Abstract

General Background: Regional elections play a crucial role in democratic governance, ensuring public participation in leadership selection. However, fair electoral competition is often challenged by the undue advantage of incumbent candidates. Specific Background: Indonesia’s Law No. 10 of 2016 permits incumbent regional heads to take a leave of absence during elections rather than resigning, raising concerns about potential abuse of power. Knowledge Gap: While existing studies discuss election regulations, limited research has specifically examined the urgency of mandatory resignation for incumbents seeking re-election. Aims: This study evaluates the fairness of incumbent candidacy requirements and proposes legal reforms to prevent electoral manipulation. Results: The analysis reveals that the leave requirement is insufficient to prevent conflicts of interest, as incumbents retain influence over state resources, policies, and personnel. Comparative legal frameworks from other countries suggest that a resignation mandate can enhance electoral integrity. Novelty: This research uniquely emphasizes the necessity of reconstructing candidacy rules to include mandatory resignation, drawing on constitutional principles of fairness and equality. Implications: The findings advocate for legislative amendments to establish a resignation requirement for incumbents, thereby strengthening democratic processes and ensuring a more equitable electoral system. Highlights: Incumbent Advantage: Allowing leave instead of resignation enables unfair use of state resources. Legal Reform Needed: Mandatory resignation ensures equal competition in elections. Democratic Integrity: Strengthening regulations prevents power abuse and promotes fairness. Keywords: Regional Head, Elections, Incumbent Candidacy, Reconstruction

Abstract

Emergency laws are often enacted by the President to address urgent situations and safeguard public welfare. Still, it risks fundamental rights and the rule of law without proper scrutiny.  This research is addressed to analyse the tendency of judicial independence of the Constitutional Court in conducting a review over a Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu), especially based on Court Decision Number 138/PUU-VII/2009. This article is important because it addresses the critical issue of judicial independence in the context of emergency laws, which can have significant implications for fundamental rights and the rule of law. This research is a doctrinal research  with focus on analyzing constitutional and statutory provisions, legal principles, case law and also comparative approach. Subsequently, data collection techniques were employed utilizing a document study, then analyze qualitatively. The findings of this research is that the enactment of emergency law turns into a double challenge for judges to decide the case, particularly when the judges are appointed by the President. Moreover, judicial review on emergency law shows the more tension between executive power and judicial oversight compared to  judicial review of legislation. This helps deepen the understanding of how courts balance constitutional principles during emergencies and provides valuable insights for other jurisdictions facing similar challenges.

Abstract

This study analyzes the normative conflicts surrounding the regulation of land rights duration in Indonesia’s Capital City and the legal implications of the land rights cycle in its development. The research focuses on the implementation of Presidential Regulation Number 75 of 2024 and Government Regulation Number 29 of 2024, which amends Government Regulation Number 12 of 2023. Employing a normative method, the study reveals that inconsistencies arise between the general principles of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) and the more specific provisions applicable to the Capital City. The newly introduced government regulation substantially extends the durations for the Right to Cultivate (HGU), Right to Build (HGB), and Right to Use, departing from UUPA’s more restrictive agrarian policies. This discrepancy creates legal uncertainty for investors and land users, underlining the urgent need for regulatory harmonization to maintain legal coherence and stability. Moreover, the policy allowing land control for up to two cycles may lead to monopolization and exacerbate social inequality due to the prolonged periods of HGU and HGB. The regulation also broadens foreign investor access to land in the Capital City, potentially clashing with UUPA’s principles of social justice and national sovereignty. To safeguard public interest, prevent legal ambiguity, and ensure equitable land governance, it is essential to align these new regulations with the foundational values of the UUPA. The government must provide a clear and accurate interpretation of these provisions and enforce limitations on land ownership by individuals and legal entities to prevent misuse and protect national interests.

Abstract

Indonesia menganut sistem negara kesatuan yang memberikan kewenangan otonomi kepada pemerintah daerah, salah satunya membentuk peraturan daerah, dengan tetap menjaga keselarasan dengan aturan pada pemerintah pusat. Dalam pembentukan peraturan daerah provinsi, terdapat dua mekanisme pengawasan secara preventif yaitu mekanisme harmonisasi oleh Kementerian Hukum dan mekanisme fasilitasi oleh Kementerian Dalam Negeri. Namun dalam praktiknya, sering terjadi perbedaan hasil antara proses harmonisasi dan fasilitasi yang dilakukan oleh institusi yang berbeda dan pada waktu yang tidak bersamaan, sehingga berpotensi menciptakan ketidakpastian hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kedudukan dan implikasi hukum dari hasil harmonisasi yang dilakukan oleh Kementerian Hukum terhadap proses pembentukan peraturan daerah provinsi. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus, dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa hasil dari harmonisasi Kementerian Hukum bersifat rekomendatif dan tidak mengikat, yang berdampak pada inefisiensi proses pembentukan peraturan daerah provinsi dan menghambat percepatan pembangunan di daerah.

