TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tried to find a common flateform between Pancasila and the Islamic Nomocracy in the formation of Indonesian democracy, which is a classic problem because the debate always triggers reactions and actions.
Abstract: The state of Pancasila law is a tool for people who have the power to regulate human relations in society and regulate the symptoms of power in society. As a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia does not make Islam its legal basis. The Islamic Nomocracy and its values are embedded in the state of Pancasila law, as well as manifestation of democracy itself. Through these hyphoteses, the writer tries to find a common flateform between Pancasila and the Islamic Nomocracy in the formation of Indonesian democracy. This classic problem requires special attention, because the debate always triggers reactions and actions. Islam as a religion with complex system of living is believed to be a powerful mechanism in dealing with various life problems encountered. The Shari’ah consists of a combination of pre-Islamic customs and habits with principles and laws originated from the Qur’an and authentic prophetic tradition. Islamic scholars try to form Islamic teachings as ethical and national policies. Even so, the principle of the Pancasila state was accepted as final, at least there were Islamic nomocracy values embedded in the Pancasila while at the same time they contributed to build Indonesia’s democracy as a modern country. The theological values in the Pancasila and islamic nomocracy should not be a mere formal rule, but should address the substance of democracy in Indonesia. The rule of law must be supported by a democratic system because there is a clear correlation between the rule of law which relies on the constitution, and the sovereignty of the people which is carried out through a democratic system. In a democratic system, people’s participation is the essence of this system. However, democracy without legal regulation will lose form and direction, while law without democracy will lose meaning.

Abstract: This study aims to discuss democracy education practice on electing members of the Village Consultative Body in the Regency of Bangkalan –Indonesia. Through this study, the authors intend to describe models by which used in electing members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) within the Regency of Bangkalan –Indonesia as well as to explore democracy values derived from the model chosen by related villages to be employed for society’s education on democracy. This study is carried out by way of qualitative research methodology –by observing the ongoing election process of members of the Village Consultative Body in the Regency of Bangkalan in 2019; the authors were on the spot during the event. Furthermore, the study reveals that the Government of Bangkalan Regency drafts regulations by exercising the Regent’s stipulation ,i.e., giving options to approximately 256 villages in Bangkalan in which, respective model or option is applicable in selecting the nominees to fill in the posts of members of Village Consultative Body in the Regency of Bangkalan The nomination procedure is held through a direct voting among village society or consensus by consultative assembly. Later, the result shows that the society who elect candidates for filling in the posts of BPD members agreed to use consensus as a model, and it is exercised in a specific consensus forum. Therefore, such model is considered suitable with the fourth of fundamental concept of Pancasila (five basic principles of establishing the state). The core issue regarding the fourth principle of Pancasila is the practice of democracy so that a consensus is also a reflection of democracy values and it can be used as a role model in educating people about democracy.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical-normative study was conducted to determine the problematic use of legal theory and its impact on the construction of the law itself, and the authors concluded that the problem of alienation and distortion between law and society is just like an iceberg phenomenon.
Abstract: This theoretical-normative study aims to determine the problematic use of legal theory and its impact on the construction of the law itself. This is very important because the construction of today's law has not created a social awareness of the law so that law enforcement becomes difficult. The discussion in this study raises several issues to be studied, such as; what is the dependencies pattern between law and social awareness? Then how to reconstruct them in the current of the Theory of Law? And the last is; what is the proper direction of legal creation? The results of this study conclude: First, the problem of alienation and distortion between law and society is just like an iceberg phenomenon because the main problem lies within the understanding theoritical of the law itself. Second, the relationship between law and social awareness is the dependence relationship, where the legal product must reflect social awareness so that the actualization of the law is accepted by society as its need. Third, discussing the correlation between law and society is not enough with normative thought (prescriptive), but also empirical (descriptive), so the theory of law plays a very important role to bring this multidisciplinary understanding back to normative thought that prescriptive. Fourth, the legal product which is not based on normative thought is very dangerous because it will be very liberal and far from social morality based on social values, thus there will be alienation and distortion between law and society, or in other words law does not reflect the social awareness.

Legal materials that thoroughly considered and studied in the context of this research were relevant international rules and facts embodied in international cus- toms, general principles of law, international treaties, conventions, declarations and decisions of interna- tional organisation, recommendations, guiding principles, plan of actions, executive committee decisions, reports, academic publications, proceedings and working papers. Legal materials obtained were classified systematically and interptreted and evaluated thouroughly. The formulation concerning the the relevant facts and international legal frameworks pertainingto the concept of sovereignty based upon interpretation and evaluation of the existing legal materials. Eventually, the concept of sovereignty in the contemporary international society could be revealed accordingly. The State sovereignty is relational and open concept; not an insular or narrow and closed concept. A visionary discourse is needed to reinvent the valid interpre- tation of sovereignty in the framework of interdependence among States in the present international sys- tem. Sovereignty shall be interpreted as responsibility of the national authority. In this context State as an agent and manifestation of people sovereignty has the primary responsibility to protect, respect and fulfill the citizen rights accordingly and accountable to the international society. Key Words: S o v e r e i g nty, International L aw, Responsibility. A b s t ra k Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melakukan kajian mendalam dan akurat tentang konsep kedaulatan negara dan penerapannya dalam kerangka hukum internasional kontemporer. Bahan kajian utama penelitian ini adalah keputusan dan fakta-fakta hukum internasional yang relevan, yang tertuang dalam hukum internasional kebiasaan, prinsip-prinsip umum hukum, perjanjian internasional, konvensi, deklarasi dan keputusan-keputusan organisasi internasional, rekomendasi organisasi internasional, prinsip-prinsip panduan, buku panduan, rencana aksi, keputusan komite eksekutif, laporan, publikasi ilmiah, proceedings seminar, dan kertas kerja. Setelah dilakukan klasifikasi dan sistematisasi bahan penelitian, berikutnya dilakukan interpretasi dan evaluasi. Berdasarkan interpretasi dan evaluasi tersebut, dilanjutkan dengan preskripsi untuk merumuskan kejelasan tentang konteks situasi faktual dan kerangka hukum internasional yang relevan. Pada akhirnya dapat diketahui konsep kedaulatan negara dalam masyarakat internasional terkini. Kedaulatan bersifat relasional dan terbuka; bukan suatu konsep yang “ insular ” atau sempit dan tertutup. Suatu wacana visioner diperlukan untuk merekonstruksi kedaulatan negara dalam kerangka interdependensi antar negara dalam sistem internasional terkini. Kedaulatan negara harus dimaknai sebagai tanggung jawab otoritas nasional. Dalam konteks ini negara sebagai agen dan manifestasi dari kedaulatan rakyat, bertanggungjawab untuk melindungi, menghormati dan memenuhi hak-hak warganya serta harus mempertanggungjawabkan mandatnya kepada masyarakat internasional. K ata Kunci: Kedaulatan Negara, Hukum Internasional, Tanggungjawab.
