Main ideas / lessons

  • Indonesia is a rule-of-law state: the legal system is meant to guide social, national, and state life.
  • Laws follow a hierarchy: rules at lower levels must not conflict with rules at higher levels.
  • Legislation must be prepared correctly using specific principles (clear objectives, appropriate hierarchy/type, clarity of wording, openness, etc.).
  • Different types of regulations solve different needs:
    • The Constitution is the highest source.
    • Laws detail more specific rules.
    • Perpu (emergency regulations) can be issued when urgent needs arise before a regular law can be formed.
    • PP and Perpres further implement policies, each with different scope and purpose.
    • Regional regulations (province/district/city) exist to match local needs.
  • Implementation is multi-stage and involves multiple institutions:
    • formation → implementation → supervision → law enforcement → sanctions
  • Commitment to good lawmaking and governance: coordinated, consistent, open/participatory drafting; periodic evaluation; firm and fair supervision/enforcement without discrimination.

Methodology / structured instructions

A) Memorize the hierarchy/order of legislation in Indonesia

  1. UUD 1945 (UUDNRI 1945) – highest
  2. Decree(s) of MPR (MPR decree / MPR tap)
  3. Law (UU) / Perpu (“law or government regulation in lieu of law”)
  4. Government Regulation (PP)
  5. Presidential Regulation (Perpres)
  6. Provincial Regional Regulations, then District/City Regional Regulations

Key emphasis: lower rules must follow higher rules, and the sequence must not be mixed up (often tested in exams).

B) Principles for preparing legislation (Article 5, Law No. 12/2011)

Legislation (central and regional) must fulfill:

  • Clarity of objectives
  • Correct institutions / forming organs
  • Appropriateness of hierarchy/type and material content (must be implementable)
  • Usability and effectiveness
  • Clarity of formulation
  • Openness (transparent process)

C) Key points on each type of regulation

1) UUD 1945 (Constitution)

  • Source of all laws.
  • Regulates many matters, including:
    • state form/sovereignty, MPR, state government powers, ministries, regions, DPR, DPD/related bodies, elections, finances, audit, judiciary powers
    • territory/citizenship, human rights, religion, defense/security, education/culture
    • economy/social welfare, flag/language/symbols, anthem
    • amendments
  • Amendment rules are tied to basic agreements, such as:
    • not changing the preamble
    • maintaining NKRI (Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia)
    • emphasizing the presidential system
    • keeping the explanation of the Constitution’s normative matters included in the articles/body
    • changes via addendums (amending without discarding the original text)

2) MPR Decrees (MPR tap)

  • Second in hierarchy after the Constitution.
  • Still-in-effect decrees are those made by MPR and MPRS (as emphasized by Law No. 15/2019).

3) Law (UU)

  • Created to regulate matters more in detail than the Constitution.
  • Made by the DPR.
  • The video notes the lawmaking process is generally long (referenced as an infographic).

4) Perpu (Government Regulation in Lieu of Law)

  • Issued by the President in urgent circumstances.
  • “Force majeure” is described as an emergency needing a legal basis quickly.
  • Constitution basis: Article 11 of UUD 1945.
  • Process:
    • President may issue Perpu when circumstances are urgent.
    • The Perpu must be approved by the DPR in the next session.
    • If not approved, the Perpu must be revoked.

5) Government Regulation (PP)

  • Issued by the President to implement laws.
  • Constitutional basis referenced: Article 5 paragraph 2.
  • Three stages described:
    1. Planning: draft PP prepared by the relevant ministry/agency
    2. Drafting: committee drafting between ministries/agencies
    3. Determination & promulgation: PP determined and promulgated by the President

6) Presidential Regulation (Perpres) vs Presidential Decree

  • The subtitles distinguish:
    • Perpres: regulations issued by the President as part of authority in running government.
    • Presidential Decrees (as described): guidance for administrative actions, regulate government structures, and procedures for implementing policies.
  • The video notes:
    • Presidential Decree applies to specific subjects stated in the decree.
    • Some wording suggests Perpres/regulations apply more generally (for everyone/public).

7) Provincial Regional Regulations

  • Used because regions have different potentials; rules cannot be identical everywhere.
  • Proposed draft can be made by the Provincial DPRD or the Governor (reference: Law No. 15/2019).

8) District/City Regional Regulations

  • Similar purpose to provincial regulations to meet each area’s needs.
  • Proposed draft/procedure is similar, but institutions differ:
    • done by the District/City DPRD
    • and the Regent or Mayor

D) Stages and institutions in implementation

Legislation formation (stages)

  • initiation of ideas
  • drafting bills
  • discussions in the DPR
  • ratification and promulgation by the President

Implementation

  • After regulations are passed and enacted

E) Commitment to implementing the hierarchy and good governance

(Law No. 12/2011 updated by 15/2019 and 13/2022)
