The Problem of the Jurisdiction of Government Officials in the Dispersal of Public Assembly : Through the lens of legal philosophy of John Austin and H. L. A. Hart

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine "The Problem of the Jurisdiction of Government Officials in the Dispersal of Public Assembly." The author will investigate the case of the liberated youth group, a political movement group that urges the government to take action because the youth liberation group disagrees with how the government operates. The political rally is an expression of freedom of expression, which is a fundamental human right under the provisions of the state's legal framework in which the conditions are set.

The liberated youth protesters were crack-downed in this case, which lacks clear boundaries. The lack of morality and the severity of the legal process were investigated by studying the concepts of John Austin and H. L. A. Hart, who both approach the law from different perspectives and practices.

As a result, the author is interested in studying a case study of the liberation youth rallies and their dissolution by government officials. In which society questioned whether the action of government officials was truly appropriate or not by using the concepts of John Austin and H. L. A. Hart as the foundation for the idea to analyze the suitability of dissolving the assembly from the case and the solution of the jurisdiction of government officials used to disperse the protests.