Abstract

Pelanggaran terhadap Pedoman Kode Etik oleh Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN) merupakan isu serius yang berpotensi merugikan negara dan masyarakat. ASN yang bertindak sebagai whistleblower memainkan peran penting dalam menjaga transparansi dan integritas birokrasi. Namun, ketakutan terhadap ancaman pembalasan, pemecatan, atau intimidasi sering kali menghambat keberanian ASN untuk melaporkan pelanggaran tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai efektivitas perlindungan hukum bagi ASN yang melaporkan dugaan pelanggaran kode etik di lingkungan Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem perlindungan hukum yang ada belum sepenuhnya memberikan rasa aman bagi ASN whistleblower. Hambatan utama meliputi lemahnya implementasi peraturan, minimnya sosialisasi, dan kurangnya dukungan institusional. Sebagai penutup, penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan mekanisme perlindungan hukum bagi ASN whistleblower, termasuk peningkatan peran lembaga pengawas dan penyediaan jaminan non-diskriminatif bagi pelapor, khususnya di tingkat Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur.

Abstract

The Indonesian Constitutional Court is defined as a judicial body with specific competencies as stated in the 1945 Constitution. Given its significance and the heightened attention it receives from the public, the rulings of independent courts and impartial judges are vital for maintaining the reputation of the Indonesian judiciary and the public's confidence in its work. In addition to adjudicating cases, the Constitutional Court and its judges are involved in various non-judicial activities. This research article explores the reasons behind the Constitutional Court’s engagement in these activities, outlines the various types of non-judicial actions, and evaluates their effect on the court's reputation. The aim of this research is to establish a conceptual framework and assess the influence of non-judicial activities on judicial reputation by utilizing conceptual, statutory, and comparative frameworks, supported by empirical data from official documents.Top of Form The results show that the court participates in non-judicial activities to obtain benefits like increased popularity, public interest, visibility, preventing its decisions from being overturned by other judicial entities, and enhancing its reputation and influence. Often, these activities involve promoting the court's work to both local and international judicial communities to foster dialogue and connections with similar courts and stakeholders. Furthermore, non-judicial activities can influence public interest and engagement. While these initiatives benefit the institution, judges, and the public, they do not inherently improve the Constitutional Court's reputation, as its standing fundamentally relies on the quality of its decisions and its credible independence, impartiality, and integrity.

Abstract

Introduction: The stipulation of Decision Number 757/Pdt.G/2022/PN.Jkt.Pst raises many pros and cons, namely related to the decision to postpone the 2024 elections. Through the Decision, the Central Jakarta District Court decided and adjudicated the Unlawful Acts dispute filed by the Adil Makmur People's Party against the General Election Commission. The Central Jakarta District Court should not have the authority to adjudicate disputes filed by the Adil Makmur People's Party because it violates absolute competence. Purposes of the Research: The purpose of this study is to analyze the position of the Decision and its legal consequences on the people's sovereignty in the electoral system in Indonesia. Methods of the Research: The research methods used are normative legal research methods, with a conceptual approach, a statue approach and a case approach. Results Main Findings of the Research: The research found that (1) the General Election Commission was right to appeal, showing that the 2024 election must be in accordance with the constitution, and (2) the postponement of the election violates the sovereignty of the people, as the election system in Indonesia should be carried out every five (5) years, and does not recognize the term postponing the election.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Constitutional Court's consistency in reviewing the constitutionality of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) No. 2 of 2017 concerning Mass Organizations, which was later ratified as Law No. 16 of 2017. The study focuses on two main issues: first, whether the issuance of the Perppu meets the criteria of "compelling urgency" as defined in Decision No. 138/PUU-VII/2009; second, how the Court interprets multi-interpretable phrases such as "contrary to Pancasila" and "threatening national stability," for restricting the right to associate. The method used is normative legal research with a statute, case (ratio decidendi), and conceptual approaches, examining the principles of lex certa, due process, proportionality, and contrarius actus, strengthened by critical legal studies (CLS) to uncover the political legal dimensions behind the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence. The novelty of this research lies in its emphasis on the Constitutional Court's tendency to provide formal validation for the formation of Perppu but its absence in providing substantive interpretation of crucial clauses subject to multiple interpretations, combining legal-dogmatic analysis and CLS to assess the consistency of the Constitutional Court's decision on the Perppu on Mass Organizations, something that has not been done in previous studies which tend to discuss procedural or human rights aspects partially. The results indicate that the Court prioritizes political stability over human rights protection, thus creating a double standard in the application of the rule of law principler. In conclusion confirms although the Constitutional Court affirmed the constitutionality of the Perppu and the Mass Organizations Law, a passive attitude towards the multi-interpretable clauses opens up space for the normalization of restrictions on the right to associate outside the principles of legality, necessity, and proportionality as required by the ICCPR.
