Abstract

This paper critically examines the Sarpin case within the context of Indonesia's criminal justice system, focusing on the legal reformation of pretrial procedures and their impact on the protection of suspects' human rights. Indonesia's criminal justice system adheres to the principle of presumption of innocence, which underscores the importance of safeguarding individual rights throughout the legal process. The introduction of the pretrial institution under the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) has introduced significant shifts in judicial practices, particularly in evaluating coercive measures such as arrest, detention, and the termination of investigations. This research addresses three key questions: first, how pretrial procedures are regulated from the perspective of criminal law; second, how the reform of pretrial practices has been influenced by Judge Sarpin's landmark decision; and third, the broader implications of his ruling on the protection of human rights within the Indonesian criminal process. The paper utilizes a normative research method, analyzing relevant statutes and legal concepts through a statutory approach. In the Sarpin case, Judge Sarpin ruled that the investigation warrant used to initiate proceedings against Budi Gunawan was invalid, highlighting a critical legal interpretation of pretrial powers. This ruling not only questioned the procedural foundation of the case but also demonstrated the significant role of pretrial in defending the rights of suspects. Article 77 of KUHAP grants district courts the authority to examine the legality of coercive actions, providing a vital safeguard against potential abuses. The paper evaluates how Judge Sarpin's decision has reshaped legal practices in Indonesia, emphasizing its potential to reform both judicial attitudes and the protection of fundamental rights.

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of a fundamental and universal principle in criminal law: the principle of ultimum remedium. This principle advocates for the use of criminal sanctions as a last resort, to be employed only when all other avenues have been exhausted. The primary focus of this study is to examine how the principle of ultimum remedium is articulated within the criminal codes of various countries. The countries selected for this analysis—Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Kyrgyzstan—were chosen randomly. By scrutinizing these formulations, the study aims to delineate an ideal framework for the application of the ultimum remedium principle. This research utilizes a doctrinal methodology, and through this lens, the article finds that legislators in numerous countries frequently integrate the principle of ultimum remedium implicitly within provisions that address basic principles and limitations of the use of criminal law, basic principles and limitations of criminal law enforcement, basic principles and limitations of criminal sanctions, and basics of criminal accountability. Nonetheless, some countries have explicitly codified the principle of ultimum remedium within provisions titled "The Principle of Subsidiarity of Criminal Repression." These articulated principles serve as crucial guidelines for legislators and law enforcement authorities.
