Legitimasi Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang dalam Ratifikasi Perjanjian Internasional Tertentu

Abstract

One of the challenges for the state is on how it carries out the ratification of international agreements. Indonesia has arduous tasks due to its late to ratify international conventions or agreements, even though such international instruments are needed for national interests. Based on Law Number 24 of 2000 on the International Agreement it is stipulated that the ratification of an international agreement in Indonesia uses two instruments, inter alia the law and presidential regulations. To adhere to this view, the compelling exigency is essential to analyze as it has been a challenge to overcome and anticipate obstacles in the ratification process and therefore it needs to set a period of time to ratify special international agreements. Ratification of international agreements through the Perppu (the government regulation in lieu of law) is very possible because its legitimacy is equivalent to the law but it should be the last priority.
