Abstract
From the outset, the Job Creation Bill was aimed at
strengthening large-scale companies and investors. It is unfortunate because
the formulation process was closed, rushed, including ignoring the principle of
prudence in formulating changes to hundreds of articles of various laws without
taking into account the social, economic, political and cultural impacts that
will inevitably arise. Its formulation which involves business elites and
pro-capital academics is also truly unfortunate. One of the legal issues
highlighted is Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and
Management (PPLH), especially related to Amdal
(Analysis of Environmental Impacts). Where there is a legal issue that states
this AMDAL is deleted. The purpose of this study is to examine the legal norms
that contradict the constitutional rights of citizens as guaranteed in the 1945
Constitution in the formation of the Job Creation Law. The method used in this
research is a qualitative method. The author uses a qualitative descriptive
method in this research, as well as a literature study. The research in this
paper is in the field of juridical-normative law. The results of the study
Based on the various difficulties in the formation of the law, it seems that
the Indonesian people have long felt as a developing country. The difficulties
in the formation of this law are now more felt by the Indonesian people, who
are currently facing various social problems based on multi-dimensional
structural and cultural problems. In fact, the formation of this law now and in
the future will continue to increase in response to the demands of the community
along with the increasing complexity of the development and conditions of
society. This can be seen from the demonstration against the Ratification of
the Omnibus Law on Job Creation.
Keywords: legal, norms, constitutional, citizens, law
Introduction
With
a relatively short preparation time, the DPR finally passed the Job
Creation Bill (formerly known as Job Creation
aka Cilaka) as law on Monday
(5/10/2020). Many parties have expressed concern over the substance of this
law. Given its broad and complex
scope, attention to the Job
Creation Law tends to be partial:
it focuses on certain clusters. In addition,
there was a protest demonstration where hundreds of demonstration participants consisting of elements of
the Labor Union and Students from
various universities held an action
against the Omnibus Law
Bill. One of the reasons for this
refusal was the preparation of the Draft
Job Creation Bill which was carried
out by the
Government in a non-transparent
manner and without involving elements of civil
society which would later be
affected. Representatives from the Jepara Regency FSPMI during the speech
said that the birth of
this omnibus law was a legal defect because it did
not involve the community in its preparation. According to him, when
he saw and witnessed the omnibus law, he was born
with a disability. Many legal experts, economists say, that this omnibus law is legally flawed
because in its preparation it does not involve the community, they only involve
Kadin and businessmen. According to the
participants of the action, the
draft law that the Government
predicts will attract investors to create new
jobs and absorb unemployment, as well as reduce poverty. It turns out
that the articles contained in it actually contain
things that are potentially harmful and ignore the
fulfillment of the rights of
workers, farmers, fishermen, journalists and other civil
society groups.
The public's
rejection of the ratification of the Job
Creation Omnibus Law was caused by several
articles that were considered not in favor of the community
and not in accordance with the needs
of the community,
even criminalizing the community itself.
Related to this, it is
interesting to see from the
perspective of the sociology of
law. One of the most widely
discussed discourses related to legislation
in this context is the omnibus law discourse. Jimmy Usfunan said that
there are at least 3 patterns in the omnibus law, namely "omnibus law which is a review
of the law,
setting new materials and revoking
related regulations, and setting economic
policies.
Based on the description
of the background
above, the Omnibus Law on Job Creation
is related to changes in a democratic society, leading to the
goal of people's
happiness. So that the Omnibus Law on Job Creation
needs to be analyzed in depth so that
it does not run away from
the teachings of the sociology
of law itself.
So the focus
of writing this article is
how to compose
the Omnibus Law in Democratic
Society Changes and how to
analyze the Omnibus Law on Job Creation
in the Sociology of Law Perspective. So it is important for lawmakers
to know and
understand that the process of
drafting a draft law is an
integral part of the law-making system. The ability to conceptualize the translation of a policy into
a draft law that can be
implemented effectively is required to
produce the desired social impact. To draw up a draft law,
a study is needed that is supported
by the theory
that this draft law was
not made carelessly. This study will be a persuasive consideration of a draft law. There
are four problem-solving steps as a methodology to show that
the proposed bill is based
on an experiential
premise. The four steps are “identifying the difficulty, proposing and warranting
explanations, proposing a solution, and monitoring
and evaluating implementation.”
