This study aims to determine the legal politics of dismissing the President and / or Vice President in Indonesia. The research method used normative research with a statute approach and a conceptual approach and analyzed descriptive qualitative. The results show that the dismissal of the President and / or Vice President in Indonesia is based on an understanding of a democratic state and an understanding of the rule of law . The application of the concept of a democratic state is carried out through a prior statement of opinion by the DPR and dismissal by the MPR. Meanwhile, the application of the rule of law is carried out through a legal process (forum previlegiatum), namely through examination of trials and decisions in the Constitutional Court. The choice of law is intended to strengthen the presidential system which adheres to the fixed term principle of the position of President and / or Vice President and to ensure the implementation of a stable state government.

Abstract The paper with the title “Constitutional Justice” aims to analyse a topic of urgent actuality and of particular importance in the contemporary society. We have tried to show in this paper the importance of the Constitutional control in the rule of law. Starting from the idea of necessity of existence of a Constitution in a democratic State and, implicitly, of a body to follow-up the compliance with its provision, we have tried to highlight in this paper the role of Romanian Constitutional Court and not only, by presenting one of its most important attributions which is the control of the law constitutionality.

В статье на основе решений Конституционного Суда Российской Федерации анализируются конституционная природа выборов и их роль в обеспечении народного представительства. Опираясь на сформулированные этим Судом правовые позиции, авторы исследуют конституционные стандарты выборов в демократическом правовом государстве, не оставляя без внимания наиболее «узкие» места современной российской избирательной системы. Так, авторы рассматривают проблемы реализации как активного, так и пассивного избирательного права, такие как «муниципальный фильтр» на выборах высшего должностного лица субъектов Российской Федерации, информатизация избирательного процесса, использование избирательного залога, создание избирательных блоков, судебное обжалование результатов выборов по обращениям избирателей. This article is based on the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation; it analyzes the constitutional nature of elections and their role in en-suring popular representation. Based on the legal positions formulated by this Court, the authors examine the constitutional standards of elections in a democratic state based on the rule of law, without disregarding the most bottlenecks in the modern Russian electoral system. Thus, the authors have reviewed the problems of realizing both active and passive voting rights such as the “municipal filter” in elections of top official of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, informatization of the electoral process, the use of electoral deposit, complaints creation of electoral blocs and judicial review of election results based on voters' complaints.

Normative Status

AbstractCan a constitutional norm be unconstitutional? This idea seems, at first sight as a self-contradiction. Unconstitutionality is commonly referred to those ordinary laws, inferior to the constitution, which violate it. Constitutional norms, in contrast, carry an equal normative status as the constitution itself and other constitutional provisions. The question of unconstitutional constitutional norms recently arose in the Czech Republic. On 10 September 2009, the Czech Constitutional Court declared Constitutional Act no 195/2009 Coll, on Shortening the Fifth Term of Office of the Chamber of Deputies to be unconstitutional. The Czech Constitutional Court held that the constitutional act was an individual, specific decision and retroactive, thus violating the unamendability provision (Art 9(2)) in the Constitution, which prohibits amendments to the essential requirement for a democratic state governed by the rule of law. This article analyses the Czech Constitutional Court’s decision in a broader comparative and theoretical perspective and focuses, mainly, on four issues: first, the Czech Constitutional Court’s authority to substantively review constitutional norms; second, the appropriate standard of review when exercising judicial review of constitutional norms; third, the ‘individual, specific’ character of the constitutional act; and fourth, its alleged retroactive application. The article claims that while the Czech Constitutional Court was generally correct in claiming an authority to substantively review even constitutional norms, this was not the appropriate case in which to annul a constitutional act.

