Abstract

This research discusses femicide, which is the most extreme form of gender-based violence, but the Indonesian legal framework, particularly the Criminal Code (KUHP) and the Law on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS), does not explicitly recognize gender-motivated murder of women. As a result, femicide cases continue to be prosecuted under general homicide provisions without acknowledging discriminatory motives, leading to inadequate legal protection and disproportional sentencing. This research aims to analyze the urgency of criminalizing femicide as a special offense and to formulate an ideal legal concept for its regulation within the Indonesian criminal justice system. Using a normative juridical method supported by statutory, comparative, and conceptual approaches, this study examines national legal norms, international human rights instruments, and comparative legislation from Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. The findings show that a specific femicide offense is essential to fill normative gaps, incorporate gender-based motives as an aggravating factor, and strengthen state obligations under Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Belém do Pará Convention, and other global standards. The study concludes that Indonesia requires a dedicated femicide law based on lex specialis principles, gender-sensitive investigation and adjudication mechanisms, and integrated victim-protection measures to ensure a more just, responsive, and gender-equitable criminal law system.

Abstract

The enactment of Law Number 20 of 2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code introduces an improvement to Indonesian criminal evidence law by explicitly recognizing the exclusionary rule in Article 235. Unlike the 1981 Criminal Procedure Code, which merely enumerated categories of evidence without questioning the legality of their acquisition, the new provision establishes procedural legality as a precondition for the admissibility of evidence. This study aims to analyze the regulation of the exclusionary rule under Article 235 and to examine its opportunities and challenges from the perspectives of human rights and the right to a fair trial. The issues discussed include the concepts of illegally obtained evidence and the exclusionary rule, a comparison between the 1981 Code and the new Code, and a review against international human rights instruments. This research employs a normative legal method, using statutory and comparative approaches and drawing on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) dan Convention Against Torture (CAT). The findings show that Article 235 strengthens human rights and fair trial guarantees, affirms the absolute exclusion of evidence obtained through torture, and restores equality of arms. Nevertheless, the provision has shortcomings, namely the absence of explicit regulation of the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, the good-faith exception, standing, and the burden of proof. The study recommends reinforcement through supreme court jurisprudence, implementing regulations, and the transformation of law enforcement working culture.

Abstract

This study examined the provisions on detention during the investigative process as a coercive measure under the Draft of Criminal Procedure Code (RKUHAP). These provisions are deemed not fully aligned with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and its official interpretation in General Comment No. 35. The research employs a normative juridical methodology with a comparative approach, analyzing national legal norms against international standards. The findings reveal that the RKUHAP's detention provisions do not fully adhere to international human rights principles, particularly the state's obligation to prevent prolonged detention without independent judicial oversight. The principle of "promptly," as established in the ICCPR, underscores the importance of due process and acts as a safeguard against arbitrary detention. International standards require that suspects be presented before a judge within 48 hours of arrest, allowing for an assessment of the urgency and legality of the detention. General Comment No. 35 further explicates these technical provisions, highlighting the significance of judicial oversight in safeguarding individual liberty. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis substansi ketentuan penahanan pada proses penyidikan sebagai salah satu bentuk upaya paksa yang diatur dalam Rancangan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana (RKUHAP). Ketentuan tersebut dinilai belum sepenuhnya selaras dengan International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) serta penafsiran resminya dalam General Comment No. 35. Metode penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan komparatif, melalui analisis perbandingan antara norma hukum nasional dan standar HAM internasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengaturan penahanan dalam RKUHAP belum sepenuhnya memenuhi prinsip hak asasi manusia internasional, khususnya terkait kewajiban negara untuk memastikan tidak adanya penahanan berkepanjangan tanpa pengawasan yudisial yang independen. Prinsip “segera” (promptly) dalam ICCPR merupakan jaminan atas tegaknya asas due process of law serta bentuk pencegahan terhadap penahanan sewenang-wenang. Standar internasional mewajibkan agar tersangka dihadapkan kepada hakim dalam jangka waktu maksimal 48 jam setelah penangkapan, dengan kehadiran fisik untuk menilai urgensi dan keabsahan penahanan apakah perlu dilakukan atau tidak. Ketentuan teknisnya dijelaskan dalam General Comment No. 35, yang menegaskan pentingnya kontrol yudisial sebagai perlindungan terhadap hak kebebasan individu.

Abstract

This study compares the protection of press freedom in Indonesia and Norway from a legal perspective. This study aims to identify how the mechanism for protecting press freedom in Norway serves as a best practice and assess its relevance in the context of implementing the system and strengthening press freedom protection in Indonesia. The method used in this study is normative juridical with a comparative approach to laws and regulations. This study employs a literature-based data collection method, analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that Norway has strong protections for press freedom through constitutional guarantees, transparent information disclosure, and state-protected press mechanisms. On the contrary, Indonesia already has an adequate legal basis, but its implementation still faces the problem of the criminalization of journalists. This study provides an overview of how Norway, with stronger legal mechanisms to protect their press freedom, can serve as a reference for Indonesia.

