The Quality Implementation of the Judicial Commission Organization as Justice Institution in Indonesia

Abstract

The Judicial Commission's position in the constitutional system of the Indonesian Republic is still having a position which is not clear substantially (laws and regulations).This position can be examined from the increase in number of violations of the ethics code committed by judges between 2014 and 2015. In the Supreme Court release, the number of violations in 2014 was 209 and in 2015 was 265. In addition, there are some disharmonies between laws and regulations in the judicial power, including Laws on Judicial Power, Laws on the Supreme Court, Laws on the Constitutional Court and Laws on Judicial Commissions (including the Law on Prosecutors and Laws of the Police) which becomes the supporting organ (Auxiliary State's Organ) of judicial power. They become the background of weaknesses in the enforcement of the judge's ethics code. Furthermore, the leadership character in the Supreme Court and Judicial Commission puts forward the ego that one feels superior to the other. That becomes the other side of the judicial commission's track record in carrying out enforcement of the code of ethics. It is very important to immediately reactivate the position of the Judicial Commission in enforcing efforts to maintain and uphold the honor, dignity, and behavior of judges through legal power as a justice institution of judge's ethics code. This effort certainly needs to be motivated by the synchronization of norms that apply to the enforcement of ethics code for one-stop judicial power under the judicial commission, ranging from the police, attorney, to judges both Supreme Court judges and Constitutional Court judges.
