Abstract

Based on Article 24C of the 1945 Constitution, the Constitutional Court has the authority to conduct judicial review of laws against the 1945 Constitution, known as judicial review. The Constitutional Court's decision usually rejects several applications that change the norms of the Law on the grounds of open legal policy which is the authority of the lawmakers. This research aims to explore the legal reasoning of judges in interpreting the 1945 Constitution in Constitutional Court Decision Number 112/PUU-XX/2022 which amended Article 29e of Law 19/2019 and Article 34 of Law 30/2002, as well as the implications of the decision for the existence of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) from the perspective of Islamic constitutionalism. This research uses statutory and conceptual approaches. This study found that the testing of Article 29e of Law 19/2019 and Article 34 of Law 30/2002 is more inclined to non-originalism, judicial activism, and prudential interpretations that involve political calculations and inconsistencies. The implications of Constitutional Court Decision No. 112/PUU-XX/2022 on the existence of the KPK from the perspective of Islamic Constitutionalism lead to an unfair KPK leadership appointment process, so that the effectiveness of the KPK in eradicating corruption can be disrupted, threatening public justice and potentially creating injustice. This study contributes to strengthening the implementation of the separation of powers and the implementation of the principle of checks and balances in Indonesia. Abstrak Berdasarkan Pasal 24C UUD 1945, Mahkamah Konstitusi memiliki kewenangan untuk melakukan uji materiil terhadap Undang-Undang terhadap Undang-Undang Dasar 1945, yang dikenal sebagai judicial review. Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi lazimnya menolak beberapa permohonan yang mengubah norma UU dengan alasan open legal policy yang merupakan kewenangan pembuat Undang-Undang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali nalar hukum hakim dalam menafsirkan UUD 1945 dalam putusan MK Nomor 112/PUU-XX/2022 yang mengubah pasal 29e UU 19/2019 dan pasal 34 UU 30/2002, serta implikasi putusan tersebut terhadap keberadaan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) dari perspektif Islamic constitutionalism. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan bahwa pengujian pasal 29e UU19/2019 dan pasal 34 UU 30/2002 lebih condong pada non-originalism, judicial activism, dan penafsiran prudensial yang melibatkan kalkulasi politik dan inkonsisten. Implikasi putusan MK Nomor 112/PUU-XX/2022 terhadap eksistensi KPK dari perspektif Islamic Constitutionalism mengarah pada proses penunjukan pimpinan KPK yang tidak adil, sehingga efektivitas KPK dalam memberantas korupsi dapat terganggu, mengancam keadilan masyarakat dan berpotensi menciptakan kezaliman. Kajian ini berkontribusi untuk penguatan pelaksanaan pemisahan kekuasaan dan pelaksanaan prinsip check and balances di Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper investigates the fundamental elements of Islamic social welfare and economic systems Waqf and Zakat. As required almsgiving and charitable endowments, they are essential to wealth redistribution and communal support. Regardless of their relevance, the absence of official recognition and incorporation within the national legal system poses significant obstacles for these institutions in Nigeria. In an effort to increase the effectiveness and influence of Zakat and Waqf legislation in Nigeria, this study makes the case for a constitutional review that would include them. A qualitative research approach was taken, utilizing contents analysis for data analysis as well as literature and interview to obtain pertinent information. According to the research, the Nigerian constitution does not explicitly and immediately formalize the Waqf and Zakat institutions, and new legislation is required to enable their creation and management. The study offers a thorough analysis of pertinent federal laws and acts as a viable remedy to improve the Waqf and Zakat systems throughout Nigeria.

