Abstract

The introduction of provision concerning budget allocation for education in the amended constitution is not a common method in constitutional drafting in Indonesia. This article aims to understanding the background of the inclusion of this provision and its judicial enforcement. It argues that the establishment of this provision closely related to the fact that education was not properly funded. As a result, the quality of education was negatively affected. The constitutionalisation of budget for education opens the possibility to allocate the national budget in this field in a more sustainable way. In addition, by constitutionalizing budget for education, there is a legal avenue available to challenge the government policy if the government fails to fulfill its constitutional obligation. The newly established Constitutional Court has the power to review whether the allocation of national budget for education is consistent with the Constitution. In some judicial review cases on budget for education, the Court took legal approach and also extralegal factors in its rulings.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the relationship between the Indonesian Constitutional Court, the legislature, and the executive in judicial review. It aims to explain the Court strategies in deciding judicial review cases related to the right to work in relation with the executive and the legislature. It appears that while constitutionally the Court is granted with a strong form of judicial review (as reflected in the finality of its decisions), it also employed other approaches in deciding cases related to the right to work. These approaches include the declaration of incompatibility, conditional decision, and the invalidation of a statute in its entirety. This paper argues that Katharine G. Young’s typology of judicial review is quite helpful as an interpretive tool to understand the Court approaches when it decided cases related the right to work. The use of various approaches by the Court affected the relationship between the Court, the executive, and the legislature. This is because the executive and the legislature are the implementing agencies of the Court rulings.

Abstract

This study aims to answer three important questions: first, how the 1945 Constitution regulate the authority of the Constitutional Court in resolving dispute on general election as stated in Article 22 E and the regional head election as stipulated in Article 18. Second, how the Constitutional Court, through its rulings, interpret its authority to settle dispute on general election and regional head election. Third, why, in different period, there is a tendency that the Court provide different interpretation regarding its authority to resolve dispute on general election and regional head election. To answer these three questions, this study utilizes doctrinal approach. It analyses the relevant laws and regulation and also the relevant Court rulings. This study concludes that (1) the 1945 Constitution expressly differentiate between regional head election and general election. However, (2) the Court provide different interpretation on determining the nature of regional head election specifically on whether such an election include in the category of general election or it is a distinct election. (3) There are two main factors that may explain why the Court provide different explanation regarding its power to settle dispute on the regional head election and general election.

Abstract

In Indonesia, women’s participation, particularly in parliament, has been intensively discussed in 2002. The extensive discussions continued in 2003 especially after the enactment of General Election Law. The enactment of this law is significant since it contained a provision regarding thirty percent quota for women, a provision which never appeared in the previous legislation. This provision is intended to increase the number of women in the legislature. This is based on the fact that in Indonesia the number of women is higher than that of men. The lack of women in parliament is perhaps one of the causes why issues about women rarely became a priority in government policy making. The significant number of women in parliament could be a way to articulate women’s interests in government policy making. This paper will specifically examine the implementation of ‘thirty percent quotas for women’ to increase the number of women in the Indonesian parliament. It argues that even though there is an effort to increase the number of women in parliament through electoral quotas, such an effort is not sufficient to increase the number of women in parliament. Electoral quotas may gain better result if it combines with the change of political culture and the change of government policy. In doing so, other actors such as political parties and the government should be involved. Political parties and the government should be more gender sensitive (women friendly) in policy making.

Abstract

Abstract Using the Preamble of the Indonesian Constitution namely the 1945 Constitution as a case study, this paper aims to answer an important question i.e. what are the functions of the Preamble? It argues that the functions of the 1945 Constitutional Preamble vary from time to time. In the Old Order and the New Order governments, the Preamble enjoyed its highest status but it somehow lacked of legal binding. In recent years, particularly after the recent constitutional amendments, the status of the Preamble arguably shifted from lacked of legal binding to have legal binding status. This shift is primarily because of the recent constitutional amendments. Intisari Dengan menggunakan Pembukaan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 sebagai studi kasus, artikel ini bermaksud menjawab sebuah pertanyaan penting yaitu apa fungsi sebuah pembukaan? Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa fungsi dari Pembukaan UUD 1945 berbeda dari waktu ke waktu. Pada masa Orde Lama dan Orde Baru, Pembukaan mendapatkan tempat tertinggi. Namun pada saat yang sama ia tidak sepenuhnya mempunyai kekuatan mengikat secara hukum. Sejak perubahan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 pada tahun 1999-2002, status Pembukaan berubah dari yang sebelumnya tidak sepenuhnya mempunyai daya ikat menjadi mempunyai kekuatan mengikat secara hukum. Hal ini sebagai konsekuensi dari perubahan Undang-Undang Dasar.

Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to answer a question i.e. what are the implications on authority to determine geographical names after the dismissal of National Team on Standardization of Geographical Names. This study uses doctrinal approach. It analyses the relevant legislation to understand the authority of the BIG and the MOHA in determining geographical names. It concludes that there are two regulations which determine the authority to standardize geographical names which implicate the overlapping authorities between the BIG and the MOHA. The authority of the MOHA is originally from Law 32/2004. While the BIG obtains its power from Presidential Regulation 116/2016. This study suggests that it’s necessary to enact a Governmental Regulation to sincronize these two regulations to minimize overlapping authorities between these two institutions. IntisariPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab pertayaan bagaimana implikasi kewenangan pembakuan nama rupabumi pasca dibubarkanya tim nasional pembakuan nama rupabumi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan doktrinal dengan menganalisis berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan yang relevan, terkait kewenangan Kemendagri dan BIG untuk melakukan pembakuan nama rupabumi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat dua regulasi yang menentukan kewenangan untuk melakukan standarisasi nama rupabumi antara Kemendagri dan BIG. Otoritas Kemendagri berasal dari UU 32/2004 sedangkan BIG memperoleh kewenangan dari Perpres 116/2016. Studi ini menyarankan perlu ditetapkan Peraturan Pemerintah untuk menyelaraskan kedua peraturan pelaksanaan tersebut sehingga kewenangan tersebut dapat diselaraskan.

Abstract

Abstract The idea of a parliament system continues to develop from time to time. There are many thoughts of constitutional law experts which later became the theoretical basis for the implementation of the parliament system in a country, including in Indonesia. Furthermore, the existence of representative institutions such as the MPR, DPR, and DPD based on the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, also become an academic discourse concerning what kind of parliament system used in Indonesian parliament. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the existing theories on the parliament system and how it implemented, especially in Indonesia. Based on the background above, this research aims to find out and understand the theories and experts thought on parliament, as well as to find out and understand the implementation of parliament system in Indonesia, viewed from the historical-judicial approach. Conceptually, the theories concerning parliament can be traced since the time of Ancient Greece. Moreover, several theories regarding parliament developed, such as accommodation of group interests in the parliament, and theory on division of parliament chambers. Regarding the implementation of parliament system in Indonesia, historically and judicially, it has its own dynamics, especially in the context of accommodation of group interests and the practice of parliament chambers’ division. For instance, in the early independence period and after the stipulation of 1959 Presidential Decree, the system reflected was unicameral, while during the 1949 Constitution of RIS period was bicameral system. Furthermore, after the amendment of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia, there is also a discourse concerning the form of parliament division that applied, whether it was unicameral, bicameral, or tricameral. Intisari Ide mengenai Parlemen, cabang pemerintahan yang berkuasa membuat dan mengubah undang-undang, telah menjadi topik perdebatan bagi para sarjana sejak zaman dulu kala. Artikel ini bermaksud untuk menceritakan secara singkat tentang perkembangan konsep lembaga legislatif dan menjelaskan dinamikaperkembangan sistem parlemen di Indonesia dalam hukum konstitusi dari sudut pandang historis. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa Parlemen adalah institusi yang terus berkembang, dengan sistem bikameralisme yang tampaknya lebih cocok dengan sistem demokrasi perwakilan. Meskipun telah mempraktikkan sistem parlemen yang berbeda-beda dalam sejarahnya, sejak masa reformasi Indonesia lebih cenderung menganut sistem bikameralisme lunak.

Abstract

One of the duties of the Indonesian Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi - MK) is to determine whether legislation is consistent with the Constitution. If the MK determines that a statute is inconsistent with the Constitution, it declares that such statute is invalid. In such instance, the MK has the final word to determine the validity of legislation. In the view of some scholars, this feature reflects that the MK adopts strong form of judicial review. While this assertion holds true in some cases, it does not necessarily reflect the complete feature of the MK’s approach in deciding cases. In some economic and social rights cases, the MK decision adopts weak form of judicial review. This paper attempts to explain that while constitutionally the MK adopts strong form of judicial review, in some economic and social rights cases it adopts weak form of judicial review.
