Abstract: The judicial appointment process is one of essential elements for maintaining judicial independence and public confidence of a court. This article analyses the practices of judicial appointment process exercised by three different main state institutions in selecting constitutional justice in Indonesia where the mechanism and process for selecting them have been implemented differently. It also examines the tenure of constitutional justice, which is a five-year term and can be renewed for one term only, that may lead to another problem concerning the reselection process of incumbent constitutional justices for their second term. The article concludes that the judicial appointment process and tenure of constitutional justice in Indonesia have to be improved. It suggests that if the proposing state institutions could not meet the principles of transparency, participation, objective and accountable required by the Constitutional Court Law, the judicial appointment process should be conducted by creating an independent Selection Committee or establishing a cooperation with the Judicial Commission. Additionally, the tenure of constitutional justices should also be revised for a unrenewable term with a longer period of nine or twelve years.

Abstract: Penyempurnaan sistem hukum dan konstitusi merupakan prasyarat untuk membangun negara demokrasi konstitusional di Indonesia. Dalam cabang kekuasan kehakiman, salah satu upaya untuk mencapai hal tersebut terkait dengan adanya gagasan pembentukan mekanisme pertanyaan konstitusional (constitusional question). Istilah constitutional question merujuk pada suatu mekanisme pengujian konstitusionalitas di Mahkamah Konstitusi yang diajukan oleh seorang hakim di pengadilan umum yang merasa ragu-ragu terhadap konstitusionalitas suatu undang-undang yang digunakan dalam perkara yang sedang ditanganinya. Artikel ini membahas mengenai kemungkinan dibangunnya mekanisme constitutional question di Indonesia dengan alternatif implementasinya. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan menggunakan bahan kepustakaan. Dari hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa terdapat urgensi untuk menambahkan kewenangan constitutional question kepada Mahkamah Konstitusi. Dengan adanya mekanisme tersebut, putusan hakim di pengadilan umum yang dinilai bertentangan dengan konstitusi dan dianggap melanggar hak konstitusional warga negara dapat dihindari. Kemudian, objek dan ruang pengujian terhadap peraturan perundangundangan menjadi semakin luas dan pelanggaran hak konstitusional terhadap warga negara dapat dipulihkan. Apabila constitutional question akan diterapkan di Indonesia, maka dasar kewenangan constitutional question sebaiknya diatur melalui perubahan konstitusi. Namun, hal tersebut dapat juga dilakukan dengan merevisi Undang-Undang Mahkamah Konstitusi, penafsiran konstitusi yang dituangkan di dalam putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi, ataupun perluasan legal standing untuk lembaga pengadilan sebagai salah satu pemohon constitutional review. Selain itu, perlu juga diatur mengenai kualifikasi pemohon constitutional question dan pembatasan waktu penanganan perkaranya oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi.Improving the legal and constitutional system is a prerequisite for building a constitutional democratic state in Indonesia. In a constitutional adjudication system, one of the efforts to achieve that goal is related to an idea to establish a constitutional question mechanism. The term of constitutional question refers to a mechanism for examining the constitutionality of a law in the Constitutional Court lodged by an ordinary judge who has a doubt regarding the constitutionality of the law applied in the case that is being handled by him/her. This article discusses the possibility of establishing a constitutional question mechanism in Indonesia with its alternative implementations. The methodology used in this research was normative juridical writing with qualitative approach and library research. The research results found the urgency for expanding the authority of constitutional question to the Constitutional Court. With the existence of such mechanism, ordinary court decisions that are contrary to the constitution and violate the constitutional rights of the citizens can be avoided. Moreover, the scope of constitutional review of the legislation becomes expansive and constitutional rights violations can be recovered. If the constitutional question will be applied in Indonesia, the basis of the authority of constitutional question should be regulated through a constitutional amendment. However, it can be applied also by revising the Constitutional Court Law, the constitutional interpretation set forth in the Constitutional Court decision or the extension of legal standing for ordinary courts as one of the applicants for constitutional review. In addition, it is necessary to regulate the applicant’s qualification of constitutional question and time limitation for handling constitutional question cases by the Constitutional Court.

Abstract: Nowadays there is a tendency in many countries to protect the environment by incorporating general principles of environment into a state or a regional constitution. This article aims to examine the extent to which environmental protection can be provided through the adoption of those constitutional norms. This study was conducted using a qualitative methodology with a normative approach and library research derived from court decisions, law and regulations, books and journal articles. It concludes that the Indonesian Constitution contains constitutional norms for the environmental protection. However, these constitutional norms are still positioned as a subsidiary or supporting factor in the fulfillment of human rights and the national economy. In order to strengthen the environmental protection by the Indonesian Constitution, it requires a reformulation of related constitutional norms by positioning the environment more as the basic values in the state administration and national economic activities.

