This study examined the challenges of state institutions in environmental protection in Nigeria using the case of Taraba state. The institution theory was used as a theoretical framework for the study. The study adopted a descriptive design method using desktop review of secondary materials. Content analysis was used in analyzing the data. The findings of the study revealed that some of the challenges of the state environmental protection institutions include lack of political will, inadequate funding, inadequate qualified personnel, inadequate environmental protection infrastructures, poor condition of environmental protection laboratory, lack of office buildings for staff and poor capacity development. The study also revealed that since the creation of the Ministry of Environment in year 2000 in Taraba state, it is only in 2001, 2013 and 2014 that the ministry received up to 4% of the budgetary allocation of the state. The myriad of challenges have greatly constrained the capacity of the state institution to effectively achieve its mandate of environmental protection. Based on the findings, the study recommends the need for more political commitment to the issues of environmental protection through increased funding, employment of qualified personnel, establishment of environmental protection laboratories and increased capacity development.

This study examined the performance of State institutions in environmental protection in Taraba State with a view to ascertaining their capacity for environmental protection or otherwise and the challenges undermining their efforts. The study is anchored on the theory of Environmentally Responsible Behaviour (ERB). The study adopted survey research design using field observation and interview schedule. Yearly allocations to the two institutions were compiled from the yearly budget documents of the state. The study findings reveal that the state generate the highest revenue of ₦2billion in 2017 which is about 25% and ₦1billion in 2018, 15.17% of the IGR. These were the pick period of the trade in African Rosewood logs in the state. The huge revenue gave legitimacy to the logging activities and explains why the activity persisted despite the existing forest regulations and efforts to stop it. Despite the huge revenue, findings revealed that it was only in the years 2000, 2013, and 2014 that the Ministry of Environment received up to 4% of the state budgetary allocation. The lowest allocation was in 2002 (0.12%), 2016 (0.15%) and 2007 (0.18%). Findings also reveal huge gap between the budgetary allocation and the actual amount released or expended in the sector. The low budgetary allocation reveals low level of attention paid to environmental issues over the years. The findings of the study reveal that it is only in the area of revenue generation that the state institutions performed relatively well. In terms of staffing, capacity building, infrastructures and equipment, improvement in environmental legislation and enforcement of environmental regulation, the state institutions did not fare well. Based on the findings, the study recommended more political commitment, increase funding, employment of more technically skilled staff and establishment of data bank for environmental inventories in the state.

The inclusion of the Ombudsman in the Amendment to the 1945 Constitution will place the existence of the Ombudsman's recommendations philosophically (as well as politically) with high value. So that even though it is not legally binding, it is still obeyed by the State Administration. The position of the Ombudsman is a state institution that is independent and does not have an organic relationship with state institutions and other government agencies, and in carrying out its duties and authority free from interference from other powers.

