Abstract

This research examines the position and authority of the Indonesian Prosecutor's Office in implementing the Restorative Justice (RJ) mechanism as a legal breakthrough in the criminal justice system. The paradigm shift from retributive to restorative justice, implemented through the Indonesian Prosecutor's Regulation Number 15 of 2020, raises fundamental questions regarding its constitutional basis and philosophical legitimacy. This thesis analyzes this issue from two main perspectives: Constitutional Law (Hukum Tata Negara - HTN) and the concept of Maslahah in Fiqh Siyasah (Islamic Political Jurisprudence). From the perspective of Constitutional Law, the implementation of RJ by the Prosecutor's Office is a manifestation of the Prosecutor General's asas oportunitas (discretionary principle) as regulated by law. However, this discretion must operate within the constitutional framework and the principles of a rule of law state, ensuring that the termination of prosecution does not violate victims' rights and guarantees legal certainty. The HTN analysis focuses on the extent to which the Prosecutor's Regulation possesses binding legal force and how mechanisms of control and accountability are applied to prevent the abuse of authority. Meanwhile, from the Fiqh Siyasah perspective, the concept of Restorative Justice aligns with the principle of Maslahah (public interest/welfare). The RJ approach, which prioritizes the restoration of relationships, reconciliation, and the prevention of greater negative impacts (mafsadah) resulting from formal judicial processes, substantially fulfills the objectives of Sharia (maqashid sharia), namely the preservation of life (hifzh an-nafs) and property (hifzh al-mal). The implementation of RJ by the Prosecutor's Office, by prioritizing peaceful settlements for minor cases, is considered a siyasah syar'iyyah (Sharia-compliant policy) aimed at achieving public welfare. This research concludes that the position of the Prosecutor's Office in implementing Restorative Justice possesses dual legitimacy: juridical-constitutional as the execution of structured discretion, and philosophical-theological as an effort to realize Maslahah in law enforcement. The synchronization of these two reviews confirms that the Prosecutor's RJ policy is a progressive step towards substantive justice oriented towards social restoration. [Penelitian ini mengkaji kedudukan dan kewenangan Kejaksaan Republik Indonesia dalam menerapkan mekanisme Keadilan Restoratif (Restorative Justice/RJ) sebagai terobosan hukum dalam sistem peradilan pidana. Pergeseran paradigma dari keadilan retributif menuju restoratif, yang diimplementasikan melalui Peraturan Kejaksaan Republik Indonesia Nomor 15 Tahun 2020, menimbulkan pertanyaan mendasar mengenai landasan konstitusional dan legitimasi filosofisnya. Tesis ini menganalisis isu tersebut dari dua perspektif utama: Hukum Tata Negara (HTN) dan konsep Maslahah dalam Fiqh Siyasah. Dari tinjauan Hukum Tata Negara, penerapan RJ oleh Kejaksaan merupakan manifestasi dari asas oportunitas (diskresi) Jaksa Agung yang diatur dalam undang-undang. Namun, diskresi ini harus berada dalam koridor konstitusi dan prinsip negara hukum, memastikan bahwa penghentian penuntutan tidak melanggar hak-hak korban dan menjamin kepastian hukum. Analisis HTN berfokus pada sejauh mana Peraturan Kejaksaan tersebut memiliki kekuatan hukum yang mengikat dan bagaimana mekanisme kontrol dan akuntabilitas diterapkan untuk mencegah penyalahgunaan wewenang. Sementara itu, dari perspektif Fiqh Siyasah, konsep Keadilan Restoratif selaras dengan prinsip Maslahah (kemaslahatan umum). Pendekatan RJ yang mengutamakan pemulihan hubungan, rekonsiliasi, dan pencegahan dampak negatif (mafsadah) yang lebih besar akibat proses peradilan formal, secara substansial memenuhi tujuan syariat (maqashid syariah), yaitu memelihara jiwa (hifzh an-nafs) dan harta (hifzh al-mal). Penerapan RJ oleh Kejaksaan, dengan memprioritaskan penyelesaian damai untuk perkara ringan, dianggap sebagai kebijakan siyasah syar'iyyah yang bertujuan mencapai kemaslahatan publik. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kedudukan Kejaksaan dalam menerapkan Keadilan Restoratif memiliki legitimasi ganda: yuridis-konstitusional sebagai pelaksanaan diskresi yang terstruktur, dan filosofis-teologis sebagai upaya mewujudkan Maslahah dalam penegakan hukum. Sinkronisasi kedua tinjauan ini menegaskan bahwa kebijakan RJ Kejaksaan adalah langkah progresif menuju keadilan substantif yang berorientasi pada pemulihan sosial.]

Abstract

Corruption is recognized as a global phenomenon and classified as an extraordinary crime both nationally and internationally. Therefore, it requires equally extraordinary approaches to address it. This research focuses on the issue of justice in corruption cases, particularly for perpetrators who have returned misappropriated assets. Many suspects or defendants have returned such assets but still face criminal punishment, even though their involvement may have been limited to an accessory role rather than that of a principal actor. This situation highlights the need for a legal justice principle that provides adequate protection. In Islamic law, the imposition of compensation payments in corruption crimes is referred to as ‘Uqubah Taba’iyah, a form of ta'zir punishment involving property. This punishment must be proportional to the amount embezzled and paid to the authorized authorities. The payment of compensation is classified as an additional criminal sanction that may be imposed on perpetrators of corruption. This study aims to examine and understand the concept of punishment in corruption cases in the context of asset recovery, legal justice, and equitable legal systems, as well as how Islamic justice offers legal protection to those who return stolen assets in the formation of a fair legal system in Indonesia. To identify and analyze the issues, this research employs critical academic thinking, conceptual approaches, statutory analysis, case studies, and comparative legal methods. The findings reveal that in several rulings—particularly at the Corruption Court of the Palembang District Court—judges have imposed criminal sanctions on individuals who had already returned state losses. This is due to limitations in current regulations, which state that returning state losses does not exempt one from criminal liability. The imposition of compensation payments on corruption offenders is based on the financial or economic harm caused to the state, with the amount required to be paid being equivalent to the gains obtained from the corruption. Under Islamic criminal law, compensation payments are considered a form of additional punishment (‘Uqubah Taba’iyah) that follows the primary ruling without requiring a separate judgment. Such payments are categorized as ta’zir punishments in the form of property, and offenders are obligated to return any assets obtained through corruption once a legal ruling has been issued by a judge.

Abstract

The Mubahalah Oath and Corruption are interrelated issues that require a comprehensive and collaborative response from all sectors of society. The concept of the Mubahalah Oath serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of corruption and criminal acts. Eradicating corruption and promoting transparency and accountability are believed to create a more just and equal society for all. By dismantling the systems that perpetuate corruption, we can build a society based on integrity, justice, and respect for all individuals. This paper discusses a literature review on the Mubahalah Oath and corruption in the development of criminal law in Indonesia. The Extended Systematic Literature Review approach, namely a systematic search for references based on scientific research and expanded with public information, is used in searching for related references to be analyzed. The results show that the Mubahalah Oath can play an important role in eradicating corruption in Indonesia. Implementing the Mubahalah Oath, moral pressure for corruptors, and a tool to strengthen transparency and accountability in government and organizations. The implementation of the Mubahalah Oath can have a positive impact on eradicating corruption and creating better governance in Indonesia. Promoting a culture of honesty and accountability as a first step in eradicating corruption can pave the way for a brighter future for law enforcement in the future