Abstract

Masa pemerintahan pada Perdana Menteri Prayuth Chan-ocha dirasa banyak pihak membuat kekuatan militer mendominasi Thailand. Publik merasa kebebasan sipil semakin tergerus dengan adanya ketentuan Lese Majeste yang mengatur mengenai tindak pidana untuk melindungi raja, ratu, pewaris dan orang yang diberikan kekuasaan terkait berpotensi disalahgunakan dan dapat mengkriminalisasi suara kritis. Ketidakjelasan batasan mengenai pencemaran nama baik dan penghinaan yang ditujukan kepada pihak kerajaan dan penguasa dianggap kerap kali disalahgunakan. Selain itu juga situasi tergerusnya ruang sipil juga terlihat dengan pembubaran partai politik Future Forward Party sebagai partai oposisi yang banyak dicurigai terjadi kesewenang – wenangan dalam prosesnya. Situasi tersebut memunculkan gerakan resistensi dari kelompok pro demokrasi yang banyak datang dari kalangan muda. Gerakan resistensi tersebut merupakan hak asasi manusia (HAM) yang dijamin dalam berbagai instrumen HAM internasional serta konstitusi hingga ketentuan hukum nasional Thailand. Oleh karena itu negara harus mengupayakan hal terbaik untuk memastikan dijaminnya HAM dan harus menegakan hukum bagi para pelaku walaupun datang dari pemerintahan berkuasa.

Abstract

The criminal act of attack on honor under Article 27A of Law No.  1 of 2024, following Constitutional Court Decision Number 105/PUU-XXII/2024, reflects Indonesia’s ongoing effort to balance the protection of individual dignity with the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression. This study aims to analyze the human rights implications of the Constitutional Court’s ruling, which clarifies the interpretation of the phrases “other person” and “a matter” in Article 27A. Employing a normative legal research method and a qualitative descriptive approach, the study examines statutory provisions and the Court’s reasoning through the principles of legality, necessity, and proportionality as articulated in international human rights standards. The findings indicate that the Court’s conditional interpretation—restricting “other person” to natural persons and defining “a matter” as “an act that demeans the honor or reputation of an individual”—constitutes a significant normative improvement toward legal certainty. However, law enforcement practice continues to reveal the potential for this article to be misused to silence criticism of public officials, generating a persistent tension between normative ideals and implementation realities. This research’s novelty lies in providing the first human rights–based analysis of Article 27A following the Constitutional Court’s ruling, offering a new framework for evaluating the proportionality of criminal restrictions on freedom of expression in Indonesia’s digital democratic era.

Abstract

The use of shell companies by limited liability companies as a means of tax avoidance demonstrates a legal abuse that impacts the dilemma of legal compliance and business ethics. This action raises questions regarding the implementation of good corporate governance, which should be the basic ethics of every company. This study used a normative juridical method through a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. This study utilizes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials and then examines them descriptively. The results of the study indicate that the use of shell companies for tax avoidance purposes is contrary to the principles of good corporate governance. This scheme in practice can be subject to tax and criminal sanctions in its accountability.

Abstract

This research analyzes the effectiveness of litigation legal aid funding in Indonesia in ensuring equal access to justice, particularly for the poor and vulnerable. Findings show that real needs on the ground exceed the legal aid funding provided by the state. The gap between funding and actual legal aid costs may affect the quality of assistance delivered. In line with international human rights standards, this study emphasizes the urgency of reforming the funding scheme to be more adaptive and needs-based, ensuring that legal aid is delivered effectively, professionally, and equitably.

Abstract

This publication emphasizes the critical importance of the right to a fair trial within the criminal justice system, highlighting its role in protecting human rights and ensuring justice. Referencing international treaties like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the article illustrates that fair trials are a fundamental entitlement, requiring independent and impartial hearings. The principle serves as a safeguard against state abuses, such as arbitrary detention and torture, and encompasses essential guarantees like the presumption of innocence, the right to legal defense, and public hearings. These components are vital for preventing miscarriages of justice and maintaining transparency and accountability in the judicial process. Engaging with theories of justice, the article discusses John Rawls’ concept of fairness, which advocates for equitable treatment in the legal system. Amartya Sen emphasizes addressing real injustices, while Ronald Dworkin argues that individual rights, including the right to a fair trial, should not be compromised for the majority. Thus, the fair trial principle is foundational to the legitimacy of any criminal justice system.
