THE IDEA OF INDEPENDENT JUDICIAL ETHICS COURTS IN INDONESIA
Keywords:
Court of Ethics, Judicial Ethics, Constitutional Ethics, Rule of EthicsAbstract
Global interest in ethical practices in the state is increasing, fuelled by the ineffectiveness of the law in maintaining public trust. Therefore, fostering and controlling ideal behaviour for judges is considered better through a system of ethics, with law as a last resort. This concept is reinforced by the idea of constitutional ethics, which is equivalent to constitutional law. This research is conducted to examine more deeply the supervision and enforcement of judges' code of ethics in Indonesia. The normative juridical research method with statutory and conceptual approaches is used in this research. The results of the analysis show that its development leads to the stage of functional ethics, namely the codification and positivisation of ethics with the support of its enforcement institutional infrastructure. The idea of judicial ethics court strongly supports the institutional strengthening of ethics to build judges' behaviour with integrity. The institutional construction of the ethics court must be in accordance with the principles of the judiciary in general and structurally the same as the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court. Nevertheless, it does not rule out the possibility that the establishment of an ethics court does not have challenges that must also be considered.
