Abstract

The 1945 Constitution of Indonesia has been amended to stipulate the protection of human rights.

Amid confused social-political changes, the Constitutional Court has found ways to resolve and improve disorders through applying inconsistencies within its decisions. Indeed, the Constitutional Court employed debates on perspectives of terrorism, gross violation of human rights, and the existence of Communism shadowed by the New Order power as considerations to decide conflicting cases amongst recent socio-political situations. Hence, the aspect of retrospectivity in constitution-based human rights justified flexibly to adjust with the needs of country’s human rights protection
