Abstract

The dissolution of civil society organizations in Indonesia, particularly following the enactment of Law No. 16 of 2017, raises fundamental constitutional questions regarding the balance between state authority and individual rights. This study critically examines the legal dynamics surrounding the state's authority to dissolve CSOs without prior judicial review, highlighting a tension between administrative powers and constitutional guarantees of freedom of association and assembly. The research aims to analyze the legal basis, authority, and procedural mechanisms for dissolving CSOs from a constitutional law perspective; assess the constitutional implications of extrajudicial dissolution; conduct comparative analysis with democratic legal systems; and offer constructive legal reform recommendations. Employing a qualitative doctrinal approach through conceptual and comparative legal analysis, this study relies entirely on secondary data from statutes, academic literature, court rulings, and international human rights instruments. The findings reveal a disconcerting legal paradox wherein state efforts to safeguard ideological unity undermine democratic principles and rule of law. The absence of judicial oversight in the dissolution process contradicts core tenets of constitutional democracy and poses serious threats to civil liberties. Comparative insights from democratic nations demonstrate that procedural safeguards and judicial intervention are essential in preserving fundamental rights. This research contributes to constitutional legal theory and practice by offering a normative critique and proposing reforms to align national law with universal democratic standards. The study also invites future empirical research on the socio-political impacts of CSO dissolution.
