Abstract

Whether the concept of substantive justice can be used as a justification for the faith community intervention in law enforcement of blasphemy cases in Indonesia after the collapse of the New Order regime is the focus analysis of this article. This legal issue has not yet been studied in various literatures. The discussion related to the proliferation of religious community intervention in the process of law enforcement in the perspective of justice is still rare. This article develops the unity concept of substantive and procedural justice. This article argues that the proliferation of faith community intervention in law enforcement undermines the independency of law as the basic notion of rule of law. The process of democracy after the ruin of the New Order regime in Indonesia needs a better understanding of the rule of law concept comprising of substantive and procedural justice. The emergence of social disorder and violence launched by faith community in blasphemy allegations demonstrates the negation of procedural justice i.e. legitimacy crisis.
