Peran Ahli Hukum dalam Persidangan Mahkamah Konstitusi
Get PDFMahkamah Konstitusi kerap membuka persidangan dengan agenda mendengar keterangan ahli hukum sebagai bagian dari pembuktian. Hal ini menjadi sebuah kelaziman yang dipraktekkan tanpa adanya kritisi. Keberadaan ahli hukum dalam sebuah forum yang dipimpin oleh majelis hakim yang dianggap memenuhi persyaratan akan penguasaan isu konstitusi dan ketatanegaraan, secara tersirat, berarti mempertanyakan kualifikasi dari hakim konstitusi itu sendiri. Tulisan ini bermaksud mencari tahu mengapa praktek mendengar keterangan ahli hukum dalam persidangan Mahkamah Konstitusi dilakukan. Selain itu, tulisan ini juga bermaksud untuk memberi masukan dalam hukum acara agar peran ahli hukum yang didengar keterangannya tidak memasuki ranah wewenang majelis hakim dalam menafsirkan konstitusi. Dalam rangka mencapai tujuan penulisan, pembahasan dalam tulisan ini dibagi dalam empat bagian yaitu (i) mengidentifikasi kriteria siapa yang disebut sebagai ahli; (ii) melihat kedudukan keterangan ahli sebagai alat bukti dan bagaimana majelis hakim menilai alat bukti tersebut; (iii) menelisik pengaruh keterangan ahli dalam pengambilan putusan oleh majelis hakim konstitusi dalam praktek selama ini, dan (iv) mengukur apakah keterangan ahli hukum masih dibutuhkan dalam proses persidangan di Mahkamah Konstitusi. The Constitutional Court has often heard the opinion of legal experts as part of the examination of evidence. This is a common practice that was taken for granted. The very notion of having legal experts opinion in a forum led by judges who considered tohave meet the qualification to be an experts in constitutional law is implicitly, means questioning the experties of the constitutional judges itselves. This paper intends to find out why the practice of hearing the legal experts opinion in the trial of the Constitutional Court still occurs. In addition, this paper also intends to provide input in the procedural law so that the role of legal experts does not enter the domain of the judges in interpreting the constitution. In order to achieve the objectives, the discussion in this paper is divided into four parts, (i) identifying the criteria of who is qualified as an expert; (ii) assess the position of expert\u27s opinion as evidence and how the panel of judges evaluate the evidence; (iii) examine the influence of expert opinion in decision making, and (iv) measure whether legal experts opinion is still necessary in the trial of the Constitutional Court
Penggunaan Global Positioning System dalam Tafsir Konstitusional Hak atas Informasi
Get PDFConstitutional Court Decision Number 23/PUU-XVI/2018 has become the most waited decision by the society as the user of technology in driving, more specifically the use of Global Positioning System (GPS). There are at least 2 (two) main issues which are debated in the submission of the application of the constitutional testing of Article 106 paragraph (1) and Article 283 of Law 22/2009. First, the use of GPS is needed by the society so that it has become a part of the fulfillment of economical right. Second, the effort of protection of public order is being maintained by the former of Law 22/2009. A normative judicial method was used based on the legal principles, the ongoing regulations, and the consideration of the court on the legal issues being discussed. The court in the consideration gave a philosophical historical analysis on the existence of both rules of law as the base to understand the important meaning of the ban on the activity that causes distractions in driving on the street. Strangely, the court did not directly state that the use of GPS was definitely included in the second scope of both rules of law. The use of GPS needs to be case studied as an action that distracts concentration. Although the court finally stated that the application was denied, the decision gave a balanced understanding on the need of GPS as the navigation system while driving and the protection of the road users.
Penghapusan Kriminalisasi Terhadap Hakim dan Jaksa dalam Rangka Mewujudkan Sinkronisasi Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak
Get PDFIn connection with the submission of judicial review to the Constitutional Court conducted by the Indonesian Judges Association (IKAHI) and the Indonesian Prosecutors Association (IJI), this research aims to examine the criminalization of Judges and Prosecutors in the Criminal Justice System as regulated in Act Number 11 of 2012 about the Juvenile Criminal System. This type of research is descriptive normative juridical, namely inventorying the legislation through the statute approach and conceptual approach to develop legal arguments and legal opinions in solving legal issues. Whereas legal material collection techniques (primary, secondary and tertiary) use literature study and analysis with deductive thinking logic. The results showed that the submission of the judicial review submission by the Constitutional Court was appropriate because Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Child Criminal Justice System is a form of protection and enforcement of children’s rights in the criminal justice process so that criminalization efforts against officers and law enforcement officers, especially against Judges (Article 96, Article 100 and Article 101) and Prosecutors (Article 99) will influence the criminal justice system. In addition, the principles of criminalization must be considered, namely the principles of legality, the principle of subsidiarity and the principle of equality or equality so as to realize structural synchronization, substantial synchronization and cultural synchronization in the juvenile justice system
Pembatasan Kekuasaan Amendemen Konstitusi: Teori, Praktik di Beberapa Negara dan Relevansinya di Indonesia
Get PDFIn comparative constitutional law, the doctrine of unconstitutional constitutional amendments has in recent years attracted wide attention among scholars. The consequence of the doctrine is that there are limits to constitutional amendments. This paper seeks to explore theories that explain how authorities to amend the constitution may be limited. In addition, it also discusses the practice of the doctrine of countries such as Germany, India and Colombia. Drawing from the experiences of these countries, it attempts to answer whether the doctrine can be used in the Indonesian constitutional system. It argues that under the 1945 Indonesian Constitution, there exist unamendable provisions. Therefore, the Constitutional Court might adopt the view that there are limits to constitutional amendments in Indonesia if there was a constitutional amendment to unamendable provisions. This doctrinal legal research uses normative legal and comparative approaches
