Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines the role of the Constitutional Court in determining the absolute jurisdiction of the Police through judicial review of the Criminal Code. It aims to analyze the legal reasoning adopted by the Constitutional Court and the implications of its decisions for the authority of the Police within the criminal justice system. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, with qualitative legal analysis. The findings indicate that the Constitutional Court's decisions play a significant role in providing legal certainty regarding the limits of the Police's absolute jurisdiction while reinforcing the principle of constitutionality in the exercise of law enforcement authority. The study concludes that judicial review conducted by the Constitutional Court serves not only as a mechanism for examining the constitutionality of statutory provisions but also as an important instrument for clarifying the distribution of authority among law enforcement institutions. Consequently, the Court's decisions contribute to greater legal certainty, the protection of citizens' constitutional rights, and the effectiveness of Indonesia's criminal justice system.

Abstract

Digital transformation in public sector organizations has become a critical agenda for strengthening governance reform, yet its implementation often faces institutional, technological, and bureaucratic challenges. This study examines the implementation of the Gudang Arsip Data (GARDA) application as a digital governance instrument for optimizing employee performance at the Class I Correctional Center of Palembang. The research aims to analyze how digital archive transformation is implemented and identify factors influencing its effectiveness within a government institution. This study employs a socio-legal empirical research approach by combining normative analysis of digital governance regulations with qualitative investigation through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that GARDA improves administrative efficiency, document accessibility, and data management; however, its transformative impact remains constrained by limited infrastructure, insufficient technical support, employee adaptation challenges, and weak institutional integration. The study concludes that sustainable digital governance requires alignment between technology, legal frameworks, organizational capacity, and bureaucratic culture. This research contributes to digital governance studies by highlighting internal bureaucratic transformation as an essential dimension of public sector reform.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in regional economic development; however, their competitiveness remains constrained by limited managerial capacity, financing access, technology adoption, and market expansion. Although various MSME empowerment policies have been implemented, limited studies have examined how local government implementation processes, organizational capacity, stakeholder coordination, and regional characteristics influence program effectiveness. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the MSME Empowerment Program in improving business competitiveness at the Department of Cooperatives and MSMEs of Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate strategies for strengthening MSME empowerment policies. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a socio-legal and public policy implementation perspective. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation involving government officials, MSME actors, cooperatives, and relevant stakeholders. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model, supported by the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation framework. The findings reveal that program implementation is supported by clear policy objectives, institutional commitment, and stakeholder collaboration, but remains constrained by limited resources, uneven mentoring, weak digital adaptation, and outcome-based monitoring limitations. This study contributes to public policy development by proposing a business profile-based empowerment approach that integrates organizational capacity, digital transformation, collaborative governance, and sustainable MSME competitiveness development.

