Abstract

The stacks of cases in judicial institutions hinder achieving the principles of fast, simple, low-cost justice. Through the Drafting Team for the Criminal Procedure Code Draft, the intention is to try to adopt a system that commonly applies in the common law legal system, namely plea bargaining “jalur khusus”” which is shown in Article 199 of the RUU KUHAP. This research intends to examine the concept of plea of guilty used in special channels and to look for the relationship between giving a plea of guilty and the rights of the defendant. This research uses normative juridical research methods or library legal research using conceptual and analytical approaches. The technique for collecting legal materials used is the library research model. From this research it can be concluded that the plea of guilty given by the defendant to the indictment by the public prosecutor must be voluntary, in this case, the judge will assess the truth of the Plea of Guilty. It brings consequences that the trial process will faster for the defendant. However, ““jalur khusus”” do not specifically regulate what defendant right will release if he confesses to the charges, moreover there is a gap that need to be resolve. This has the potential for uncertainty for the defendant. Apart from that, there is no regulation regarding the right to file legal action which will have an impact on the defendant's right to obtain legal certainty regarding efficient time to achieve a speedy trial.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a state governed by the rule of law, is committed to protecting human rights through the Criminal Justice System. One of the main challenges is the handling of sexual violence crimes. To this end, Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) affirms the right to restitution for victims as part of their recovery. However, implementation in practice shows differences in judicial considerations and attitudes in determining restitution, despite its clear regulation in the law. This study aims to analyze the factors hindering the implementation of restitution for victims of sexual violence crimes, with a focus on cases carrying penalties exceeding four years. This research is expected to provide recommendations to enhance law enforcement compliance in fulfilling the obligation to provide restitution, thereby better protecting victims’ rights.

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.

Abstract

The Indonesian criminal justice system is undergoing a paradigm shift from a retributive to a restorative approach, solidified by the enactment of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2024 concerning Guidelines for Adjudicating Criminal Cases Based on Restorative Justice. This regulation aims to provide a standardized framework for judges. However, its practical implementation reveals a tension between formal legal certainty and the pursuit of substantive justice. This research conducts a normative legal analysis to evaluate the adequacy of the conditions and mechanisms within the Supreme Court Regulation as a guide for judges. The study employs statute, conceptual, and case approaches, analyzing primary and secondary legal materials. The findings indicate that the rigid requirements stipulated in the regulation, such as the limit on criminal threats, along with ambiguities in exclusionary clauses like recidivism, are insufficient and often hinder the achievement of substantive recovery. Furthermore, the absence of explicit procedural mechanisms for penal mediation forces judges to rely on discretionary activism. This journal argues for a reformulated regulation that is more flexible and principle-based, proposing the inclusion of a discretionary gateway for judges, harmonizing recidivism rules with the new National Criminal Code, and institutionalizing penal mediation procedures to ensure the restorative process is substantive and consistent.
