LEGAL POLITICS OF THE STATE OF TIMOR-LESTE CONCERNING CIVIL REGISTRATION SERVICES BY GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF A WELFARE LAW STATE

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the weaknesses of the Timor Leste state legal

political regulation regarding civil registration public services by the government bureaucracy in the

perspective of a welfare state in sociological juridical research. The results of the study show that

the weaknesses in the Political Law and Political Regulations of the Timor Leste State Concerning

Civil Registration Public Services by the Government Bureaucracy in the perspective of a welfare

law state are three main elements of a legal system which include Substance, Structure, and Culture.

Substantial (legal) factors have not been specifically regulated through laws, only governmentregulations. Structural factors (institutions) for civil registration have not implemented good legal principles, limited human resources are inadequate, both at the sub-district and district levels which have an impact on the process of providing KTP, family cards and birth certificates. The provision of services to the community by public service organizations can run well if it is supported by human resources who have the ability, intellectual insight, discipline and high skills. The capacity of existing employees in the Department of Population and Civil Registration still needs to be improved, judging from the ability in knowledge and mastery in the field of computers is still limited. Cultural Factors (Culture) services are not yet IT-based, prefer collective rather than independent.
