Abstract

Humans are ipso facto consumers who are entitled to their rights that must be protected under contract and law. Consumers, as human beings, have human rights that must be protected, respected, fulfilled, and promoted by the state. There is a vital intersection between consumer rights and human rights. The right to a decent standard of living is a human right to food, clothing, and housing. Fulfillment of human rights can be pursued by adequate protection of consumer rights. The effectiveness of protecting consumer rights can be realized by rooting them in the constitution to allow them to become fundamental rights and empower public authorities in fulfilling, respecting, implementing, and enforcing them so that the goal of consumer protection is achieved in maintaining human dignity and status where this is a value of humanization, liberation, and transcendence from the perspective of prophetic law. The research is expected to offer a recommendation for the government and the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) amidst the urgency of constitutionalizing consumer rights in the Constitution to support the recognition of consumer rights as universal human rights.
