Omnibus Law sebagai Strategi Mengatasi Disharmonisasi Peraturan di Indonesia

Abstract

This article discusses the challenges in implementing the Omnibus Law (OL) both as a regulatory system and as a tool for harmonizing regulations within Indonesia’s legal positivist tradition and its complex, non-simple regulatory hierarchy, from the perspectives of legislative consolidation theory, regulatory coherence theory, and multilevel regulation theory. This study is based on the assumption that OL, within the framework of legal positivism (norm hierarchy system), faces problems in applying these three theories. The research employs normative juridical and comparative methods, analyzing national regulations and international research findings. The results indicate, first, that the positioning of OL, which does not yet include implementing regulations, conflicts with the principles of norm hierarchy; second, substantive harmonization requires OL to integrate elements of both legal positivism (civil law) and common law; third, it is suggested that OL be incorporated into Law No. 12/2011 using a reconstruction approach to the regulatory system, where legislative consolidation, regulatory coherence, and multilevel regulation serve as guidelines to strengthen legal harmonization.

Bahasa Abstract

Artikel ini akan membahas tantangan dalam penerapan OL sebagai sistem peraturan dan sebagai senjata pengharmonis peraturan dalam tradisi positivisme hukum Indonesia dan hierarki peraturan yang berkarakter rumit dan tidak sederhana berdasarkan perspektf teori consolidation legislation, teori coherency regulations dan multilevel regulations. Pemikiran ini dilandasi suatu asumsi bahwa OL dalam bingkai teori positivisme hukum (sistem hierarki norma) menghadapi problematik dalam mengaplikasikan ketiga teori tersebut. Penelitian menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dan komparatif dengan analisis regulasi nasional dan hasil riset internasional. Hasilnya menunjukkan, pertama, penempatan OL yang belum mencakup OL regulasi pelaksanaannya bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip hieraki norma; kedua, harmonisasi substantif membutuhkan OL dalam pembauran antara postivisme hukum (civil law) dan (common law); ketiga disarankan OL masuk dalam UU 12/2011 dengan pendekatan rekonstruksi terhadap sistem pembentukan peraturan dimana konsolidasi legislasi, koherensi regulasi dan multivel regulasi menjadi petunjuk dalam memperkuat harmonisasi hukum.
