The fundamental aim of this journal is to disseminate research, conceptual analysis, and other writings which focus on constitutional issues. Articles published by CONSREV cover various topics on constitution, constitutional courts, constitutional courts decisions and issues on constitutional law in any country. In this first edition of Year 2018, six articles are presented by legal and constitutional scholars from various universities. The first article is written by Simon Butt. The author tries to identify the function of judicial dissent in the Indonesia’s Constitutional Court. The explanation of the article is preceded by providing literature related to the judicial dissent. Then, the author shows some weaknesses and followed by ways how the Court employs dissents. The second article written by Tim Lindsey discusses the Indonesia’s Constitutional Court and the review of regulation in a split jurisdiction. He argues that the Court should follow the Korean Constitutional Court to prevent the possibility of constitutionalism being subverted by unconstitutional subordinate regulations. Note From Editors The next author is Giri Ahmad Taufik. He provides an article about the dissolution of one of societal organizations in Indonesia, namely Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI). The explanation of the topic uses a proportionality test in interpreting the limitation clause and applies it to the questions of HTI and broader issues to evaluate recent moves of Indonesian government in amending the Law Number 17 Year 2013 on Societal Organization. The following article is written by Desi Hanara. The focus of her article is about human rights in the Asian judiciary. She proposes that any court’s consideration should encourage judicial independence, recommend human rights incorporation into judicial discussions and decisions, suggest the establishment of a platform to enhance human rights expertise of the judiciary, and provide a platform for the development of binding human rights instruments and the establishment of an Asian Human Rights Court. The fifth article focuses on liberal democracy and Asian values in contemporary Indonesia written by Muhammad Bahrul Ulum and Nilna Aliyan Hamida. The authors examined the complex and contentious relationship between constitutionalism and integralism in the Indonesian government including the criticism of democratization within the contemporary state. In the end of the article, it is proposed that the adoption of human rights and liberal democracy by Indonesian government is often challenged by the spirit of integralism. The last article is written by Putra Perdana Ahmad Saifulloh. He suggests that the Indonesia’s Constitutional Court should be given an additional authority to give a consideration during the dissolution process of societal organization by the government. He argues that the Court as a neutral judicial institution should have the authority to consider whether a societal organization should be dissolved. Finally, the editors expect that this issue might give some new insight, judgement, and understanding on constitutions, constitutional court decisions, and constitutional issues in broader nature to our readers. Editors iv Constitutional Review, May 2018, Volume 4, Number 1 Abstract The Function of Judicial Dissent in Indonesia’s Constitutional Court Simon Butt Constitutional Review, Vol. 4, No. 1, May 2018, pp. 001-026 Indonesian judges are permitted to issue dissenting opinions. Constitutional Court judges regularly hand them down. However, neither judges nor academics have outlined the purposes of dissenting opinions in Indonesia. This article aims to promote discussion about what these purposes are, or should be, in Indonesia, with a view to increasing the utility of dissents. It begins by considering the international scholarly literature details some purposes recognised in other countries, such as increased transparency and accountability, but also some disadvantages, such as the perceived weakness of a divided court. It then considers how the Constitutional
