The ratification of Law Number 3 of 2020 (Revision of the Mining Law) on June 10, 2020 by President Joko Widodo raised a polemic so that several parties have filed a judicial review of the law. This phenomenon indicates that there are interests that are not accommodated in the Revision. The natural resource business as the sector with the greatest risk of human rights violations is in the spotlight whether the Revision are much better to guarantee human rights protection or not. The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) is a recommendation that can be used as a parameter how human rights are protected on the Revision. This research is normative legal research using qualitative descriptive methods by combining statutory approaches and conceptual approaches. The results show that the absence of mandatory regulations and guidelines for human rights protection in domestic business activities is a factor in the low level of human rights protection in the Revision. Human Rights Protections by the State and Human Rights Respects by companies have not been comprehensively regulated, access to recovery for human rights impacts is still not maximal and needs to be developed as recommended in the UNGPs.

AbstractThe AEC is good news for Indonesian migrant workers wanting to work overseas. Unfortunately, many Indonesian migrant workers have been deported from ASEAN countries because of having problems. This study adopts the normative legal research method. It argues that AICHR may be slow in resolving the problems of human rights. It is also argued that the ASEAN Committee on Migrant Workers works in the absence of the political commitment of ASEAN leaders to implement the Cebu Declaration. Therefore, the best solution is public participation in the ASEAN countries to protect migrant workers.IntisariKomunitas Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN adalah berita baik untuk Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) untuk bekerja di luar negeri. Namun, banyak TKI yang kembali dari negara-negara ASEAN dikarenakan mendapatkan berbagai permasalahan. Penelitian ini mengadopsi jenis penelitian hukum normatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa AICHR lamban dalam menyelesaikan permaslahan tentang hak asasi manusia. Penelitian ini juga menyimpulkan bahwa komunitas ASEAN tentang Pekerja Migran bekerja dengan tidak adanya komitmen politik dari para pemimpim ASEAN dalam menerapkan Deklarasi Cebu. Oleh sebab itu, dibutuhkan partisipasi ASEAN dalam melindungi TKI.

The Impact

Since the turn of the millennium, the European Union (EU) has sought to advance its policies on business and human rights with the aim of achieving specific outcomes on human rights protection, core labour standards, and a better alignment of European and global approaches to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). At the heart of this endeavour lies the European Commission’s renewed strategy for CSR in its 2011 Communication. This chapter critically analyses the impact of the EU’s re-calibration of its CSR policy to allow for the fuller engagement of European business with human rights on the internal and external plane. The EU has sought to develop a ‘smart mix’ of voluntary policy measures and complementary regulatory initiatives to achieve its aims. Consequently, it has made considerable progress towards embedding business and human rights in European law and policy. However, it continues to face challenges due to its lack of competence along the whole spectrum of business-related human rights, and the transversal character of EU policy, which elicits a multidimensional response to implementation, involving a plethora of actors from government, business, and civil society.

Abstract: Human rights on the one hand by the concept of natural law is an inherent right of every individual human being since birth, but on the other hand the legality of human rights must be shaped by the flow of positivism. The debate over whether human rights should be stipulated in the constitution also influence the discussion of the UUD 1945. Finally, the UUD 1945 amendments regulate the basic rights of citizens more fully starts from the premise that human rights protection is an important element in the concept of a constitutional state. Incorporated therein also setting mechanism of "judicial review" in the Constitutional Court as a means to avoid any legislation contrary to the fundamental rights of citizens as guaranteed in the constitution. Abstrak: Hak Asasi Manusia Dalam Kerangka Negara Hukum: Catatan Perjuangan di Mahkamah Konstitusi. Hak asasi manusia pada satu sisi menurut konsep hukum alam adalah suatu hak yang melekat pada setiap individu manusia sejak dilahirkan, tetapi pada sisi lain hak asasi harus bentuk legalitas menurut aliran positivisme. Perdebatan apakah hak asasi manusia harus diatur dalam konstitusi atau tidak perlu dimuat dalam konstitusi juga mewarnai pembahasan UUD 1945. Amandemen UUD 1945 pasca berakhirnya 32 tahun Pemerintahan Orde Baru di bawah Suharto membawa perubahan significant UUD 1945. Pasca amandemen UUD 1945, konstitusi mengatur secara umum hak warganegara secara lebih lengkap. Perlindungan hak asasi manusia merupakan satu elemen penting dalam konsep negara hukum. Pasca amandemen konstitusi, UUD 1945 mengatur hak-hak dasar warganegara yang lebih lengkap bertitik tolak dari pemikiran bahwa perlindungan hak asasi manusia merupakan satu elemen penting dalam konsep negara hukum. UUD 1945 pasca amandemen memasukkan pengaturan hak warga negara lebih rinci serta mekanisme “judicial review” di Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai sarana untuk menghindari adanya peraturan yang bertentangan dengan hak-hak dasar warganegara sebagaimana dijamin dalam konstitusi. DOI: 10.15408/jch.v4i1.3200