Abstract: Proses pemakzulan atau pemberhentian Presiden menurut UUD 1945 melibatkan secara aktif tiga lembaga negara berbeda, yaitu DPR, Mahkamah Konstitusi, dan MPR. Proses akhir dari pemberhentian Presiden bukanlah di tangan Mahkamah Konstitusi, namun terletak pada sidang istimewa MPR yang terdiri dari anggota DPR dan anggota DPD. Dengan demikian, anggota MPR yang berasal dari anggota DPD sebenarnya memiliki peran terbatas secara perorangan untuk turut serta menentukan pemberhentian Presiden karena tidak melibatkan DPD secara kelembagaan sebagai kamar kedua parlemen (second chamber). Oleh karenanya, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan analisis perbandingan mengenai sejauh mana peran kamar kedua parlemen dan kekuasaan kehakiman dalam proses pemberhentian Presiden di lima belas negara berbeda, baik terhadap negara yang menggunakan sistem pemerintahan presidensial, sistem parlementer, ataupun sistem c uran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui pendekatan perbandingan konstitusi dengan bersumber pada studi kepustakaan. Berdasarkan analisis perbandingan yang dilakukan maka diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa kamar kedua parlemen di banyak negara memiliki peran sangat penting dalam menentukan pemberhentian Presiden. Kemudian, sebagian besar negara yang diteliti juga turut melibatkan kekuasaan kehakimannya melalui Mahkamah Konstitusi, Mahkamah Agung, atau Dewan Konstitusi. Lembaga ini menilai usulan atau dakwaan dari parlemen mengenai bersalah atau tidaknya Presiden atas dugaan pelanggaran konstitusi atau kejahatan pidana lainnya. Meskipun demikian, negara-negara tersebut umumnya tetap menyerahkan keputusan akhir mengenai pemberhentian Presiden kepada parlemen.The impeachment process against the President according to the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia actively involves three different state institutions, namely the House of Representative (DPR), the Constitutional Court (MK), and the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR). The final process of the impeachment in Indonesia is not in the hand of the Constitutional Court, but it lies in a Special Session of the MPR consisting of members of the DPR and members of the Regional Representative Council (DPD). Thus, the in idual role of the MPR members who come from the DPD members to participate in determining the impeachment of the President is limited because it does not involve the DPD institutionally as the second chamber of parliament. Therefore, this research aims to provide a comparative analysis concerning the roles of the second chamber of parliament and judicial power in the impeachment process against the President in fifteen countries that implement three different systems of government, which are the presidential system, the parliamentary system, and the semi-presidential system. This research used a qualitative method and a comparative constitutional approach based on a literature study. It concluded that the second chamber of parliament in various countries has very important roles in deciding the impeachment process of the President. Moreover, the judicial powers through the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court or the Constitutional Council also involved in deciding whether the President is guilty of the alleged violations against the constitution or common criminal offenses. Nevertheless, in most of the countries studied, the final decision on the impeachment process based on the Court’s decision is still given to the parliament.

Abstract: Indonesia implements dualism of judicial review system because there are two different judicial institutions that are granted the authority to review laws and regulations, namely the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court. This research aims to analyse the problems caused by the dualism of judicial review system. It found two main legal problems of the current system. First, there is an inconsistency of decisions concerning judicial review cases for the same legal issues decided by the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court. Second, there is no mechanism to review the constitutionality of People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) decisions and regulations under the level of law. Based on these findings, this research suggests that the authority to review all laws and regulations should be integrated under the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court.Keywords: Constitutional Court, Constitutional Review, Judicial Review

Abstract: Artikel ini membahas peran Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam memperkuat prinsip-prinsip demokrasi di Indonesia, khususnya prinsip Pemilu yang teratur, bebas, dan adil (regular, free and fair elections). Analisis dilakukan terhadap putusan-putusan monumental (landmark decisions) dalam pengujian konstitusionalitas undang-undang yang dikeluarkan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi terkait dengan penyelenggaraan Pemilu. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada metodologi kualitatif dengan menggunakan studi kepustakaan yang bersumber dari putusan-putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi, peraturan perundang-undangan, buku, dan artikel jurnal ilmiah. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa Mahkamah Konstitusi telah turut membentuk politik hukum terkait dengan sistem Pemilu di Indonesia dan berbagai aturan pelaksanaannya. Selain itu, Mahkamah Konstitusi juga telah memperkuat prinsip Pemilu yang teratur, bebas, dan adil dengan cara melindungi hak pilih warga negara, menjamin persamaan hak warga negara untuk dipilih, menentukan persamaan syarat partai politik sebagai peserta Pemilu, menyelamatkan suara pemilih, menyempurnakan prosedur pemilihan dalam Pemilu, dan menjaga independensi penyelenggara Pemilu.This article discusses the Constitutional Court’s role in strengthening the principles of democracy in Indonesia, particularly the principle of regular, free, and fair elections. An analysis was conducted towards landmark decisions declared by the Constitutional Court regarding general elections. This research is based on qualitative research by undertaking library-based research using the Court’s decisions, legislations, books and journal articles. It concludes that the Constitutional Court has established legal policies concerning electoral system in Indonesia and other related implementing regulations. Furthermore, the Constitutional Court has also strengthened the principle of regular, free and fair elections by protecting citizens’ right to vote, guaranteeing equal right of citizens to be elected, determining the same requirements for political party participating in the elections, saving citizen’s votes, improving electoral procedures and maintaining the independence of election organisers.

