Abstract

The renewal of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) through the Draft Law (RUU) KUHAP opens up space for in-depth philosophical reflection on the relationship between law, justice, and humanity. This article examines the challenges of harmonizing the principle of due process of law, which emphasizes respect for individual rights in every legal process, with the criminal justice system, which is oriented towards efficiency and the purpose of punishment. This harmony is not only a technical and normative matter, but also a matter of shared understanding of what is meant by justice in the context of a more humane and human rights-based criminal justice system. Using a philosophical legal perspective, this article explores the potential for conflict and convergence between the two principles, and seeks common ground within the framework of Pancasila legal values ​​and Islamic law that prioritize humanity, substantive justice, and a balance between individual rights and the public interest. The renewal of the RUU KUHAP, in this context, is not merely a structural change, but a journey towards a legal system that guarantees the depth of justice, which is not only seen from a procedural perspective, but also from the moral and social essence of the law itself.

Abstract

This study examines the role of sharia advocates in providing legal aid in Indonesia during the contemporary era, driven by the increasing public demand for legal settlements based on Islamic values. This phenomenon shows the existence of a collective awareness of the importance of a legal approach that is not only legal-formal, but also ethical and spiritual. However, the complexity of modern law and structural challenges, such as the absence of specific regulations on Sharia advocates and limited professional training, are serious obstacles to carrying out the role ideally. In the midst of efforts to realize substantive justice, Sharia advocates are often trapped in a conventional legal framework (customs) that is not fully compatible with the Sharia values they carry. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, combining a juridical-normative and sociological approach, through literature studies and interviews with relevant parties. The results of the study indicate that sharia advocates hold a strategic position in sharia-based dispute resolution, particularly amid the growing demand for legal settlements that reflect Islamic justice values. To carry out this role optimally, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of personnel (lawyers), increase professional competence, provide adequate institutional support, and integrate Sharia values with Human Rights (HAM) principles in legal aid practice. Therefore, constructive criticism of the existing system is crucial to encourage reforms in aspects of education, regulation, and sharia advocacy practices that are more relevant, inclusive, and responsive to the dynamics of the law in the contemporary era.