The legal basis for the Drafting of Legislations in
Indonesia today is Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Establishment of
Legislations, as amended through Law Number 15 of 2019. Ademik
Manuscripts as the basis for drafting laws and regulations Manuscripts Academic
is a conception of the regulation of a problem (type of legislation) which is
studied theoretically and sociologically. Theoretically, it examines the
philosophical basis, juridical basis and political basis of a problem that will
be regulated so that it has a strong regulatory foundation. The philosophical
basis is the philosophical basis or view that forms the basis of ideals when
pouring a problem into legislation. The juridical basis is a legal provision
that becomes the legal basis (rechtsgrond) for the
making of laws and regulations so that there is no legal conflict or legal
conflict with the legislation above. The political basis is a political policy
that becomes the next basis for policies and directions for government
administration. Sociologically, Academic Manuscripts are prepared by examining
the reality of society which includes the legal needs of the community,
socio-economic aspects and values that live and develop in society. According
to Maria Farida, the existence of various types of laws and regulations in the
Republic of Indonesia which are arranged in a hierarchical arrangement also
results in differences in the function, as well as the content of the various
types of laws and regulations. Thinking about the importance of this Academic
Manuscript is motivated by at least two reasons, namely substantive reasons and
technical reasons. The substantive reason is intended to obtain a good,
applicable and futuristic draft law. In addition, when a draft law has been
supported by an adequate academic document, the debate in the discussion of the
draft law in the legislature can be more efficient.
So it is important for lawmakers to know and
understand that the process of drafting a draft law is an integral part of the
law-making system. The ability to conceptualize the translation of a policy
into a draft law that can be implemented effectively is required to produce the
desired social impact. To draw up a draft law, a study is needed that is
supported by the theory that this draft law was not made carelessly. This study
will be a persuasive consideration of a draft law. According to Ann Seidman and
colleagues, there are four problem-solving steps as a methodology to show that
the proposed draft law is based on a premise based on experience. The four
steps are “identifying the difficulty, proposing and warranting explanations,
proposing a solution, and monitoring and evaluating implementation.”
Regarding the ratification of the omnibus law,
according to the government, the spread of various labor arrangements makes it
difficult and there is no legal unity. In addition, it is possible that there
will be legal disharmony, both vertically and horizontally. This needs to be an
awareness of the government and legislators in order to create a complete,
simple, efficient and effective investment law in creating a good investment
climate in Indonesia through the omnibus law. According to Black's Law
Dictionary, omnibus law is A single bill containing various distinct matters,
usu. drafted in this way to force the executive either to accept all the
unrelated minor provisions or to veto the major provisions. Or simply it can be
interpreted as a single law that can change several laws at once. Omnibus law
is a law made to target major issues in a country. This law is intended to
streamline regulations in terms of numbers, and simplify regulations to make
them more targeted.
Research Method
The author
uses a qualitative descriptive method in this research, as well as a literature study. The research in this paper is in the
field of juridical-normative law. Juridical-normative writing, also known as normative
legal research, is a type of library
research that focuses on secondary
data. This study uses a literature review of phenomena that
can be studied
and observed. The author will define
in advance what will be studied
in this study. Then, based on the
predetermined goals, perform all actions.
The unit of analysis in this study is a reference, which is a series of
words or sentences that indicate something meaningful in accordance with the category
of Government Regulations related to the Copyright
Act. The difficulties encountered in the ratification of the Copyright Act.
Researchers collected information related to copyright law
from various media, both electronic, print, and online
media, as well as analyzed articles in national and international journals.
Results And Discussion
Here it is necessary to highlight the procedural flaws
in the formation of the Act or the Job Creation Act. This Omnibus Law is proof
that the Government and DPR are not serious in making legal products. This is
due to many procedural defects since the initial working meeting to discuss the
bill. In addition, several articles were added and revised again after
obtaining approval from the legislative body. In fact, after the approval can not be revised again. Typo though, it's not allowed.
That means, the DPR is not serious about making laws. In theory there are 5
stages in the formation of laws. Stages 1 to 3 are procedural technocracy. That
is, it is at this stage that a critical assessment is carried out involving
many experts and related stakeholders. However, the council did not receive a
physical copy of the draft job creation law when the plenary session was held.
Usually, a copy of the bill that will be passed is distributed by the officer
on duty at the attendance desk of the members of the Council. This provision
has been regulated in the MD3 Law and the DPR's Rules of Procedure.
Meanwhile, at the approval stage, the regulation
should no longer be disturbed or revised to be later ratified into law by the
president. There is no need to comb through the articles because they have been
discussed at the working committee and level one meetings. From the start, the
drafting of the Job Creation Bill was problematic because it did not involve
public participation in its formulation process. Since the preparation of the
Academic Paper until it becomes a Bill which is then submitted to the DPR, the
process of formulating the Job Creation Bill is entirely left exclusively to
the Government Task Force and KADIN based on the Decree of the Coordinating
Minister for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 378 of 2019
concerning the Joint Task Force of the Government and the Chamber of Commerce
and Industry for Omnibus Public Consultation. Law. Although Article 4 of the
Coordinating Minister for the Economy states that the Task Force in carrying
out its duties may involve ministries/non-ministerial government agencies,
local governments, stakeholders, academics and other parties as deemed
necessary, in reality many stakeholders are not involved in the process of
formulating the Job Creation Bill. .
