Abstract

General elections are the primary mechanism for realizing popular sovereignty under the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Constitutional Court Decision No. 135/PUU-XXII/2024 marks a major shift in electoral design by separating national and regional elections, departing from the simultaneous model affirmed in Decision No. 55/PUU-XVII/2019. Although final and binding, the ruling creates a normative void due to the absence of transitional provisions. This study analyzes the constitutional implications of this paradigm shift, examines its consistency with prior jurisprudence, and evaluates regulatory transition options to preserve legal certainty and democratic legitimacy. Using a normative juridical method with conceptual and statutory approaches, the research finds that the divergence between the two decisions weakens legal certainty and risks institutional disruption, electoral disputes, and declining public trust ahead of the 2029 election. The case highlights tensions in the Court’s evolving role and underscores the urgent need for legislative action to establish clear transitional regulations to safeguard electoral stability and democratic legitimacy.

Abstract

The Constitutional Court is authorized to review statutes against the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia,, and its decisions are final and binding. However, the absence of an explicit prohibition against reenacting annulled norms in Law Number 12 of 2011 in conjunction with Law Number 13 of 2022 on the Formation of Legislation creates legal uncertainty and risks weakening the authority of the Court. This study analyzes the legal implications of Constitutional Court decisions for lawmakers in regulating a prohibition on reenacting revoked norms within the framework of the rule of law. Using a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, the study finds that Constitutional Court decisions are erga omnes and obligate lawmakers to follow up through amendment, revocation, or normative adjustment. The absence of explicit regulation enables the recurrence of unconstitutional norms and undermines constitutional supremacy. Therefore, clear statutory provisions prohibiting the reenactment of annulled norms are necessary to strengthen legal certainty and preserve the authority of Constitutional Court decisions.

Abstract

Vigilante violence in Nigeria, particularly against Northerners in southern regions, exposes a gap between constitutional guarantees and lived reality. Although the Constitution of Nigeria protects the rights to life, equality, and security, weak enforcement has enabled recurring extrajudicial killings and ethnic profiling. This article examines whether such violence violates Section 33 (right to life), Section 42 (freedom from discrimination), and Section 14(2)(b) (state duty to ensure security and welfare). Using doctrinal and socio-legal analysis of constitutional provisions, case law, international instruments, and Amnesty International reports, the study finds persistent violations of life, patterns of indirect discrimination, and state failure to prevent and punish vigilante killings. These failures undermine constitutional legitimacy and national integration. The article recommends stronger accountability, disaggregated crime data, judicial enforcement of state obligations, and community-based initiatives to restore equal protection and the rule of law.
