Abstract

Administrative Courts in developing countries carry out more demanding tasks than those in developed countries because they have to be able to keep the balance between protecting public and individual interests. This research raises the issue of how to realize social justice in resolving a dispute in Administrative Courts. This is a doctrinal research using legal, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The research result indicates that Administrative Courts, carry out the oversight function against the acts of government officials, have to realize the justice which becomes the essence of the administrative law’s goal, that is social justice. Social justice which is built on the basis of Pancasila, functions to maintain the balance between the individual interest and the society’s rights so that the balance and harmony between the government and the people will be created. Furthermore, the Administrative Courts have to be able to realize the social justice, not only normative or procedural justices.

Abstract

The current criminal code has been in force in Indonesia since 1918. Indonesia formulated criminal law reform in 1963 and in 2023, a law on the national criminal code was issued. The spirit of the Indonesian criminal code is reformative, progressive, and responsive to changes to the law. One of the strengths of criminal law is regulating criminal law from the perspective and achievement of justice to repair and restore the situation after the event and judicial process known as restorative justice. The desire to strengthen restorative justice programs takes a long time and is complicated. This research aims to analyze the development of the concept of social reintegration through the application of restorative justice in the criminal justice process. This research was conducted qualitatively using secondary data and doctrinal legal study methods. The results showed that changes in criminal law arrangements caused opinion differences since restorative programs are widely used as a substitute for traditional and retributive approaches. The application of restorative justice in national criminal law must be implemented. Social reintegration in the implementation of restorative justice as regulated in the Criminal Code can be successful through commitment and collaboration between the community, government and law enforcement officials
