The primary procedure for filling the post of manager of a non-entrepreneurial medical entity (as well as for other posts referred to in Article 49(1) of the Law on Medicinal Activities) is to select a candidate by means of a competition. However, there may be cases where it is necessary to fill the post of manager, but there is no possibility of a competition procedure. In such situations, it should be possible to entrust duties in this post, but only for the time necessary to conduct the competition. In so doing, it cannot be considered that the delegation of duties constitutes one of the means of filling the post of manager of a medical entity, which is only a temporary solution enabling the medical entity to function until that post has been filled by means of a competition. In view of the legal personality of an independent public health establishment and the principle of legality in the operation of local government units in the exercise of its powers, it is appropriate to limit the powers of that body as a medical entity only to the situations expressly referred to in the provisions of the Law. However, the provisions of the Law on local government employees do not apply either to the manager of the medical entity or to its other employees.

This chapter comments on Article 24 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Preceded by two provisions that entrench two Latin maxims described collectively as the principle of legality, article 24 completes the treatment of the subject in Part 3 of the Rome Statute. Article 24 promises the accused that if there is a change in the law applicable to a given case prior to a final judgment, ‘the law more favourable shall apply’. However, this rule giving the defendant the benefit of the ‘more favourable’ provision is not without difficulties. It is not always a simple manner to determine which rule is in fact more favourable. Moreover, there may be an important element of subjectivity, in that individuals may differ in their assessment.

<p>Instrumen hukum paling klasik untuk melaksanakan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan guna mewujudkan masyarakat yang adil dan makmur adalah Hukum Administrasi Negara (HAN). Untuk mencapai tujuan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan tersebut, birokrasi menjadi alat yang efektif didalam menjalankan pengelolaan negara. Persoalan hukum dari birokrasi yang menjadi permasalahan saat ini adalah persinggungan asas legalitas ( wetmatigheid ) dan diskresi ( pouvoir discretionnaire ) pejabat negara (eksekutif). Tulisan ini berusaha menjawab permasalahan di atas dengan lebih menitikberatkan bahasan mengenai “diskresi” dalam hukum administrasi. Dengan metode yuridis normative, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa diskresi memang diperlukan dalam hukum administrasi, khususnya di dalam menyelesaikan persoalan dimana peraturan perundang-undangan belum mengaturnya atau hanya mengatur secara umum. Disamping itu diskresi juga diperlukan dalam hal terdapat prosedur yang tidak dapat diselesaikan menurut administrasi yang normal. Dengan demikian penataan Hukum Administrasi menjadi sangat penting dan tentunya bukan sekedar melihat dari sisi pembentukan atau penataan peraturan perundang-undangan terkait administrasi negara, tetapi lebih jauh dari itu adalah penataan tatanan hukum yang terdiri dari struktur, substansi, dan kultur masyarakat, birokrasi, dan penegak hukum.</p><p>The most classical legal instruments to carry out government administration in order to realize a just and prosperous society is the Law of State Administration (HAN). To achieve the objectives of the government, the bureaucracy into an effective tool in the management of state run. Legal issues of bureaucracy which is the case today is the intersection of the principle of legality (wetmatigheid) and discretionary (pouvoir discretionnaire) state officials (executive). This article tries to answer the above problems with a more focused discussion on the “discretion” in administrative law. With normative juridical methods, the study concluded that discretion was necessary in administrative law, especially in solving problems in which the legislation has not been set or simply set in general. Besides, discretion is also required in case there are procedures that cannot be resolved according to the normal administration. Thus the arrangement of Administrative Law to be very important and certainly not just a look from the side of the formation or arrangement of the legislation related to state administration, but further than that is the arrangement of the legal order which consists of the structure, substance, and the culture of the society, bureaucracy, and enforcement the law.</p>

Tindak pidana narkotika merupakan kejahatan luar biasa sehingga menjadi prioritas pemerintah untuk diperangi. Penanggulangan tindak pidana narkotika diatur dalam Undang-Undang No. 35 Tahun 2009 tentang Narkotika. Salah satu pengaturan dalam undang-undang tersebut adalah pemberian sanksi di bawah minimum melalui putusan hakim. Sebagaimana kasus yang terjadi dalam Putusan Nomor 64/PID/2012/PN Sigli, Putusan No. 1/pid.sus/2016/PN Cag. (narkotika) dan Putusan No. 14/pid.sus/2016/PN Cag. Adapun permasalahan yang dikaji yaitu faktor penyebab hakim memutuskan sanksi di bawah minimum kepada pelaku narkotika dan implikasinya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode yuridis normatif dengan mengkaji aspek normatif atas permasalahan yang dikaji. Pendekatan yang dilakukan adalah pendekatan kasuistik dengan menelaah putusan pengadilan. Putusan pengadilan dengan penetapan sanksi di bawah minimum disatu sisi bertentangan dengan asas legalitas dalam hukum pidana. Sehingga hal ini diakomodir dalam Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung No. 3 tahun 2015. Narcotics crimes are extraordinary crimes so that become government priorities to be minimized. Tackling narcotics crime is regulated in Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. One of the regulations in the law is to impose sanctions below the minimum through a judge's decision.

