Government Asserts That No Social Organization Is Above the Law
The Indonesian government has once again reminded all social organizations (ormas) to comply with the prevailing legal regulations in the country. This assertion was made following discussions regarding the importance of maintaining public order and adherence to existing regulations.
The primary basis for this appeal is Law Number 16 of 2017 concerning Social Organizations. In this law, the government has strictly regulated the rights, obligations, and prohibitions for every social organization operating in Indonesia.
One of the key points in the regulation is the principle of equality before the law. Authorities emphasized that no organization should feel immune or above the law. Any actions that violate the rules will be processed in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
Furthermore, this law aims to ensure that every social organization continues to conduct its activities in accordance with the values of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. This is essential for maintaining social stability and security within the community.
In conclusion, the government hopes that all social organization administrators can work together to create a conducive environment. Compliance with the law is not only an organizational obligation but also a concrete step toward supporting the development of an orderly and peaceful nation.