Abstract: A jurisdiction of the Indonesian Constitutional Court concerning constitutional adjudication is only limited to review the constitutionality of national law. There is no mechanism for challenging any decision or action made by public authorities that violate fundamental rights enshrined in the Indonesian Constitution. This article argues that constitutional complaint and constitutional question might be adopted as new jurisdictions of the Indonesian Constitutional Court in order to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights of its citizen. It also identifies main problems that will be faced by the Constitutional Court in exercising constitutional complaint and constitutional question. For instance, the Court will be burdened with too many cases as experienced by other countries. A clear mechanism for filtering applications lodged to the Constitutional Court and the time limit for deciding cases are important elements that have to be regulated to overcome the problems. In addition, the institutional structure of the Constitutional Court has to be improved, particularly to support its decision- making process.

Abstract: Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) Nomor 30/PUU-XVI/2018 bertanggal 23 Juli 2018 menjadi salah satu putusan penting bagi desain lembaga perwakilan di Indonesia. Dalam Putusan tersebut, MK menyatakan bahwa pengurus partai politik dilarang menjadi calon anggota Dewan Perwakilan Daerah. Namun, tindak lanjut dari Putusan ini memicu polemik ketatanegaraan. Sebab, terjadi kontradiksi mengenai waktu pemberlakuan larangan tersebut akibat adanya perbedaan pemaknaan terhadap Putusan MK di dalam Putusan MA Nomor 64/P/HUM/2018, Putusan PTUN Nomor 242/G/SPPU/2018/PTUN-JKT, dan Putusan Bawaslu Nomor 008/LP/PL/ADM/RI/00/XII/2018. MK secara eksplisit menyatakan bahwa Putusannya berlaku sejak Pemilu 2019. Akan tetapi, Putusan MA, Putusan PTUN, dan Putusan Bawaslu menyatakan larangan tersebut berlaku setelah Pemilu 2019. Artikel ini mengkaji kontradiksi Putusan-Putusan tersebut dengan menggunakan tiga pisau analisis, yaitu: (1) finalitas putusan (2) respons terhadap putusan dan (3) validitas atau keberlakuan norma. Dengan menggunakan doktrin responsivitas terhadap putusan pengadilan dari Tom Ginsburg, artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa Keputusan KPU yang tetap kukuh untuk memberlakukan larangan bagi pengurus partai politik sebagai calon anggota DPD sejak Pemilu tahun 2019 sesungguhnya merupakan tindakan yang formal konstitusional karena telah mengikuti (comply) penafsiran konstitusional yang terkandung di dalam Putusan MK. Di lain sisi, tindakan KPU juga merupakan bentuk yang secara sekaligus mengabaikan (ignore) Putusan MA, Putusan PTUN, dan Putusan Bawaslu. Meskipun demikian, respons KPU tersebut dapat dibenarkan karena Putusan MK memiliki objek dan dasar pengujian lebih tinggi dalam hierarki peraturan perundang-undangan, sehingga memiliki validitas atau keberlakuan hukum yang lebih tinggi pula dibandingkan dengan Putusan MA, Putusan PTUN, atau Putusan Bawaslu. Dengan demikian, tindakan KPU yang konsisten mengikuti Putusan MK tersebut merupakan respons konstitusional yang memiliki justifikasi hukum dan konstitusi.

Abstract: A transformative amendment of the 1945 Constitution established a separate judicial institution called the Constitutional Court. This institution is believed to serve a strategic role within Indonesia’s plural legal system particularly in the area of constitutional review and constitutional rights protection. However, the performance of the Constitutional Court has attracted controversy. This controversy arises because the Court is concerned with introducing a sociological paradigm of law that embraces substantive justice with a fluid acknowledgment of procedural justice. A key criticism of the Constitutional Court is that the nature of Court decisions has developed into a practice of judicial activism. This article discusses the dimension of judicial activism used by the Constitutional Court on the grounds for protecting constitutional rights of the citizens through its decisions. It also analyses the extent of judicial activism that can be justified in the decision-making process in the Constitutonal Court.
