Keywords:
Authority, Indonesia, Law, National Security, State Intelligence AgencyAbstract
The State Intelligence Agency (Badan Intelijen Negara/BIN) is a governmental institution with a strategic role in safeguarding the national security of the Republic of Indonesia through intelligence activities. This article aims to analyze BIN's authority within the framework of national security law based on applicable legislation, including Law No. 17 of 2011 on State Intelligence, Law No. 3 of 2002 on State Defense, and other supporting regulations. This study employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The analysis reveals that BIN’s authority covers the collection, processing, and analysis of strategic information, early detection of security threats, and coordination of national intelligence. However, challenges remain, including overlapping authority between agencies, limited external oversight, and potential human rights violations if the authority is not exercised in accordance with accountability principles. The article recommends strengthening regulations, enhancing operational transparency within reasonable limits, and optimizing inter-agency coordination to support the effectiveness of BIN's role in safeguarding national security.
