PENEGAKAN HUKUM DI INDONESIA: APAKAH INDONESIA NEGARA HUKUM?

Abstract

Abstract
Law problems are not finished yet until Indonesia entering its reformation era. Although
Indonesia actually is the Constitutional State, constitution has failed to provide protection
to the people. Supremacy of Law which is mandated by the Constitution 1945 is failed to be
conducted, while law apparatus like public prosecutors, judges, polices and lawyers are
involved playing the law. And then term as Law Mafia becomes familiar for public. The
government has initiated various efforts to solve the law problems by making the National
Law Commission, Corruption Eradication Commission, Judicial Commission, Special Task
Force for Law Mafia, etc but it seems that it’s need a long time to improve the law
enforcement in Indonesia. But, law enforcement is still far from the ideals of rechts idée,
and the aim of the State Law (Homeland/NKRI) as contained in the preamble of the
Constitution paragraph four: developing the intellectual life of the Indonesian nation;
creating more prosperous life or public welfare, and the fourth principle of Pancasila that is
realizing social justice for all the people of Indonesia.
