What is the implementation of the law?
The implementation of the law is one of the concepts that students learn in the subject of State and Law Theory. The implementation of the law is the actual legitimate, purposeful action of legal entities to realize the provisions of the law and bring them to life.
In the theory of state and law, the implementation of the law has 3 characteristics:
- The implementation of the law must be a specific action or actual conduct of a human.
- The implementation of the law must be a legitimate action of the entity.
- The implementation of the law must be the conduct of entities with legal act capacity, i.e., conduct of entities capable of, through their behavior, establishing and executing their legal rights and obligations.
Currently, there are 4 forms of law enforcement: Compliance with the law, Execution of the law, Use of the law, Application of the law. Specifically:
- Compliance with the law: the entity restrains from performing what the law prohibits. The compliance behavior is carried out in the form of non-action.
- Execution of the law: The entity, through its positive behavior, performs what the law requires. The execution behavior is carried out in the form of action.
- Use of the law: The entity executes the manner of conduct that the law permits. The use behavior is carried out in the form of action or non-action.
- Application of the law: This is the form of law implementation in which the state, through competent state agency officers or social organizations empowered by the state, organizes for entities to implement rights or obligations as prescribed by law, change, suspend, terminate legal relationships.