Abstract

Digital transformation of local governments is often introduced through the development of electronic platforms. Still, its success is largely determined by the ability of public organizations to manage innovation, create effective work processes, and prioritize citizen-centered services. This study aims to analyze the innovation management capacity of local governments in the digital transformation of public services in Makassar City, Indonesia. The study used a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations of service practices, and analysis of relevant documents, including digital service procedures, internal reports, policy documents, and contextual digital-government data. Analysis was conducted thematically through iterative coding, data reduction, category development, and triangulation between sources. The results show that digital service platforms and formal policy commitments are in place. However, service implementation still operates in a hybrid manner, ranging from online registration with manual verification, physical filing, and parallel data input. Apparatus adaptation is driven more by informal learning, peer mentoring, problem-solving through instant messaging applications, and leadership monitoring, rather than by systematic training. Leadership supports digital adoption through daily oversight, coordination with technical units, and operational problem-solving, but hierarchical decision-making and application fragmentation limit end-to-end service integration. For citizens, digital transformation improves initial access, queue management, and administrative visibility. Still, its impact on service quality and trust remains limited by network stability, digital literacy gaps, and mandatory face-to-face verification. This research contributes to digital public administration by positioning local digital transformation as a socio-technical innovation management process, rather than simply a technology procurement project. Practical implications include the need for an integrated service architecture, continuous capacity building of civil servants, human-centered service design, and inclusive digital literacy support.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal basis, scope of authority, and implications of the authority of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia within Indonesia’s constitutional legal system. This research employs a normative legal research method using a statutory approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. The legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources collected through library research and subsequently analyzed qualitatively using deductive reasoning. The findings indicate that the authority of the Constitutional Court has a strong constitutional foundation, as stipulated in Article 24C of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court, as most recently amended by Law Number 7 of 2020. Such authority includes reviewing laws against the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, resolving disputes concerning the constitutional authority of state institutions, deciding on the dissolution of political parties, resolving disputes over general election results, and rendering decisions on the opinion of the House of Representatives regarding alleged violations committed by the President and/or Vice President.This study concludes that the Constitutional Court plays a strategic role as the guardian of the constitution in upholding constitutional supremacy, strengthening the system of checks and balances, protecting citizens’ constitutional rights, and promoting the establishment of a democratic, equitable constitutional legal system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing industrial water resource utilization in Indonesia and to examine the potential application of the water footprint concept as a legal instrument for controlling industrial water consumption in support of sustainable water resource protection. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Data were collected through a library study comprising primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials and were analyzed qualitatively. The findings indicate that the regulation of water resource utilization in Indonesia has been governed under Law Number 17 of 2019 on Water Resources, Law Number 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management, and regulations concerning risk-based business licensing. However, these legal frameworks have not comprehensively accommodated mechanisms for measuring and controlling industrial water consumption. The water footprint concept, through the measurement of blue, green, and grey water footprints, offers significant potential to be integrated into the water resource management and licensing system through mechanisms of measurement, reporting, and monitoring of industrial water use. Therefore, integrating the water footprint concept into Indonesia's legal framework can serve as a preventive legal instrument to enhance water-use efficiency, strengthen water resource protection, and promote sustainable industrial development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal consequences of the Indonesian National Police’s non-compliance with Constitutional Court Decision No. 114/PUU-XXIII/2025 and to examine its implications for Indonesia’s constitutional system. The decision prohibits active members of the Indonesian National Police from holding civilian positions unless they resign or retire from police service. However, several provisions of Regulation of the Indonesian National Police No. 10 of 2025 are considered inconsistent with the Constitutional Court’s ruling, thereby creating a legal antinomy and uncertainty in its implementation. This study employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The analysis focuses on the hierarchy of laws and regulations, the final and binding nature of Constitutional Court decisions, and the constitutional limits of authority among state institutions. Legal materials were examined qualitatively through legal interpretation and systematic analysis. The results indicate that non-compliance with the Constitutional Court’s decision may constitute constitutional disobedience, weaken the supremacy of the Constitution, and create legal uncertainty regarding the appointment of active police officers to civilian positions. It also undermines the authority of the Constitutional Court and disrupts the checks and balances mechanism. The study concludes that regulatory harmonization, stricter institutional supervision, and an effective enforcement mechanism are required to ensure compliance with Constitutional Court decisions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine whether the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program constitutes a constitutional tort and to analyze the forms of state responsibility arising from its implementation. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, comparative, and case approaches to assess the constitutional implications of the program. The findings indicate that the implementation of MBG has generated serious concerns, including mass food poisoning incidents caused by inadequate food safety standards and weak supervision, as well as the potential misallocation of education funds. These shortcomings demonstrate the state's failure to effectively fulfill its constitutional obligations to protect and guarantee the rights to health and education. Such failure may be classified as a constitutional tort, referring to violations of constitutional rights resulting from state action or omission. In this context, state accountability extends beyond administrative responsibility to encompass constitutional and legal liability. Therefore, the state is obligated to provide effective remedies for victims, including compensation where appropriate, strengthen monitoring and food safety mechanisms, and improve policy design and implementation to prevent similar constitutional violations in the future. These measures are essential to ensure that public welfare programs are implemented in accordance with constitutional principles and the protection of fundamental rights.
