Abstract

This study examines the concept of universal human values within the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, exploring their potential to foster global peace and solidarity. Drawing on the profound insights of Frithjof Schuon and Huston Smith, this research highlights the shared core values present across these three distinct religions, despite their differences in form, doctrine, and ritual. These shared values include justice, compassion, respect for human dignity, and responsibility toward others and the environment. Through the lens of the Perennial Philosophy, both thinkers posit that these values are manifestations of a single, underlying Truth common to all religions. Schuon focuses on the transcendental principles underpinning each tradition, emphasizing the metaphysical and esoteric dimensions of these values as reflections of divine truths. For instance, he points to teachings on social justice, respect for human dignity, and responsibility toward nature in Judaism; the emphasis on compassion and solidarity, including the call to love one’s neighbor and even enemies, in Christianity; and the concept of Tawhid, stressing the unity of God and humanity, which underpins teachings on social justice and fair treatment in Islam. Smith, while acknowledging the metaphysical aspects, emphasizes the practical, ethical, and social implications of these values, particularly their role in building a just and harmonious society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of political dynamics on institutional independence in criminal prosecution processes, focusing on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) in post-1998 democratic transition Indonesia. The central issue examined is how constitutional weaknesses are exploited by lawmakers to manipulate institutional design, thereby undermining the capacity of these bodies to function independently. Utilizing a socio-legal methodology that integrates legal analysis with social science perspectives, this interdisciplinary approach explores the interplay between institutional frameworks, regulatory structures, and political dynamics. The findings reveal that the concept of the unitary executive, previously abandoned, has reemerged as a justification for political intervention in institutional design. Consequently, both the KPK and Komnas HAM have experienced a significant erosion of their institutional independence, impairing their effectiveness in addressing corruption and human rights violations. This study contributes to theoretical debates on institutional challenges in emerging democracies and offers practical insights for safeguarding institutional autonomy to ensure the accountability and integrity of governance structures.
