Abstract

The placement of active members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) in civil service positions has resurfaced as a debated issue within Indonesia's post-reform constitutional dynamics. Normatively, Law Number 34 of 2004 concerns the Indonesian National Armed Forces limits the placement of active soldiers to specific ministries and agencies to maintain military professionalism and the principle of civilian supremacy. However, recent developments through Law Number 3 of 2025 regarding the Amendment to Law Number 34 of 2004 have expanded the scope of civil service positions accessible to active TNI personnel. Furthermore, practical implementation shows instances of active soldiers being placed in civil positions beyond the prevailing statutory provisions. This research aims to analyze the legal regulations regarding the placement of active TNI members in civil service positions and its implications for the principles of TNI professionalism and civilian supremacy in a democratic state. This study utilizes a normative legal research method with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a historical approach. The results indicate that while the regulations for placing active TNI personnel are clearly delineated in the TNI Law and related regulations, the practice of placing active soldiers outside these provisions creates potential conflicts of norms, undermines the principle of civilian supremacy, and threatens the professionalism of the military institution. Consequently, the enforcement of legal certainty and the strengthening of oversight mechanisms are essential to ensure that the placement of TNI personnel in civil positions remains aligned with the principles of the rule of law and democracy.

Abstract

This article examines how the Constitutional Court assesses and interprets money politics in dispute cases over regional head election results in Indonesia and what this court settlement means for electoral integrity. It addresses three dispute cases concerning vote-buying allegations in regional elections, corruption of voter choice, violations of constitutionally mandated electoral processes, and examines the effect of money politics on the legitimacy of revoting. As normative legal research, this article analyses how the Court formulates its legal reasoning, applies standards of proof, and evaluates the relationship between electoral violations and final results. It is learnt that the Court has developed a relatively consistent reasoning model. The Court initially determines whether sufficiently convincing facts support a finding of vote buying, examines whether the violation has tainted the purity of voter choice, and subsequently assesses whether the violation has had a significant effect on the election outcome. This article further demonstrates that money politics is no longer viewed merely as an electoral crime, but as a constitutional issue when it undermines democratic legitimacy and distorts the authenticity of electoral results. Unlike earlier studies that mainly discuss money politics in terms of its forms, causes, or general consequences for local democracy, this article frames jurisprudential consistency as the central analytical problem. It offers a more systematic account of how the Court connects proof, voter autonomy, and electoral impact. It argues that clearer more predictable standards are needed to strengthen legal certainty, improve the adjudication of election disputes, and reinforce protections for electoral integrity in Indonesia

Abstract

The Papuan People's Assembly (MPR) is a cultural representation institution established within the framework of Papua's special autonomy to protect the rights of indigenous Papuans and uphold customary, religious, and women's values in regional governance. This study aims to analyze the legal standing of the MRP, the implementation of its authority, and the challenges of strengthening its role in the Papuan government system. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and analytical approach. Legal materials were obtained through a literature review of relevant laws and regulations, scientific literature, and legal documents, then analyzed qualitatively through legal interpretation and juridical argumentation. The results of the study indicate that normatively, the MRP has a strategic position as a special institution that functions to provide consideration, approval, and protection for the rights of indigenous Papuans. However, in practice, the implementation of its authority has not been optimal due to its consultative nature, overlapping institutional relations, limited capacity, and the influence of politics and regional expansion policies. This study concludes that strengthening the role of the MRP requires regulatory refinement, increased institutional capacity, strengthened independence, and the establishment of more effective coordination so that the goals of special autonomy in Papua can be realized in a just and democratic manner.