Abstract

This research is library research that is normative jurisprudence. With a statue approach and a conceptual approach (conceptual approach), We conduct the analysis by descriptively examining the pertinent legal documents, specifically the laws pertaining to the safeguarding of Indonesian citizens' personal data. The purpose of this research is to study the privacy rights regulation in Indonesia and to examine the authority of the parties related to the protection of privacy rights in Indonesia, as well as to study legal protection related to privacy protection in the future. The results of this study show that there are three conclusions: first: the legal protection of the right to privacy through repressive law enforcement in cases of data leakage in Indonesia. Second, the jurisdiction in the judicial protection of privacy rights against data leaks has not been implicitly found in existing regulations, so it requires a specific authority. Third: The legal protection related to privacy protection in Indonesia must be conceived and structured effectively by looking at the legal culture of the people through the mechanisms of the legal tradition in Indonesia in accordance with the theory of the existing system. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji perlindungan hukum terhadap hak privasi warga negara Indonesia terkait kebocoran data pribadi dan kewenangan pihak yang berkompeten dalam penanggulangan masalah ini. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian yuridis normatif yang bersifat library research atau kepustakaan, serta pendekatan Undang-Undang (statute approach) dan konseptual (conceptual approach) untuk menganalisis peraturan yang ada terkait perlindungan data pribadi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan tiga kesimpulan utama: pertama, perlindungan hukum terhadap hak privasi lebih mengandalkan penegakan hukum represif atas kasus kebocoran data di Indonesia; kedua, kewenangan dalam perlindungan hak privasi terhadap kebocoran data belum diatur secara eksplisit dalam regulasi yang ada, sehingga diperlukan instansi yang memiliki kewenangan khusus; ketiga, perlindungan hukum terkait hak privasi di Indonesia di masa depan perlu terkonsep dengan lebih terstruktur dan efektif, memperhatikan budaya hukum masyarakat Indonesia melalui mekanisme tradisi hukum sesuai dengan teori sistem yang ada.

Abstract

The Governor has a role as a coach and supervisor of the formation of regional legal products. In the implementation of guidance and supervision, there are obstacles with the abundance of Regional Legal Products totaling 3800 during 2023 submitted by Regency / City in East Java, both in the form of Draft Regional Regulations (Raperda) and Draft Regional Head Regulations (Raperkada). This dynamic creates a significant imbalance considering that the number of Human Resources (HR) that can handle the complexity of supervision is limited. With so many legal initiatives filed, it is necessary to design a wise approach to ensure that the binwas process is not only effective but also efficient. To identify these problems, this researcher uses empirical legal research, to look at the law in real terms. By using socio-legal, legislative and conceptual approaches. The data collection techniques used interviews, observation, and documentation.The results of the research: 1) The role of the Governor of East Java in the guidance and supervision of regional legal products is very strategic to ensure quality, conformity with higher regulations, and benefits for the community. With the realization of facilitation of only 388 of the total legal products in the past year, regular coordination between local governments and the Provincial Legal Bureau has shown positive results. Policy support, leadership commitment, and human resource development are needed to improve the effectiveness of this process. 2) The role of the Governor of East Java in the guidance and supervision of regional legal products is in accordance with PP No. 33/2018 and Permendagri No. 80/2015. However, there are challenges such as limited human resources and bureaucracy that hinder its effectiveness. Abstrak Gubernur memiliki peran sebagai pembina dan pengawas terhadap pembentukan produk hukum daerah. Dalam pelaksanaan pembinaan dan pengawasan terdapat kendala dengan adanya kelimpahan Produk Hukum Daerah sebanyak 3800 selama tahun 2023 yang diajukan Kabupaten/Kota di Jawa Timur, baik dalam bentuk Rancangan Peraturan Daerah (Raperda) maupun Rancangan Peraturan Kepala Daerah (Raperkada). Dinamika ini menimbulkan ketidakseimbangan yang cukup mencolok mengingat jumlah Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) yang dapat menangani kompleksitas pengawasan tersebut terbatas. Dengan begitu banyaknya inisiatif hukum yang diajukan, perlu dirancang pendekatan yang bijak untuk memastikan bahwa proses binwas tidak hanya efektif tetapi juga efisien. Untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan tersebut, peneliti ini menggunakan jenis penelitian hukum empiris, untuk melihat hukum dalam arti nyata. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan socio-legal, perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Adapun teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil dari penelitian: 1) Peran Gubernur Jawa Timur dalam pembinaan dan pengawasan produk hukum daerah sangat strategis untuk memastikan kualitas, kesesuaian dengan peraturan yang lebih tinggi, dan manfaat bagi masyarakat. Dengan realisasi fasilitasi hanya 388 dari total produk hukum dalam satu tahun terakhir, koordinasi rutin antara pemerintah daerah dan Biro Hukum Provinsi telah menunjukkan hasil positif. Dukungan kebijakan, komitmen pimpinan, dan pengembangan SDM dibutuhkan untuk meningkatkan efektivitas proses ini. 2) Peran Gubernur Jawa Timur dalam pembinaan dan pengawasan produk hukum daerah sudah sesuai dengan PP Nomor 33 Tahun 2018 dan Permendagri Nomor 80 Tahun 2015. Namun, ada tantangan seperti keterbatasan SDM dan birokrasi yang menghambat efektivitasnya.

