Background
The new alternative dispute resolution mechanism is an attempt to resolve the disharmony between various legal norms through mediation mechanisms. This is a new way of harmonizing laws. The method is expected to be a fast and efficient alternative to litigation in courts (either in the Constitutional Court or in the Supreme Court).
Regulation (Permenkumham) Number 32 of 2017 concerning Procedures for Settlement of Disputes through Non-litigation is the basis of the legal mechanism. The regulation provides the framework for resolving disputes over legislative norms in a non-litigation manner in Indonesia.

Expert Meeting and Hearing
On the first day of the event, an expert meeting was held. It was attended by the staff of the directorate of legislation of The Ministry of Law and Human Rights and by academic experts. Two topics were discussed. One was the completion of a guidance book regarding the procedural norms for resolving the disputes. The experts also discussed a change of Permenkumham Number 32 of 2017 (concerning Procedures for the Settlement of Disputes through Non-litigation). The experts agreed that an improvement of the Permenkumham is necessary with regard to mediation.
On the second day a hearing took place in the ministry. The hearing proceeded smoothly. The panel concluded that the resolution of the dispute was not immediately possible due to procedural matters.
