Abstract

The 2025 amendment to the Law on the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI Law) represents a significant phase in the evolution of civil–military relations in Indonesia, particularly with regard to the regulation of military involvement in civilian affairs. This article aims to examine the implications of the amended TNI Law for the principles of constitutional supremacy and civilian supremacy within the framework of a democratic state governed by the rule of law. The analysis primarily focuses on provisions concerning the appointment of active-duty military personnel to certain civilian positions and their compatibility with the principle of functional separation between the military domain and civilian governance. This study employs a normative juridical method, utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches, combined with qualitative analysis of legal norms, constitutional doctrines, and scholarly perspectives drawn from national academic journals The findings indicate that while the amendment seeks to normatively adapt the role of the TNI to contemporary security challenges, it simultaneously raises constitutional concerns regarding potential overlaps between civilian and military functions. Although the legislature emphasizes the existence of limitations and civilian oversight mechanisms, the provisions governing civilian positions accessible to active military personnel remain sufficiently broad to allow varied interpretations in practice. Such conditions may generate tension between the demands of national defense effectiveness and the principle of constitutional supremacy, which requires the military to operate under democratic civilian control. Accordingly, the amendment to the TNI Law must be critically assessed to ensure that it does not undermine the security sector reform paradigm established in the post-Reformasi era. This article underscores the importance of normative clarity, strengthened oversight mechanisms, and consistent legal implementation to ensure that military involvement in civilian affairs remains aligned with constitutional mandates and the principles of the rule of law.

Abstract

Over the past decade, the tourism sector in the karst region of Gunung Kidul has experienced substantial growth, contributing significantly to local revenue generation and expanding employment opportunities for surrounding communities. Nevertheless, the rapid development of tourism infrastructure, land-use conversion, and intensive exploitation of karst landscapes have generated constitutional concerns related to the State’s obligation to safeguard environmental sustainability. Karst ecosystems perform essential ecological functions, including groundwater storage, hydrological regulation, and providing habitats for diverse biological species. Consequently, environmental degradation in these areas may result in long-term ecological consequences. This study aims to examine the tension between tourism-driven economic development and the protection of karst environments from the perspective of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, as well as the principles of sustainable development. The research employs a socio-legal approach, combining normative analysis of statutory regulations with conceptual examination of the green constitution doctrine and sustainable development framework. The findings indicate that Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution not only emphasizes state control over natural resources for the prosperity of the people but also implicitly incorporates principles of environmental sustainability and ecological responsibility. Accordingly, tourism policies that disregard environmental carrying capacity and ecological limits within karst regions risk contradicting constitutional mandates. The integration of sustainable development principles into spatial planning policies and licensing mechanisms is therefore essential to ensure a balanced relationship between economic advancement and environmental preservation.
