Acknowledging the Constitutional Rights in Indonesian Special Autonomous Regions: The Case of Aceh and Yogyakarta
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the central government's policy towards Aceh and Yogyakarta in relation to constitutional rights. Aceh and Yogyakarta become special autonomous regions after decades of conflict and longtime aspirations from citizens. The Indonesian constitutions grant the rights for citizens to govern autonomously based on aspiration and indigenous law. This research will use legal comparative research based on the national law, customary law, and general principles of constitutional rights. This research shows that autonomous region in Indonesia is implemented based on the aspirations of the people and in accordance with national law. However, recognition of customary law is not entirely fulfilled by the central government. This article promotes central government to recognize local democracy system in Indonesia for gain trust and peace in the relationship between central and local government.
