Abstract

The Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Indonesia is not explicitly regulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, even though this institution carries out the primary function of state power in the field of law enforcement. This study aims to describe the regulation of the position of the Attorney General’s Office in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, explain the interpretation of the constitutional position of the Attorney General’s Office and offer a model for its regulation in the constitution. This study uses normative legal research. The results of the study indicate that considering the absence of the term Attorney General’s Office explicitly in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, its constitutional basis can only be found through a broad interpretation of a number of articles including Article 1 paragraph (3), Article 24 paragraph (1) and paragraph (3), Article 27 paragraph (1), Article 28D paragraph (1), Article 28I paragraph (1) and paragraph (5) and Article 30 paragraph (4). The model for regulating the Attorney General’s Office offered through this study is to create a new formulation by adding one separate article, namely Article 24D of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
