Humanism is understood as a system of relations between humans. The conception of the four precepts in Pancasila places a very strategic human position. The highest value after the Divine Value of all social, economic, legal, political, defense, cultural and even scientific life orders is man himself. Humanism as the message of the precepts in Pancasila is nothing but to build a state life in which human relations are based on free cooperation and aim to create a good life together in an independent and sovereign country. This research was conducted to provide an objective picture of the actual state of the object being investigated. This study uses data collection techniques, including observation, interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Humanity is a natural concept that is inherent in every human individual, the evolution of human civilization has given birth to a derivative concept of the meaning and nature of humanity as a consequence of human relations which are influenced by complex facts that give rise to conflictual concepts and actualizations of humanity. In reality the concept of legalistic humanism has not been fully able to prevent war and conflict, at least the concept of legalistic humanism is the only norm that protects many countries, nations, communities and individuals from broader humanitarian problems.