The research method used is a normative juridical method by examining the normative aspects of the problem under study. The approach taken is a casuistic approach by examining court decisions. Court decisions with the determination of sanctions below the minimum on the one hand are contrary to the principle of legality in criminal law. So that accommodated in the Supreme Court Circular No. 3 of 2015.

Penelitian ini mengkaji dua persoalan pokok. Pertama, relevansi Hukum Pidana Adat sebagai kontribusi dalam pembaharuan Hukum Pidana di Indoneisa. Kedua, penerapan hukum dalam penyelesaian tindak pidana berdasarkan Hukum Pidana Adat di Suku Tengger. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kontribusi Hukum Pidana Adat, berupa penyelesaian perkara di luar pengadilan atau mediasi penal yang dilakukan masyarakat atau masyarakat adat secara turun temurun, sudah relevan dengan pembaharuan Hukum Pidana di Indonesia. Praktik semacam ini selaras dengan nilai dan cita-cita Bangsa Indonesia, sesuai dengan sila keempat Pancasila sebagai dasar negara. Selain itu selaras dengan ide keseimbangan Hukum Pidana, teori sifat melawan hukum, pemenuhan kewajiban adat serta perluasan asas legalitas.

ABSTRAKPutusan Nomor 003/PUU-IV/2006 menyatakan materiele wederrechtelijk dalam Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Korupsi bertentangan dengan Pasal 28D ayat (1) UUD NRI 1945, dan tidak berlaku mengikat. Penelitian ini berupaya memahami apakah tepat atau tidak pertimbangan Mahkamah Konstitusi dalam putusan tersebut. Dalam menjawab permasalahan tersebut digunakan penelitian doktrinal, norma hukum serta asas yang melandasi lahirnya putusan tersebut. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui terdapat ketidaktepatan dalam pertimbangan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Mahkamah Konstitusi telah keliru dalam usahanya memvalidasi Penjelasan Pasal 2 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Korupsi dengan menguji berdasarkan asas legalitas yang terdapat dalam Pasal 1 ayat (1) KUHP. Padahal prinsipnya pengujian yang dilakukan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi adalah menguji undang-undang terhadap UUD NRI 1945. Selain itu, Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi berorientasi pada asas legalitas yang hanya mengutamakan rechtssicherheit dan mengesampingkan keberadaan gerechtigkeit dan zweckmässigkeit. Lebih dari itu, tidak diakuinya materiele wederrechtelijk telah meniadakan eksistensi hukum yang hidup di masyarakat sebagai sumber hukum untuk menyatakan suatu perbuatan bersifat melawan hukum. Hal ini bertentangan dengan mandat Pasal 18B ayat (2) UUD NRI 1945, dan berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Dengan demikian materiele wederrechtelijk tidak bertentangan dengan kontitusi.Kata kunci: materiele wederrechtelijk, korupsi, konstitusionalitas. ABSTRACT Constitutional Court Decision Number 003/PUUIV/2006 states unlawful criminal acts (materiele wederrechtelijk) in the Anti-Corruption Law is inconsistent with Article 28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, and not binding. Doctrinal research, legal norms and principles underlying the birth of the court decision are used in answering whether the problem arising from the decision is justified. Based on the result of the research, there is an inaccuracy in the consideration of the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court has erred in its attempt to validate the Elucidation of Article 2 Paragraph (1) of Corruption Law by examining based on the legality principle contained in Article 1 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code. Whereas in principle, what has been conducted by the Constitutional Court is a judicial review of the law against the 1945 Constitution. In addition, the Constitutional Court’s decision is oriented on the principle of legality which only prioritizes legal  certainty (Rechtssicherheit) and overrides justice (Gerechtigkeit) and utility (Zweckmässigkeit). Moreover, the unrecognized materiele wederrechtelijk has negated the existence of a living law in society as a source of law to declare unlawful acts. This is contrary to the mandate of Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution and various prevailing laws and regulations. Thus, the material wederrechtelijk is not contradictory to the constitution. Keywords: materiele wederrechtelijk, corruption, constitutionality.