Legal
Norms Contrary to the Constitutional
Rights of Citizens as Guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution in the Establishment of the Job
Creation Law
The government formulated the Vision for Indonesia Forward 2045 as a strategic step to make Indonesia one of the
top 5 (five) world economic powers by 2045. To make it happen, the
government expects an "investment wave" to accelerate
the development process. However, overlapping and disharmony of sectoral
laws are the main obstacles to creating
a friendly investment climate for investors.
It is on
this basis that deregulation and debureaucratization need to be carried
out. Many laws and regulations
(Laws) want to be trimmed,
amended, even need to create
new norms (which did not exist
before) through one law at
once which was popularized as the Omnibus Law. This Omni Bus is
considered to create a friendly investment climate through simplification of licensing, ease
of requirements, and accelerated processes for business
players (domestic and foreign) in Indonesia. The idea of the
Omnibus Law is not new. It is noted
that the government once breathed this idea into
the public in 2017. Then, it is
still strong in our memories in September 2019 the Government and the Indonesian House of Representatives failed to ratify
various bills and revisions to
laws, including the Land Bill after reaping a wave of protests from
the wider community. A month later, the government
began to voice the Omnibus Law intensively. In his official speech (20/10/2019), the President of the
Republic of Indonesia at the inauguration of the elected
president at the Indonesian Parliament Building reconfirmed the government's plans and needs
to make the
Omnibus Law, as well as asked
for political support from the
Indonesian Parliament. The excerpt
of his speech is as follows: “We must simplify all
forms of regulatory obstacles, we must cut them,
we must trim them. The government will invite the
DPR to issue two major laws.
The first is the Employment Creation Act. The second is the
MSME Empowerment Law. Each of these laws
will become an omnibus law, namely one law
that simultaneously revises several laws, even dozens
of laws…”
AMDAL was originally named Environmental Impact Analysis (ADL) which was derived from
the 1969 National Environmental
Protection Act (NEPA) in the United States. In the
National Environmental Protection
Act (NEPA) 1969, Environmental
Impact Analysis (ADL) is intended as a tool to plan preventive
actions against environmental damage that may be
caused by a planned development activity. In essence, the AMDAL document can provide a scientifically
clear portrait of the analysis
of activities and the possible
impacts of an activity. In this regard, the
position of the AMDAL is very
strategic in terms of preventive protection
in licensing an environmentally sound activity. The juridical definition of AMDAL can be found
in Article 1 number 11 of Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH), which is as follows:
An analysis of environmental impacts, hereinafter referred to as AMDAL, is a study of the significant
impacts of a business and/or
activities planned in the environment that are needed for the decision-making
process regarding the implementation of businesses and/or activities.
Then
in Article 1 point 2 of Government Regulation
Number 27 of 2012 concerning Environmental Permits also explained
the definition of AMDAL, which is as follows: Environmental Impact Analysis or Amdal is: A study of the significant impact of a planned
Business and/or Activity on the
environment required for decision-making process regarding the implementation of Business and/or Activities. The AMDAL document is a benchmark
that is made
based on the mandatory provisions
of the legislation
as mandated by the UUPPLH, in which every activity and/or business
that has a large and significant impact on the
environment must have an AMDAL. Article 36 paragraph (1) of Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH) states that "Every business and/or activity
that is required
to have an
Amdal or UKL-UPL must have an environmental
permit".
Every
business and/or activity that
is required to have an
Amdal or UKL-UPL is required to have
an Environmental Permit (Article 36 paragraph (1) of Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management). paragraph (1) of Law Number 32 of 2009 that: "Everyone who carries
out a business and/or activity
without having an environmental permit as referred to in Article 36 paragraph (1), shall be punished with
imprisonment for a minimum of 1 (one) year
and a maximum of 3 (three) years.
(three) years and a minimum fine of IDR 1,000,000,000.00 (one billion rupiah) and a maximum of IDR 3,000,000,000.00 (three billion rupiah)". (Article 109 paragraph (1)
UUPPLH). “The official granting
a business and/or activity permit
issuing a business and/or activity
permit without being equipped with an environmental
permit as referred to in Article 40 paragraph (1) shall be sentenced to
a maximum imprisonment of 3 (three) years.
