Abstract

The People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI) plays a crucial role in the legislative process that shapes national policies. However, its effectiveness is often questioned due to discrepancies between the number of enacted laws and the set targets. This study aims to evaluate the legislative performance of the DPR RI during the 2019-2024 period, focusing on the quality and relevance of the laws produced. The research employs a normative approach to assess the alignment of legislative outputs with constitutional principles, alongside an empirical approach to measure legislative productivity and its impact on society. The findings indicate that although the DPR RI successfully enacted several laws, many of these legislative products fall short of public expectations in terms of both quantity and quality. The implications of this study highlight the need for improved legislative efficiency and increased public participation to ensure that the laws produced are more responsive to societal needs.

Abstract

Barriers to returning assets can be explained theoretically and practically. Theoretically, there has been a misunderstanding in the understanding of lawmakers and several criminal law experts and financial legal experts in resolving the problem of criminal assets. The first mistake, namely the a priori attitude that criminal law which is oriented to the philosophy of retributive justice is seen as the only legal tool that is considered appropriate for the purpose of restoring state financial losses. While this goal can only be achieved by changing the new paradigm of corrective-rehabilitative and restorative justice. The second mistake, so far the legal approach in the legal process of returning assets of a criminal offense is always used a normative legal approach based on legal positivism.

Abstract

Pelanggaran hukum tata usaha negara merupakan isu krusial dalam sistem hukum Indonesia yang mempengaruhi keadilan dan kepastian hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas putusan erga omnes dalam mengatasi pelanggaran tersebut dan memperkuat supremasi hukum di Indonesia. Menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi peran putusan erga omnes dalam menciptakan kepastian hukum dan memberikan efek jera terhadap pelanggaran oleh pejabat publik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun putusan erga omnes memiliki potensi besar dalam memperkuat sistem hukum dan melindungi hak-hak masyarakat, implementasinya seringkali terhambat oleh kurangnya pemahaman di kalangan aparat penegak hukum dan birokrasi yang lamban. Implikasi penelitian ini mengindikasikan perlunya peningkatan pemahaman hukum, penguatan regulasi, dan kolaborasi antara pemerintah dan masyarakat sipil untuk memastikan efektivitas putusan erga omnes dalam hukum tata usaha negara.

Abstract

Regional autonomy in Indonesia grants villages the authority to manage their own government affairs, including authority based on origin rights derived from traditions, customs, and local history. However, the implementation of village authority often faces challenges within the framework of regional autonomy. This study aims to analyze and evaluate efforts to harmonize village authority based on origin rights with the principles of regional autonomy. Using a qualitative approach with case studies in several villages, this research found that strengthening village authority through clear and firm legality is the key to achieving optimal harmonization. This study illustrates how the dynamics of village authority grounded in indigenous rights can significantly contribute to the alignment of regional autonomy principles in Indonesia. The focus on legality is a crucial factor that can improve efficacy and accountability in village governance, while also bolstering community participation.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the crucial role of the Constitutional Court in upholding the Sovereignty of Law, maintaining the Distribution of Power, and strengthening democracy in Indonesia. This study uses a normative legal research method. The collected legal material is then qualitatively analyzed to describe the problem and answer the study objectives. The results show that the Constitutional Court plays a central role in strengthening democracy through judicial review of laws, protection of human rights, oversight of the executive and legislative branches, and maintenance of the balance of power and social harmony. The Court also acts as a guide for just public policy and a guardian of social harmony within Indonesia’s legal pluralism. Therefore, it is recommended that the Constitutional Court continue to strengthen its role, enhance its dialogical approach with the public, and promote transparency in decision-making. The Government and Legislators need to pay attention to the principles of the Constitution, social justice, and human rights in formulating legislation and implementing Constitutional Court decisions with total commitment. The public is expected to monitor and demand the active implementation of constitutional court decisions. Collaboration among the Constitutional Court, the Government, Legislators, and the public is critical to realizing a democratic and just society in Indonesia.

Abstract

In the world there are 2 (two) types of legal systems, namely the Anglo Saxon or Common Law System and the Continental Europe or Civil Law System, Countries with Anglo Saxon legal systems do not recognize the separation of judicial chambers. Indonesia as a continental european adherent in the exercise of judicial power divides into several courts under it, including General Courts, Religious Courts, Administrative Courts, and Military Courts. The number of cases submitted to the District Court as General Court makes the case unfiltered, whether it is under the authority of the District Court or other Courts, in contrast to the State Administrative Court where in its procedural law there is a lawsuit research process that goes to the Court or commonly known as the dismissal process. Therefore, a legal transplant is needed to overcome the problem. In addition, there is a need for a Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) which regulates the stages of dismissal of proceedings in the General Court in civil cases, commercial cases, industrial relations cases, and cases at the Human Rights Court as well as the revision of Law Number 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations, the revision of Law Number 2 of 2004 concerning the Settlement of Industrial Relations Disputes, and the revision of Law Number 26 of 2000 concerning the Human Rights Court.

Abstract

In a state government administration system that uses the principle of distribution of power or what is known as decentralization, namely that authority is distributed to regional governments at each level, this gives rise to a model of regional government that requires autonomy in the exercise of authority. The division of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia into provinces, districts and cities, as well as the division of government affairs between the Central Government and Regional Governments, of course gives rise to authority and financial relations. This research is normative juridical research so that data is collected in the literature, the data that has been obtained is then analyzed qualitatively juridically. The research resulted in the conclusion that in Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, the relationship between the central government and regional governments in Indonesia is to use the concept of the relative autonomy model, the central government still needs to uphold the principle of regional autonomy as mandated by the constitution. Meanwhile, in terms of regional government financial relations, it is appropriate to manage and use balance funds in an accountable, transparent and professional manner

Abstract

The harmonization between the regulations of the General Elections Commission (KPU) and the Constitutional Court (MK) decisions is crucial in ensuring the implementation of Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) following constitutional principles. However, discrepancies between KPU regulations and MK decisions often create legal uncertainty and threaten the legitimacy of the democratic process. This study aims to analyze the legal challenges and implications of such harmonization, focusing on the conformity of KPU regulations with MK rulings. The research employs a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach involving analyzing primary and secondary legal materials. The findings reveal that KPU frequently fails to align its regulations with MK decisions, leading to inconsistencies in Pilkada implementation. The implications of these findings include the need for enhanced cooperation between KPU and MK and strengthening KPU's internal capacity in legal interpretation. This study contributes to the development of legal harmonization theory and provides practical recommendations for improving the governance of Pilkada in Indonesia.

Abstract

The candidate threshold policy for regional heads in Indonesia aims to enhance candidate quality through significant political support. However, the implementation of this policy often negatively impacts political participation and competition at the local level. This study aims to analyze the effects of the candidate threshold policy on the number of candidates, the dominance of major parties, and the quality of local democracy. The research employs legal research methods, including literature review and policy analysis with a qualitative approach. The findings indicate that the threshold policy leads to a decrease in the number of candidates, strengthens the dominance of major parties, and reduces healthy political competition. Recommended policy reforms include lowering the threshold, providing support for independent candidates, increasing transparency, conducting periodic evaluations, and enhancing political education. The implications of these findings highlight the need for policy adjustments to create a more equitable and effective election process and to strengthen the quality of local democracy.
