THE ENFORCEMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA

Abstrak

The inclusion of Human Rights (HAM) in the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia entails a comprehensive examination of the safeguarding and acknowledgement of fundamental individual rights protected by the nation's constitution. This article seeks to examine the status of human rights within the framework of the Indonesian constitution. It will specifically explore the historical origins of the constitution, the goals of safeguarding human rights, and the integration of human rights principles into the Indonesian legal system. The qualitative study methodology uses literature analysis and statutory rules as the primary reference sources. An extensive and detailed analysis was conducted to provide a complete description of the status of human rights inside the Indonesian constitution. The research findings demonstrate the paramount significance of human rights within the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, as they are universally acknowledged and intrinsic to every individual. Nevertheless, the enforcement and safeguarding of human rights continue encountering numerous obstacles, such as inadequacies in the judicial system, limited public consciousness, and the persistence of discriminatory behaviors. Consequently, the government and society must exert more substantial endeavors to enhance the safeguarding of human rights and implement inclusive and equitable constitutional principles.