Abstract

This article discusses the application of community participation in forming laws and regulations in Indonesia. Community participation refers to community involvement in all stages of making laws and regulations, from the planning stage to ratification. UU no. 13 of 2022 concerning the Formation of Legislative Regulations is a crucial basis for the legislative system in Indonesia, which emphasizes the importance of community participation in this process. This research uses a normative method that focuses on the analysis and interpretation of statutory regulations, legal principles, and various related legal references. The research results show that community involvement is not just a formal procedure, but is important in producing legislation that reflects democratic values ??and is responsive to the desires and needs of the community. The absence of participation from the community has the potential to result in less effective legislation and can cause dissatisfaction and rejection from the community. Abstrak Artikel ini membahas tentang penerapan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia. Partisipasi masyarakat mengacu pada keterlibatan masyarakat dalam seluruh tahapan pembuatan peraturan perundang-undangan, mulai dari tahap perencanaan hingga pengesahan. UU No. 13 Tahun 2022 tentang Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-undangan menjadi landasan krusial dalam sistem legislasi di Indonesia, yang menekankan pentingnya peran serta masyarakat dalam proses tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode normatif yang berfokus pada analisis dan interpretasi peraturan perundang-undangan, prinsip-prinsip hukum, serta berbagai referensi hukum terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan masyarakat bukan sekadar prosedur formal, melainkan suatu hal yang penting dalam menghasilkan peraturan perundang-undangan yang mencerminkan nilai-nilai demokrasi dan tanggap terhadap keinginan serta kebutuhan masyarakat. Ketiadaan partisipasi dari masyarakat berpotensi menghasilkan peraturan perundang-undangan yang kurang efektif, serta dapat menimbulkan ketidakpuasan serta penolakan dari masyarakat.

Abstract

This study examines the constitutional challenges and legal issues within the framework of Indonesia's 2024 regional elections (Pilkada). The primary objective is to analyze the implications of recent regulatory changes enacted by the Constitutional Court, particularly concerning the thresholds for candidate nominations and age requirements. Utilizing a normative legal research methodology, this paper reviews relevant legal documents, court rulings, and literature to assess how these changes may affect electoral dynamics and voter participation. The findings indicate that the revised regulations could enhance political participation by allowing a broader array of candidates to compete, thereby enriching the democratic process. However, significant challenges remain, including potential violations of electoral laws and disputes arising from the complex nomination process. Furthermore, the role of civil society and media is critical in monitoring these elections and ensuring accountability. The study concludes that proactive measures must be implemented to support civil society organizations and enhance public awareness regarding electoral rights. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji tantangan konstitusional dan isu-isu hukum dalam kerangka pemilihan umum kepala daerah (Pilkada) 2024 di Indonesia. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk menganalisis implikasi dari perubahan peraturan yang baru-baru ini diberlakukan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi, khususnya terkait ambang batas pencalonan kandidat dan persyaratan usia. Dengan menggunakan metodologi penelitian hukum normatif, makalah ini mengkaji dokumen-dokumen hukum yang relevan, putusan pengadilan, dan literatur untuk menilai bagaimana perubahan-perubahan tersebut dapat mempengaruhi dinamika pemilu dan partisipasi pemilih. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peraturan yang direvisi dapat meningkatkan partisipasi politik dengan memungkinkan lebih banyak kandidat untuk bersaing, sehingga memperkaya proses demokrasi. Namun, masih ada tantangan yang signifikan, termasuk potensi pelanggaran undang-undang pemilu dan sengketa yang timbul dari proses pencalonan yang kompleks. Selain itu, peran masyarakat sipil dan media sangat penting dalam memantau pemilu dan memastikan akuntabilitas. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa langkah-langkah proaktif harus dilaksanakan untuk mendukung organisasi masyarakat sipil dan meningkatkan kesadaran publik mengenai hak-hak pemilu.

