Disharmony, Legal Harmonization, Authority, TerrorismAbstract
Terrorism is an extraordinary crime aimed at threatening and even causing loss of life, whether based on ideological motives or other motives. In Indonesia, law enforcement related to terrorism is carried out by three institutions: the Indonesian National Army (TNI), the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT), and the Police, which creates the potential for disharmony in authority in counterterrorism efforts in Indonesia. This research is normative legal research with a conceptual and legislative approach. The research findings confirm that the legal implications arising from the disharmony of authority in counterterrorism efforts in Indonesia after the enactment of Law Number 3 of 2025 have resulted in overlapping authority between the Indonesian National Army (TNI), the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT), and the Police. This research recommends vertical harmonization efforts, including adjusting and implementing regulations to be consistent with Law Number 3 of 2025 and related regulations, as well as horizontal harmonization aimed at aligning roles and duties between institutions to prevent conflicts of authority. This harmonization effort must be based on the principles of accountability, transparency, and respect for human rights, with a clear division of authority where the BNPT serves as the national controller and preventer of terrorism, the Police enforce terrorism-related criminal laws, and the TNI handles terrorism threats potentially related to national defense.
