Studi hukum tidak akan lepas dari sebuah kondi?kasi teks yang memiliki tujuan tertentu. Agar tujuan yang terkandung dalam makna teks secara hakiki dapat tercapai, diperlukan adanya dekonstruksi hukum. Melalui  dekonstruksi, upaya pembangunan hukum di Indonesia yang selama ini dikenal hanya sebatas hukum yang berlaku secara yuridis formal, perlu dimaknai kembali sehingga mencakup nilai-nilai kemaslahatan yang berlaku secara universal. Meskipun perlu diakui, bahwa nilai-nilai kemaslahatan tetap tidak akan mampu menciptakan kepastian hukum, kecuali melalui upaya supremasi hukum yang berupa teks-teks itu sendiri. Untuk menciptakan kepastian hukum (legal certainty), ajaran itu hampir pasti mutlak diperlukan, namun dalam  realitas empirisnya ajaran hukum modern tersebut tidak begitu saja dapat diterapkan begitu saja menjadi rule of law tanpa melihat sebagai rule of morality.<br /><br />The study of law coincides with the codi?cation of texts, and the deconstruction of law is considered necessary to understand the true meaning of the legal texts. Through the process of deconstruction, the legal development of the country which is merely focused on formal and juridical aspect of law needs to include new nuance of universal public bene?t, despite any doubt on its legal uncertainty. In order to achieve legal certainty, reference to the legal text is a necessity, even though in reality modern legal theory cannot operate as rule of law without implementing rule of  morality.<br /><br />Kata kunci: Teks, Dekonstruksi, Kemaslahatan, Kepastian hukum<br /><br /><br /><br />

The aim of this article is to present the notion of clarity as considered from the linguistic and theoretical-legal perspectives. Clarity, similarly to communicativeness and adequacy, constitutes a desirable feature of any legal text. The necessity of considering the three features has been formulated in normative regulations regarding the tenets of a legislative technique. Furthermore, the requirement is part of a constitutional principle of proper legislation. Clarity characterizes legal texts; it is required due to the editorial correctness which should be achieved in the process of the writing of a legal text. It arises from the rules for making laws according to the principles of state under the rule of law. The requirement for the consideration of the desirable features of a legal text by a legislator has both formal and ethical dimensions, because the clarity of a legal text not only constitutes a structural property but also guarantees that values such as legal certainty, legal security of citizens as well as trust in both state and law are recognised. The point is, however, that it is not always possible to achieve such clarity. The objective of this analysis is to investigate the causes which confirm that the requirement for the clarity of any legal text is complicated and not easy to meet. It is due to the fact that the requirement is conditioned not only by strictly legal factors but also linguistic, contextual as well as ethical ones.

AbstractThis article discusses the shifting phenomenon from rule of law to ‘rule of persuasion’ by analysing regulations concerning Covid-19 mitigation through large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) and their impact on Indonesian economy and financial sector. Analysis of PSBB regulations shows that the regulations do not have criminal and law enforcement provisions that could lead legal uncertainty. PSBB regulations are simply a persuasion model. This has led to the shifting from rule of law to ‘law rule of persuasion’. As a result, on one hand, law enforcement related to PSBB regulations would not be effective and could make the Covid-19 pandemic prolonged, and on the other hand, legal uncertainty itself as well as the Covid-19 pandemic would have serious implications for Indonesian economy and financial sector. It is recommended that in the future, any regulations, especially at the level of statutes (acts), should seriously consider the establishment of legal certainty through criminal provisions and law enforcement and anticipate properly the impact such regulations and Covid-19 on Indonesian economy and financial sector.Keywords: legal uncertainty; rule of law; ‘rule of persuasion’AbstrakArtikel ini membahas fenomena pergeseran negara ke ‘negara himbauan’ dengan melakukan analisis terhadap regulasi terkait penangangan Covid-19 melalui pembatasan sosial berskala besar (PSBB) dan dampaknya terhadap keuangan dan perekonomian Indonesia. Analisis terhadap regulasi PSBB menunjukan bahwa regulasi tidak memiliki ketentuan pidana dan aspek penegakan hukumnya yang dapat menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum. Regulasi PSBB sekedar merupakan model himbauan yang telah menegaskan adanya fenomena pergeseran dari negara hukum ke ‘negara himbauan’. Akibatnya, di satu sisi, penegakan hukum terhadap regulasi PSBB tidak akan berjalan efektif dan bisa membuat pandemi Covid-19 berkepanjangan, dan di sisi lainnya, ketidakpastian hukum sebagaimana juga pandemic Covid-19 akan memiliki implikasi serius bagi perekonomian dan keuangan Indonesia. Direkomendasikan agar kedepannya, regulasi apapun, utamanya di tingkat undang-undang, harus secara sungguh memperhatikan aspek kepastian hukum melalui pengaturan dalam ketentuan pidana dan penegakan hukumnya dan mengantisipasi secara tepat dampak regulasi dan Covid-19 bagi perekonomian dan keuangan Indonesia. Kata kunci: ketidakpastian hukum; negara hukum; ‘negara himbauan’