Abstract

This study uses a normative research method with a conceptual approach to connect the principle of effectiveness with the Rational Choice theory on the impact of eliminating the limit on the number of members of the Presidential Advisory Council (Wantimpres). The purpose of this study is to analyze Law Number 64 of 2024 concerning Amendments to Law Number 19 of 2006 concerning the Presidential Advisory Council (Wantimpres) which has been agreed upon in a Plenary Meeting held on Thursday, September 19, 2024 in the Plenary Meeting Room, Nusantara II Building, DPR RI, Senayan, Jakarta with its implications for the effectiveness of Wantimpres' performance which has not been proven significant. Although the changes in the legislation are intended to strengthen Wantimpres. However, on the other hand, without any member limits and competency requirements, it is difficult to guarantee that Wantimpres' performance will function more as an effective supporting organ for the president. Although flexibility in the number of members is expected to increase effectiveness, further evaluation is needed to ensure that the changes truly strengthen Wantimpres' role and function in supporting a more optimal government system. By giving full authority to the president to determine the number of members, it raises questions regarding Wantimpres' effectiveness and relevance. Given the importance of institutional analysis, it is necessary to ensure that these changes support Wantimpres' function as an effective advisor to the president. Abstrak Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual untuk menghubungkan prinsip efektivitas dengan teori Pilihan Rasional atas dampak dari penghapusan batasan jumlah anggota Dewan Pertimbangan Presiden (Wantimpres). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis Undang-Undang Nomor 64 Tahun 2024 tentang Perubahan atas Undang- Undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2006 terkait Dewan Pertimbangan Presiden (Wantimpres) yang telah disepakati dalam. Rapat paripurna yang digelar pada Kamis, 19 September 2024 di Ruang Rapat Paripurna, Gedung Nusantara II, DPR RI, Senayan, Jakarta dengan implikasinya terhadap efektivitas kinerja Wantimpres yang belum terbukti signifikan. Meskipun perubahan dalam peraturan perundang-undangan ini bertujuan untuk memperkuat Wantimpres. Namun di sisi lain, tanpa adanya batasan anggota dan syarat kompetensi, sulit menjamin bahwa kinerja Wantimpres akan lebih berfungsi sebagai organ pendukung yang efektif bagi presiden. Meskipun fleksibilitas terhadap jumlah anggota diharapkan mampu meningkatkan efektivitas, namun perlu melakukan evaluasi lebih lanjut untuk memastikan bahwa perubahan tersebut benar-benar memperkuat peran dan fungsi Wantimpres dalam mendukung sistem pemerintahan yang lebih optimal. Dengan memberikan kewenangan penuh kepada presiden untuk menentukan jumlah anggota, memicu pertanyaan terkait efektivitas dan relevansi Wantimpres. Mengingat pentingnya analisis kelembagaan, perlu dipastikan bahwa perubahan ini mendukung fungsi Wantimpres sebagai pemberi nasihat yang efektif bagi presiden.
Implikasi Hukum Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 176/PUU-XXII/2024 terhadap Hak Mengundurkan Diri Calon Legislatif Terpilih: The Legal Implications of Constitutional Court Decision Number 176/PUU-XXII/2024 on the Resignation Rights of Elected Legislative Candidates Mubarak, Husni

