Jakarta, LiterasiHukum.com– The Constitutional Court (MK) is scheduled to deliver a verdict on five formal judicial review cases of Law Number 3 of 2025 concerning the IndonesianNationalArmy (UU TNI) today, Wednesday (17/9/2025). This decision is the culmination of a series of trials testing the validity of the TNI Law formation process, with the main focus on the lack of meaningful public participation (meaningful participation). This lawsuit journey began with 10 applications submitted to the Constitutional Court. However, in its course, the Constitutional Court stated that five of them failed because the applicants, most of whom were students, were deemed not to have legal standing (legal standing) to question the Law. Now, the fate of the controversial TNI Law is in the hands of nine constitutional judges.At the hearing on June 5, 2025, the Constitutional Court emphasized that five applications were rejected because the applicants could not describe the specific and actual constitutional losses due to the formation of the TNI Law. According to the Constitutional Court, objections solely to the closed process are not sufficient to prove a causal relationship (causal verband) between the formation of the Law and the applicant's losses. Meanwhile, the five cases that passed to the evidentiary stage (Cases No. 81, 75, 69, 56, and 45/PUU-XXIII/2025) all argued that the legislative process of the TNI Law was formally flawed because it ignored the principle of meaningful public participation, as mandated by previous Constitutional Court decisions. The applicants, consisting of a coalition of civil society organizations such as YLBHI and Kontras, argued that the seemingly rushed and closed process had violated the constitutional rights of citizens.
