Internship Briefing Session for Students

Around 378 students took part in the internship debriefing program held by PUSDIKLAT FH UII on Sunday, October 13, 2019. The number jumped sharply from the previous year which was only attended by around 100 students. The apprenticeship activities are a manifestation of the compulsory competence of legal skills carried out by FH UII.

The internship briefing was carried out in two sessions. According to the Head of the Ad Hoc Team of Internship, Eko Rial Nugroho, SH., MH., the internship implementation for this year is still the same as in previous years. “The stages are still the same, there is no change,” Eko added. The debriefing program is conducive. Students are divided into six different classes and get guidance on introductions about general things to technical matters.

Regarding the increasing number of apprenticeship students, according to Eko there were no significant problems. Eko admitted that there were indeed some technical obstacles, but they did not affect the general implementation of the internship. “There are technical problems. (But) Alhamdulillah, it can be handled well “, he stressed.

The internship program itself is divided into two types, namely regular internship and self-internship. Regular internship is an internship in which the destination location is determined and prepared by PUSDIKLAT FH UII, as the internship program implementer. Matters prepared include permits, apprenticeship agreements, until to all administrative matters. As for the self-internship students, they prepare and choose their own internship location.

Students will be placed in various locations. The locations of apprenticeship to be addressed include the notary/PPAT office, the attorney’s office, the lawyer’s office, the court, the local government law firm, the police, and the embassy. All the internship locations will be monitored by the internship committee.

Eko suspected that the cause of the increase in apprenticeship students was the result of the loss of the academic prerequisite system. “It is suspected to have jumped the most because there are no academic prerequisites. “The internship should be in the 2016 class, but 2017 has already taken”, said Eko. However, according to Eko that was not a problem.

According to the Deputy Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee of the Internship, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, SH., MH., L.LM., Ph.D., the most regular internship students chose the Prosecutor’s Office while for the most independent apprentices the notary office. “The most regular apprenticeship is at the prosecutor’s office and self-internship at the notary,” said Dodik Setiawan. “Maybe there are many whose parents are notaries, so they might as well,” joked Dodik Setiawan, who was agreed by some students, when he filled out the debriefing material in class.

The internship must be followed by students for a minimum of 96 working hours in each office location. At the end of the program, students are required to make reports and respond. “All who have followed the internship process from beginning to end will receive internship certificates,” added Dodik Setiawan.

Perppu KPK dan Silogisme Impeachment

Author: Dr. Idul Rishan, S.H., LL.M

Lecturer in Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Departement of Constitutional Law

Apakah benar, jika Presiden menetapkan Perppu KPK, maka ia berpotensi besar untuk di impeach atau diberhentikan dalam masa jabatannya. Langkah ini kerap dihubung-hubungkan bahwa jika Presiden mengeluarkan Perppu, sama halnya Presiden tak serius dan tak menghormati DPR sebagai pengusul dan pembahas revisi UU KPK.  Bahkan, sebagian politisi menilai jika tidak cermat,  Perppu KPK bisa menjadi “jebakan batman” bagi Jokowi. Alias pintu masuk untuk menggulingkan posisinya sebagai Presiden. Narasi itu telah  berseliwiran di ruang publik. Tatkala menjadi pembenar, bahwa Perppu tidak bisa dikeluarkan karena alasan itu. Tulisan singkat ini, mencoba mendudukan kembali stigma yang berkembang di masyarakat. Memahami kembali apa dan bagaimana Perppu, serta pengaruhnya dengan wacana impeachment.

