Abstract

The right of access to information is based on both Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which guarantee everyone the right and freedom “to seek, receive and impart information and ideas” by any means of their choice. Article 24 of the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) guarantees the right to information in the following terms: “everyone has the right to information”. The effective manifestation of this right to information remains closely linked to the exercise of freedom of expression and opinion on any subject of public interest and its inevitable corollary, freedom of information. The effectiveness of the right to information also depends on citizens' participation in the nation's public life. A population well-informed by its government can fight against fake news and the spread of false rumors while promoting the fight against corruption and good governance. Accessing public information is one of the most important conditions for assessing the democratic management and openness of society to citizen participation. As an inalienable right, access to information is the foundation of a free, democratic and transparent society. The research was based on the legal approach and the comparative method. The former allowed the subject to be approached by grasping the quintessence of the various existing legal standards. The latter helped to compare the various internal and extra-internal legal instruments based on comparative law, particularly French law. This analysis also used the documentary technique and the free interview in the form of a chat with ordinary citizens or any other personality (civil society groups, journalists, entrepreneurs, national and local elected representatives, other professional, political and trade union groups, and civil servants).

Abstract

Political parties are the political suprastructure in a democratic country as a means for citizens to occupy political positions through general elections. The requirements for verifying political parties participating in an election are always contained in every election law making it difficult for political parties to pass verification as well as excluding several political parties that have met certain verification requirements so that they are immediately declared as participants in the next elections. This exception is not in accordance with several Constitutional Court Decisions which have the same substance which consistently declares unconstitutional, except for the Constitutional Court Decision Number 55/PUU-XVIII/2020. The research method used is normative juridical regarding laws and regulations, namely Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections, accompanied by comparative study of jurisprudence  Constitutional Court's decision regarding an application for judicial review of political party verification accompanied by literature studies. The research analysis uses a qualitative approach to understand more deeply the legal phenomena that occur and examines the substance to obtain specific conclusions on what is studied. That decision based on a discussion of this research is inconsistent because the arguments and materials of the 1945 Constitution used are different and the Constitutional Court is not required to use jurisprudence as a basis for consideration even though there are similarities in substance.

Abstract

Sustainable development in East Kalimantan requires guarantees of constitutional rights and an integrated environmental licensing system. This is important because development that does not pay attention to environmental aspects can have a negative impact on people's quality of life and environmental sustainability. The guarantee of constitutional rights is the first step in protecting people's rights to a healthy and sustainable environment. Meanwhile, an integrated licensing system can minimize adverse environmental impacts and increase compliance and transparency in decision-making. This study examines the importance of guaranteeing constitutional rights and an integrated licensing system in sustainable environmental development in East Kalimantan. The approach used is qualitative by using secondary data such as statutory documents and research reports. The research results show that constitutional rights guarantees and an integrated licensing system are essential in ensuring sustainable development in East Kalimantan. Guaranteed constitutional rights can provide legal certainty and protection of people's rights to a healthy and sustainable environment. Meanwhile, an integrated licensing system can help maintain environmental sustainability and provide legal certainty for investments in sectors that have an impact on the environment. However, there are still challenges in implementing constitutional rights guarantees and integrated licensing systems, such as coordination between agencies, limited human and technological resources, and public awareness about the importance of protecting the environment. Therefore, good coordination between the government, the community and the private sector is needed to protect the environment and ensure sustainable development in East Kalimantan.

Abstract

Children as victims of criminal acts of sexual violence essentially need to get the protection of the welfare and the right to return to grow and develop in accordance with the 1945 Constitution. Losses suffered by children need to be claimed through criminal compensation to the perpetrator or third person, namely the submission of the right to restitution. The mechanism for filing the right to restitution has certainly developed in the rule of law. However, until now it is still an obstacle for victims in fulfilling the filing requirements based on Government Regulation Number 43 of 2017. Of course this will make it difficult for victims to get justice as they should. This article will use normative research, where this research describes the analysis of the problems presented in the research using laws and regulations that refer to Law Number 31 of 2014 and Government Regulation Number  43 of 2017 in accordance with the scope of the discussion of applicable law and comes from literature journals and other sources of information that become references for the author to collect data to complete this research. The results show that the mechanism for implementing the right to restitution is difficult to implement, especially considering that victims tend to be unfamiliar with the law, besides that there are still perpetrators who generally come from the closest family and are not capable and have not regulated the nominal amount of payment that the perpetrator must fulfill. Therefore, it is necessary to reformulate the applicable regulations and related institutions need to play an active role in facilitating victims to fulfill the rights that should be obtained from a criminal offense as a form of effort to realize Human Rights (HAM) itself in the constitutional guarantees of citizens, especially children.

Abstract

The existence of goals in the state is in accordance with Emmanuel Kant's opinion that the existence of guarantees relating to the formation and defense is to improve the position of the law. There is a strong impetus that needs to be realized optimally when there is a change in the legal politics of state power, mainly so that there is no deviation from the direction of the law that will make it difficult to achieve the essence of the state. So how is the history related to the dynamics of legal politics in Indonesian state administration, political intervention in the development of Indonesian state administration, and finally how is the comparison of legal politics in national law and Islamic law. The problem approach used in this research is a normative approach. The normative approach is an approach that is carried out by collecting and studying applicable legal regulations that are closely related to research problems which include laws and regulations, official documents, and other sources. The results show that the reflection of the development or dynamics of legal politics in its influence on state administration includes the formation of laws and related authorities between each state institution, which is the basis for the direction of current state development. In this case, it is also seen that the role of legal politics can influence or intervene in the world of state administration, which is so dominating in various state administration structures. In this case, it is also necessary to see the role of legal politics in Islamic law, which is considered to play an important role historically in basic arrangements and is one of the factors in forming the pillars of state administration in Indonesia.

Abstract

While there is strong advocacy globally on human rights, little attention is paid to constitutional rights in some countries. Many constitutions contain constitutional rights, which are mainly referred to as the bill of rights in their constitutions. This piece presents a comparative exposition of the constitutional rights in The Gambia and Indonesia as constitutional states. Both countries are sovereign, and the strength and lethargy in enforcing these rights in these countries are of great significance in this research. In this research, empirical and normative research approaches are taken to examine both primary and secondary data. Primary materials like the constitutions of the two countries, legislation and court cases on constitutional rights are used. Secondary materials like articles and books are sufficiently used to support this research. Cognizant that a constitution is both a legal and political instrument, the Constitutional Court of Indonesia is undermined to a certain extent by both the House of Representatives and the Executive, and The Gambia’s sparing moments in disobeying High Court orders as regards constitutional rights, this research finally reaches an informed verdict that constitutional rights are different from human rights and approaches to their enhancement ought to be premised on citizenship. The inclusion of legal provisions in constitutions does not, ex cathedra, make institutions strong. Therefore, both countries need a paradigm shift in their national mechanisms to strengthen the institutions that enforce these rights despite the institutional differences in socio-political and socio-legal structures. To do this, the constitutional defense bodies must be comparatively autonomous from other institutions exercising the legislative, executive, and judicial functions to carry out such activities to increase individuals’ and States’ respect for the constitutions and the law and the constitutional rights guaranteed by these constitutions will make fresh and significant strides.
