Fundamentals of Omnibus Law in Legal Studies

Abstract

The Omnibus Law, being an intricate policy, necessitates a comprehensive examination of its multifaceted consequences from diverse legal perspectives. This comprehensive research uncovers both the positive and negative aspects of this law, exposing the potential benefits and dangers associated with it. The expedited and exclusive formation method has faced criticism about its lack of transparency and regulatory standards. Further examination of the legal foundation and conformity with the constitution is necessary to guarantee adherence and prevent infringements on human rights. To ensure the creation of a high-quality omnibus bill that adheres to legal principles, it is imperative to enhance openness, encourage public engagement, and engage experts. Sociologically, the effects on workers and entrepreneurs are diverse, encompassing the possibility of heightened investment and employment, as well as the possible drawbacks of reduced wages, the elimination of severance compensation, and more outsourcing. There is concern that social inequality may escalate as businesses might receive more advantages in comparison to workers. The omnibus law holds the capacity to allure investments, foster economic expansion, and enhance Indonesia's competitiveness by means of deregulation and improved business facilitation. Striking a balance between economic growth, worker protection, and environmental sustainability is crucial. Thorough examination and rigorous oversight of the enforcement of environmental legislation are important to maintain a harmonious equilibrium between economic progress and environmental conservation.