Perppu

Lazimnya sistem presidensial, kuasa pembentukan Perppu selalu diserahkan kepada Presiden sebagai pemegang kuasa pemerintahan. Jika merujuk konvensi, Perppu dikenal sebagai jalur konstitusional untuk membentuk regulasi secara cepat. Disebut cepat dan sederhana, karena dalam proses pembentukannya, ia tidak perlu mengakomodasi ragam kepentingan partai yang ada di parlemen (Ann Seidman:2002). Tak heran jika Pasal 22 UUDN mengatur bahwa  “Dalam hal ihwal kegentingan yang memaksa, Presiden berhak menetapkan peraturan pemerintah sebagai pengganti undang-undang”. Soal ihwal kegentingan yang memaksa, MK telah memberikan kriteria normatif dalam Putusan Nomor 138/PUU-VII/2009. Melalui interpretasinya, MK menetapkan tiga syarat. Kebutuhan mendesak untuk menyelesaikan masalah secara cepat, kekosongan hukum akibat ketiadaan undang-undang, atau ada namun dianggap tidak memadai, dan keadaan tidak dapat diatasi  dengan prosedur biasa karena akan membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama. Tiga hal itu telah dilimitasi oleh MK. Namun perlu diingat, ketika putusan di jatuhkan, sembilan hakim konstitusi berada dalam satu paradigma yang sama. Bahwa kegentingan atau kebutuhan yang mendesak, tetap berada pada wilayah subjektivitas Presiden. Tak ada institusi lain yang bisa menilai situasi kegentingan memaksa, kecuali Presiden. Karena sifatnya yang subjektif, maka objektivikasinya, diserahkan pada parlemen. Selaras dengan intensi ayat (2) dan ayat (3) Pasal 22 UUDN. Perppu harus mendapatkan persetujuan DPR dalam persidangan berikutnya untuk menjadi undang-undang. Jika tidak, maka Perppu itu harus dicabut. Intensi pasal tersebut menempatkan DPR sebagai penyeimbang, sekaligus melaksanakan fungsi kontrol terhadap kebijakan presiden (checks and balances). Selain fungsi crosscheck yang bisa dilakukan oleh DPR, MK juga bisa melakukan fungsi korektif melalui kewenangan judicial review.  Kanal-kanal ini tersedia secara konstitusional, untuk menutup sifat abuse presiden dalam menetapkan peraturan. Kembali pada soal Perppu KPK. Mungkin dalam logika awam, “kegentingan yang memaksa” sebagaimana dimaksud dirasa telah cukup. Ada tiga kondisi saat ini yang bisa dijadikan alasan pertimbangan menetapkan Perppu. Pertama, akibat tekanan publik yang terjadi secara masif dan kontinyu, bahkan telah memakan korban jiwa. Kedua, revisi undang-undang KPK yang tidak sejalan dengan cita-cita pemberantasan korupsi. Ketiga, tidak lagi dapat ditangani dengan prosedur biasa, mengingat pembahasan undang-undang akan memakan waktu yang relatif lama. Tetapi sekali lagi, ini soal subjektivitas Jokowi. Jika ia berani mengambil opsi Perppu, rasanya tidak berlebihan bila publik akan menilai Jokowi sebagai presiden, yang memiliki komitmen kuat dalam agenda pemberantasan korupsi.

Impeachment

Kemudian soal ancaman impeachment. Ada satu hal yang perlu diingat dalam membedakan ciri sistem parlementer dan ciri sistem presidensial. Dalam sistem parlementer, perdana menteri dapat diberhentikan dalam masa jabatannya akibat kebijakan yang tidak populis. Artinya seorang perdana menteri sangat mungkin di impeach karena alasan politis. Berbeda halnya dengan sistem presidensial. Presiden hanya dapat diberhentikan dalam masa jabatannya karena alasan hukum (Alferd Stephen & Cindy Skach:1993). Sebagaimana telah diatur secara limitatif dalam Pasal 7A UUDN, baik itu perbuatan yang berupa pengkhianatan terhadap negara, korupsi, penyuapan, perbuatan tercela, atau tindak pidana berat lainnya. Selain soal alasan hukum, syarat formil impeachment juga diatur dengan prosedur yang super ketat. Bahkan situasinya akan terasa semakin sulit, bila melihat sistem multipartai ekstrim yang diadopsi selepas era transisi politik. Presiden terpilih akan membangun koalisi mayoritas untuk mendapatkan legitimasi politik yang kuat di parlemen (Djayadi Hanan:2014). Konsekuensi logisnya,  partai-partai pendukung cenderung akan memuluskan kebijakan-kebijakan pemerintah di hadapan parlemen. Termasuk menjaga dan melindungi presiden, dari ancaman pasal impeachment.  Membaca kondisi di atas, tentunya cukup sulit membenarkan bahwa Perppu KPK dapat bermuara pada wacana impeachment. Saat ini, kita hanya membutuhkan keyakinan Presiden untuk mendorong dikeluarkannya Perppu KPK. Para simpatisannya tidak perlu takut dengan wacana impeachment. Begitu juga para anggota DPR yang menilai opsi Perppu tidak begitu tepat untuk dikeluarkan. Saluran konstitusional telah tersedia untuk menilai keabsahan Perppu. Baik itu melalui jalur legislative review di DPR, maupun melalui jalur judicial review di MK.

