Abstract

The Constitutional Court reviewed Law No. 24 of 2000 on International Treaties and issued Decision Number 13/PUU-XVI/2018. Petitioners argued that international treaty practices excluded the House of Representatives is the body that represents the people. Many international trade agreements potentially impact the populace broadly. The decision raises key research issues: (i) the implications for enhancing the House of Representatives’ role in treaty formation. These issues are analyzed utilizing a primary legislation approach in conjunction with a normative juridical strategy, supported by a literature review. Findings indicate no significant increase in the House of Representatives’ role post-decision, as the ruling merely interprets which treaties require ratification by law.
