In this year- end edition, Constitutional Review presents six articles discussing various topics such as the idea of strong state and the protection of human rights, the incorporation of some ideas into the provision of the constitution, the analysis of constitutional court decision and some insights in the process and substance of constitutional amendment. We expect that these articles will provoke further discussion among our readers, jot down their ideas and present them in the future editions of Constitutional review. The idea of strong state is needed to protect human rights. On the other hand, the lack of stateness might cause failure of a democratic state to protect human rights. This is a weakness that occurs in Indonesia. In the case of Indonesian democracy, Zezen Zaenal Mutaqin, the author of the first article argues that the ambiguity in the interpretation of Pancasila (the Five-Principles) as the indonesian ideology proves to be the principal cause of the weakness. Constitutionalizing budget for education paves the way to challenge government policy to the Constitutional Court if the government fails to fulfill this obligation. Andy Omara, the author of the second article, presents a discussion on the two aspects of this constitutionalization of national education budget in Indonesian Constitution. First, the background and second, its judicial Contents enforcement in the Constitutional Court. In his writing, the author raises argument on those two aspects which are the proper funding of the national education and the legal and extralegal approach taken by Constitutional Court in examining some judicial review cases concerning this matter. The third article is co-authored by Fajar Laksono and Oly Viana Agustine. The article deals with the election design in Indonesia based on a decision of Constitutional Court, decision No. 14/PUU-XI/2013, on the constitutionality review of presidential election law. The authors are of the opinion that the decision poses fundamental changes to the design of general election. Based on the decision, the authors argue that general election, both presidential election and the election of members of representative bodies, should be held simultaneously. The fourth article, written by Winda Wijayanti, deals with the issue on the importance of birth certificate. The author discusses the decision of Constitutional Court No. 18/PUU-XI/2013. In this decision the Constitutional Court emphasizes that government should take an active role in the registration of birth. Through this decision the Constitutional Court removes the deadline to report the birth of a child. The form of unitary state and the Preamble of the Constitution are things that cannot be amended in the constitutional amendment of the Republic of Indonesia. The first is expressly stated in the Article 37 paragraph (5) of the Constitution while the latter is stated implicitly. Luthfi Widagdo Eddyono discusses this issue in the fifth article of this edition. The author, in this writing, provides interesting finding based on his analysis, the original intent of this unamendable provision of the Costitution. Architecture of Indonesia’s checks and balances is presented in the last article of this edition. In this article, Ibnu Sina Chandranegara, provides analysis on the aspects of checks and balances including its portion and posture based on its incorporation into the Constitution. iv Constitutional Review, December 2016, Volume 2, Number 2 Keywords Keywords are derived from the article This abstract page may be photocopied without prior permission and free of charge Zezen Zaenal Mutaqin The Strong State and Pancasila: Reflecting Human Rights in the Indonesian Democracy Constitutional Review Vol. 2 No. 2 pp. 159-188 The rights of every Indonesian citizens are protected by the 1945 Constitution. Does the reality matches with the normative regulations? Does democratization improves the protection of human rights especially in term of the religious freedom? We find that there is a discrepancy between the ideal written constitution and the reality. In this following essay I argue that the failure of Indonesian democratic regimes to protect human rights is the result of the lack of “stateness”. The ideal of “stateness” is referring to Fukuyama idea that is “the ability of state to plan and execute policies and to enforce law”. I will present the argument that the weakness of the administration cause by an ambiguity in the interpretation of the Indonesia ideology, Pancasila (the Five-Principles). This paper will firstly discuss the idea of strong state and its relation to the protection of human rights. Alongside the theoretical examination of the concept, I will discuss the weakness of democratic regimes in Indonesia to protect human rights. This will be followed by an examination of the core argument of the paper, argue that the principle cause of the state weakness lies on the ambiguity of the administration to interpret Pancasila.

  • Embedded Judicial Autonomy: How Ngos and Public Opinion Influence
    Embedded Judicial Autonomy: How NGOs and Public Opinion Influence Indonesia's Constitutional Court by Dominic J. Nardi, Jr. A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) in The University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Allen D. Hicken, Chair Associate Professor John D. Ciorciari Professor Thomas B. Ginsburg, University of Chicago Professor Walter R. Mebane, Jr. Dominic J. Nardi, Jr. [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-9414-2071 c Dominic J. Nardi, Jr. 2018 For the lawyers advocating on behalf of legal reform and social justice in Indonesia. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Despite the popular stereotype of the lonely scholar toiling away in the Ivory Tower, throughout my time at the University of Michigan I found that great scholarship requires the support of a community. I benefitted from the academic insights, financial assistance, and emotional support of numerous people around the world during the past seven years. First and foremost, I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, who have guided and put up with me for almost half a decade. It has been a honor for me to work with such an extraordinary group of scholars. When I first arrived at the University of Michigan, several students told me that I was fortunate to focus on Southeast Asia because I would have the opportunity to work with Allen Hicken. Allen has been incredibly supportive over the years, both as a dissertation chairman and as a mentor. He helped me navigate the sometimes intimidating world of academia and made me feel I wasn't alone in this endeavor.

A Critical Analysis of Judicial Appointment Process and Tenure of Constitutional Justice in Indonesia Pan Mohamad Faiz TC Beirne School of Law, the University of Queensland The University of Queensland, St. Lucia Campus, Australia Tel./Fax: +61-7-3365-2206 E-mail: [email protected] Submitted: May 26, 2016; Reviewed: Jul 14, 2016; Accepted: Jul 21, 2016 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.
