Optimizing the role of political party courts in resolving internal political party disputes

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide suggestions for new legal concepts, to optimize the role of the Political Party Court, using normative juridical law research methods and approaches to laws, cases, and comparative law approaches.

Furthermore, Article 33 of the UUPP can submit the settlement mechanism through a lawsuit to the District Court and the Supreme Court. The legal fact is that from several internal political party dispute cases, the settlement process is not only done through these two methods.
