Ask Students To Guard The Establishment Of Laws, Chief Justice Of The Constitutional Court Reminds His Institution To Road End Law Enforcement

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Constitutional Court (MK) Suhartoyo advised students to oversee the formation of laws to protect the constitutional rights of Indonesian citizens (WNI).

"If possible, from the start students, stakeholders, community members, and can oversee the formation of ongoing laws," Suhartoyo said during the UIN Law Fair VII activity and the signing of the MOU was monitored from Jakarta, Friday, October 25, which was confiscated by Antara.

Suhartoyo reminded the Constitutional Court that it is an ultimum remedium or the final way in law enforcement.

The constitutional rights of Indonesian citizens should have been fought for from the beginning of the making of the law. The new Constitutional Court is an option when the implementation of laws or norms in the law cannot protect citizens' constitutional rights.

"Don't let the ultimum remedium be in front. The Constitutional Court should be behind, in the legal estuary, not upstream," said Suhartoyo.

Therefore, the Constitutional Court cooperates with Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta.

Suhartoyo said that universities are home to thinkers and scholars who can connect the tongue of the Constitutional Court to protect the constitutional rights of citizens.

"The role of universities that can be an extension of the Constitutional Court provides a constitutional understanding of the campus environment, then the environment of residents around students," he said.

Armed with knowledge about the protection of citizens' constitutional rights, Suhartoyo hopes that academics and students will actively oversee the formation of laws.

"Hopefully the cooperation that will be built will really achieve maximum efforts rather than the Constitutional Court in providing an understanding of the protection of the constitutional rights of citizens," Suhartoyo said.