) years and a maximum fine of
Rp. 3,000,000,000.00 (three billion
rupiah)”. (Article 111 paragraph
(2) UUPPLH).
Those
who support the omnibus law regulation related to Amdal, state that there is
no abolition of the environmental
impact analysis (AMDAL) permit in the Job
Creation Act (UU Cipta
Kerja) or the Omnibus Law
in the environmental sector. Environmental approval is a basic
requirement for Business Licensing. The AMDAL is only made simple
so that the
rules are not complicated.
The Job Creation Law stipulates that the basic principles
and concepts of AMDAL do not change, they remain
in accordance with the previous provisions.
Changes are only related to providing
convenience in obtaining environmental approval. Environmental permits are integrated into Business Licensing to streamline
the licensing system and strengthen
law enforcement.
AMDAL is returned to the
actual functions and processes, namely technical and scientific documents of environmental
feasibility studies which are then used as requirements for business permits
containing provisions or obligations from environmental aspects. Environmental permit stages are summarized into 3 stages, namely the environmental document process, environmental approval and Business Licensing. The above is reinforced
by Article 1 Point 11 which states that AMDAL is a study of the
significant impacts on the environment
from a planned business and/or
activity, to be used as a prerequisite
for making decisions regarding the implementation
of a business and/or activity
as well as contained in a
Business Licensing, or approval of the
Central Government or Regional Government.
Based
on the old
provisions, the environmental permit was separated from
the Business Licensing, so if there
is a violation and sanctions are imposed on the
revocation of the permit, only
the environmental permit is revoked,
the business permit will continue
to run. However,
according to Susi, in the Job Creation
Law, environmental permits
are integrated with business permits, if there is
a violation and sanctions are subject to revocation of
permits, which are revoked as well as Business Permits. Environmental approval is the
basis for issuing Business Licensing as a State Administrative
Decree. Article 24 (paragraphs 1-6) also states that the
AMDAL document is the basis for an
environmental feasibility test. The Central Government or the
Regional Government shall stipulate an Environmental
Feasibility Decision based on the
results of the environmental feasibility test.
Environmental
Eligibility Decision as a requirement for the issuance of
Business Licensing, or approval from the
Central Government or Regional Government. Meanwhile Article 37 explains, Business Licensing can be canceled
if the issuance
does not meet the requirements as stated in the Environmental
Eligibility Decree or Environmental Management Ability Statement; or the
obligations stipulated in the AMDAL or UKL-UPL document are not carried out by the
person in charge of the business and/or activity. The rejection of the
omnibus law on the job creation
law continues. Several parties criticized the AMDAL regulation in the Omnibus Law. A number of changes
that occurred in the Amdal provisions in the Job Creation
Law, as summarized by
Tempo, include the following:
a. Feasibility Test Team
In Article
24 of the PPLH Law, the Amdal document is the basis for
determining environmental feasibility decisions. In the Omnibus Law, amdal remains the basis for environmental
due diligence. But a number of
new provisions were added. First, the feasibility test was carried out
by a team formed by the
Central Government Service
Testing Institute. This team consists of
central, local government, and certified experts. The center and the
regions then make a decision on environmental feasibility based on the test
results. This joint decision is a condition for a business to get a permit.
b. Affected Communities
The
government made the provisions in the amdal document more stringent. In Article 25 letter c of the PPLH Law, the Amdal document contains suggestions for input and
community responses to the business
plan. In the PPLH Law, there
are three community criteria. Two of them are those who are affected and those who
are affected by all forms of
decisions in the amdal process. But in the Omnibus Law, the criteria are further clarified to "relevant directly affected communities"
c. The
role of environmentalists
is crossed out
In Article
26 paragraph 3 of the PPLH Law, environmentalists
are included in one of the three
criteria for the community to
be involved in the preparation of the Amdal document.
But in the Omnibus Law, there is no
longer a place for environmental observers in the preparation of the Amdal. However, the government has added a new paragraph
in Article 26 of this. It reads,
"Further provisions regarding the process
of community involvement are regulated by a Government Regulation (PP)."
d. Transparent Information
In Article
26 paragraph 2 of the PPLH Law, community involvement in the preparation of the Amdal document must be carried
out based on the principle
of providing transparent and complete information, and being notified
before the activity is carried
out. In the Omnibus Law, this provision is crossed out.
e. Amdal
Compilation Criteria
In
Article 28 of the PPLH Law, the Amdal document must be
prepared by a person who has a certificate of competence in making amdal.
The criteria and competency certificates have also been
regulated in the PPLH Law.
