Abstract

The establishment of the Criminal Procedure Code as a replacement for the HIR, raises hopes for a more humane criminal law enforcement, and can truly lead to the material truth of a criminal event. The Criminal Procedure Code has been running for more than 40 years, on the other hand the dynamics of human life continue to run so that it seems that the Criminal Procedure Code no longer answers the problems that arise today. In narcotics cases, situations are often found where the defendant is not charged with Article 127 of the Narcotics Law, but in the trial facts it is revealed that the defendant is purely a drug abuser. Meanwhile, Article 182 paragraph (4) of the Criminal Procedure Code requires the judge to impose a sentence according to the public prosecutor's indictment. To overcome this, a Circular Letter has been issued which allows judges to impose a sentence below the special minimum, and still decide according to the public prosecutor's indictment. However, in practice, namely the cassation decision Number 1832 K / Pid.Sus / 2023, it does not heed the provisions of Article 182 paragraph (4) of the Criminal Procedure Code, and the provisions of the Circular Letter, by imposing the defendant with Article 127 of the Narcotics Law, even though the article was not charged. This study aims to determine how the judge's considerations in imposing a sentence outside the indictment in the cassation decision Number 1832 K / Pid.Sus / 2023. This research is a normative legal research, the legal materials used in this study consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the basis for the judge's considerations is the existence of jurisprudence that allows the judge to decide outside the indictment as long as the article applied is similar to the article charged, and the threat of punishment is lighter. The act of deciding outside the indictment is part of the judge's efforts to explore legal values, truth, and the benefits of law in order to realize justice.

Abstract

Supreme Court Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 1 of 2024 concerning Guidelines for Adjudicating Criminal Cases Based on Restorative Justice provides guidelines for judges in implementing restorative justice in court. This regulation requires an active role for judges as peace facilitators, which raises questions regarding the independence of judges. This study aims to analyze how the independence of judges and the code of ethics of judges are integrated in the implementation of Perma No. 1 of 2024, especially in maintaining the independence of judges in the restorative justice process. This study uses a conceptual approach, a legislative approach and a case approach. The results of the study indicate that the independence of judges and the code of ethics of judges are important foundations in the implementation of Perma No. 1 of 2024. The independence of judges guarantees objectivity and justice in the peace process, while the code of ethics guides judges to act fairly, wisely and with integrity. Judges must always adhere to the principle of independence and ethical values, even though they are required to play an active role in the peace process. This study provides suggestions on the importance of socialization and training for judges regarding Perma No. 1 of 2024 and the code of ethics in the context of restorative justice, as well as strengthening internal and external supervision of judges in the implementation of restorative justice.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the urgency of electronic evidence authentication in the Indonesian criminal justice system and formulate future legal regulations that provide legal certainty regarding the validity of electronic evidence. The research method used is a juridical-normative with a statutory and conceptual approach, which is based on a literature review of national regulations and international legal instruments such as the Budapest Convention. The results of the study indicate that the absence of provisions for electronic evidence authentication in the Criminal Procedure Code creates legal uncertainty and opens up opportunities for digital evidence manipulation in court. The discussion emphasizes the importance of digital forensics as a technical authentication mechanism to ensure the integrity, authenticity, and reliability of electronic evidence. In addition, the conformity of electronic evidence with the principles of relevance and legality is still not fully regulated in the criminal procedural law system. The conclusion of this study is that electronic evidence authentication needs to be immediately regulated firmly in legislation as a form of adaptation to developments in information technology to realize justice and legal certainty in the digital era

Abstract

The Constitutional Court Decision Number 103/PUU-XXI/2023 marks a pivotal turning point in the protection of the rights of victims of terrorism, particularly those affected prior to the enactment of Law Number 5 of 2018, who have not yet received adequate legal protection. This paper analyzes the aspect of justice considered by the Constitutional Court judges in fulfilling the rights of past victims of terrorism as reflected in Decision Number 103/PUU-XXI/2023, as well as the conceptual framework for the realization of such rights within the Indonesian criminal justice system. The findings of this study reveal that the element of justice in the Court's reasoning is embodied in a substantive and humanistic approach, which reinforces the state's responsibility to fulfill the constitutional rights of victims of past terrorism acts as a manifestation of human rights protection and the principle of equality before the law. The ideal concept of fulfilling the rights of victims of past acts of terrorism emphasizes restorative justice through recognition, protection, and recovery, supported by a comprehensive legal framework and equitable, implementable policies.

