This study examines the Legal Implications of using Ministerial Instruction Instruments as the Legal Basis for the Implementation of Restrictions on Community Activities During the Covid-19 Pandemic. As is known that during this pandemic, the Government made many instruments in the form of Ministerial Instructions to respond to the transmission of Covid-19 in the form of the Implementation of Restrictions on Community Activities. In fact, these instruments are not laws and regulations so they are not binding in general, let alone limit human rights through restrictions on the right to activity and threaten criminal sanctions. The Covid-19 Pandemic Emergency was also responded to excessively by several Ministries by issuing rules at the respective Ministry level, both in the form of a Joint Decree (SKB) and a Decree. In fact, among these instruments overlapping authorities, for example, related to the distribution of social assistance (bansos). In this case, there are legal problems related to the implications of the use of the Ministerial Instruction Instrument as the legal basis for the Implementation of Restrictions on Community Activities During the Covid-19 Pandemic. The problem arises due to the legality and binding force of the Ministerial Instruction and the impact of the implementation of the Ministerial Instruction on the protection of Human Rights. Through the normative juridical analysis research method, this research will reconstruct the legal basis in accordance with the principles of the state of the law in the event of a pandemic emergency so as not to reduce human rights. The results of this study indicate that the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 6 of 2019 during the Covid-19 period in Indonesia has validity, binding power (bonding), and efficacy. On this basis, the implementation of the Minister of Home Affairs during the Covid-19 pandemic has binding legal implications and legal force.
