    Pengaduan masyarakat ke Komnas HAM RI dari waktu ke waktu terus mengalami peningkatan,  baik  dalam  aspek  kuantitas  dan  kualitas.  Jika  sebelumnya  aktor non – negara dalam hal ini korporasi tidak terlalu menonjol, justru dalam 5 (lima) tahun terakhir pengaduan terhadap dugaan pelanggaran HAM oleh sektor ini memiliki tren yang meningkat, baik dalam industri pertambangan, perkebunan, kehutanan, minyak dan gas. Dengan semakin menguatnya peran korporasi dan di sisi lain negara semakin sulit melakukan kontrol terhadap entitas ini, maka pendekatan HAM untuk memastikan perlindungan dan pemulihan terhadap masyarakat, khususnya yang terdampak menjadi relevan – tidak sekedar menuntut penghormatan korporasi terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan semata.

    President Joko Widodo on November 2, 2020 signed Law No. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation, which is known to the public as the omnibus law. The omnibus law is a simplification mechanism for 79 (seventy nine) laws aimed at encouraging investment and job creation. Various aspirations and objections from the public, in terms of substance and formality were not taken seriously by the government and parliament, instead there were arrests, detentions and suggested a judicial review at the Constitutional Court. The presence of the omnibus law will increase regulatory obesity because it imposes a delegation of 450 (four hundred and fifty) arrangements and further emphasizes the dominance of executive power. The research method used is qualitative with descriptive presentation. Primary legal materials are collected through inquiries from members of parliament and academics/experts, while secondary legal materials are based on reports, journals, books and regulations.

    The judicial system in Indonesia is dynamic and adaptive to the development of science and law, not least within the scope of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, one of which relates to the amicus curiae (friends of the judiciary). In practice, amicus curiae are generally presented in cases or trials that get public attention and the livelihoods of many people, such as the environment, land, labor, and so on. Nevertheless, there is no regulation or Supreme Court Regulation on the application of amicus curiae in the trial, but various practices have occurred within the court. This paper will discuss: (a) how the concept of amicus curiae is in the justice system in several countries, (b) the practice and application of amicus curiae in the judiciary in Indonesia, and (c) the opportunity for the Supreme Court to issue regulations or circulars that seek to regulate the implementation of the amicus curiae as part of legal developments in Indonesia. This writing uses a qualita...

    The complexities of land and natural resource cases involve multiple stakeholders ranging from the government and security forces to corporations. The conflicts that drive these cases are reflected in the Indonesian Commission on Human Rights data and in complaints from civil society. One contributing issue is driven by regulatory factors in the agrarian sector that is not in line with international human rights principles and norms. The analysis of these problems will be described in three discussions: one identifying the meaning of agrarian followed by a model for internalizing human rights instruments and principles in domestic regulations, and one affirming the responsibilities of the State and of corporations in the business. This paper concludes that differences in agrarian terms in various laws cause problems in norms and practices that affect multiple conflicts. Second, it emphasizes the urgency with which key players must evaluate different sectoral rules related to land an...

    Tapping in a human rights perspective is a form of limitation of the right to privacy. As an effort to guarantee human rights protection, tapping as a part of The Interception of Communication Bill arrangements must be following the principles of human rights restrictions. Some of the anomalies in The Interception of Communication Bill appear in vague forms and open up the broad ways of potential violations of individual rights. For this reason, the principles of legality and prudence as a form of control over government actions need to offset the urgency of tapping. Data collection methods use discussions and interviews to enrich and test secondary data findings. This research stipulates that The Interception of Communication Bill use tapping as an induced instrument in criminal law enforcement. At the same time, tapping is regulated regardless of the readiness of the legal apparatus; this naturally raises technical problems in the matter of implementation and opens the door to abu...

    The upsurge of terror attacks in various regions of Indonesia in 2018, gave rise to the government and parliament effort to immediately revise Law No. 15 of 2003, which was considered inadequate in eradicating criminal acts of terrorism. The awareness of all parties involved ultimately accelerates the dynamics of the legislation process. Finally, on June 21, 2018 President Joko Widodo passed Law No. 5 of 2018 as a stronger basis in eradicating criminal acts of terrorism and seeking to proportionally protect human rights. Against those backgrounds, this study will look at (a) the legislation process in the formation of Law No. 5 of 2018, and (b) review of the practice of human rights principles and norms of Law No. 5 of 2018. This study uses a qualitative method, with descriptive normative presentation. Primary data sources are based on interviews with the Chairperson of the Working Committee of Bill on Terrorism, human rights activists, and government representatives. The results of...

    In the history of Indonesia, civil-military relations changed in the reformasi era with the separation of the military and the police, resulting in the removal of the dual-function doctrine and military reform. Despite so, two decades after reformasi has not formed a standard and ideal mechanism to govern civil-military relations within the framework of objective civilian control. This paper addresses issues regarding (a) how the dual-function concept and internal reform within the military; (b) regulatory issues that govern military operations other than war; (c) the ideal model of civil-military relations in Indonesia to ensure democratic life and an overview of the siyāsah sharʻiyyah aspects. Using descriptive qualitative method and conducting discussions with military and human rights experts, this paper demonstrates that military reform in Indonesia after the New Order has not yet been fruitful to accomplish the mission to form professional soldiers. The military is still invol...

