Abstract

This research examines the critical tension between executive expansion and judicial independence within the context of the 2024 general elections and the emergence of new administrations globally and in Indonesia. Utilizing a normative-legal and comparative approach, the study analyzes the phenomenon of "autocratic legalism," where legal instruments are strategically repurposed to consolidate political power, thereby threatening the traditional framework of checks and balances. The findings indicate a significant global regression in democratic standards, with a 67% "fatality rate" for autocratizing democracies and a measurable decline in judicial constraints on executive power in 61% of nations. In Indonesia, the 2024 transition highlighted structural vulnerabilities in the Constitutional Court, particularly regarding ethical dilemmas and the "judicial capture" of candidate eligibility requirements. The article further explores the paradigm shift from proceduralism to substantive justice, arguing that the realization of equitable outcomes requires judges to adopt a "Justice as Fairness" approach, rooted in natural law and human rights, to balance the inherent power asymmetry between the state and its citizens. The study concludes that safeguarding judicial integrity requires institutional reforms including transparent appointment mechanisms, budgetary autonomy, and a progressive interpretive framework that transcends formalistic legal positivism.

Abstract

This research examines the complex dynamics of global governance models through a comparative lens, focusing on the fundamental dichotomy between presidential and parliamentary systems and the unique constitutional evolution of Indonesia. The primary objective is to analyze the structural efficacy, accountability mechanisms, and stability profiles of these systems in the context of contemporary democratic challenges such as the rise of populism and institutional erosion. Utilizing a normative juridical and comparative qualitative methodology, the study synthesizes constitutional provisions, recent Scopus-indexed literature (2020-2025), and landmark judicial decisions to provide an expert-level evaluation of institutional design. The findings reveal that while parliamentary systems excel in representativeness and collective responsibility through executive-legislative fusion, they often struggle with coalition instability. Conversely, presidential systems offer executive stability through fixed tenure but face risks of polarization, gridlock, and power concentration. Indonesia's system is identified as a "sui generis" model—a product of constitutional dialectics that attempts to purify the presidential executive while operating within a hyper-pluralistic multi-party environment. The research highlights the pivotal role of the Indonesian Constitutional Court in shifting the national priority from "governability" to "representativeness" through Decision No. 62/PUU-XXII/2024. The study concludes that the effectiveness of a government system is inherently tied to its cultural and historical context, requiring continuous institutional engineering to balance executive power with democratic inclusivity.

Abstract

Anak adalah amanah sekaligus karunia dari Tuhan Yang Maha Esa yang memiliki harkat, martabat, dan hak-hak sebagai manusia yang harus dijunjung tinggi. Namun, kekerasan seksual terhadap anak menjadi fenomena yang sangat memprihatinkan yang tidak hanya merusak fisik tetapi juga menghancurkan psikis generasi penerus bangsa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara mendalam mengenai perlindungan hukum terhadap anak sebagai korban kekerasan seksual berdasarkan perspektif Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak dan Undang-Undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2014 tentang Perlindungan Anak. Selain itu, penelitian ini mengkaji pertimbangan hakim dalam menjatuhkan pidana penjara dan pelatihan kerja dalam Putusan Nomor 51/SK.Pid.Sus-Anak/2023/PN Mtr. Metode penelitian yang diterapkan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan kasus dan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa meskipun regulasi telah menyediakan kerangka perlindungan yang mencakup rehabilitasi, pendampingan hukum, dan kerahasiaan identitas, implementasinya dalam putusan tersebut masih menunjukkan dominasi orientasi pada penghukuman pelaku. Perlindungan terhadap anak korban perlu diperkuat melalui integrasi mekanisme restitusi yang lebih proaktif dan dukungan psikososial yang berkelanjutan guna menjamin masa depan korban.