The Ombudsman as a state institution has the duty to oversee the administration of the state, particularly in public services in order to realize good governance. Therefore the institution is demanded to be independent and impartial to other state institutions. In addition, the presence of the Ombudsman becomes a manifestation of legal protection for the community in the event of maladmnistration conducted by the apparatus/state officials in using their authority. The birth of the Ombudsman is inseparable from history in Scandinavian countries, including in Denmark. The Danish Ombudsman, known as the Folketingets Ombudsmand, has become one of the most important institutions in the state system there. While in Indonesia, its position has received less attention. This difference makes the writer interested to compare it. The approach used in this paper uses a micro-type body of norm approach, which is a legal comparison that uses the Act as the basis for comparison, which is used is Act Number 37 of 2008 concerning the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia compared to the Danish Ombudsman Act. Whereas the legal comparison method uses analytical method. The result of this research is to reconstruct the law in Law Number 37 Year 2008 concerning the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia by adopting from what is in the Danish Ombudsman Act. the hope is that the existence of ORI is so respected and recommendations from ORI are not merely morally binding but are legally binding.Ombudsman sebagai lembaga negara yang memiliki tugas untuk mengawasi dari penyelenggaraan negara, khususnya pada pelayanan publik agar terwujudnya good governence. Oleh karena itu lembaga tersebut dituntut untuk bersifat independen dan tidak memihak kepada lembaga negara lainnya. Selain itu hadirnya Ombudsman menjadi suatu perwujudan perlindungan hukum bagi masyarakat apabila terjadi maladmnistrasi yang dilakukan oleh aparatur/pejabat negara dalam menggunakan kewenangannya. Lahirnya Ombudsman tidak lepas dari sejarah di negara Skandinavia, termasuk di Denmark. Kedudukan Ombudsman Denmark atau dikenal sebagai Folketingets Ombudsmand, lembaga tersebut menjadi salah satu lembaga penting dalam sistem ketatanegaraan disana. Sedangkan di Indonesia keududukannya kurang mendapat perhatian. Perbedaan inilah yang membuat penulis tertarik untuk membandingkannya. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan mikro jenis bodies of norm, yaitu perbandingan hukum yang menggunakan Undang-Undang sebagai dasar untuk melakukan perbandingan, yang dipakai adalah Undang-Undang Nomor 37 Tahun 2008 tentang Ombudsman Republik Indonesia dibandingkan dengan The Ombudsman Act Denmark. Sedangkan untuk metode perbandingan hukum menggunakan analytical method. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah untuk dilakukan rekonstruksi hukum pada Undang-Undang Nomor 37 Tahun 2008 tentang Ombudsman Republik Indonesia dengan mengadopsi dari apa yang ada di The Ombudsman Act Denmark. harapannya adalah eksistensi ORI begitu disegani dan rekomendasi dari ORI tidak sekadar mengikat secara moral melainkan mengikat secara hukum.

What is specific in the efforts of the Slovenian state institutions to handle the current economic, political, and cultural crisis in the country? The answer is searched for in the media representations of the building of a new government in February 2012. The analysis is focused on five major functions of modern states: security provision, regulation of macro-economy, administration, reproduction of human resources, and environmental protection. The source of primary information for the analysis and argumentation is the daily newspaper Delo (Labor). Relevant publications in the newspaper were differentiated by applying two criteria: first, predominant reference to one of the five functions of the state; second, if the article contains no alternative (1) or presents a strong alternative to a given situation, event or opinion related to the state functions (5) on a 5-point scale. The analysis identifies a large share of publications focusing on the administrative function of the state and rather limited share of publications on security issues and environmental protection. The analyzed publications contain only modest efforts to present and discuss alternatives to political situations and opinions. The hypothesis about alleged colonization of politics by mass media is falsified.

This research aims to examine the reformulation meaning of legal standing of state institutions in authority disputes cases between state institutions and the juridical implications of the legal standing of auxiliary state institutions as parties in the authority disputes cases of state institutions. Authority disputes may arise along with the development of state institutions based on their needs and interests in dealing with certain legal issues. This approach uses a normative method with descriptive analytical specifications. The results of the study show that the meaning of state institutions which can be the legal standing in the authority disputes cases between state institutions is not only interpreted by state institutions that are formed and given authority according to the 1945 Constitution. Auxiliary state institutions, which on the one hand carry out their functions as a form of derivation from the 1945 Constitution, can become state institutions litigating at the Constitutional Court. Regarding the implications of determining legal standing for state institutions that are formed by laws to litigate at the Constitutional Court, in fact it does not change the authority of the Constitutional Court itself according to Article 24c of the 1945 Constitution. The state institutions that become the legal standing at the Constitutional Court must of course be able to prove that their objectum litis is a derivation of the constitution.

