Democratic Omnibus Law in Indonesia
Abstract
Omnibus law is a method of forming laws. The use of the omnibus law is often problematic from a democratic aspect. Omnibus law arrangements in Indonesia have been legalized through Law Number 13 of 2022, but it remains a problem regarding participation as a pillar of democracy. Therefore, the concept of comparison is needed for further refinement. This research is normative research with statutory, case study, and comparative approaches. The results of the study are: (1) the application of the omnibus law in Indonesia in the case of the Job Creation Law is undemocratic because it narrows the space for public participation, (2) changes to the Law concerning the Formation of Legislation, especially those relating to participation, representation of participation, and the provision of a two-way information system is a necessity for realizing a democratic omnibus law in Indonesia.