The paradigm of legal positivism, historically the most important attempt at turning law into science, has been subject to thorough criticism in past decades. The criticism has concerned the most important features of legal positivism, and especially the assumption of separation of law and morality, the dogma of statue being the only source of law, and the linguistic methods of interpreting legal texts. With a crisis of the positive paradigms, the demand for new, humanistic grounds for analysing philosophical and legal questions is intensifying. This is the reason for this article’s attempt to point to the application of Paul Ricoeur’s achievements to the key questions of the philosophy of law. It must be emphasised that his works, and especially Soimême comme un autre, may serve as a foundation for a philosophy of law rejecting the problematic claims about the dualism of being and obligation, the distinction of descriptive and prescriptive languages, and also the separation of law and morality. Thanks to this, the legal topos pacta sunt servanda (agreements must be kept) finds a reinforcement in the ontology of the subject applying law and can be understood as an ethically significant pattern of identity of the self. Equally fruitful seems the possibility of combining the questions of the ontology of the subject applying law with the question of a legal text and its interpretation. The assumption of Ricoeur’s perspective leads to a reduction in the distance between the legal text and its addressee, emphasised by the critics of legal positivism. This rapprochement becomes possible thanks to the connection of the question of the narrative that a legal text is with the question of narrativisation of the subject (i.e. the interpreter of a legal text), being itself in the ipse sense, i.e. applying the law.

The legal philosopher Gustav Radbruch regarded legal certainty as one of the three fundamental pillars of law alongside justice and purposiveness. Nowadays, legal certainty is commonly recognised as a central requirement for the rule of law – a principle which protects from the arbitrary use of the state power. Analysis of the terms ‚rule of law’ and ‚legal certainty’ encouters many difficulties because of their ambiguity. However, despite their imperfections, these and other terms which describe and create contemporary political and legal reality serve as a point of reference for the assessment of existing and newly introduced regulations. They also constitute useful criteria for the comparison of the social orders in the international community. The main aim of this article is to analyze the way that legal certainty is perceived in the literature of legal theory and in the decisions of the court. The first part of the paper is devoted to the terminological issues. The second part focuses on the two aspects of legal certainty, on the process of creation and application of law. The final part presents the arguments justifying the legal certainty which, in particular, secures individual freedom and expresses respect for the individual autonomy.

The Power of Attorney of the Encumbrance Rights (SKMHT) is a special power of attorney which includes the power to impose the provision of encumbrance by the encumbrance grantor to the recipient of the encumbrance or other person authorized to it. The Power of Attorney of the Encumbrance Rights (SKMHT) must be made in two forms namely the notarial deed or the deed of the land deed official (PPAT) as stipulated by the provisions of Article 15 paragraph (1) of the Law Number 4 of 1996 on the Encumbrance Rights of the Land Along with Bodies Relating to Land. The enactment of the National Land Agency Regulation Number 8 of 2012 requires that the SKMHT shall be made ??in accordance with the format of the attachment of the Regulation. . While the SKMHT in the form of notarial deed shall be made ??in accordance with the provisions of Article 1868 of the Civil Code, the Article 38 of the Revised Law on the Position of the Land Deed Official (UUJNP), and the Article 15 of the Law on The Encumbrance Rights (UUHT). This results in the different arrangements resulting in the lack of uniformity of the SKMHT forms made ??by a notary or the land deed official (PPAT) which giving rise to the legal uncertainty of the form of the SKMHT and the legal effect of the SKMHT made in the form of a notarial deed. The study is a normative legal research, intended to examine the differences in the SKMHT arrangement between the provisions of Article 15 paragraph (1) of The Encumbrance Rights (UUHT) with the Regulation of the Head of National Land Agency (Perkaban) Number 8 of 2012. The study uses the statutory approach that is supported by the literature, legal theory, the opinions of the scholars, as well as the legal dictionaries, as its legal materials. The findings of the study show that the Regulation of the Head of National Land Agency (Perkaban) Number 8 of 2012 does not abolish the SKMHT  in the form of a notarial deed as provided in Article 15 paragraph (1) of The Encumbrance Rights (UUHT). the SKMHT in the form of a notarial deed shall be made ??in accordance with the provisions of Article 1868 of the Civil Code, the Article 38 of the Revised Law on the Position of the Land Deed Official (UUJNP), and the Article 15 of the Law on The Encumbrance Rights (UUHT), while the SKMHT in the form of the land deed official (PPAT) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation of the Head of National Land Agency (Perkaban) Number 8 of 2012 along with its attachments. It is expected that the firm provisions which regulate the SKMHT in the forms of the notarial deed should be enacted in order to create its legal certainty.

