Abstract

This study falls under the category of normative legal research or doctrinal legal research. Primary legal resources, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials are all used library research techniques for gathering legal materials (library research). In contrast, the descriptive analysis approach is used for data processing. According to the conclusions of this study, various civil law system nations, like the Netherlands, Greece, and Portugal, use the principle of judicial forgiveness (rechterlijk pardon). However, long before these nations implemented the principle of forgiveness (rechterlijk pardon) in their criminal law, Islamic criminal law used principle of forgiveness first in jarimah qadzaf (accusing adultery), jarimah qishas-diyat, and jarimah Ta'zir. Compared to the principle of forgiveness (rechterlijk pardon) in the civil law system, the principle of forgiveness (rechterlijk pardon) in Islamic criminal law offers benefits. The formulation of the principle of judicial forgiveness (rechterlijk pardon) in Indonesian criminal law in the future is to prescribe the principle of judicial forgiveness in Islamic criminal law since it is seen to have advantages. Furthermore, incorporating the notion of judicial forgiveness (rechterlijk pardon) from Islamic criminal law into Indonesian criminal law is sociologically consistent with the legal knowledge of the Indonesian people, the majority of whom are Muslims.

Abstract

The imposition of sanctions on child offenders under 14 years old in cases of sexual violence against children presents a legal dilemma between protecting the child offender and upholding the rights of the victim. Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Justice System (Law on Juvenile Justice System) stipulates that children under 14 years old may only be subjected to measures, while Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (Law on Sexual Violence Crimes) emphasizes victim protection and recovery. This article examines the imbalance between these two regulations and analyzes the most appropriate sanctions based on the principle of the best interests of the victim. Using a normative juridical approach and case studies, it is found that while the Law on Juvenile Justice System aims to protect child offenders from the adverse effects of criminal sanctions, in cases of sexual violence against children, this approach risks neglecting victims’ rights. Therefore, a more flexible legal interpretation is needed to ensure that sanctions not only focus on the offender but also consider justice for the victim.