Abstract

The Constitutional Court Decision Number 176/PUU-XXII/2024 revised Article 426 paragraph (1) letter b of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, stipulating that elected legislative candidates may only resign if assigned by the state to occupy a position not obtained through a general election. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of the decision on the right of elected candidates to resign and to examine the legal certainty of the phrase “state assignment,” which was not explicitly defined in the Court’s decision. This research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The findings indicate that while the Court intended to uphold the integrity of the election process, the newly inserted phrase creates ambiguity that threatens legal certainty. Therefore, technical regulations are urgently needed to define the limits of the phrase and ensure uniform implementation and protection of constitutional rights Abstrak Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 176/PUU-XXII/2024 telah mengubah ketentuan Pasal 426 ayat (1) huruf b Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum, dengan menetapkan bahwa calon legislatif terpilih hanya dapat mengundurkan diri apabila mendapatkan penugasan dari negara untuk menduduki jabatan yang tidak diperoleh melalui pemilihan umum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi hukum dari putusan tersebut terhadap hak calon legislatif terpilih untuk mengundurkan diri serta menelaah kepastian hukum dari frasa “penugasan dari negara” yang tidak didefinisikan secara eksplisit dalam putusan Mahkamah. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun putusan MK bertujuan menjaga integritas hasil pemilu, frasa baru yang ditambahkan justru menimbulkan multitafsir yang dapat mengganggu kepastian hukum. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan regulasi teknis yang menjabarkan secara tegas batasan frasa tersebut guna menjamin keseragaman implementasi dan perlindungan hak konstitusional

Abstract

Starting from the number of applications for judicial review that were granted by the Constitutional Court, this should be translated as a failure in the legislative process. The submission of a judicial review by the public is the result of the constitutional rights of citizens being violated and conflicting so that public participation is a way out by accommodating all the interests of the community in the formation of laws. This research resulted in two discussions, first, that Pancasila is the main foundation in drafting laws, this can be seen in Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Formation of Legislation which states that the philosophical basis for forming laws must originate from Pancasila. which is a determinant of validity, content and testing. The two four Pancasila precepts are the basis for public participation to be involved in the formation of laws that can be carried out at the stages of submission, discussion and approval by implementing meaningful participation, so that the laws formed can support the public interest. Abstrak Bertitik tolak pada banyaknya pengajuan judicial review yang dikabulkan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi seharusnya diterjemahkan sebagai gagalnya proses legislasi.  Pengajuan judicial review oleh masyarakat merupakan akibat dari adanya hak-hak konstitusional warga negara yang dilanggar dan bertentangan sehingga partisipasi publik merupakan jalan keluar dengan di akomodasinya seluruh kepentingan masyarakat dalam pembentukan undang-undang. Penelitian ini menghasilkan dua bahasan, pertama, bahwa Pancasila merupakan landasan utama dalam penyusunan undang-undangan, hal tersebut dapat di lihat dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2011 tentang Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan yang menyatakan landasan filosofi pembentukan undang-undang harus bersumber dari pancasila yang merupakan penentu validitas, isi dan pengujiannya. Kedua sila ke-empat Pancasila merupakan landasan adanya partisipasi publik untuk dapat terlibat dalam pembentukan undang-undang yang dapat dilakukan pada tahap pengajuan, pembahasan dan persetujuan dengan menerapkan meaningful participation, sehingga undang-undang yang dibentuk dapat menopang kepentingan publik

Abstract

The 2023 presidential election in Madagascar raised serious constitutional and legal questions surrounding the eligibility of incumbent President Andry Rajoelina, who was revealed to have acquired French nationality in 2014. This fact, under the Malagasy Code of Nationality, automatically triggers the loss of his Malagasy citizenship—an essential constitutional requirement for presidential candidacy. Despite legal provisions and widespread objections from civil society and opposition coalitions, the High Constitutional Court (HCC) dismissed all challenges and upheld his candidacy. This paper identifies a gap in existing constitutional law literature in Madagascar, which has not sufficiently addressed the legal implications of nationality loss in the context of presidential eligibility. The paper aims to examine how key legal institutions, particularly the HCC and the electoral commission (CENI), responded to this controversy and what their actions reveal about judicial independence and constitutional compliance. Using a doctrinal approach grounded in positivist and originalist lenses, complemented by judicial independence and democratic legitimacy lenses, this study analyses relevant constitutional provisions, court decisions, and political developments. It argues that the HCC’s refusal to substantively address the nationality issue reflects broader institutional weaknesses and signals a worrying trend of legal uncertainty. The findings highlight the need for reform to restore public trust, ensure electoral integrity, and safeguard constitutionalism in Madagascar.
