Abstract

The Constitutional Court of Indonesia plays significant role in securing democracy in Indonesia. In exercising their authorities, including the election result dispute and judicial review, the Court continues to affirm institutional judicial legitimacy and pursue their role to guard 1945 Constitution. The first Chief Justice Jimly Asshiddiqie showed how within five years of the Court’s establishment, he could strategically maximize its momentum and build the Court as a respectful institution. The Chief Justice Mahfud M D was then elected to reduce the judicial activism started by Jimly’s bench. However, against promises and expectations, Mahfud M D brought the Court to a level far beyond the imagination of the Constitution drafters. Parliament and President tried to limit the Court’s authority, not ones, and the Court was able to overcome those constrain. Current various available studies observed only how the Court issued their decisions and solely focus to the impact of the decisions. Scholars slightly ignore other constitutional actors in studying about the Court. In fact, political environment where the Court operated is one of the most important aspects which strengthen the Court’s institutional legitimacy. This paper attempts to discover the rise of the Court from political environment view outside the court. Political parties’ maturity and political constraint are the key factors that support the development of the Court’s institutional power.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and risks of the Free Nutritious Food policy implementation in Indonesia and the Netherlands. In addition, the researcher also compares the findings with the experiences of a number of developed countries that have previously implemented similar policies, in order to assess the extent to which this policy can be adapted in Indonesia. The approach used in this research is normative legal research, which examines legislation, policy documents, and relevant academic literature as the basis for preparing legal arguments related to the feasibility and impact of the program. The focus of the analysis lies on the compatibility of the free lunch policy with the national legal framework, including the identification of the need for regulatory reform if necessary. Through this comparative study, the research also highlights institutional readiness and public support as crucial factors in ensuring the sustainability of the program. The results are expected to provide policy recommendations that are not only socially and economically contextualized, but also aligned with Indonesia's legal system and support the national development agenda.

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia's role in responding to the Gaza conflict, a complex international issue with historical, political, legal, and humanitarian dimensions. The Gaza conflict is one of the most complex international issues because it encompasses these same dimensions. For Indonesia, this issue is viewed not only as a matter of foreign policy, but also as the implementation of the constitutional mandate of the nation's founders, as stated in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution. The first paragraph affirms rejection of all forms of colonialism, and the fourth emphasizes the nation's obligation to contribute to a world order based on independence, peace, and justice. Based on these principles, Indonesia supports Palestine through political diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and international legal advocacy. However, implementing these measures faces significant obstacles, including the Israeli military blockade, internal political fragmentation in Palestine, and the use of veto power in the UN Security Council by the five permanent member states. This study uses a juridical-normative legal approach to systematically evaluate Indonesia's actions based on international legal frameworks and norms. This allows us to understand Indonesia's consistency in providing assistance to Gaza as the implementation of the anti-colonial principle, as well as a moral contribution and constitutional mandate for world peace.
