Abstract

In Indonesian Islamic law, "falsum" has no direct equivalent. However, this idea matters in legal debates of beliefs, utterances, and behaviors. Falsum corrects final decisions in Germany and the Dutch during Revision. Indonesian prosecutors might request Revision, but the Constitutional Court limited this power to convicts and their descendants, extending unfairness. Revision should remedy bribery, document forgery, conflict of interest, and perjury by using the idea of falsum. However, falsum implementation in Indonesia raises problems about its compatibility with Islamic values. The study investigates how addressing falsum, in accordance with the principles of justice and utility, can lead to fairer legal reforms and bolster public confidence in the judiciary, especially within Indonesia's predominantly Muslim community. It examines the possibilities and drawbacks of legalizing falsum in Indonesia using normative, theoretical, and comparative approaches. It contends that the notion of falsum can provide a persuasive rationale for legal reforms in Indonesia's criminal court system. It also enables law enforcement officials and future drafters of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) to understand the evolution of Revision because granting prosecutors the authority to initiate Revision based on falsum is crucial for ensuring greater justice.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of public trust in implementing restorative justice by the prosecutor's office in Indonesia, particularly in a contemporary era that demands a more inclusive and responsive legal approach. Using a qualitative approach, this research combines insights from Islamic law and social studies to examine the factors influencing public trust in restorative justice and the prosecutor's role in resolving conflicts and promoting social harmony. The study gathers insights through in-depth interviews with legal academics, prosecutorial practitioners, and community representatives, aiming to understand their perceptions of the effectiveness and fairness of the restorative justice process. From the Islamic law perspective, the study highlights a normative framework rooted in values of justice, consultation (shura), and restoration (islah), which closely align with the core principles of restorative justice. Social studies provide additional depth by exploring the influence of individual experiences, legal awareness, and public perceptions of the prosecutor's office on trust dynamics. The findings indicate a gradual increase in public trust in restorative justice within Indonesia, reflecting growing acceptance of its potential as an alternative to conventional punitive measures. However, significant challenges persist, particularly regarding transparency and consistency in its implementation by the prosecutor's office. Studies on similar cases worldwide reveal that transparent processes and accountability are essential for maintaining public confidence, underscoring the importance of addressing these gaps in Indonesia. By positioning restorative justice as a culturally resonant and equitable alternative within Indonesia's legal framework, the study provides actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners striving to create a justice system that aligns with societal needs and ethical values.

Abstract

The concept of islah in Islamic law emphasizes peaceful conflict resolution through mediation, compromise, and forgiveness—principles that align closely with the restorative justice approach in modern legal systems. This article aims to explore the integration of islah values into the restorative justice framework, as well as how the concept of reconciliation in both positive law and Islamic law can be recontextualized in the contemporary era. This study employs a qualitative method using a normative-juridical and comparative approach based on a literature review of primary and secondary sources, including classical Islamic legal texts (turath), statutory regulations, and policy documents on restorative justice practices in Indonesia and selected Muslim-majority countries. The findings indicate that islah values hold significant potential to enrich restorative justice practices, particularly in strengthening participatory justice and the restoration of social relationships. The recontextualization of reconciliation not only opens space for dialogue between positive law and Islamic law but also offers a more humanistic, contextual, and community-responsive model of conflict resolution. The article recommends enhancing legal regulations to incorporate islah-based approaches within Indonesia's criminal justice system as part of a broader effort to harmonize national legal norms with Islamic values. Its academic contribution lies in providing a constructive foundation for the theoretical and normative integration of islah values into the national legal system through restorative justice while offering a new paradigm for resolving criminal cases in a more contextualized manner.