For example, Amdal drafters
are required to have the ability
to prepare environmental management and monitoring plans to obtain
a competency certificate. However, this rule
was removed and further regulated
through a Government Regulation (PP).
f. EIA
Assessment Commission Removed
One
of the drastic
changes is the abolition of
the Amdal assessment commission in the Omnibus Law. Articles 29, 30, and 31 in the PPLH Law that regulate this commission
are crossed out. So far, this
commission consists of a combination of government, academia, and the
community. In Article 30 of the PPLH Law, there are six elements
that are members of the commission.
From the government side, it is represented
by environmental agencies and related
technicians. From academics, experts are represented in the field of the
type of business
carried out and experts in the field of
impact caused by the business.
From the community, namely those who are potentially
affected, as well as environmental organizations.
Enforcement of environmental law (environmental enforcement) must be seen as a tool
(an end). The purpose of environmental
law enforcement is compliance with
the values of protecting ecosystem
carrying capacity and environmental functions which are generally formalized into laws and
regulations, including provisions governing waste or emission
quality standards. Preventive efforts in the context of
controlling environmental impacts need to
be carried out by making maximum
use of monitoring
instruments by taking into account
the conditions stated in the permit.
In the event that environmental pollution and damage
have occurred, it is necessary
to take repressive
efforts in the form of effective,
consistent, and consistent law enforcement against environmental pollution and damage that
has occurred. Therefore, it is necessary
to develop a legal system for environmental
protection and management that is clear, firm,
and comprehensive in order to ensure legal certainty as the basis for the protection
and management of natural resources and other development
activities.
Community participation in compiling the AMDAL document can use the
theory of deliberative democracy. The word "deliberation" comes from the
Latin word deliberatio which means consultation,
considering, or deliberation. Democracy is deliberative, if the process
of giving reasons for a public
policy candidate is tested first
through public consultation or “public discourse”. Deliberative democracy prioritizes the use of decision-making
procedures that emphasize deliberation and problem-solving through dialogue and exchange of
experiences between the parties and
citizens.8 The goal is to reach consensus
through deliberation based on the
results of discussions taking into account various
criteria. So that the theory
of deliberative democracy is to
prioritize between ideas and between
parties.
In
this regard, it turns out
that a legal issue arose in the Omnibus Law on Job Creation
which was ratified, Monday 5 October 2020, at Senayan,
Jakarta. After the enactment
of the Job
Creation Law, a number of rejections from
the public continued to occur
in several regions in
Indonesia. One of them is related to
the form of community involvement
in the Amdal permit in the Ciptaker Law. AMDAL was originally named Environmental Impact Analysis (ADL) which was derived
from the 1969 National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) in the United States.
In the National Environmental
Protection Act (NEPA) 1969,
Environmental Impact Analysis (ADL) is intended as a tool to plan preventive actions against environmental damage that may be
caused by a planned development activity.
In
essence, the AMDAL document can provide
a scientifically clear portrait of the
analysis of activities and the possible impacts
of an activity.
In this regard, the position of
the AMDAL is very strategic in terms of preventive
protection in licensing an environmentally sound activity. The juridical definition of AMDAL can be
found in Article 1 number 11 of Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH), which is as follows: An analysis of environmental
impacts, hereinafter referred to as AMDAL, is a study of the
significant impacts of a business and/or activities planned
in the environment that are needed for the decision-making
process regarding the implementation of businesses and/or activities.
Those who support the
omnibus law regulation related to Amdal, state that there
is no abolition
of the environmental
impact analysis (AMDAL) permit in the Job
Creation Act (UU Cipta
Kerja) or the Omnibus Law
in the environmental sector. Environmental approval is a basic
requirement for Business Licensing. The AMDAL is only made simple
so that the
rules are not complicated.
The Job Creation Law stipulates that the basic principles
and concepts of AMDAL do not change, they remain
in accordance with the previous provisions.

convenience in obtaining environmental approval. Environmental permits are integrated into Business Licensing to streamline
the licensing system and strengthen
law enforcement.

documents of environmental feasibility studies which are then used as requirements
for business permits containing provisions or obligations
from environmental aspects. Environmental permit stages are summarized into 3 stages, namely the environmental document process, environmental approval and Business Licensing. The above is reinforced
by Article 1 Point 11 which states that AMDAL is a study of the
significant impacts on the environment
from a planned business and/or
activity, to be used as a prerequisite
for making decisions regarding the operation
of a business and/or activity
and contained in a Business

Central Government or Regional Government.