The Right

The availability of the mandament van spolie in cases where a statutory provision provides for despoilment has been dealt with in a recent Constitutional Court judgment, handed down on 15 May 2014 (Ngqukumba v Minister of Safety and Security 2014 (5) SA 112 (CC)). In this case the Court had to decide on the question whether the mandament van spolie, as a common-law remedy aimed to restore lost possession, can be granted by the Court despite the fact that section 68(6)(b) of the National Road Traffic Act 93 of 1996 prohibits possession “without lawful cause” of a motor vehicle of which the engine or chassis number has been falsified or mutilated. The question was answered in the affirmative. The Court held that the mandament van spolie can be granted, despite the prohibition against the return of the vehicle as provided for by the Traffic Act. This is also the case despite the fact that section 31(1)(a) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 provides for almost the same relief as that which can be achieved by the mandament van spolie, except that the remedy provides for an urgent relief, and it is more cost-effective than resorting to the CPA. In terms of a mandament van spolie, a person who has been unlawfully despoiled of possession may apply to the Court for this remedy, claiming restoration of that possession. The main purpose of the remedy is to protect lost possession of the property by the applicant. This remedy is only concerned with whether the applicant was in factual possession (ius possessionis) of the property, whether movable or immovable, rather than the right to possess (ius possidendi). The merits of the case are therefore not considered by the Court in an application for a mandament van spolie. The aim is to prevent people from taking the law into their own hands by prohibiting the taking of possession otherwise than in accordance with the law . There are two requirements that must first be met for a successful reliance on the mandament van spolie. Firstly, the applicant must prove on a balance of probabilities that he was in peaceful and undisturbed possession of the item. Secondly, the applicant must also prove that the respondent deprived him of possession unlawfully. The first requirement will not be discussed because it was not an issue in this case. A brief analysis of the second requirement will be conducted because of the role it played in this judgment. It is, however, important to mention that these requirements were not the subject of dispute in the present case. This note carries the view that the Ngqukumba judgment strengthened the applicability of the mandament van spolie in cases of dispossession where compliance with due legal process has been compromised. The judgment is important because it promotes the rule of law and due legal process, by ensuring that no one (including organs of State) is above the law. This is particularly true, taking into account the high volume of civil claims lodged by individuals against the Minister of Police in cases where police officials failed to comply with the law. The rule of law has both a procedural and a substantive component. The procedural component of the rule of law requires every action (be it by an individual or an organ of State) to be in accordance with the relevant provisions regulating that act. This is meant to prevent the abuse of power by individuals or Government institutions. The substantive component is concerned with the protection of rights, and this includes the right to dignity, privacy and property. The purpose of this note is threefold. Firstly, the facts, arguments and the judgment will be stated briefly. Secondly, this note will analyse the applicability of the remedy in cases where a statutory provision provides for despoilment. Thirdly, suggestions for a way forward for the applicability of the remedy in cases of a conflict with a statutory provision will be given.

The promulgation of the implementation of the Constitutional Court's decision is in the spotlight of other State Institutions that have repealed articles that have been canceled by the Constitutional Court in the new Law. Likewise with the authority of the Constitutional Court. In the process of presidential impeachment by the MPR there are indications that the Constitutional Court's Decision stating that the president and / or vice-president were proven guilty by the Constitutional Court can also be set aside, given the political process in the MPR which refers to the minimum decision-making conditions. The president is attended by at least ¾ of the total number of MPR members and is approved by at least 2/3 of the total members present. The research method used is a normative research method with the statue approach approach.

Tiesību principus kā pastāvīgus tiesību avotus ir pētījuši daudzi Latvijas tiesībzinātnieki, piemēram, profesore Daiga Rezevska, Valsts prezidents Egils Levits, profesore Ineta Ziemele u. c. Jau kopš 1994. gada Satversmes tiesa konsekventi savā doktrīnā vispārīgos tiesību principus ir atzinusi par noteikumu, kas ierobežo likumdevēja rīcības brīvību. Praksē, ja runā par vispārīgo tiesību principiem, visbiežāk piemin tiesiskumu, taisnīgumu, vienlīdzību un samērīgumu. Taču, attīstoties tiesību doktrīnai, ir atzīts, ka Satversmes pirmajā pantā noteiktais, ka Latvija ir demokrātiska tiesiska valsts, ir uzskatāms par pamatnormu, no kuras tiek atvasināti vispārīgie tiesību principi. 21. gadsimtā, ko daudzi pamatoti dēvē par digitālo gadsimtu, ir radušies jautājumi par vispārīgo tiesību principu saturu šajā informācijas sabiedrības laikmetā. Informācijas sabiedrību nosacīti raksturo trīs faktori: tehnoloģijas, globalizācija un informācija. Neviens no tiem pēc savas pirmatnējās būtības nav juridisks. Taču šie faktori pirmo reizi ir radījuši situāciju, ka jaunie tehnoloģiskie risinājumi tiecas iziet ārpus juridiskās kontroles robežām, apdraudot sabiedrības tiesiskumu un taisnīgumu. Tāpēc demokrātiskai sabiedrībai ir īpaši svarīgi, lai tiesību politikas veidotāji, apzinoties šos riskus, attīstītu tehnoloģiski neitrālu valsts tiesību politiku. Šādas politikas īstenošanu valsts var īstenot tikai tad, ja tehnoloģiskās neitralitātes princips tiek atzīts par vispārīgo tiesību principu, kas izriet no Satversmes 1. panta. General principles of law have been studied by many Latvian scholars including, professor Daiga Rezevska, Egils Levits, professor Ineta Ziemele, and many others. Since 1994, Constitutional Court of the Republic of Latvia has consistently recognized the general principles of law in its doctrine as a provision that restricts the freedom of action of the legislator. In practice, when talking about the general principles of law, most often the rule of law, justice, equality, proportionality have been mentioned. However, as the doctrine of law develops, four overriding principles are also defined in Latvian constitutional law: (1) democratic state system; (2) rule of law; (3) socially responsible state; (4) nation state, which is not reflected in the text of the Satversme, but as an idea falls within the core of the Satversme. The 21st century, which many call the digital age, has raised questions about the content of general legal principles in this role in the information society. This era is relatively characterized by three factors: technology, globalization and information. None of these is legal in nature. However, these factors have, for the first time, created a situation where new technological solutions threaten to go beyond legal control, jeopardizing the rule of law and justice in society. Therefore, in a democratic society, it is essentially important that legal policy makers are aware of these risks and develop state legal policy in technology-neutral path. In order to reach such a goal, the principle of technological neutrality shall be recognized as a general principle of law, which derives from Article 1 of the Satversme.

