Previously, the Applicant considers detrimental by Article 353 Act of Military Courts, which stated ““This Act shall take effect on the date of enactment. Specifically on Military Administrative Procedural law, its implementation is regulated by Government Regulation not later than 3 years after the enactment of this Act.” (“Undang-undang ini mulai berlaku pada tanggal diundangkan, khusus mengenai Hukum Acara Tata Usaha Militer, penerapannya diatur dengan Peraturan Pemerintah selambat-lambatnya 3 (tiga) tahun sejak Undang-Undang ini diundangkan”). The Applicant assesses the provision is not implemented correctly.

The Government Regulation referred in the Article shall be made not later than three years; however the regulation is yet established until now. The Applicant argues the lack of Government Regulation aforementioned cause legal uncertainty.
