Freedom to express opinions in public is a human right guaranteed by the 1945 Indonesian Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The concept of human rights originating from the West resulted in its application often causing problems. This problem arises because the values of freedom that are generally upheld in the West are different from the specific values based on the philosophy and way of life in each country.  The purpose of this study is to describe how the freedom to express opinions in public is in accordance with the values of Pancasila ideology. This research is normative legal research with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. Using primary and secondary legal materials also analyzed qualitatively descriptively. The results of the study conclude that the right to express freedom in public must be in accordance with the values of Pancasila, which is to fulfill the principle of balance between the rights and obligations of every citizen with the goal of responsible freedom being realized. Rights should not be understood only as claims on others, but also contain an obligation to respect the rights of others. Rights always have implications for obligations. All obligations, like all rights, derive from law, because all obligations are moral imperatives and all moral imperatives arise from law. Its application always upholds the values of divinity, humanity, unity, democracy and aims to realize social justice for all Indonesian people.Keywords: right of freedom, express opinion, Pancasila

This study investigates the issue of apostasy or riddahor as a human right to freedom of religion or belief, especially among the Muslims. The purpose is to examine the question of whether apostasy should be recognized by modern Muslim states and societies as a human right that must be guaranteed for their citizens. Or, should it strictly be denied, thus freedom of religion or belief should not be extended to apostasy for Muslims and Muslim converts? The method used to complete the study is historical research and content analysis. This study showed that the call for recognition of apostasy as a human right is indeed influenced by the West which extremely enjoys freedom of belief or religion. As for Islam, apostasy is indeed contradictory with its teachings. This article is meaningful as it highlights the Universal Islamic Declaration of Human Rights (UIDHR) which speaks on religious freedom with limitations. UIDHR invariably attempts to match the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) that recognizes the right to believe in whatever men want or to change their religion as they wish, at any time.

This paper tries to examine the right to freedom of interfaith marriage in Indonesia from the perspective of Human Rights Universalism and Cultural Relativism. The purpose of this paper is to explain how universalism and cultural relativity view interfaith marriage in Indonesia. This research is a normative legal research. This study uses a literature approach. The findings of this study indicate that interfaith marriage in Indonesia is still not well accepted and has always been controversial news in the community, even considered to have exceeded or violated the provisions of marriage, but there are still followers of different religions who decide to marry. In fact, many of them are smuggling laws so that their marriages are recognized by the state, namely by registering marriages abroad and then continuing the registration in Indonesia. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Indonesia already has a law on Marriage, namely, Article 2 paragraph 1. It is also contained in the article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, namely the right to freedom of marriage (article 16 UDHR) which includes the right to marry between religions (different religions), and the right to freedom of religion (article 18 UDHR) which includes the right to change religions. Meanwhile, in cultural realivism, it rejects everything that is universal.

This chapter explores the author’s housing journey, from living in private rental housing, to working with disadvantaged communities on housing and human rights, campaigning on homelessness and the right to housing, to being a publically engaged academic researching and engaging in the national policy debate on housing. It details the everyday impact of austerity on disadvantaged social housing communities and their response through a successful ‘Rights-in-action’ human right to housing campaign. It also details participatory action research with homeless families, the Participatory Action Human Rights and Capability Approach. In then discusses the role of academics, policy makers and researchers in social change, empowerment and participation in relation to social justice and housing issues.

The strong fanaticism of Madurese society to issues of diversities on religious, beliefs, opinions to socio-religious affiliation makes it prone to any conflict like what occurred between Shiite-Sunni in Sampang. The minority group finds it hard to express their belief, such as building worship houses. This hegemony requires the right way to foster attitudes and understanding on values of tolerance and diversity. This article argues the importance of building public legal awareness through legal culture strengthening. The historical normative approach becomes the main foundation including the conception of tolerance in religious texts (the Qur'an and hadith), the Medina Charter, the conception of human rights in the Cairo Declaration, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and several other laws governing religious tolerance and human rights in Indonesia. It reveals the importance of legal culture strengthening because public legal awareness can’t only be built through legal substance and legal structure. Furthermore, legal culture strengthening also functions to maximize several existing legal products on the tolerance building. The strengthening program can be through massive socialization instruments in public spaces both in academic areas, such as universities and other social institutions.(Kuatnya fanatisme masyarakat Madura terhadap isu-isu perbedaan agama, keyakinan, pandangan, hingga afiliasi sosial keagamaan menyebabkan kerawanan munculnya konflik seperti konflik Syi’ah-Sunni di Sampang. Kelompok minoritas cenderung kesulitan mengekspresikan keyakinannya, seperti saat akan membangun tempat ibadah. Hegemoni semacam ini mengharuskan adanya cara yang tepat guna menumbuhkan sikap dan pemahaman tentang nilai-nilai toleransi dan keberagaman. Artikel ini memperlihatkan pentingnya membangun kesadaran hukum masyarakat melalui penguatan legal culture. Pendekatan normatif historis menjadi pijakan utama meliputi konsepsi toleransi dalam teks-teks keagamaan (al-Qur’an dan al-hadits), Piagam Madinah (Madinah Charter), konsepsi HAM dalam Deklarasi Kairo, Universal Declaration of Human Right (UDHR), Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia 1945 serta beberapa Undang-Undang lain tentang toleransi beragama dan HAM di Indonesia. Artikel ini mengungkapkan pentingnya penguatan legal culture di masyarakat sebab kesadaran hukum tidak bisa dibangun hanya dengan legal substance dan legal structure. Selain itu, penguatan legal culture juga berfungsi untuk memaksimalkan beberapa produk hukum yang ada terkait upaya membangun toleransi. Penguatan legal culture dapat dilakukan dengan berbagai instrument sosialiasi yang masif melalui ruang-ruang publik, baik di lingkup akademik, seperti perguruan tinggi maupun lembaga-lembanga sosial kemasyarakatan lainnya.)

Human dignity is not necessarily treated as a human right per se, but it may describe in particular several of the most fundamental rights that concern physical and psychological integrity: the right to life, the prohibition of torture and ill treatment, the prohibition of slavery and servitude, the right to liberty and security, and the recognition as a person before the law. Within these rubrics, some quite specific issues are addressed including the resort to capital punishment and other extreme penalties, the criminalisation of genocide, and the imposition of medical treatment. The references to dignity in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights appear to make up for the absence of any recognition of a supreme being,

The results of this study indicated that the differences in the provision of assimilation rights and integration of prisoners in Permenkumham No.3 of 2018 were given in accordance with the complete substantive and administrative requirements. However, in Permenkuham No.10 of 2020 there are several differences in terms of granting assimilation and integration rights, both substantive and administrative requirements, so that Permenkumham No.10 of 2020 made it easier for inmates to get the right of assimilation and integration. and the implementation of the provisions for assimilation and integration in Permenkumham No.10 of 2020 is not in accordance with the principles of guidance in the correctional law. This mismatch was due to the presence of prisoners who had returned to committing criminal acts, this indicated a failure to provide guidance to prisoners. This was because the release program only focuses on preventing transmisfsion of COVID-19 in prisons. Keywords: Assimilation, Integration, Prisoners, Differences and suitability of Permenkumham
