Problematika Peraturan Mahkamah Konstitusi dan Implikasinya
Full text linkThe position of the Constitutional Court Regulation (PMK) in the hierarchy of laws and regulations is not strictly regulated, so it is not known where it is located, or which institution has the right to conduct a judicial review of it. Therefore, this study will examine three things, namely: (i) the position of PMK; (ii) the implications of PMK that have not been promulgated; and (iii) the institution entitled to conduct a judicial review of PMK. The research method used is the normative legal research method. The result is that PMK has a "conditional" position equivalent to a presidential regulation because it has the same function. Despite having the same "conditional" position, the PMK has so far not been able to be tested by any institution because it has not been promulgated in the State Gazette, which should also imply that it cannot bind the public. Therefore, PMK should be promulgated in the State Gazette to bind the public, and the institution entitled to examine it is the Supreme Court. That way, the parties to the proceedings at the Constitutional Court will obtain legal certainty and protection

Full text linkThe constitution states that as long as the customary law community unit and its traditional rights are still alive and in accordance with the development of society and the principles of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia, the state recognizes and respects it. However, many problems faced by indigenous peoples have made them aware of their rights, so they have tried several times to make their constitutional rights recognized by positive law.

Prinsip Isonomi di Indonesia: Filosofi, Makna, dan Perbandingan
Full text linkThe regulation of the principle of isonomy in Article 28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and its derivative laws without an explanation of its meaning has implications for misunderstanding what it means. This study seeks answers to the philosophical question and the meaning of the isonomy principle and compares it with the isonomy principle in English law which is based on the rule of law. Using theoretical research, three answers were obtained. The social contract which contains an agreement on the surrender of natural rights to enforce law by individuals to the state and places individuals in the same position and treatment in law enforcement by the state becomes a philosophy of isonomy principles. The principle of isonomy in Indonesia is based on distributive justice where equal treatment before the law means proportionality with regard to people\u27s class, position, achievements, and functions of people in the social order. In English law, the principle of isonomy is based on commutative justice where all people regardless of class, position, social status or function, they are under the same law and justice.
