Abstract

Indonesian is based on the vision of Bhineka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) and the national principle, Pancasila was designed and is found throughout the history by all of the nation founding fathers. The vision has brought the diversity of people from various aspects into unity, one of which is the religious factor or belief that is embraced by each Indonesian citizen. The Indonesian government recognizes 6 (six) religions which are Islam, Catholicism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Kong Ho Chu. The freedom of religions and beliefs (KBB) experiences the ups and downs in the interactions of intra and inter religious communities. According to data from the Commission on Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia, there are several cases of complaints of rights violations of KBB in 2015, totaling 87 complaints. This number increased when compared to that of 2014 which only amounted to 74 complaints (an average of 6 complaints/month). In practice, the causing factor of the conflicts in freedom of religions and beliefs is the intolerance that put fellow believers and other believers in jeopardy. The purpose of this paper is to map and analyze the aspects of social order in the efforts to uphold the law to overcome conflicts of freedom of religions and beliefs in the cities of Central Java. The favorable aspect of social order is a form of tolerance that is safe and opens a dialogue of mutual respect as establishing a right, which later will give a positive impact to the state law enforcement that is more just in dealing with KBB. This research was carried out with the qualitative method through a socio legal research approach, especially the legal anthropology, which is empirical law to overcome the KBB conflicts that emerge in several places.
