Proposing Publicity Leaving Church Apolitical Piety

This article seeks to release the Church from the false dichotomy of piety vs activeness in political issues, so that church members can optimally actualize piety and public responsibilities simultaneously. Apolitical piety has been running in GKS since its establishment on January 15, 1947, as the Dutch Reformed Church's evangelism legacy. Apolitical piety places the piety only as an individual's internal affair, not covering the public sphere. This discourse is a direct influence of Pietism, which began to develop in Europe in the 16th century. And Pietism itself was present as a response to Secularism, which originated in European society since the end Middle Ages. Like Pietism, Secularism also places the Church/religion and mystical aspects as personal human affairs because it doesn't want state life to be governed by or based on religion. But ideally, I view apolitical piety as the distorted discourse that should be abandoned and embrace new discourse: politics as an integral part of Church piety.

Hapusnya Wewenang Executive Review Pemerintah terhadap Peraturan Daerah: Studi Pasca-adanya Putusan MK Nomor 137/PUU-XIII/2015 dan Nomor 56/PUU XIV/2016

The Constitutional Court, on April 4, 2017, through the Decision No.137/PUU-XIII/2015 has invalidated the enactment of the rules that enabled a Governor to annul Regency/City Laws. On June 14, 2017, with the Decision No.56/PUU-XIV/2016, the Court also invalidated the authority of Ministry of Internal Affair to void Provincial Laws. These decisions brought about a question on whether the government still has the authority to revise those regional laws or it can only be taken through the material review to the judiciary. Based on the background, the authors formulated two problems. Firstly, what is the mechanism of government control of the Regional Regulation after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 137 / PUU-XIII / 2015 and the Court's Decision Number 56/PUU-XIV/2016? Secondly, what are the obstacles to judicial review of regional regulations in the Supreme Court? The research method applied in this paper is a normative method in which qualitative data are gathered and the statute and conceptual approaches are employed. First result, the government, both the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Governor, can oversee the regional law-making process through the executive preview mechanism and the annulation of both Province and Regency/City Laws is in the domain of the Supreme Court's authority. Second, the judicial review process in the Supreme Court has not fully met the legal principles of judicial review process, as it is not open to public, there is no deadline to finish the trial, and the Supreme Court’s decision is not supported by sufficient details of judges’ legal opinion.

Defining irredentism as a security phenomenon

Irredentism as an inevitable element of expansionistic strategy still remains a fascinating concept and a subject of research in political science and security intelligence to boot. The subject of this paper is the origin of irredentism as a security phenomenon, the analyses of its numerous transformations and the resilience of this phenomenon in all country legal systems. The specific attention has been appointed to typology of irredentism alongside the goal of identifying the irredentist strategies throughout history until today, accompanied by an aspiration to identify the current potentially irredentist countries. Expansionistic doctrine cannot be observed as an internal affair of a country, but it is a generator of international crises, potentially growing into regional and further into global conflict. Analysing numerous theoretical views in this field, the authors' intention has been to verify the structural characteristics of irredentism together with the initial partakers of conflicts alongside irredentist potential.

Rosja wobec separatyzmu katalońskiego (2014-2017)

Russia and Catalonian Separatism The article analyzes the attitude of Russia towards the increasing importance of Catalonian separatism. Moscow, despite its official recognition of the problemas Spain’s internal affair, has carried out various actions in order to strengthen the separatist movement, mainly by activity in cyberspace. The aims of these steps were to undermine the stability of West European states, to present them as violating human rights and to weaken NATO and the European Union. Russian actions were treated by Spain as directed against its territorial integrity and asa result, they increased awareness of this problem in the Spanish public opinion. As a consequence, a shift of Madrid’s policy towards Moscow is very highly probable.

Analisis Terhadap Aturan Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja dan Wilayatul Hisbah Aceh di Kabupaten/Kota

Permendagri Nomor 95 Tahun 2016 Tentang Perangkat Daerah Aceh tidak mengatur secara detail tentang Satpol PP dan WH. Satpol PP dan WH diatur dengan Qanun Aceh/Qanun Kabupaten/Kota atau Peraturan Gubernur/Peraturan Bupati/Walikota. Karena tidak ada aturan dari pemerintah pusat yang mengatur khusus tentang Satpol PP dan WH, mengakibatkan adanya perbedaaan struktur organisasi tata kerja, penyebutan nomenklatur dan standar operasional prosedur baik provinsi dengan kabupaten/kota maupun antara sesama kabupaten/kota. Untuk itu perlu aturan khusus yang bersifat nasional atau aturan dari pusat yang mengatur tentang Satpol PP dan WH di Aceh. Kepada Pemerintah Aceh dan Pemerintah Kabupaten/Kota diharapkan dapat mendorong Pemerintah Pusat melakukan upaya agar melahirkan regulasi yang bersifat nasional yang mampu mengakomodir kepentigan Satpol PP dan WH di Aceh dan terus melakukan review terhadap aturan yang sudah ada maupun yang akan dilahirkan nantinya. The Internal Affair Ministry Regulation Number 95, 2016 regarding Aceh Official Structure does not mention detailed regarding the organizational structure of the Municipal Police and the Sharia Police. The Governor or Head of Region/Major Regulation is only rule on the Municipal Police and the Sharia Police. Hence it has impact on the different structures of working unit organization, the wording and the standard operating procedure either provincial or local or between regions. It is recommended that it is necessary to enact special law, which is nationally ruling on the municipal and Sharia Police in Aceh. In addition, the government of Aceh and the Regional/municipal Government should encourage the central government to enact national laws on the interest of the polices in Aceh and these should be reviewed.

The Analysis of Geospatial Information for Validating Some Numbers of Islands in Indonesia

This article discusses a comparison of various numbers of islands in Indonesia; and it addresses a valid method of accounting or enumerating numbers of islands in Indonesia. Methodology used is an analysis to compare the different number of islands from various sources. First, some numbers of Indonesian islands were derived from: (i) Centre for Survey and Mapping- Indonesian Arm Forces (Pussurta ABRI) recorded as 17,508 islands; (ii) Agency for Geospatial Information (BIG) previously known as National Coordinating Agency for Surveys and Mapping (Bakosurtanal) as national mapping authority reported with 17,506 islands (after loosing islands of Sipadan and Ligitan); (iii) Ministry of Internal Affair published 17,504 islands.

In the other hand, the number of 13,466 named islands has a strong document (Gazetteer). Second, enumerating the total number of islands in Indonesia can be proposed by three ways: (i) island census through toponimic survey, (ii) using map, and (iii) applying remote sensing images. Third, the procedures of searching valid result in number of islands is by remote sensing approach - high resolution satellite images. The result of this work implies the needs of one geospatial data source (including total numbers of islands) in the form of ‘One Map Policy’ that will impact in the improvement of Indonesian geographic data administration.

The researcher recommended states to put international conventions and declarations related to human rights into execution in order not make it a justification as internal affairs when it has been interfered. He also recommended to consider any interference without the UN acceptance or under its control as illegal, and to consider it as aggressive transaction according to UN character and according to Rome statute which established the ICC.
