Abstract

The reform of Indonesian criminal law signals a paradigm shift from a retributive model to a restorative approach grounded in fairness and humanity. This study seeks to explore how restorative justice may serve as a mechanism for resolving medical cases within the broader context of national criminal law reform. To address this question, the research relies on normative legal analysis, drawing on statutory provisions together with scholarship in criminal law, health law, and human rights. The analysis indicates that restorative justice provides a potentially fair and proportional response to medical cases, especially those involving medical personnel acting under situational pressures. Yet, the absence of detailed procedural guidelines and the overlap of authority between professional organizations and law enforcement agencies pose significant obstacles. The study concludes that stronger regulatory and institutional frameworks are required to ensure the effective and consistent application of restorative justice in the criminal justice system.

Abstract

Murder committed by children is a serious crime that causes shock in society and poses a challenge to the criminal justice system. In handling such cases, the state is not only obliged to enforce the law and provide justice for the victims, but also to guarantee the protection of the human rights of the child perpetrator, in accordance with the principles of human rights (HAM). This study aims to examine the concept of sentencing children who commit murder using a human rights-based approach. The method employed is normative research, involving an analysis of national legislation, specifically the National Criminal Code and the Child Criminal Justice System Law (UU SPPA), as well as international instruments such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The findings indicate that although murder is classified as a serious crime, the approach to sentencing children must uphold the principles of non-discrimination, the best interests of the child, and the right to rehabilitation.
