Abstract

The Indonesian criminal justice system faces critical issues with the repeated designation of individuals as suspects, which compromises legal certainty and the protection of human rights. This study provides a critical analysis of the procedural and ethical consequences of repeated suspect designations within the framework of Indonesia's Criminal Procedure Code. This study employs a doctrinal legal research methodology, incorporating statute, case and conceptual approaches. The results show that pretrial judges assess the validity of suspect designations based on procedural and formal principles. Their authority is confined to reviewing formal aspects. These limitations underscore that pretrial proceedings focus solely on administrative and procedural compliance rather than the substantive merits of the case. This formalist perspective follows civil procedural principles, emphasizing procedural correctness over material truth. While pretrial judges can annul a suspect designation, investigators can re-designate the person as a suspect if new evidence is presented. Such a reform would ensure a more balanced relationship between judicial oversight and investigative authority, minimizing arbitrary practices and enhancing procedural fairness. However, the recurring practice of re-designating suspects raises a significant flaw in the system, undermining legal certainty and eroding public trust.

Abstract

This paper examines the ineffectiveness of the pretrial mechanism in Indonesia in guaranteeing the right of suspects to submit and request examination of exculpatory evidence during the investigation stage. Although the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) provides a legal basis for this right, no rules guarantee that investigators will conduct such examinations, as evidenced by several cases in which investigators ignored such requests. This study is normative legal research, employing a statutory, conceptual, and comparative approach. It compares the Brady Rule in the United States, which requires prosecutors to disclose evidence favorable to the defendant, and the Dutch model of the 'rechter-commissaris', which grants judges the authority to oversee investigative actions actively. The results of this study recommend expanding the authority of pretrial judges to order investigators to examine mitigating evidence based on requests from the suspect or their legal counsel. This reform is important to realize the principles of fair trial, favor defensionis, and equality of arms, as well as to strengthen constitutional protection of human rights and the values of Pancasila. Preliminary hearings, as conceptualized here, can address the injustices that remain unresolved despite decades since the enactment of the CPC in 1981.

Abstract

The Indigenous People Community (IPC) in Aceh engages in collaborative efforts with law enforcement agencies to mediate disputes via customary courts, as delineated in Aceh Qanun Number 9 of 2008 pertaining to the Advancement of Customary Life and Traditions. Nevertheless, the escalating preeminence of formal legal frameworks has elicited apprehensions regarding the efficacy of customary sanctions in the context of community-driven conflict resolution. The objective of this research endeavor is to scrutinize the function of the police within the sphere of customary dispute resolution and to investigate the implications of their involvement on the jurisdiction of customary law institutions at the village level. The methodological approach employed in this inquiry is descriptive, supplemented by an empirical methodology. Primary data were acquired through direct observation and interviews with pivotal stakeholders, while secondary data were procured from ancillary documentation. The findings indicate that despite the successful resolution of 18 cases at the village level, the influence of the police tends to eclipse the authority of customary courts. The effectiveness of customary sanctions diminishes when formal law is accorded precedence, particularly in instances such as livestock theft or minor violent offenses. The conclusions that can be inferred suggest that excessive police involvement undermines the robustness of customary law, thereby contravening Article 13 paragraph (3) of Aceh Qanun 9/2008, which stipulates a preference for resolution through customary means at the village level.

Abstract

The recognition of living law in the New Criminal Code (NCC) indicates a shift toward legal pluralism, but it also raises serious conceptual and practical issues. However, there is still a lack of research specifically examining the gap between the recognition of living law in the NCC and its application when confronted with the principle of legality. This study aims to examine the conflict between the principle of legality and the effort to positivize living law through regional regulations that risk eliminating its organic and contextual nature. This research uses a normative juridical method, drawing on statute, legal philosophy, and socio-legal conceptualization, through an analysis of the regulation of living law in the NCC and Eugen Ehrlich's thoughts on living law in society and the principle of legality. The research results show that the positivization model in the NCC actually transforms living law into rigid written norms, thereby reducing its dynamic character and turning it into little more than a symbol of legitimacy in court decisions. This research also found that this formalization reproduces the logic of colonial law, which places state law above the social realities of society. As a reconstruction, this research proposes integrating living law through judicial discretion and legal discovery mechanisms, rather than through rigid formal codification that restricts living law itself. In conclusion, living law can only function fairly if it is maintained as organic law by strengthening the role of judges and customary institutions within the criminal justice system and customary courts.

Abstract

The Protection from arbitrary detention is an essential component of a democratic judicial system and a core element of the right to a fair trial. However, in Indonesia, the previous and the newly passed Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) do not expressly require detained suspects to be presented before a judge during the pre-trial procedures. This circumstance raises questions about the effectiveness of judicial oversight over coercive methods and the realisation of procedural rights protected under human rights standards. The problem is of particular relevance, as the Indonesian pre-trial process serves a similar purpose to habeas corpus in many countries, which necessitates the detainee’s personal appearance before the court. This article employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Comparative analysis is conducted by examining habeas corpus regulations and judicial oversight mechanisms in England, the United States, India, the Philippines, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The analysis demonstrates that the absence of an obligation to present detained suspects before a judge weakens procedural fairness, limits the suspect’s opportunity to be heard directly, and reduces the effectiveness of judicial supervision over detention. To address these shortcomings, reform of the KUHAP should provide an explicit requirement for the presentation of detained suspects in pretrial hearings and strengthen the active supervisory role of judges as a safeguard against arbitrary deprivation of liberty
