Abstract

This paper explores the history and interpretation of Article 28J paragraph 2 UUD 1945. This paper argues that there is legal loophole in human rights regulation within the Constitution in regards with the non-existent of “limitation against limitation”. In worst scenario, the partial adoption of human rights principle in UUD 1945 could paved a way for the authoritarian turn under the banner of democracy. This paper analyzed the “limitation against limitation” clause in the history of Indonesia Constitutions, the intrepretation of Constitutional Court to the Article 28J paragraph 2 UUD 1945, and comparison of the authoritarian regimes related to legal loophole in Constitutions.
