Abstract

This study examines the consistency of the implementation of the Pancasila State of Law in guaranteeing judicial freedom in Indonesia, as stipulated in Article 1 paragraph (3) and Article 24 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution. The Pancasila State of Law integrates the rule of law, protection of human rights, the principles of legality, and judicial independence with Pancasila values that are philosophical, ethical, and religious. Judicial independence, as a key pillar, requires judges to be free from external intervention to produce fair and objective decisions. However, its implementation faces challenges, such as a history of executive intervention, the quality of human resources, and corrupt practices, collusion, and nepotism. This study uses a juridical normative method, analyzes laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and judicial practices in Indonesia, and compares them with the Dutch and United States judicial systems. The results show the need for legal reconstruction through strengthening the guarantee of the position of judge, transparent recruitment, separation of powers, independent budget management, and improving the appeal and cassation mechanisms. This reform will ensure an independent, professional, and integrity judiciary, in line with the values of Pancasila.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and formulate the ideal concept of regulating the position of judges as State Officials from the perspective of ius constituendum, by considering the principle of the rule of law adopted by Indonesia. In the Indonesian constitutional system, Article 24 of the 1945 Constitution affirms the judicial power that is independent and free from interference by other powers. However, reality shows that the dualism of the judge's status—as a civil servant and state official—causes ambiguity in the personnel system, administration, and judicial independence. This study uses a normative approach with a qualitative legal analysis method, supported by a philosophical and legislative approach. The results of the study show that the status of judges should be consistently recognized as State Officials to strengthen independence, professionalism, and integrity in carrying out judicial functions. Philosophically, the independence of judges reflects the noble values of Pancasila and the principle of Belief in the One Almighty God, as contained in the court rulings. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate new regulations that eliminate dualism of status and ensure institutional protection for judges. It is hoped that this conceptual reformulation can become the basis for the formation of legislation that is fairer, more progressive and in accordance with the ideals of Indonesian law.

Abstract

This study examines the need to reconstruct land clearing regulations in forest areas based on the value of justice, driven by the increasing deforestation in Indonesia due to illegal practices causing ecosystem damage. Although various laws have been enacted, including Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry, Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management, Law Number 18 of 2013 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction, and Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation, their implementation remains weak. Law enforcement, intended as an instrument of justice, suffers from inconsistencies and lacks a deterrent effect, negatively impacting forest protection. This research aims to analyze weaknesses in law enforcement regulations for land clearing and formulate justice-based recommendations for reconstruction. Using John Rawls's theory of justice and legal system theory, this qualitative case study collected primary data through interviews and observations at the Central Kalimantan Police, complemented by secondary data from regulatory documents and literature reviews. This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of enforcement dynamics and factors hindering justice in illegal land clearing cases. The findings reveal that current regulations fail to ensure fair and effective law enforcement due to insufficient sanctions, suboptimal environmental restoration mechanisms, and minimal community participation. This study recommends regulatory revision emphasizing justice principles, stricter sanctions, and a transparent monitoring system. Synergy among law enforcement, legislators, and communities is essential for sustainable forest protection.