provisions, the environmental permit was separated from
the Business Licensing, so if there
is a violation and sanctions are imposed on the
revocation of the permit, only
the environmental permit is revoked,
the business permit will continue
to run. However,
according to Susi, in the Job Creation

are integrated with business permits, if there is
a violation and sanctions are subject to revocation of
permits, which are revoked as well as Business Permits. Environmental approval is the
basis for issuing Business Licensing as a State Administrative
Decree. Article 24 (paragraphs 1-6) also states that the
AMDAL document is the basis for an
environmental feasibility test. The Central Government or the
Regional Government shall stipulate an Environmental
Feasibility Decision based on the
results of the environmental feasibility test.
Environmental Eligibility
Decision as a requirement for the issuance
of Business Licensing, or approval from
the Central Government or Regional Government. Meanwhile Article 37 explains, Business Licensing can be
canceled if the issuance does
not meet the requirements as stated in the Environmental Eligibility Decree or Environmental Management Ability Statement; or the
obligations stipulated in the AMDAL or UKL-UPL document are not carried out by the
person in charge of the business and/or activity. Amdal, in the PPLH Law, is classified as a prior approval instrument. That is, everyone
is prohibited from doing something
unless it has been approved. Through the regulations
above, it is clear that
the government is shifting the
position of EIA which is already
ideal in the law. The prior approval instrument consists of several categories,
while the Amdal itself is included
in the listing category, which is an activity
that must be limited and
required to follow a certain process, in this case an assessment
to ensure security and a process of public
involvement. Of course this is
reasonable considering that the Amdal regulates activities that have the
potential to have an impact
on environmental sustainability. It is not surprising that legal experts consider the prior
approval regulation to be the
most intensive government intervention. The trend of shifting
in the position of EIA in the latest
various regulations shows the wrong
paradigm of the government in assessing prior approval instruments. And that is
continued in the Omnibus
Law.
In addition, in the Job Creation
Law, the authority for spatial planning
is in the hands of the
central government. In Article 9 paragraph 1 states "The implementation of spatial planning
is carried out by the
central government,"
In Article 9 paragraph 2, it is written
that further provisions regarding the duties and
responsibilities of implementing spatial planning are regulated by government regulations.
In addition, what is also interesting
to discuss is that the
Job Creation Law discusses the spatial
component which is a reaffirmation of the provisions
of the OSS (Online Single Submission) or digital integrated licensing system. This system allows
the Regional Government
(Pemda) to digitally prepare a Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR). With RDTR, entrepreneurs' investment plans are easier to see by
using RDTR online.
This arrangement can also raise
new problems, including non-transparent data issues, land maladministration,
to the neglect
of the land
mafia and agrarian corruption, which must be eradicated
first to eliminate conflicts. Therefore, in conflict resolution, genuine agrarian reform must be carried
out, which can resolve agrarian
conflicts experienced by farmers, indigenous
peoples, poor people and solutions
to rural areas that still
overlap with claims by companies
and the state.
. One of the reasons for this
is the misuse
of land due
to the absence
of RDTR. In addition, the spatial planning
policy in the Job Creation Law requires the role
of the Regional Government in compiling and providing RDTR in digital form that is
in accordance with standards and can
be easily accessed by the
public to obtain information regarding the suitability
of the planned
location of activities and/or businesses with
the RDTR. Then, the Government integrates the digital form in the Electronic Business Licensing system in accordance with the provisions of the legislation.

The Job Creation Law also requires that national
spatial planning, provincial spatial planning, and district/city spatial planning
be carried out in stages and
in a complementary manner. That is, they
are arranged to complement each other and synergize
so that there
is no overlapping
of spatial planning arrangements. Elimination of strategic areas in regional governments, integration and digitization of RDTR, and tiered
and complementary spatial planning, show the pattern
of the central
role of the
central government in managing governance. space, from which
previously there was a distribution of authority to
local governments, through the Omnibus law on job
creation, to be returned, to
become centralized government authority.
Settlement of Legal
Norms Contrary to the Constitutional Rights of Indonesian Citizens as
Guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution in the Establishment of the Job Creation
Law
As previously mentioned, the community's rejection of
the Omnibus Law on Job Creation was caused by several articles that were
considered not in favor of the community and not in accordance with the needs
of the community, even criminalizing the community itself. In the sociology of
law. This shows that the law that is to be created through the establishment of
the Omnibus Law on Job Creation is not sensitive to community developments and
cannot adapt to changing conditions, so this invites rejection from the
community. Law is a rule to regulate society, therefore the law must be able to
follow the rhythm of community development, even the law must be able to direct
and encourage the development of society in a more precise and controlled
manner. Because of the existence of order as one of the objectives of law, thus
there is interclassification and interaction between
law and the development of society. Law which is seen as one of the important
aspects in society that aims to realize the formation of a comfortable and just
society, is sometimes ignored by a few people. So that people think that the
law has been injured, even its functions have been manipulated by those who do
have an interest.