These five students have passed various stages of internal and external tests. The stages of internal tests are held by FH UII in the form of file or document selection, which includes: TOEFL certificate, GPA Transcript, Passport, and also along with a Recommendation Letter from the lecturer. After passing through the administration phase, these students must take an interview in English. After that, these students must apply the online application on the IIUM website for external selection by the International Office of IIUM. Only after passing the long selection, in the middle of August, the five students were declared eligible to run the program at AIKOL IIUM.

This program is a credit transfer program. Later these students will still study at AIKOL IIUM for one semester. The courses taken there will be transferred to courses at FH UII. “This is a very beneficial program for students, where they can learn the system and concept of law in Malaysia which has a different base from Indonesia. So that later these students can compare concepts in Indonesia and Malaysia, “said Yuwan. These students take six courses at AIKOL IIUM where one subject is three credits. This is the maximum amount a student can take there.

This program is fully supported by all facets of the Faculty of Law UII. The support includes administration fees until departure. “Everything is supported by the Islamic University of Indonesia, from the cost of obtaining Visa, Visa accommodation costs, insurance, medical check-up, plane tickets, and housing, with the aim of all these students can carry the name UII fragrant in the international arena”, added Yuwan. (Ywn/FHUII).

Pegawai KPK

Author: Nurmalita Ayuningtyas Harahap, S.H., M.H.

Lecturer in Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Departement of Public Administration Law

 

REVISI Undang-Undang Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) telah disahkan DPR, Selasa (17/9) lalu. Sebelumnya, rancangan perubahan Undang-undang No 30 Tahun 2002 tersebut tidak sedikit menuai respons dari masyarakat, baik dalam bentuk kritik maupun dukungan Revisi dilakukan terhadap beberapa pasal-pasal di undang-undang tersebut, antara lain adalah menyangkut perubahan status Pegawai KPK Dimana Pegawai Tetap KPK dialihkan menjadi Pegawai Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN).

Jika merujuk pada Undang-undang No 5 Tahun 2014 tentang Aparatur Sipil Negara, maka ASN terdiri dari Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PNS) dan Pegawai Pemerintah dengan Perjanjian Kerja (PPPK). Pada draft rancangan perubahan Undang-undang No 30 Tahun 2002 tersebut nantinya diatur bahwa Pegawal Negeri yang dipekerjakan di KPK akan berstatus PNS. Sedangkan Pegawai tetap KPK yang bukan merupakan PNS akan dikategorikan sebagai PPPK

Jika telah beralih status, bagaimana independensi dari Pegawai KPK itu sendiri?

Ditinjau dari hukum kepegawalan, maka ASN merupakan Pegawai Negeri Pegawai Negeri mempunyai ciri khusus, yaitu Hubungan Dinas Publik (DHP) yaitu sifat monoloyalitas kepada Pemerintah. Dalam hubungan ini kemudian melekat hubungan subordinatie antara atasan bawahan (Ridwan dan Nurmalita: Hukum Kepegawaian: 2018) Jika ditilik dari ciri tersebut, otomatis Pegawai KPK yang menjàdi ASN tersebut akan tunduk dan patuh kepada pemerintah atau eksekutif atau yang dapat dikatakan mempunyai hubungan monoloyalitas dengan pemerintah.

Sedangkan di dalam UU No 5/2014 diatur apa yang dinamakan Manajemen ASN. Dalam pasal 52. dinyatakan bahwa Manajemen ASN terdiri dari Manajemen PNS dan Manajemen PPPK. Pada Pasal 55, manajemen PNS antara lain meliputi, pengadaan, mutasi, disiplin, pemberhentian. Begitu juga pada pasal 93, manajemen PPPK antara lain meliputi pengadaan, penilaian kinerja, disiplin dan pemutusan hubungan kerja. Jika nantinya Pegawai KPK berubah status menjadi ASN, maka manajemen sumber daya manusia, yang terdiri dari pengadaan hingga pemberhentian atau pemutusan hubungan kerja menjadi kewenangan dari pemerintah atau eksekutif. Tidak lagi bersifat independen dari lembaga KPK itu sendiri.

Persoalan kemudian, pertama jika berbicara tentang pengadaan, maka selama ini sebenarnya terdapat Peraturan Pemerintah No 63 Tahun 2005 tentang Sistem Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi. Di pasal 7 ayat (2) Peraturan Pemerintah menyatakan bahwa, Pegawai Negeri yang telah diangkat menjadi Pegawai Tetap pada Komisi diberhentikan dengan hormat sebagai Pegawai Negeri. Hal ini juga dapat dikatakan agar independensi pegawai KPK tersebut tetap terjaga. Namun dengan peralihan status sebagai Pegawai Negeri, yang kemudian proses penentuan formasi dan rekrutmen akan diambil alih sepenuhnya pemerintah atau eksekutif bukan lagi kewenangan KPK secara penuh.

