JAKARTA (MKRI) — Constitutional Justice Enny Nurbaningsih delivered a presentation on “Internalizing Pancasila in Constitutional Court Decisions” at a public discussion on Drafting Policy Directions for Internalization and Institutionalization of Pancasila in Law, Advocacy, and Regulatory Oversight organized  by the Agency for Pancasila Ideology Education (BPIP) on Friday, November 25, 2022 at the Tribrata Darmawangsa Building, Jakarta.

She explained the hierarchy of statutory legislation, which comprises the 1945 Constitution, the Decrees of the People’s Consultative Assembly (Tap MPR), Government Regulations in Lieu of Laws (Perppu), Government Regulations (PP), Presidential Regulations (Perpres), the Provincial Government Regulations (Perda), and the Regency/City Government Regulations (Perda).

She then explained the Constitutional Court’s authorities to adjudicate laws against the 1945 Constitution at the first and last instance with decisions that are final, to settle authority disputes between state institutions whose authorities were granted by the 1945 Constitution, to decide the dissolution of political parties, and to settle disputes over general election results.

It is also obligated to decide the House’s opinion on an alleged violation of law committed by the president and/or vice president according to the Constitution. In addition, based on Decision No.  85/PUU-XX/2022, the Court is also authorized to settle disputes over the certification of the election of governors, regents, and mayors (regional election).

“Through its authorities, the Constitutional Court has contributed a lot to the administration, the protection of the citizens’ constitutional rights, and constitutional democracy in Indonesia. The final and binding decisions of the Constitutional Court are references for the legislatures to form and amend national law since they have strategic values of authoritative interpretations of the Constitution, given that the 1945 Constitution post-amendment no longer have elucidation,” Justice Enny explained alongside moderator Kemas Akhmad Tajuddin, Deputy for Law, Advocacy, and Regulation Monitoring.

She also talked about the citizens’ constitutional rights (HKWN), which the Court has condensed into 66 icons consisting of 34 icons of individual rights, 29 icons of collective rights, and 3 icons of the rights of vulnerable people. After the presentation, the participants were given the opportunity to ask questions on the Constitutional Court and HKWN.
