critical perspectives on colonialism. This study aims to examine the political-legal thought of Muhammad Yamin by revealing how the interaction between revelation and constitution shaped his ideas regarding the basis and sovereignty of the Indonesian state. Utilizing a textual analysis of historical documents, this research situates Yamin’s thought within the broader context of constitutional formulation as part of an intellectual resistance against colonial hegemony. The findings reveal that Yamin’s concept of sovereignty fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), which is grounded in the Islamic principle of shūrā (deliberation), represents a sociopolitical ijtihād (independent reasoning) that systematically critiques the Netherlands-Indonesia Union. Furthermore, it clearly articulates his idea of a “pembanding” or comparator, a conceptual precursor to judicial review. Theoretically, this study expands the scope of sociopolitical fiqh within contemporary constitutional discourse. [Aspek krusial dalam kajian hukum ketatanegaraan Indonesia yang sering diabaikan adalah dialektika antara wahyu (agama) dan konstitusi (negara). Interaksi ini memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap dasar pemikiran para perumus bangsa dalam membentuk hukum konstitusi, serta memberikan perspektif kritis terhadap kolonialisme. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pemikiran politik-hukum Muhammad Yamin dengan mengungkap bagaimana interaksi antara wahyu dan konstitusi mengonstruksi gagasannya mengenai dasar dan kedaulatan negara Indonesia. Melalui analisis tekstual terhadap dokumen-dokumen historis, penelitian ini menempatkan pemikiran Yamin dalam konteks yang lebih luas dari proses perumusan konstitusi sebagai bagian dari perlawanan intelektual terhadap hegemoni kolonial. Temuan ini mengungkap bahwa konsep fikih kedaulatan Yamin, yang berakar pada prinsip syūrā dalam Islam, merupakan suatu ijtihad sosio-politik yang secara sistematis mengkritik Uni Indonesia-Belanda. Selain itu, konsep tersebut secara jelas mengartikulasikan gagasannya tentang “pembanding”, yang merupakan cikal bakal konseptual dari uji materiil (judicial review). Secara teoretis, studi ini memperluas cakupan fikih sosio-politik dalam wacana ketatanegaraan kontemporer.]

Abstract

The principle of legal fiction is widely recognized for its role in legitimizing laws and ensuring legal certainty. However, while it contributes to the stability and predictability of legal applications, it also has inherent weaknesses that may lead to unjust outcomes, particularly for vulnerable groups who are unaware of the law. In the context of Indonesia’s vast territory, the lack of widespread socialization and public awareness of new legal regulations exacerbates these issues. Consequently, individuals, especially from lower socioeconomic classes, may become inadvertently entangled in legal processes due to their ignorance of applicable laws, leading to potential injustices. The principle of legal fiction, therefore, may inadvertently serve as a tool of oppression, particularly when used to position suspects as defendants without adequate awareness or understanding of their legal rights. This paper argues for a re-evaluation and improvement of the principle to ensure a more just and transparent application. A more nuanced approach is needed, distinguishing between its absolute application in criminal cases and its non-absolute use in regulatory offenses. By refining the concept of legal fiction, we can enhance both its legitimacy and its capacity to uphold justice for all members of society.

Abstract

As the holder of power in the administration of government based on the constitution, the president has set a new policy, namely regarding the mechanism for granting presidential approval to draft regulations of ministers or heads of institutions. With the birth of this arrangement, every policy of ministers or heads of institutions with certain criteria must obtain presidential approval before being determined. The mechanism carried out after harmonization has indirectly obscured the stage of forming laws and regulations that are prevalent today. With juridical normative research methods that use statutory, conceptual, and historical approaches, it was found that the arrangement for granting presidential approval actually brought back classic problems. The arrangement is harmonized with other regulations. There is vagueness in sentence formulation, use of words, terms, or phrases, which causes multiple interpretations. The arrangement also comes out of the national policy framework related to simplifying regulations promoted by the president himself. In its formation, there is also the possibility of the influence of bureaucratic political practices or competition among state administrative work units in finding alternative solutions to problems that arise in society.

Abstract

The interim president anticipates the vacancy of the office of president and vice president; Indonesia calls it ‘pelaksana tugas kepresidenan’, which is filled by the minister of home affairs, foreign affairs, and minister of defense. This article explores the two actors (bureaucrats and legitimacy) who become interim presidents in the constitutions of the world's countries. Next, the Indonesian arrangement and accompanying problems in the 1945 Constitution will be reviewed. This article is aided by a doctrinal research method with historical, legislative, and comparative constitutional approaches. Indonesia has its peculiarities compared to the constitutions of world countries because it applies a compound position as interim President adopted from the New Order legal products (Tap MPR VII/1973) without going through a decontextualisation process, so it still applies the old features (bureaucratic actors) with compound/collegial executive positions in the new constitutional structure that seeks to purify the presidential system. In addition, there are conditions that the 1945 Constitution still cannot resolve and that cause paralysis of governance. This article offers one solution—which could alleviate two specific problems simultaneously—and that is to make the Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR) the acting President of the future.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the legal validity of Negative and Positive Fictitious Decisions from the perspective of state administrative law. This study uses normative legal research methods by analyzing variety of literature. The research methods is based on legislationand uses secondary data consistin primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, presented in a wualitative descriptive manner. The findings indicate that the authority of the PTUN to Adjudging disputes of positive fictitious disputes has been removed in the provisions of Article 175 of the Job Creation Law and the provisions for derogation (revocation) of the provisions of Article 3 of the Peratun Law are not regulated in the State Administration Law and the Job Creation Law, so the principle of preference lex posteriori derogat lex priori is no longer appropriate to use. Additionally, the PTUN authority standards that attempt both positive and negative fake disagreements are no longer in conflict. Since the PTUN still has the authority to attempt Negative Fictitious, Positive Fictitious essentially has the executive's complete authority. Therefore, one example of a legal safeguard for citizens against false judgments made by government officials is the requirements of Article 3 of the Peratun Law.