The scientific article is devoted to the substantiation of the procedural nature of the official interpretation of legal texts. The author emphasizes that it is on the official interpretation that legally significant decisions are based, which establish the specific rights and obligations of the subjects. However, today there are no systematized methodological recommendations, requirements, officially established legal procedure and principles of interpretive activity, which could determine common standards of official interpretation. The procedure of interpretation consists in the sequence of actions of the authorized subjects within separate stages.The article formulates the author’s definition of legal interpretation procedure as a system of successive legally significant actions of authorized entities, which are aimed at clarifying, constructing and explaining to other legal entities the meaning and scope of legal norms formulated in legal texts. Taking into account the latest methodological approaches to interpretation and the requirements of the rule of law,the author reveals the content of legal interpretation, which consists of separate stages, which in turn include a number of successive procedures. In particular, the stage of clarifying the content of the legal text involves the following procedures: initial study of the legal text and the form of its consolidation in the provisions of the legal act, comprehensive analysis of the legal text, analysis of the received interpretation in terms of justice, human rights, rule of law, design normative rule. The explanation, according to the author, includes the following procedures: preparation of a draft interpretative act, namely a legal document that contains an explanation of the content and application of the legal norm, formulated by the authorized body within its competence; adoption of a legal interpretation act, making it universally binding for all those who apply the clarified rules of law; promulgation of an interpretative act, namely, bringing its content to the attention of society or law enforcement agencies; control over the use of the act of interpretation of the law by the subjects of its application; generalization of legal interpretative acts in order to systematize them. Given the importance of official interpretation of legal texts, the feasibility of determining at least the general principles of legal interpretation at the regulatory level is considered. Keywords: interpretation of law, official interpretation, legal procedure, legal interpretation activity.

It is likely that interreligion marriage often takes place due to plurality adhered by the Indonesian people. Many couples have not had their interreligion marriage registered due to refusal by the Civil Registry Office to register their marriage on grounds that the interreligion marriage is not permitted in religious teachings, and further, it is not regulated in Law No. 1 of 1974. This fact obviously raised the feeling of injustice and legal uncertainty in the interreligion marriage so that it is interesting to investigate the aims of which were: to discover the law on interreligion marriage in the politics on marriage law based on Five Basics Principles of the Republic of Indonesia (Pancasila) when associated with function of the marriage registry institution, to discover the legal certainty of the interreligion marriage conducted overseas when associated with function of the marriage registry under the Indonesian legal system, as well as the interreligion marriage law in the political perspective on equitable marriage law based on Pancasila as an effort for legal system development of national family. To analyze the research findings, the following theories are adopted, which are, the Pancasila based legal state, Pancasilabased justice as well as legal development and legal certainty theories.The research was a legal research natured by adopting approaches on legal history and comparative as well as laws and regulations. The research was descriptive nature and in view of the costruction, it was a prescriptive research.The main data required for the research consisted secondary and primary data.Data collection that have been adopted was document study and interview methods the analysis of the data collecting was conducted on a qualitative juridical method focusing on the analysis on the legal certainty and legal aspect which live and grow among the public, as well as legal synchronization.The research indicated that the interreligionmarriage in Indonesia has taken place due to a legal uncertainty in the context of Law No. 1 of 1974 which did not regulate whether or not the interreligion marriage practice was permitted. On the contrary, however, the relevant law has opened the possibility of such marriage to took place. It was also possible that the uncertainty on the interreligion marriage was due to the provisions regarding marriage as set forth in Law No. 1 of 1974 and Law No. 23 of 2006 which conflict with each other. The state should therefore guarantee that the public legal certainty is to be realized as one characteristic indicated in a Pancasila based legal state is the existence of legal certainty. Viewed from the theories on Pancasila based justice as well as legal development and legal certainty approache. Thus, to realize public orderliness and harmony, it shall be necessary to only register the marriage at one institution. This has to be conducted as an effort to keep orderliness of population administration and legal certainty when it comes to interreligion marriage.

The article will examine the challenges that the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office poses for the rule of law – a question which has been underexplored in the policy and academic debate on the establishment of the EPPO, which focused largely on questions of structure and powers of the EPPO and the battle between intergovernmental and supranational visions of European prosecution. The implications of the finally adopted legal framework on the EPPO on the rule of law will be analysed primarily from the perspective of the rule of law as related to EPPO investigations and prosecutions and their consequences for affected individuals – in terms of legal certainty and foreseeability, protection from executive arbitrariness, effective judicial protection and defence rights. The article will undertake a rule of law audit of the EPPO by focusing on three key elements of its legal architecture – the competence of the EPPO, applicable law and judicial review – and the interaction between EU and national levels of investigation and prosecution that the EPPO Regulation envisages. The analysis will aim to cast light on the current rule of law deficit in a hybrid system of European prosecution located somewhere between co-operation and integration.
