English translation:Decision of Minister of Home Affairs
Explanation:
'Decree' adalah 'an order made by a head of state or government which is not approved by a parliament' (Dictionary of Law, P.H. Collin). Berdasarkan definisi tersebut, 'decree' dalam konteks ini tidak bisa digunakan karena Menteri tidak bisa mengeluarkan 'decree'.

Tidak ada yang salah atau kagok atau kurang 'sophisticated' dalam menggunakan kata 'decision' dalam konteks ini. Justru, 'decision' adalah kata yang paling tepat karena memberikan makna yang benar.