The Impact

This paper examines whether constitutional retrogression, the process through which democratically elected rulers use formal legal measures gradually to undermine democracy, has occurred in Indonesia, especially during the reign of President Joko Widodo. To this end, the paper analyzes the impact of the Widodo government's policies on three fundamental requirements of a democratic state: a democratic electoral system, rights to speech and association, and the rule of law. The paper finds that Widodo's government, in its efforts to contain the threat of Islamist populism, has indeed undermined all three of these elements to varying degrees. While Indonesia's democracy may yet be saved by the Constitutional Court, an institution that Widodo's government has until now failed to control, the Court cannot save democracy by itself. Its chances of doing so will depend on public support.

Abstract: The Plato's conception of the rule of law states that good governance is based on good law. The organization also spreads to the world of Supreme Court justices, the election caused a decadence to the institutional status of the House of Representatives as a people's representative in the government whose implementation was not in line with the decision of the Constitutional Court. Based on the decision of the Constitutional Court No.27/PUU-XI/2013 explains that the House of Representatives no longer has the authority to conduct due diligence and suitability (elect) to prospective Supreme Judges proposed by the Judicial Commission. The House of Representatives can only approve or disapprove candidates for Supreme Court Justices that have been submitted by the Judicial Commission. In addition, the proportion of proposed Supreme Court Justices from the judicial commission to the House of Representatives (DPR) has changed, whereas previously the Judicial Commission had to propose 3 (three) of each vacancy for the Justices, now it is only one of each vacant for Supreme Court Judges. by the Supreme Court. The House of Representatives no longer has the authority to conduct due diligence and suitability (elect) to prospective Supreme Judges proposed by the Judicial Commission. The House of Representatives can only "approve" or "disagree" the Supreme Judge candidates nominated by the Judicial Commission.

Strategic Position

The amendment of the Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 positioned the Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat no longer as the highest state institution and the highest sovereign of the people. This has implications for the authority of the Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat to have a strategic position, namely to UUD 1945, to stipulate GBHN, to elect the president and vice president through amendment of its authority to be very limited and weak. This paper examines jurisdictionally how to restore the privileges possessed by the Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat through the amendment of the UUD 1945. A normative legal research method with statute approach and conceptual approach is used to analyze this problem.The results of the study indicate that the MPR's repatriation in the main and vital position in the Indonesian state administration system is very important, namely through amendments to the material content of the UUD 1945 which must be implemented on an ongoing basis.

Research Questions

The present paper discusses the following research questions: to what extent did errors made by the previous presidents of Ukraine result in the country’s failure to introduce systemic reforms (e.g. combating corruption, the development of a foundation for a stable state under the rule of law and free-market economy)?; can it be ventured that the lack of radical reforms along with errors in the internal politics of Ukraine under Petro Poroshenko resulted in the president’s failure?; will the strong vote of confidence given to Volodymyr Zelensky and the Servant of the People party exact systemic reforms in Ukraine?; or will Volodymyr Zelensky merely become an element of the oligarchic political system in Ukraine?