In addition, in the sociology of law, this is also due
to the level of trust of the Indonesian people towards legal institutions
already at the level of "bad trust society" (bad trust from the
community). This is caused by the government's lack of seriousness in law
enforcement. Bentham emphasized the teachings of the sociology of law by
asserting that the aim of government and the purpose of law should be "the
greatest happiness of the community" or "the happiness of
society". Whatever the complexities surrounding the term social happiness,
Bentham's continued emphasis on this principle reminds us of the relationship
between law and society.
Viewed
from the perspective of the sociology of law, the inconsistent and
non-transparent law enforcement process ultimately affects the level of public
trust in the law and its apparatus. This then triggers the public assumption
that the law can no longer be trusted as a means of conflict resolution,
furthermore, it is not impossible that there are other parties who take
advantage of the inconsistency of law enforcement for their own interests and
those of their group. If you then compare the current events with past events,
it seems contradictory as it is known that one of the important and urgent
(crucial) legal reform agendas to be implemented is reform in law enforcement.
If the decline
in public trust continues, it will have the potential to lead to vigilante
action (eigenrichting), as for example occurred in
the demonstration against the Ratification of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation.
In the perspective of social psychology, such behavior is a form of the hostile
outburst that manifests itself in social unrest. The formation of laws is part
of the activity in regulating society which consists of a combination of human
individuals with all their dimensions, so that designing and forming laws that
can be accepted by the wider community is a difficult task.
Based on the
opinion of Satjipto Rahardjo,
law is for humans, while in practical human law science is more for law and
legal logic. this is one of the principles of progressive law. Because
progressive jurisprudence prioritizes humans, progressive jurisprudence does
not act submissively or simply submit to existing laws but is critical. In the
concept of progressive law, legal reform in Indonesia aims to establish a
national law, not merely intending to reform (ansich),
but also towards legal reforms with a progressive character, in which the
policy of legal reform is the concretization of a system of values. values
prevailing in society. An aspired state is the compatibility between the law
and these value systems. The consequence is that changes to the value system
must be followed by legal reform, or vice versa.
The Indonesian
state also upholds a sense of justice with the aim of protecting all its people
as stated in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution, namely "Then from that
to form an Indonesian state government that protects the entire nation and all
of Indonesia's bloodshed, and to promote general welfare, educate the nation's
life and participate in carrying out world order based on independence, eternal
peace and social justice, the independence of the Indonesian nation is
formulated in a Constitution of the State of Indonesia".
Justice needs to be prioritized over other things such
as legal certainty and usefulness. In the realm of law, we recognize three
purposes of law, namely justice, benefit and certainty. Why is justice placed
at the top of the other two goals? This indicates that justice is a major
element to achieve human happiness. Without justice, true happiness will never
be achieved. What if a law or regulation only prioritizes certainty without any
justice? It is certain that these laws/regulations will not be able to give
happiness to mankind and even tend to become weapons of destruction, so it can
be said that "laws made only based on legal certainty without justice in
them are tantamount to legalized crimes."
Observing the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, has it
fulfilled the element of justice which also protects the entire Indonesian
nation, especially the weak (labor)? Workers are socio-economically have a
weaker position than employers, sometimes even in a work agreement workers do
not have bargaining power (bargaining ability). This is because the number of
workers is not commensurate with the available jobs, so they inevitably take
the opportunity to work rather than not being able to do it at all, which in
the end is not a little arbitrarily in the making of the agreement. So there
needs to be government intervention in protecting workers through the Manpower
Law instrument which has the main element, namely justice.

Law instrument which has the main element, namely justice.
It is evident that the meaning of PKWT does not
provide justice in terms of working certainty, while termination of employment
only makes it difficult for workers if there is no agreement, because in the
end it is the workers who have to file a lawsuit to the court because the
workers feel aggrieved. It has become a general norm that those who feel
aggrieved are the ones who file a lawsuit. This means that if you look at the
article, only workers are interested in going to court, while
employers/employers are not burdened with it. If you take a closer look at the
contents of the above provisions, it is like going back to the colonial era
where the employment relationship/employment agreement was only due to the
worker binding himself to the employer as stated in the Civil Code Article
1601a, "A work agreement is an agreement that the first party, namely
workers, bind themselves to surrender their labor to another party, namely the
employer, with wages for a certain time" not a relationship/agreement that
has a reciprocal element as regulated in Article 1 of Law No. 13 of 2003
concerning Manpower, namely "Employment relations are the relationship
between the entrepreneur and the worker/labourer based
on a work agreement, which has elements of work, wages, and orders”, and “A
work agreement is an agreement between the worker/laborer and the entrepreneur
or employer that contains the working conditions, rights and obligations of the
parties. ".