Kemudian yang kedua, terkait dengan mutasi. Penentuan perpindahan pegawai ini baik tempat maupun jabatannya akan menjadi kewenangan pemerintah atau eksekutif. Hal ini justru akan rentan dengan berbagai macam yang mempengaruhi mutasi tersebut. Ketiga, terkait dengan disiplin dan pemberhentian atau pemutusan hubungan kerja. Pegawai KPK akan tunduk kepada aturan disiplin ASN disamping nantinya masih terdapat aturan tentang disiplin KPK yaitu, Peraturan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi No. 10 Tahun 2016 tentang disiplin pegawai dan penasihat KPK, yang nantinya mesti diharmonisasikan dengan aturan disiplin ASN yang saat ini berlaku.

Dengan begitu pengenaan hukuman disiplin jika Pegawai KPK melanggar disiplin dan pemberhentian menjadi kewenangan dari eksekutif atau pemerintah Hal ini pun juga menimbulkan pertanyaan terkait dengan independensi dan bebas dari berbagai macam kepentingan. Meskipun nantinya telah menjadi ASN, besar harapan masyarakat untuk pegawai KPK dapat menjunjung nilai-nilai independensi dan tidak adanya intervensi dari pemerintah jika hal tersebut kemudian dapat memberikan hambatan bagi penegakkan hukum nantinya.

Kini diharapkan pula, tugas tim transisi KPK untuk menganalisis poin-poin yang telah disahkan Termasuk perubahan status KPK yang nantinya pun perlu di harmonisasi dan disinkronisasi dengan Peraturan yang menyangkut ASN. Tentu agar independensi tetap ada.

General Lecture on Cyber Law by Assoc. Prof. Sonny Zulhuda

The Faculty of Law of the Islamic University of Indonesia (FH UII) held a general lecture entitled Cyberspace and the Legal Challenges: A Quest for Reform, on Monday (09/23/2019). The event was filled by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sonny Zulhuda, an expert on cyber space and cyber law from Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws International Islamic University Malaysia (AIKOLS IIUM). Sonny Zulhada conveyed his main ideas on the importance of reform in our paradigm towards cyber law and the existence of an education syllabus on cyber law.

This general lecture is a collaboration between Faculty of Law UII and AIKOLS IIUM. According to the Head of the Committee, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto S.H., M.H., L.LM., Ph.D., this event was a form Faculty of Law’s commitment to carry out regional and international cooperation according to the Asean University Networks Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) accreditation standards. The event was opened by the Head of Undergraduate Program of the Faculty of Law UII Study Program, Dr. Budi Agus Riswandi, S.H., M.Hum., Attended by dozens of participants.

Sonny Zulhada began his lecture by introducing the concept of cyber space to participants. According to him, technological development is impossible to block. Thus, the existence of cyber law is important to encourage development. At the end of 1990, cyber law had been drafted and even became law in European countries.

“The emergence of digital assets causes the basis for cyber law, causing the restructuring of the concept of digital assets,” said Sonny. According to him, although the law is always left behind, but it should not deny the reality of technological development. “This is important so that the law is not too far behind.”

Sonny showed a surprising thing in the middle of his lecture. He showed several pages that can be accessed to see the flow of cyber-attacks throughout the world in real time. One such page is Fireeye.com.According to him, the problem is not when and where a cyber-attack, but who is the culprit and how big is the impact. “That is the legal problem,” he said.

According to Sonny Zulhada, what is often forgotten is that at present, there is a development in the concept of assets that the community is not aware of. This development is the emergence of digital assets. This digital asset is one of them concerning a person’s personal data information. “The emergence of digital assets causes the basis for cyber law, causing the restructuring of the concept of digital assets,” he said.

The development of the industrial revolution 4.0 issue also became a driving force so that the concept of cyber law would soon be developed. According to him, do not rule out the possibility, in the future, artificial intelligence (AI) will replace human functions. This development has become an important legal issue to be examined immediately. Because, there have been several legal cases, such as unmanned cars developed by Ubercrashing into someone in the United States. “Can AI or the system be prosecuted in court?”, Asked Sonny Zulhada to participants.

According to Sonny, competition is the main cause of the development of cyber space and the reason for the importance of developing cyber law. In its development, technological progress must continue to bring positive values ​​to society. “Innovators must not be free of values,” he stressed.
