The Legal Implications of Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women on the Fulfillment of Women's Political Rights in Indonesia
This study aims to analyze the legal implications of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which was ratified by Indonesia through Law Number 7 of 1984, on the fulfillment and realization of women's political rights in Indonesia. Despite having a strong international and national legal framework, women's substantive representation in political institutions, particularly in parliament, still faces significant challenges in reaching the mandated 30% affirmative action quota. Utilizing a normative legal research method with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative study, this research examines the harmonization of CEDAW principles with domestic electoral regulations, such as the General Elections Law. The results indicate that while CEDAW has served as a powerful catalyst for implementing temporary special measures (affirmative action) in Indonesia's electoral system, its legal implications are still constrained by structural barriers, lack of strict sanctions for non-compliant political parties, and persistent patriarchal political cultures. The study concludes that to achieve substantive gender equality in politics, Indonesia needs to strengthen its legal enforcement mechanisms, optimize internal political party recruitment regulations, and synchronize state policies with international human rights standards to ensure equal political participation for women.
