THE 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LAW REFORM 2024, Malang, East Java Indonesia

Law is a set of rules made to foster regularity and guarantee safety and certainty for citizens. The existence of Law is intended  to maintain social order and control societal changes into something as expected. Both law and humanity are inextricable and they work in harmony. Therefore, the formulation and enforcement must take place simultaneously. This view is relevant to the idea of Prof. Satjipto Raharjo in his progressive legal theory,  believing that law is born for human beings, not the other way around. In other words, the law should keep moving to maintain the people’s welfare and to ensure that the certainty, justice, and utility of the law are guaranteed.