AbstractSince its inception over four decades ago ASEAN has always worked towards improving the lives of its citizens. Year 2009 has opened another chapter with the inauguration of AICHR pursuant to Article 14 of the ASEAN Charter at the 15th ASEAN Summit. Since then AICHR has conducted various activities. In the midst of these ‘progress’ the vital question remains unanswered; To what extent AICHR has been successful in protecting human rights of citizens in ASEAN countries? This shall be answered through qualitative legal research. This study serves as an analytical basis to predict the future development of the AICHR as well as human rights protection in South East Asia. Furthermore, it contributes to the reform of both ASEAN and AICHR toward implementation of human rights in the region. This research focuses on human rights issues of the Rohingya in Myanmar whereby ASEAN’s policy and action relating to the issue are examined. The finding shows that the policy and action of ASEAN does not provide much support in protecting the rights of the Rohingya. On the contrary, the policy has hindered the effort of AICHR in protecting human rights. AICHR is considered not independent since it almost completely relies on ASEAN. As therefore, it is recommended that ASEAN and its member states take real and concrete measures to protect human rights. Hence, to achieve AICHR and ASEAN’s objectives, lASEAN and its member states must respect human rights and support AICHR with necessary power and measure. Keywords: AICHR, ASEAN, Human Rights, Myanmar, Rohingya.   Abstrak Sejak kelahirannya empat dekade yang lalu, ASEAN selalu berupaya meningkatkan taraf hidup rakyatnya. Tahun 2009 membuka lembaran baru ASEAN dengan adanya inaugurasi AICHR berdasarkan Pasal 14 dari Piagam ASEAN pada Konferensi Tingkat Tinggi ASEAN ke-15. Semenjak itu, AICHR telah melaksanakan berbagai kegiatan. Dalam perkembangannya, masih terdapat pertanyaan penting yang belum terjawab; sejauh mana keberhasilan AICHR dalam melindungi hak asasi dari warga negara-negara di ASEAN? Untuk menjawabnya, pertanyaan ini akan dijawab melalui penelitian hukum kualitatif. Penelitian ini berfungsi sebagai dasar analisis untuk memprediksi perkembangan AICHR juga perlindungan HAM di ASEAN. Selain itu, penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan berkontribusi terhadap reformasi ASEAN dan juga AICHR dalam perlindungan HAM di ASEAN. Penelitian ini memfokuskan pada isu HAM kelompok Rohingya di Myanmar dengan menelaah kebijakan dan tindakan ASEAN terhadap isu tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan dan tindakan ASEAN tidak memberikan cukup dukungan dalam perlindungan HAM terhadap Rohingya, namun sebaliknya, kebijakan-kebijakan yang ada telah menghalangi upaya AICHR dalam melindungi HAM. Sehingga AICHR tidak benar-benar independen sebab AICHR bergantung nyaris sepenuhnya pada ASEAN. Oleh karenanya, ASEAN dan negara-negara anggotanya sebaiknya melakukan berbagai upaya yang nyata dan konkret untuk melindungi HAM. Agar AICHR bisa merealisasikan maksud dan tujuannya, ASEAN dan negara-negara anggotanya harus menghormati HAM dan mendukung AICHR melalui berbagai upaya dan kekuatan yang diperlukan.

Human rights protection in Asia is hindered by the absence of binding human rights instruments and enforcement mechanisms, including the lack of human rights mainstreaming into the works of relevant stakeholders, notably the judiciary. Judiciary plays key roles in the realization and protection of human rights. As the guardian of the Constitution, the Indonesian Constitutional Court (‘the Court’) is mandated to protect the human rights of the citizens. This paper argues that the Court, which previously served as the President of the Association of Asian Constitutional Courts and Equivalent Institutions (AACC), has the potential to play a leading role in mainstreaming human rights in the region. Using normative and comparative legal research methodologies, the paper identified the Court’s mandates on human rights at the national, regional and international levels; assessed the need for human rights mainstreaming in the Asian judiciary; and examined the significant potential of the AACC to house the mainstreaming project. Finally, it proposes several recommendations for the Court’s consideration, namely to encourage judicial independence, recommend human rights incorporation into judicial discussions and decisions, suggest the establishment of a platform to enhance human rights expertise of the judiciary, as well as facilitate a platform for the development of binding human rights instruments and the establishment of an Asian Human Rights Court.