One of the essential principles, which represents a pivot in the physiognomy of the legal order, is the principle of legality. His imperative is manifested through the obligation of the administrative organs and officials, the actions they take and the acts they make, to base exclusively on the laws, as well as the rules based on the law. Legality is a fundamental principle that all employees, from the top to the bottom of the administrative pyramid, should uphold. As a substantive element, it constitutes the essence of the service-based and functionally potent administrative systems of European countries and is established as a normative framework, directive, guide, roadmap and postulate for the operation of their officers. Because of its primordial and strategic significance, in states with atrophied and insufficient institutional structures, which still pass through the labyrinth of the obscure transition tunnel, this principle should be implanted as the basic substrate in the mental matrix and in the professional habitat of the administrators. In accordance with the principle of legality, the authorities of the public and state administration, in the immediate application of the laws and other regulations, have a duty to provide the rights of the clients, ie they impose obligations that arise only from the laws. In this way, the principle of equality is revived, and arbitrariness, voluntarism and arbitrariness in the resolution of the rights and obligations of citizens and other legal entities are prevented. By practicing the principle of legality, in fact, the stability of the legal as well as the social system as a whole is ensured and the fundamental, constitutional and law-enforced rights of citizens are guaranteed. The administrative authorities are obliged to apply the principle of legality and in cases when they are authorized to decide on a free (discretionary) assessment. It is a guarantee mechanism for reducing and preventing arbitrariness and arbitrariness in decision-making. The antidote to legality is illegality. In the narrow sense, the notion of illegitimacy refers to abuse of power (ultra vires), or rather incompetence, a direct violation of legal rules and errors in the establishment and the legal qualification of the facts. This meaning of the term in "narrower sense" refers, in particular, to cases where the administration procedure is regulated by a law that is very precise and in cases where the competence of the administrative authority is determined and imposed in accordance with the law, but it can also apply of cases where the administration has some kind of discretion. In a broader sense, however, illegality involves the pursuit of improper purposes and consideration of inadequate considerations and irrelevant factors.

Abstract: Al-Qur’an is revealed by Allah as a guidance for mankind. Most of its verses were revealed without circumstantial events on which the verses were revealed. Meanwhile, there are also some of its verses which were revealed to answer or respond particular events or questions that can be easily understood from their historicity especially those which related to Islamic law. This particular events or questions are called sabab al-nuzul (context of revelation) in the study of Qurán. This research shows that there are many advantages of the context of the revelation associated with the legal verses. The wisdom and secret of the verses become the basis of the law promulgation to reach a public interest. As for the impact of the context of the revelation is that the derived law will be enforced since the legal event happened, and not since it was revealed. This rule is based on the principle of “the derivation of Islamic constitution is understood from the particular context of the revelation and not based on the general meaning of the word”, particularlyassociated with the criminal act which violatespublic or general interest. Thus, it is clear that the principle of legality is not always enforced in the Islamic criminal law. Under a certain condition, it may be applied retroactively if the criminal actdisturbs public interest. So that, this research will focus on the legal consequences of verses of al-Qur’an which have the historical background and those which do not.Keywords: Reason of the revelation, certain historical background, retroactive, and muharabah Abstrak: Al-Qur’an diturunkan ada yang tidak melalui sebab dan ini lebih banyak daripada yang melalui sebab dan ia merupakan wahyu yang menjadi petunjuk Allah bagi  umat manusia (hudan li al-nas). Sementara itu, ada juga yang melalui sabab al-nuzul, karena adanya fatrat min al-rasul (kekosongan umat manusia dari keberadaan Nabi dan Rasul) dan mengandung beberapa hikmah yang dalam, terutama terkait dengan pemahaman ayat-ayat hukum dalam al-Qur’an. Melalui tulisan ini, ditemukan bahwa banyak manfaat sabab al-nuzul terkait dengan ayat hukum, di antaranya dapat diketahui hikmah dan rahasia diundangkannya suatu hukum dan perhatian shara’ terhadap kepentingan umum. Dampak sabab al-nuzul dengan penerapan asas berlaku surut (athar raj’i), yaitu hukum yang diturunkan akan diberlakukan sejak peristiwa hukum (tindak pidana) itu terjadi, bukan sejak al-Qur’an diturunkan, menurut kaidah sabab al-nuzul, al-‘ibrah bi khusus al-sabab, bukan al-‘ibrah bi ‘umum al-lafz, terkait dengan tindak pidana yang mengganggu masyarakat atau kepentingan umum. Sehingga, menjadi jelas bahwa asas legalitas tidak selamanya diberlakukan dalam hukum pidana Islam maupun positif. Dalam kondisi tertentu dapat diberlakukan surut jika tindak pidana mengganggu kepentingan umum dan menguntungkan pelaku pidana jika terjadi perubahan peraturan dengan menganalogkan kepada peristiwa terdahulu melalui pendekatan sabab al-nuzul, bahkan dalam hukum pidana Islam lebih luas penerapan asas berlaku surut.Kata Kunci: Sabab al-nuzul, khusus al-sabab, berlaku surut, muharabah
