After its establishment in 2012, the Indonesia Legal Roundtable (ILR) – a watchdog for legal reformation – finally published the 2012 Rule of Law Perception Index (Index) in Jakarta, Friday (31/5).
The index puts into consideration five main variables to indicate how well the rule of law is implemented in Indonesia. The study reveals that many Indonesian perceive the rule is being upheld poorly.
Based on a 1 to 10 scale, for upholding the rule of law Indonesia only scored 4.53, which is “not very encouraging” according to ILR’s executive director, Todung Mulya Lubis.
Although discouraging, Todung hoped that the Index will be conducted annually, and will continuously develop new indicators and methods, thus will resulting to a more comprehensive result.
The Index was made by surveying 1,220 Indonesian. The survey inquired the respondents view on the following five variables: upholding the rule of law by the government; judiciary independency; recognition and protection of human rights; access to courts; and regulations clearness and transparency.
Out of all the mentioned variables, the latter scored 1.38, the lowest amongst the other five variables. This reflects public’s perception of Indonesia’s rulemaking, which is viewed to not involve the public in the making process.
With the index on upholding the rule of law by the government scoring 4.53. Apparently Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, the vice chairman of the People’s Consultative Assembly was shocked. According to Lukman, the 4.53 score shows that Indonesia did not pass the criterion of a country that upholds the rule of law.
He explained that this is shocking because since the 1998 Reformation movement, there are a number of institutions and regulations that were established to strengthen the rule of law.
For example, in the judicial branch the Constitutional Court and the Judicial Commission was formed. Another example was the establishment of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
It should be noted, ILR’s study result was similar to the Indonesia Survey Circle (Lingkaran Survei Indonesia/ LSI) survey result on law enforcement performance.
LSI’s survey revealed that 56 percent of its respondents were not satisfied with Indonesia’s law enforcement. Only 29.8 percent were.
The study concludes that the respondents perceptions towards law enforcements is alarming.