Abstract Indonesia is a country that is limited by the constitution, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1 paragraph (2) and (3) of the 1945 Constitution. What is carried out by the executive, legislative, and judicial institutions with different roles, functions and tasks that do not intervene with each other, but are interconnected and intersecting. For example, the DPR Questionnaire Rights to the KPK raises pros and cons, because there are those who think that the KPK cannot be submitted to a questionnaire, but there are those who think that the KPK can also be asked for a questionnaire by the DPR. Questionnaire rights are one of the rights owned by the DPR in carrying out the supervisory function by conducting an investigation of the implementation of a law and/or government policy relating to important, strategic, and broad impacts on the life of the community, nation and state that are allegedly contradictory with the law. KPK is a state institution formed based on the Law so that it is an Organ of Law, but that does not mean that the state institution has no legal or unconstitutional position. KPK is not explicitly mentioned in the 1945 Constitution, but both have constitutional importance in the constitutional system, and even the Constitutional Court states that the term state institution is not always mentioned in the 1945 Constitution, but also formed on the basis of orders from regulations under the constitution. Thus the existence of the KPK as an institution tasked with eradicating corruption is not outside the constitutional system, but instead is placed constitutionally and acknowledged its existence in the constitutional system as one of the state institutions.   Keywords: DPR, Hak Angket, KPK

AbstractThe basic principles of the state in order to be operational must be spelled out in relation to the pattern of power between state institutions, Implementation of the explanation of relations is done through the constitution, the attitude for need of Indonesian citizens to understand in full and complete about the various relationships between state institutions in the perspective of the UUD NRI 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to know how the background or history of the Constitution. to know and analyze how the relation of state institutions today, and how the practice of institutional arrangements in the current era of reform., after being conducted four times the amendment of the Constitution. This research method used normative juridical. The result of this research is the natural implementation of law enforcement power, for example, even though it is determined that the power to make law is owned by DPR, but in its implementation requires cooperation with the co legislator, that is the President and the DPD (for the design of certain laws), a provision of law which has obtained the approval of the DPR and the President and has been ratified and make the law can say no legal force binding the Constitutional Court (MK), if declared contradictory to the� Constitution.� This shows a very serious problem with regard to the relation of state institutions after the amendment (post-reform). so the conclusion is that if the arrangement of relation of state institution fails to do, it will result in the weakening of the state system which is based on the principles of democracy, state law and constitutionalism. The function of each power must adhere to the principle of trias politics.Keywords: Relation, regulation, institution.�AbstrakPrinsip-prinsip dasar yang ada di negara agar menjadi operasional, harus harus dijabarkan ke dalam relasi pola kekuasaan antara lembaga negara. Implementasi penjabaran relasi itu di lakukan melalui konstitusi. Bahkan, perlunya sikap warga negara Indonesia (WNI) memahami secara utuh dan lengkap mengenai berbagai relasi antar lembaga negara dalam perspektif UUD NRI 1945. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana latar belakang atau sejarah perubahan UUD NRI 1945, untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis bagaimana relasi lembaga negara saat ini, setelah dilakukan empat kali perubahan UUD NRI 1945 serta untuk mengetahui dan� menganalisis bagaimana praktek penataan kelembagaan di era� roformasi sekarang ini. Metode penelitian ini mneggunakan yuridis normative dengan alat pengumpul data melalui studi kepustakaan dan untuk menganalisnya menggunakan deskriptif analisis. Hasil penelitian ini adalah alam pelaksanaan kekuasaan pembuatan undang-undang misalnya, walaupun ditentukan kekuasaan membuat undang-undang duni�liki oleh DPR, namun dalam pelaksanaannya membutuhkan kerja sama dengan colegislator, yaitu Presiden dan DPD (untuk rancangan un�dang-undang tertentu), bahkan suatu ketentuan undang-undang yang telah mendapatkan persetujuan bersama DPR dan Presiden serta te�lah disahkan dan diundangkan pun dapat dinyatakan tidak mempunyai kekuatan hukum mengikat oleh Mahkamah Konsitusi (MK) jika dinyatakan bertentangan de�ngan UUD 1945. Hal ini menunjukkan persoalan yang sangat serius berkenaan dengan relasi lembaga negara setelah amandemen (pasca reformasi). Kesimpulan yaitu jika penataan relasi lembaga negara gagal dilakukan, maka akan berakibat pada makin melemahnya sistem ketatanegaraan yang di dasarkan pada prinsip-prinsip demokrasi, negara hukum, dan konstitusionalisme. Fungsi kekuasaan masing-masing harus berpegang pada prinsip trias politika.Kata kunci : Relasi, penataan, kelembagaan.
