Abstract. The right to health is an integral part of human rights guaranteed by the Constitution and further reinforced by Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health, which places the state as the party responsible for ensuring the provision of safe, high-quality, and non-discriminatory health services for all citizens. However, in practice, the fulfillment of the right to health continues to face various challenges, particularly in the delivery of health services for participants of BPJS Kesehatan. This study aims to analyze the legal protection of the right to health in Indonesia and to examine the refusal of medical services to BPJS patients that resulted in death in Papua from a human rights perspective. The research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings indicate that although the national legal framework has clearly regulated the obligations of the state and health care facilities in providing emergency services, its implementation remains weak due to administrative barriers, unequal access to health services, and inconsistent law enforcement. The refusal of medical services to BPJS patients in Papua reflects a tension between hospitals’ administrative compliance and the professional obligation of medical personnel to save human lives. The implications of this study emphasize the need to strengthen supervision, ensure consistent law enforcement, and improve health service governance so that the right to health is truly protected as part of human dignity within the Indonesian rule of law. 

The right to health is a fundamental human right that remains inherent to prisoners. This study aims to examine the legal protection of prisoners' right to health care as regulated in Law Number 22 of 2022 on Corrections, as well as its implementation in correctional institutions. The research uses a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings show that Law Number 22 of 2022 formally guarantees prisoners' access to health services, including mental health care and special protection for vulnerable groups such as women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Key provisions in Articles 10, 11, 12, and 14 establish the state's obligation to provide adequate health services equivalent to community standards. However, in practice, the realization of this right faces several obstacles including: (1) overcapacity of correctional facilities exceeding 180% of ideal capacity, (2) limited medical personnel with many institutions lacking permanent doctors, (3) inadequate health facilities and medicine supplies, (4) complicated referral procedures causing delays in emergency treatment, and (5) insufficient budget allocation. Strengthening technical regulations, improving infrastructure, enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration, and implementing effective oversight mechanisms are essential to ensure effective protection of prisoners' health rights as mandated by the constitution and international human rights standards.

This research aims to analyze the protection of human rights at a minimum in the implementation of emergency constitution The research used is a critical analysis with a qualitative approach that involves the analysis of legal documents and related literature. This research reveals the formation of emergency constitutional regulations that still pay attention to human rights, which must be carried out at a minimum. The type of research used in researching the problems in this study is normative juridical. This research is a normative juridical research because the researcher will analyze the laws and regulations related to the implementation of the emergency constitution from the perspective of human rights. Library materials and secondary data can be called normative legal research or library research by collecting legal materials both primary, secondary and/or tertiary. The government has a strategic role in determining the emergency conditions of a country. Traffic conditions caused by military, civilian attacks and disease outbreaks that cause the state to be unable to implement constitutional law normally, if not immediately will threaten the safety of the community and the country.  Therefore, it is necessary to have written regulations or laws that provide a framework of procedures, formalities and frameworks to manage emergencies. The results of the research are expected to provide a comprehensive overview of the central government's implementation guidelines in carrying out emergency state administration.

This research examines the dilemma between national security and human rights protection in the context of emergency constitutional law in Indonesia. Through a juridical-normative approach, this study analyzes the balance between state authority in dealing with emergencies and the obligation to protect citizens' human rights. The findings indicate that although the state can restrict human rights during emergencies, such restrictions must comply with the principles of necessity and proportionality and not violate non-derogable rights. Indonesia's experience implementing emergency constitutional law, such as in the cases of DOM Aceh and the COVID-19 pandemic response, demonstrates the importance of regulatory reform to create a more comprehensive legal framework in maintaining a balance between national security and human rights protection. This research recommends updating the State of Emergency Law to align with current developments and strengthen oversight mechanisms to prevent abuse of emergency powers.
