Legal reform is actually in the reform agenda we are in the year 98, although people call it political reform. Actually essentially aims to uphold the rule of law are correct. There is no point in us making a new politic that format is not able to support the law and do what is conceived in the political reform.

It is similarly uttered by Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK) Moh. Mahfud MD when initiating a conversation in a National Seminar on "Dynamics of State Implementation of Indonesian Law and Challenges in the Era of Reform" at the University of Atma Jaya Yogyakarta Bonaventure on Saturday (8/9). The seminar was held to commemorate the anniversary of Atma Jaya Yogyakarta University 47th and the 67th Anniversary of the daily newspapers Sovereignty of the People.

Mahfud said that at the moment we are experiencing a setback. Right now, from 2004 to the present, democratic politics becomes the oligarchic politics, which means that political decisions have been dominated by political elites who then exchanged one another. In addition, it is holding each other with each other, but, secretly also common conspiracy among the political figures. So that many of our political issues are difficult to resolve.

"Legislation in the fields of politics and law enforcement, the most widely tested and most widely granted by the Constitutional Court, because there is a background of fraud against the political rights of the people," said Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia since 2008.

Mahfud added, that when politics turns into political oligarchic democracy then the law would also be unkind. That means more support for elite interests. If we talk about the development of law in the framework of the rule of law now, so when we talk about the substance of the law in general is good. For example, the law of human rights is complete, most important was ratified almost entirely fall within the Constitution 45.

Substantially court also experienced remarkable changes. If the first trial is often open doors intervention by the government, it was declared the reform era are independent judiciary is not only functional but also financially from the government, so that the judges in the Supreme Court and we also have established new institutions, namely the Corruption Eradication Commission, the Commission Judicial and Constitutional Court.

"The fundamental issues of political democracy turned into a politically oligarchic, led to many legal flaws. Many game laws that have been set by the political elite itself, in ways that are judged to be good,"added Mahfud who is also a Professor of Constitutional Law in UII Yogyakarta.

Problem of law enforcement in Indonesia Mahfud said, are at officials and not on substance. In this law there were toying around with the rough, by bribing, hostage or terrorize judges or prosecutors. Thus causing many problems stalled completion.

"Amputation massively against law enforcement officials in the name of law is one way to uphold the Rule of Law in the country of Indonesia."

Moral and ethical integrity among law enforcement that does not get better, whether it is the prosecutor, lawyer or judge is currently threatens us as a nation. Moral integrity and ethical law enforcement should be made better, because the moral and ethical integrity in law enforcement is very important to realize. (Panji Erawan / hamdi / mh/Yazid.tr)