Model Rekrutmen Penyelenggara Pemilu yang Independen dan Berintegritas di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta
Get PDFThis study aims to find a model for the recruitment of election administrators with integrity and independence in the Special Region of Yogyakarta using qualitative research. The underlying problem is the large number of reports on election organizers who are not independent and have not integrity in various regions. To uncover these problems, the qualitative research with statutory, analytical, and case approaches is used. The results show that the recruitment model in the Law Number 12 Year 2008 still involves executive power (Governor or Regent/ Mayor), while the Law Number 15 Year 2011 and the Law Number 7 Year 2017 have better recruitment model and measurable process. The recruitment system contained in the Law Number 7 of 2017 is quite ideal, among the advantages of this system is that there is public involvement in the recruitment process, so the recruitment results are more accountable. Moreover, the current system is through the formation of a Selection Team consisting of academics, professionals, and community leaders who have integrity. However, some weaknesses still need to be fixed, namely: (1) the recruitment of the Selection Team must be conducted openly, (2) the integration of the CAT system in writing to ensure that candidates for election management have good theoretical and practical capabilities; (3) involvement of Provincial KPU and Provincial Bawaslu to select and determine candidates for election at Regency/ City level; (4) increasing public awareness that the Electoral Management Body (EMB) is an independent and professional institution so that political preferences can be eliminated

Konsistensi Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam Pengujian Beberapa Undang-Undang Terkait Kesehatan
Get PDF Timbulnya pengakuan kesehatan sebagai hak asasi menunjukan perubahan paradigma yang luar biasa, karena kesehatan tidak lagi dipandang hanya sebagai urusan pribadi namun sebagai bentuk tanggung jawab negara dan hak hukum (legal rights). Tujuan diberlakukannya berbagai undang-undang terkait kesehatan adalah untuk memberikan jaminan konstitusionalitas hak atas kesehatan, namun dengan diberlakukannya berbagai undang-undang tersebut tidak berarti terjaminnya hak konstitusional atas kesehatan, hal ini tergambar dengan banyaknya uji materi terhadap berbagai undang-undang tersebut. Banyaknya permohonan uji materi tersebut menarik untuk diteliti terhadap prinsip-prinsip atau asas-asas yang melandasi materi muatan berbagai undang-undang terkait kesehatan dan konsistensi antar putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) dan konsistensi Putusan MK dengan prinsip atau asas yang melandasi materi muatan undang-undang terkait kesehatan. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif disimpulkan bahwa prinsip-prinsip atau asas mempunyai arti penting sebagai landasan materi undang-undang sehingga dapat dijadikan sebagai batu uji dalam melakukan pengujian undang-undang. Kesimpulan lainnya yakni terdapat inkonsistensi antar putusan MK dan inkonsistensi putusan MK dengan prinsip atas asas yang melandasi materi muatan berbagai undang-undang terkait kesehatan.The emergence of the recognition of health as a human right shows an extraordinary paradigm shift, because health is no longer seen only as a private matter but as a form of state responsibility and legal rights. The purpose of the enactment of various laws related to health is to provide a constitutional guarantee of the right to health, however, the enactment of these various laws does not mean the guarantee of constitutional rights to health, this is showed by the number of judicial review of various laws. The number of requests for material tests is interesting to be examined on the principles that underlie the contents of various health related to laws and consistency between decisions of the Constitutional Court (MK) and consistency of decisions of the Constitutional Court to the principles that underlie the content of laws related to health. By using the normative juridical research method, it can be concluded that principles have an important meaning as a basis for the material of the law so that they can be used as a touchstone in conducting the testing of laws. Another conclusion is that there are inconsistencies between the Constitutional Court\u27s decisions and the inconsistency of the Constitutional Court\u27s decision to the principle on the basis of the material content of various laws related to health
Problematika Kebijakan Hukum Terbuka (Open Legal Policy) Masa Jabatan Hakim Konstitusi
Get PDFDiscourse about periodization of the term of office of the Constitutional Court judge ended at the Constitutional Court Decision Number 53/PUU-XIV/2016 and Number 73/PUU-XIV/2016 which transferred the authority of regulating the term of the constitutional judge to be fully regulated by the legislators (open legal polic). This article discusses the problem of the term of office of the Constitutional Court judge, if it is regulated as an open legal policy for the quality of the independence of judicial power held by the Constitutional Court. This article was prepared based on the results of normative legal research using the statutory approach. This article provides two conclusions. First, the open legal policy in determining the periodization of the term of constitutional judge has the potential to reduce the degree of independence of the judicial power. Second, a relatively long period of time is an ideal concept for the term of office of constitutional judge. The term of office of constitutional judge should be aligned with the Supreme Court’s tenure
Perlindungan Pengetahuan Tradisional sebagai Hak Konstitusional di Indonesia