Abstract

Hakim memainkan peranan penting dalam menegakkan hukum dan keadilan, termasuk ketika menjatuhkan pidana di bawah batas minimum khusus dalam perkara pencabulan terhadap anak. Meskipun langkah ini dimaksudkan untuk mewujudkan keadilan substantif, penerapannya dapat menimbulkan dilema hukum karena berisiko mengurangi kepastian hukum dan menyebabkan ketidakkonsistenan dalam putusan. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan kajian lebih mendalam untuk menemukan titik temu antara keadilan dan kepastian hukum dalam praktik peradilan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dasar pertimbangan hakim dalam menjatuhkan pidana di bawah batas minimum khusus dalam perkara pencabulan anak dari sudut pandang asas kepastian hukum. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga mengevaluasi dampak hukum dari praktik tersebut terhadap sistem peradilan pidana dan jaminan perlindungan hukum bagi korban. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah pendekatan yuridis normatif, dengan penelaahan terhadap regulasi dan studi kasus. Sumber data meliputi bahan hukum primer (peraturan perundang-undangan), bahan hukum sekunder (literatur akademik), serta bahan hukum tersier (kamus hukum). Analisis dilakukan melalui metode interpretasi ekstensif guna menilai penerapan asas kepastian hukum serta ruang kebebasan hakim dalam menjatuhkan putusan. Temuan penelitian mengungkap bahwa hakim mempertimbangkan faktor hukum maupun non-hukum dalam menjatuhkan pidana di bawah minimum khusus. Walaupun langkah ini bertujuan mengharmoniskan antara keadilan dan kepastian hukum, praktik tersebut tetap berpotensi menimbulkan disparitas putusan dan ketidakpastian hukum. Selain itu, penggunaan Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung (SEMA) sebagai acuan juga menimbulkan perdebatan terkait supremasi hukum dan konsistensi penerapan pidana minimum khusus.

Abstract

The authority of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) in addressing acts of terrorism, as mandated by the TNI Law through Non-War Military Operations (OMSP), as stated in Article 7 paragraph (2) letter (b) number 3 of Law Number 34 Year 2004 regarding the Indonesian National Armed Forces, is one of the main tasks of the TNI in OMSP, hence it is the mandate of the TNI's authority in addressing acts of terrorism. To date, there are no implementing regulations that govern this TNI authority, resulting in ambiguity and a legal vacuum that causes hesitation in every military operation carried out by the TNI to counteract acts of terrorism, significantly threatening state sovereignty, thus raises questions with the problems: 1. What is the urgency of the regulation of authority in countering terrorism that threatens the sovereignty of the Indonesian State by the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI); 2. What is the model of involvement of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) in countering acts of terrorism that threaten the sovereignty of the Indonesian State? Therefore, the author uses normative legal research, a statutory approach method, a concept analysis, and a comparison approach. With this research, the author tries to explain that the arrangement of TNI authority in addressing acts of terrorism that have threatened state sovereignty is essential and urgent to be immediately enacted as the legality of the military operation carried out considering the current threat of terrorism which is increasingly developing following the times. So that the involvement of the TNI in addressing acts of terrorism is no longer carried out as an auxiliary task to the Indonesian National Police (POLRI). The TNI, in addressing acts of terrorism threatening state sovereignty, has clear and firm boundaries by the place, time, and level of threat such that the TNI can directly conduct military operations to address these acts of terror.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Victim Impact Statement (VIS) and restitution in safeguarding the rights of child victims of sexual violence within Indonesia’s criminal justice system. The research highlights the importance of VIS in providing victims with a formal avenue to express the physical, emotional, social, and economic impacts of crimes committed against them. The study adopts a normative juridical approach, analyzing statutory regulations and case law to assess the implementation of Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 1 of 2022. Comparative analysis with legal frameworks from other countries, such as the United States and Australia, underscores the necessity of institutionalizing VIS in Indonesia to align with international best practices. Findings reveal that while PERMA No. 1 of 2022 provides a legal foundation for restitution, significant challenges remain in terms of legal structure, substance, and culture, limiting its effectiveness. The study proposes a standardized VIS model tailored for child sexual violence cases to ensure clarity, consistency, and fairness in judicial decisions. Strengthening the legal framework, providing specialized training, and raising public awareness are crucial steps toward integrating VIS into Indonesia’s justice system. This research contributes to the broader discourse on victim-centered justice, emphasizing the need for systemic reforms to enhance legal protections for child victims.
