Abstract

Article 34 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that "the poor and neglected children are cared for by the state." Although this constitutional guarantee has been clearly regulated, many neglected children in Indonesia have not fully received their rights. The gap between the constitutional mandate and the implementation of this policy reflects an urgent social problem, considering that neglected children are a vulnerable group that requires special attention within the framework of a welfare state. This normative legal research uses a legislative, conceptual, and historical approach. The results of the study indicate that protecting neglected children is a constitutional responsibility and an integral part of social welfare policy. The government is obliged to build a fair, comprehensive, and sustainable protection system through synergy between institutions and community involvement. Child protection policies aim to guarantee the rights of children—especially neglected children—to live, grow, and develop optimally and be protected from violence, discrimination, and neglect. Therefore, comprehensive policy reform needs to be carried out, with a focus on empowering families and communities, providing rehabilitation services, law enforcement, and broad public education. Abstrak Pasal 34 ayat (1) UUD Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 menyatakan bahwa "fakir miskin dan anak-anak yang terlantar dipelihara oleh negara." Meskipun jaminan konstitusional ini telah diatur secara jelas, banyak anak terlantar di Indonesia yang belum sepenuhnya mendapatkan hak-haknya. Kesenjangan antara amanat konstitusi dan implementasi kebijakan ini mencerminkan persoalan sosial yang mendesak, mengingat anak terlantar merupakan kelompok rentan yang membutuhkan perhatian khusus dalam kerangka negara kesejahteraan. Penelitian yuridis normatif ini menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan historis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan anak terlantar merupakan tanggung jawab konstitusional dan bagian integral dari kebijakan kesejahteraan sosial. Pemerintah wajib membangun sistem perlindungan yang adil, menyeluruh, dan berkelanjutan melalui sinergi antar lembaga serta pelibatan masyarakat. Kebijakan perlindungan anak bertujuan menjamin hak anak—terutama anak terlantar—untuk hidup, tumbuh, dan berkembang secara optimal serta terlindungi dari kekerasan, diskriminasi, dan penelantaran. Oleh karena itu, reformasi kebijakan yang komprehensif perlu dilakukan, dengan fokus pada pemberdayaan keluarga dan masyarakat, penyediaan layanan rehabilitasi, penegakan hukum, dan edukasi publik secara luas.

Abstract

Decentralization under Law Number 23 of 2014 grants broad authority to local governments in managing social and religious affairs. However, practices such as the prohibition of Ahmadiyya Jamaah’s Jalsah Salanah by certain regional governments raise tensions between freedom of religion and the rule of law. This study aims to evaluate the legality and legitimacy of such restrictions using John Rawls’ theory of justice, particularly the principles of basic liberties and the difference principle. A normative juridical method is employed, with statutory, case-based, and conceptual approaches. The findings reveal that many local regulations lack a national legal basis, fail the proportionality test, and discriminate against minority groups without social compensation, thereby conflicting with Rawlsian principles. The study concludes that Rawlsian justice principles must be integrated into local legislative processes, judicial review mechanisms strengthened, and inclusive deliberative forums implemented to ensure regional autonomy aligns with constitutional supremacy. Practically, this research offers an evaluative framework for local policymakers and serves as a normative reference for the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court in reviewing potentially discriminatory local regulations. Abstrak Desentralisasi melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 memberikan kewenangan luas kepada pemerintah daerah dalam urusan sosial dan keagamaan. Namun, praktik pembatasan ibadah oleh beberapa Pemda, seperti pelarangan Jalsah Salanah Jamaah Ahmadiyah, menimbulkan konflik antara kebebasan beragama dan prinsip negara hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi legalitas dan legitimasi pembatasan tersebut dengan teori keadilan John Rawls, khususnya prinsip kebebasan dasar dan difference principle. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, kasus, dan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sejumlah kebijakan daerah tidak berlandaskan hukum nasional, tidak proporsional, serta merugikan kelompok minoritas secara diskriminatif. Kesimpulannya, diperlukan integrasi prinsip keadilan Rawlsian dalam legislasi daerah, penguatan judicial review, dan forum deliberatif yang inklusif agar otonomi daerah tidak melanggar supremasi konstitusi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dalam menyediakan kerangka evaluatif bagi pemerintah daerah dan menjadi rujukan normatif bagi Mahkamah Agung dan Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam menilai keabsahan peraturan daerah yang potensial melanggar kebebasan beragama.
