This article examines the implications and implementation of Law Number 24 of 2009 on the National Flag, Language, Emblem and Anthem in conjunction with related regulations such as the Letter of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Number: M. HH.UM.01.01-35 on the Clarification Request concerning the Implication and Implementation of Law Number 24 of 2009 over the existence of freedom of contract principle in Indonesia. Based on the result of study, the provisions of Law Number 24 of 2009 National Flag, Language, Emblem and Anthem and the Letter of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Number: M. HH.UM.01.01-35 are discorded with the principle of freedom of contract prescribed in Article 1338 paragraph (1) of the Burgerlijk Wetboek voor Indonesie (BW) book III. Such contradiction may raise a concern on the implementation of legal instruments, leading to legal uncertainty and impacting business investment in Indonesia.