Abstract

This normative juridical research, utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches, aims to explore future policy models for the legal protection of children within the juvenile criminal justice system in Indonesia. Acknowledging various challenges in the current system, the study emphasizes the necessity of reforming policies to ensure legal certainty and justice for minors in conflict with the law. The proposed model advocates for a 'pure decriminalization' approach, which involves removing the punishable nature of certain criminal elements committed by juvenile legal subjects. This model is complemented by a protection policy that underscores preventative measures to decrease the involvement of children in the criminal justice system. A significant emphasis is placed on integrating technology into the system to enhance efficiency and security, thereby safeguarding children's rights more effectively. Additionally, the research highlights the need for increased inter-agency and cross-sectoral cooperation within the legal structure (police, prosecutors, and courts) to create a more coordinated and holistic approach in addressing juvenile justice issues. The findings suggest that these strategic efforts can contribute significantly to the improvement of procedural law applications for children, ensuring their human rights are not violated in future legal encounters.Highlights: Pure Decriminalization Model: Emphasizes removing the punitive aspects for certain juvenile offenses, focusing on rehabilitation over punishment. Technological Advancements: Integration of technology in the juvenile justice system to enhance efficiency, security, and protection of children's rights. Enhanced Inter-agency Collaboration: Advocates for improved cooperation between legal entities for a holistic and coordinated approach to juvenile justice issues. Keywords: Juvenile Justice, Decriminalization, Legal Protection, Technology Integration, Inter-agency Cooperation

Abstract

This research explores the principle of "Res Judicata Pro Varitate Habetur," a legal doctrine asserting that a judicial decision with legal authority must be considered correct and binding. Focusing on its application in the decisions of the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA) of Indonesia, the study emphasizes the authority and differences in the finality of their rulings. It proposes a conceptual update to "Res Judicata Pro Varitate Habetur" aimed at enhancing public access to legal truth, considering the need to balance legal certainty with judicial system improvements. The research employs a Juridical-Normative method, incorporating conceptual, juridical, and case study approaches. The conceptual approach underscores the importance of understanding legal concepts as a preliminary step in analyzing legal norms. This approach involves the analysis of legal texts, the objectives of the law, and the relevant legal system. The juridical approach involves understanding and analyzing law by referring to the applicable written norms, while the case study approach involves analyzing court decisions or relevant legal cases. The findings highlight the role of this principle in maintaining legal certainty, and suggest that its conceptual update could enhance public access to legal truth and contribute to legal thought on future judicial system reform. Highlights: Conceptual Reevaluation: The study emphasizes rethinking the 'Res Judicata Pro Varitate Habetur' principle to better balance legal certainty and judicial fairness in Indonesia. Methodological Approach: Employing a Juridical-Normative method, the research integrates conceptual analysis, legal norms study, and case examination for comprehensive insights. Implications for Judicial Reform: Findings suggest potential improvements in public access to justice and contribute to broader discussions on reforming the Indonesian judicial system. Keywords: Res Judicata Pro Varitate Habetur, Indonesian Judiciary, Legal Certainty, Judicial Reform, Public Access to Justice

Abstract

Introduction to The Problem: Delegated legislation in Indonesia is a new type of legislation that should be interpreted and ruled carefully. However, nowadays, the Indonesian legal system has no fixed term for delegated legislation and no hierarchy on it. Furthermore, as many as 57.677regulations at the level of Ministries, Agencies and State Institutions have the potential to overlap regulations and become subject to judicial review in the Supreme CourtPurpose/Objective Study: This article aims to analyze the best term and hierarchy of delegated legislation in the legal system in Indonesia.Design/Methodology/Approach: This legal research conducted normative studies, by examining previous studies on delegated legislation and Electronic and Information Transaction (EIT) law to imagine the delegated legislation type and hierarchy. The data was analyzed by a prescriptive method to give a new idea regarding delegated legislation in Indonesia's legal system.Findings: This paper finds no fixed term for delegated legislation in the Indonesian legal system. There is a loophole in the Indonesian legal system related to delegated legislation. However, some scholars argue that delegated legislation in Indonesia can be found in Government Regulation, Presidential Regulation, Local Regulation and beleidsregel in Article 8 Paragraph (1) Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning Establishing Statutory Regulation and its amendment. As a suggestion, the amendment of the Law on Establishing Statutory Regulation is a must in carrying delegated legislation definition, purpose and hierarchy.Paper Type: Research Article