In addition to the field of employment, it can also be
discussed in the field of the environment. Where in the Omnibus Law on Job
Creation where the right of community involvement in the AMDAL process and
Environmental Permits is removed. Where the provisions in Article 26 paragraph
4 of the PPLH Law which regulates "The public can file an objection to the
Amdal document," are deleted in the omnibus work
copyright law. Whereas what should be done is not eliminating Article 26
paragraph 4 of the PPLH Law, but the Government should have the Regulation of
the State Minister of the Environment of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of
2012 concerning Guidelines for Community Involvement in the AMDAL Process and
Environmental Permits carried out consistently covering all things that are
mandatory and things that are not mandatory by the government. all parties
involved in the process of preparing the AMDAL document.
Justice that must be prioritized is justice based on
Pancasila, namely justice that is divine, humane justice, justice oriented to
national unity, justice that sided with the people, and social justice that can
be felt by all people. especially when viewed from a legal point of view, the
basis of a state that uses Pancasila like that gives birth to a system that is
unique as the Indonesian legal system which is generally referred to as the
Pancasila legal system. The legal system or legal order itself can be
interpreted as a state of legal norms in a society that are not isolated from
each other. The norms are side by side with each other, and together form a
unity. So the legal system based on Pancasila should give birth to guiding
principles in national legal politics. The most common sign is a prohibition on
the emergence of laws that are contrary to the values of Pancasila. There
must be no law that is contrary to the values of divinity and civility, there
must be no law that is contrary to human values, there may not be a law that
has the potential to damage the ideological and territorial integrity of the
Indonesian nation and state, there must be no law that violates the law. the
principle of popular sovereignty and most importantly the law that violates the
values of social justice. This shows that the law that is intended to be
created through the establishment of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation only
pursues legal certainty in the investment sector itself and forgets the
principle of justice. Where the current government's goal is to continue to
encourage the entry of foreign investors into the country, this can be seen
from the incessant government actions, including the regulations and policies
of the Omnibus Law. Omnibus Law is known in Indonesia after the President of
the Republic of Indonesia delivered it in his state speech at his inauguration as
President before the MPR session on October 20, 2019. Omnibus law became the
focus of the president with the aim of solving the problem of overlapping
regulations and bureaucracy. It is hoped that with the omnibus law, it can
provide good services for the community and attract foreign investors to invest
in Indonesia.
Associated with legal certainty in foreign investment
activities, in this case the principle of legal certainty in question is the
principle of a rule of law that puts the law and provisions of basic laws and
regulations in every policy and action in the investment sector. Thus, Legal
Certainty is laying down laws and statutory provisions as the basis for every
policy and action in the investment sector. The formation of laws is part of the
activity in regulating society which consists of a combination of human
individuals with all their dimensions, so that designing and forming laws that
can be accepted by the wider community is a difficult task. This difficulty
lies in the fact that the activity of forming laws is a form of communication
between the institutions that determine the legislative power holder and the
people in a country.
The various
difficulties in the formation of the
law seem to have long been
felt by the
Indonesian people as a developing
country. The difficulties
in the formation of this law
are now more felt by the
Indonesian people, who are currently facing various social problems based on multi-dimensional structural and cultural problems. In fact, the formation
of this law
now and in the future will
continue to increase in response to the demands
of the community
along with the increasing complexity of the
development and conditions of society.
Conclusion
The
ratification of the omnibus law of the Job Creation Law in Indonesia should
require a study that is supported by the theory that this draft law was not
made carelessly. However, in practice in the field until now there has been no
official academic text that can be accessed by the public. In fact, according to
Ann Seidman and colleagues, there are four problem-solving steps as a
methodology to show that the proposed bill is based on a premise based on
experience. The four steps are “identifying the difficulty, proposing and
warranting explanations, proposing a solution, and monitoring and evaluating
implementation.”
The
community's rejection of the ratification of the Job Creation Omnibus Law shows
that the law that is to be created through the establishment of the Job
Creation Omnibus Law is not sensitive to community developments and cannot
adapt to changing conditions, so this invites rejection from the community. Law
is a rule to regulate society, therefore the law must be able to follow the
rhythm of community development, even the law must be able to direct and
encourage the development of society in a more precise and controlled manner.
Because of the existence of order as one of the objectives of law, thus there
is interclassification and interaction between law
and the development of society. Law as one of the important aspects in society
which aims to realize the formation of a comfortable and just society, is
sometimes ignored by a few people. So that people think that the law has been
injured, even its functions have been manipulated by those who do have an
interest.
