JAKARTA, Public Relations of the Constitutional Court—The Constitutional Case Resolution is a program of the Constitutional Court (MK) directly related to the implementation of the constitutional duties and authorities of the Constitutional Court as a constitutional justice institution, said Secretary General of the Constitutional Court M. Guntur Hamzah in a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with the Commission III of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) on Wednesday (24/6/2020) in Jakarta.

The Constitutional Court Work’s and Budget Report for 2021 details that in the coming year the Constitutional Court will work on judicial review (PUU), authority dispute among state institutions (SKLN), disputes on the results of the 2020 regional election, and improving citizens’ understanding of constitutional rights. 

Based on an analysis of the average number and the average increase of past judicial review cases as well as cases on certain issues, it was predicted that in 2021 the Constitutional Court will work on 156 judicial review cases. Up to June 22, 2020, the Court has been handling 75 cases, none of which are SKLN cases.

To prepare and support the implementation of these constitutional duties and authorities, the Court continues to carry out activities, such as study of constitutional cases, research on law and constitution, development of electronic court (e-court) and i-judiciary in the form of online petitions through simpel.mkri.id. 

In 2021, the Court will focus on improving its human resources to improve technical services on justice administration and general administration by building the capacity of the Court staff members who have direct roles in the execution of court hearings and the resolution of constitutional cases, thereby hopefully improving the quality of the Court’s decisions.

The Court continues to strive for bureaucratic reform, which is a necessity that must be met in order to realize better judicial bureaucratic governance. This should be carried out optimally to provide certainty and improve services to justice seekers by developing an appropriate judicial administration supervision system. (Sri Pujianti/LA)
