Abstract

The criminal responsibility of offenders with mental or intellectual disabilities varies significantly across legal systems, influencing policies within the criminal justice framework. In some jurisdictions, provisions exist allowing for the consideration of disabilities as grounds for exoneration or mitigation of punishment. The reform of Indonesia's Criminal Code in 2023, particularly Articles 38 and 39, addresses the issue of criminal responsibility for individuals with mental or intellectual disabilities. However, challenges arise when the concept of diminished criminal liability is tied more to the defendant's mental or intellectual condition rather than their culpability in the criminal act itself. This study aims to examine and compare these legal regulations and policies with those of Norway. Using a juridical-normative method with legislative and comparative approaches, the research seeks to elucidate the differences in how Indonesia and Norway handle the criminal responsibility of offenders with disabilities. By doing so, this paper aims to clarify the regulatory frameworks governing the exoneration and reduction of criminal liability for individuals with disabilities in Indonesia, ensuring that law enforcement practices align with the rights and considerations afforded to such individuals

Abstract

The concept of rechterlijk pardon represents a new legal formulation introduced in Indonesia through Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, aimed at aligning criminal law with contemporary societal conditions. Beyond traditional deterrence, this concept empowers judges to consider mitigating circumstances and individual offender situations. Several European countries, including the Netherlands, have long regulated rechterlijk pardon, prompting a comparative analysis of its application between the Netherlands and Indonesia. This normative legal research compares the provisions of rechterlijk pardon in the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) with those in Dutch law. The findings reveal both similarities and differences: both systems require judges to justify their decision for granting pardon and offer alternative pardon requirements, yet Indonesia includes specific considerations of justice not detailed in Dutch law. The study underscores the importance of clarifying the criteria for rechterlijk pardon implementation in Indonesia to preempt potential conflicts. Ultimately, the research advocates for a clear and harmonized framework for judicial pardon in Indonesia, ensuring consistency and fairness in its application within the criminal justice system