    Keberadaan UU Nomor 2 Tahun 2012 tentang Pengadaan Tanah Bagi Pembangunan untuk Kepentingan Umum memberikan legitimasi dan dukungan percepatan pelaksanaan proyek pembangunan infrastruktur yang sedang masif dilakukan pemerintah. Meskipun demikian, secara empiris terdapat implikasi yang bersinggungan dengan hak asasi manusia terutama dalam aspek pengadaan tanah. Data pengaduan di Komnas HAM berkait kasus infrastruktur menjadi indikasi akan persoalan tersebut.  Oleh karena itu penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat norma-norma yang terkandung dalam UU No. 2/2012 dari prespektif HAM dengan mendasarkan pada instrumen dan prinsip hak asasi manusia, termasuk tanggung jawab dengan korporasi/BUMN selaku pelaksana.

This study uses a qualitative method, with descriptive normative presentation. Primary data sources are based on interviews with the Chairperson of the Working Committee of Bill on Terrorism, human rights activists, and government representatives. The results of this study indicate that legally in the legislation process Law No. 5 of 2018 fulfills the established procedures, but the principles and norms of human rights have not become the main reference in the formation of legal material, especially the issue of arrest, detention, the changing from material to formal offences, interception, and inconsistency of criminal justice system through military involvement. Based on this, we need to encourage a limited revision of Law No. 5 of 2018, so that the eradication of terrorism is stronger and human rights principles are respected, as an embodiment of a democratic rule of law.

    Peningkatan aksi teror pada 2018, mendorong pemerintah dan DPR melakukan revisi terhadap UU No. 15 Tahun 2003 yang dinilai tidak cukup memadai dalam pemberantasan tindak pidana terorisme. Kesadaran semua pihak telah mempercepat proses legislasi dan pada 21 Juni 2018 Presiden Joko Widodo mengesahkan UU No. 5 Tahun 2018. UU hasil revisi ini diharapkan lebih memperkokoh dasar pemberantasan tindak pidana terorisme dan melindungi HAM secara lebih proposional. Bertitik tolak pada hal tersebut, kajian ini akan melihat proses legislasi dalam pembentukan UU No. 5 Tahun 2018 dan meninjau penerapan asas dan norma HAM dalam UU No. 5 Tahun 2018. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan penyajian deskriptif normatif. Sumber data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan Ketua Panja RUU Terorisme, aktivis HAM, dan perwakilan pemerintah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan, secara legal formal, proses legislasi UU No. 5 Tahun 2018 memenuhi prosedur yang ditetapkan, namun dari aspek substansial masih belum sepenuhnya selaras dengan asas dan norma HAM, terutama persoalan penangkapan, penahanan, perubahan delik materiil menjadi formil, penyadapan, dan inkonsistensi criminal justice system melalui pelibatan militer. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, revisi terbatas terhadap UU No. 5 Tahun 2018 perlu dilakukan agar penegakan hukum pemberantasan terorisme lebih kuat dan HAM dijunjung tinggi sebagai perwujudan negara hukum demokratis.

    The exisctence of Law Number 2 year 2012 concerning Land Acquisition for Public Interest Development gives the legitimation and support for speeding up the infrastructure development that massively done by the governement. Although, empirically there are some implication that intersect with human rights especially on land acquisition aspect. The denunciation data from Komnas HAM that related to this matter are being used as the indicator. Therefore, this research is concluded to know the norms in UU No. 2/2012 from human right's perspective according to the human right's instruments and principles, including the corporates' responsibility as the developers. This research uses the qualitative method and descriptive approach. Data that used in this research is primary data that collected by doing interview with the victims, government, and the experts, whilst the secondary data are from some literatures. The outcome of this research tell that the human rights are not being the main reference especially on (a) the scope and the definition of public interest so it affects the object acquisition being so wide; (b) reduction of the meaning and the substantion of land acquisition; (c) institutional case and the appraisal that affecting the amount of compensation; (d) the uphold of formal procedure through the adjudication of citizen who want to defend their rights.

    In the history of Indonesia, civil-military relations changed in the reformasi era with the separation of the military and the police, resulting in the removal of the dual-function doctrine and military reform. Despite so, two decades
    after reformasi has not formed a standard and ideal mechanism to govern civil-military relations within the framework of objective civilian control. This paper
    addresses issues regarding (a) how the dual-function concept and internal reform within the military; (b) regulatory issues that govern military operations other than war; (c) the ideal model of civil-military relations in Indonesia to ensure democratic life and an overview of the siyāsah sharʻiyyah aspects. Using descriptive
    qualitative method and conducting discussions with military and human rights experts, this paper demonstrates that military reform in Indonesia after the New Order has not yet been fruitful to accomplish the mission to form professional soldiers. The military is still involved in political and civilian life under the pretext
    that there is no military assistance law. As a consequence, the ideal model of civilian control that puts the military under the control of civilian authority according to
    siyāsah sharʻiyyah principle has not been fully successful and effective.
