Abstract

The Constitutional Court's decision regarding the age limit for nominations for President and Vice President has caused problems in society, one of which is related to the issue of the existence of a Family Court. This issue arises because juridically there is a logical inconsistency in the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the age limit for nominations for President and Vice President and related to the nomination of the President's children to contest the Presidential and Vice Presidential elections in the 2024 election. This research aims to analyze aspects of the age threshold for Presidential candidacy and The Vice President reviewed the theory of dignified justice along with an analysis of the Family Court issue as a result of the Constitutional Court's decision. This research is normative legal research which also orientates socio-legal aspects to assess the impact of a Constitutional Court Decision. The approach used is a conceptual and statutory approach. The research results confirm that the enigma of the age threshold for presidential candidacy in the perspective of the theory of dignified justice occurs because the Constitutional Court has gone beyond the open legal policy conception where the age threshold for presidential and vice presidential candidacy is actually the domain of the legislative institution as in the open legal policy conception. Judging from the theory of dignified justice, the enigma of the age threshold for presidential candidacy also occurs because the Constitutional Court failed to construct the dimensions of social justice as envisioned in the formulation of Pancasila. MK Decision on the Age of the President and Vice President as part of a legal product certainly has social, political and legal impacts on society. Issues related to the Family Court should be addressed wisely by the Constitutional Court because these issues exist as a form of public concern for the dignity of the Constitutional Court as an institution that protects the constitution.

Abstract

An efficient state institution, grounded in law and human rights, serves as the primary pillar for political stability and sustainable development, as evidenced by the comparison between Indonesia and Nigeria, two countries that face similar challenges despite their distinct historical backgrounds. This study aims to examine the role of law and human rights in the development of state institutions in both Indonesia and Nigeria, as well as to identify the similarities and differences in how these principles are applied in each nation. The research uses a normative legal approach, incorporating statutory, conceptual, and comparative methods to assess the regulations, legal concepts, and the application of law and human rights in the formation of state institutions in both countries, utilizing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials analyzed qualitatively. The results indicate that law and human rights play a significant role in shaping state institutions in both Indonesia and Nigeria, despite their differing legal systems. Indonesia follows the 1945 Constitution, emphasizing the separation of powers and the establishment of the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM), while Nigeria operates under the 1999 Constitution with a presidential and federal system, along with the creation of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Both nations encounter common challenges, such as weak law enforcement and social inequality, which impede the effective integration of human rights into governance. As a result, strengthening human rights institutions and implementing structural reforms are essential to achieving more inclusive and equitable governance.

Abstract

This study examines the legal frameworks governing village administration and the protection of human rights in Indonesia, Nigeria, and Japan. The legal frameworks analyzed include Villages Law in Indonesia, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Local Government Act in Nigeria, and the Local Autonomy Law in Japan. The research adopts a normative legal approach, employing both statutory and comparative methods to examine the regulations, institutional authority structures, and legal principles of those countries. While the three countries acknowledge the significance of village autonomy and human rights protection, they differ markedly in their normative approaches. Indonesia has developed a relatively progressive legal framework; Nigeria continues to grapple with challenges related to legal pluralism; and Japan prioritizes institutional stability and community engagement. The study concludes that the effectiveness of village governance laws is significantly influenced by the clarity of legal norms, the robustness of institutional structures, and the overall coherence of each country’s legal system
