Abstract

This study examines the Bobango traditional sanctions practiced in Wayaua Village, South Halmahera, through the lens of restorative justice principles and the Islamic concept of Sulh. Bobango represents a customary conflict resolution mechanism involving deliberation between perpetrators' families, victims' families, and traditional leaders to achieve reconciliation through compensatory fines. Using conceptual and reflective approaches, this research analyzes how Bobango embodies the fundamental characteristics of restorative justice, particularly through its participatory dimension (involving all affected parties in inclusive decision-making) and its restorative dimension (focusing on repairing harm rather than punishing offenders). The findings reveal that Bobango functions as an authentic form of indigenous restorative justice that has been empirically tested for centuries within Indonesian society. Furthermore, from an Islamic legal perspective, Bobango demonstrates perfect harmonization with Sharia principles, operating as a majlis sulh (peace council) where fines serve as badal al-sulh (legitimate compensation) and potentially as ta'zir bi al-mal (financial sanctions for communal benefit). This study concludes that Bobango represents both indigenous and Islamic restorative justice, proving that legal pluralism in Indonesia can function harmoniously when customary law, Islamic law, and national law mutually reinforce each other in realizing substantive justice for a pluralistic society.

Abstract

Indonesian criminal law has undergone a fundamental paradigmatic transformation from retributive toward restorative justice, notably through the adoption of rechterlijk pardon into the National Criminal Code. Scholarly discourse addressing the integration of this concept into the Indonesian legal framework remains scarce. This study seeks to examine the constitutional and philosophical underpinnings of rechterlijk pardon in Indonesia and to construct a conceptual model for judicial pardon decisions that harmonizes justice and humanity. Employing a normative juridical methodology grounded in secondary data, this research utilizes statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings reveal that Article 54 paragraph (2) provisions on rechterlijk pardon are rooted in fundamental constitutional principles and align with the Pancasila philosophical values of divinity, humanity, nationalism, democracy, and justice. This study proposes a conceptual model establishing objective criteria comprising the triviality of the offense, the offender's personal circumstances, conditions surrounding and subsequent to the commission of the criminal act, and considerations of justice and humanity. This research advances Indonesian criminal law scholarship by offering a conceptual framework reconciling legal certainty with substantive justice and furnishing practical guidance for judicial application of Article 54 paragraph (2) of the National Criminal Code.
