INDONESIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURTS’ AUTHORITY UNDER DIGITAL GLOBALIZATION’S DEMAND

Abstract

This article is meant to see from the perspective of legal-academic using secondary approach regarding the Indonesian Constitutional Courts’ Authority in the most recent era. Whereas the regulation of Indonesia has been generally and gradually updated, the Constitutional Courts’ authority appears in “Pasal 24C ayat (1) UUD 1945, tugas Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagaimana juga kewenangan Mahkamah Konstitusi, antara lain menguji UU terhadap UUD 1945, memutus sengketa kewenangan lembaga negara yang kewenangannya diberikan oleh UUD 1945, memutus pembubaran partai politik, dan memutus perselisihan hasil pemilu”. However, the 4.0 era, if not 5.0 era, appears to challenge the current regulation within constant demand of how the courts in overall will be held via online and will no longer have further requirements that is considered lacking in contributing of, mainly, quick settlement. In hope of that, the Constitutional Court is also one of the courts in Indonesia with high demands on both proposed regulations as well as what has been written in Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 to be able to adapt and resolves under the demand of simplicity and quick settlement.
