Abstract

This study aims to analyse the strategic role of the Constitutional Court (MK) in the enforcement of human rights (HAM) in Indonesia. Using a literature review method and a normative legal approach, this study positions the MK as a key actor in the constitutional mechanism for protecting human rights. The MK's authority to review laws against the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia makes it an important instrument in upholding the principles of justice and equality before the law. Several MK rulings have demonstrated its commitment to human rights values, particularly through the invalidation of discriminatory legal norms and the strengthening of citizens' constitutional rights. However, the MK's vital role still faces challenges, especially in the implementation of rulings, which are often not optimally responded to by executive and legislative institutions. This indicates a gap between the judicial and political spheres in efforts to comprehensively enforce human rights. Thus, this study affirms that the Constitutional Court not only acts as the last bastion of human rights protection, but also as a driving force for national legal reform to be more responsive to human rights values and principles. Going forward, synergy between state institutions is key to strengthening the effectiveness of the Constitutional Court in guaranteeing respect for and protection of human rights in Indonesia

Abstract

The practice of paddy field pawning is still a prevalent phenomenon in Indonesian rural communities, despite the existence of regulations governing it. The practice of paddy field pawning from a legal and ethical perspective, and formulate recommendations for the protection of the rights of the parties involved. The results showed that the practice of paddy field pawning is often not in accordance with applicable legal provisions, especially regarding the time limit and mechanism for returning the pawned land. From an ethical perspective, gadai sawah raises moral dilemmas related to justice, transparency, and the economic sustainability of rural communities. Although it provides a short-term solution, this practice has the potential to perpetuate economic inequality. This research recommends a comprehensive approach in addressing the issue of gadai sawah, including: (1) revision and strengthening of regulations by considering socio-economic conditions and local wisdom; (2) development of alternative financing products by formal financial institutions that better suit the needs of rural communities; (3) expansion of financial education and literacy programmes; (4) economic empowerment of village communities through the development of BUMDes and agricultural cooperatives; and (5) further research on alternative models of agricultural financing.The implementation of these recommendations is expected to improve legal and ethical protection in the practice of paddy field pawning, as well as contribute to the improvement of welfare and socio-economic justice in Indonesia's rural communities.
