Abstract

This article discusses the development of the principle of dominus litis as a foundation for ethics and professionalism in prosecution at the Prosecutor's Office. The principle of dominus litis, which positions prosecutors as controllers of cases, plays an important role in Indonesia's criminal justice system. This research employs a normative legal approach by analyzing existing regulations and prosecutorial practices carried out by the Prosecutor's Office. The findings indicate that strengthening prosecutors' authority within the context of dominus litis not only enhances the effectiveness of law enforcement but also contributes to the formation of ethics and professionalism in prosecution. Thus, the principle of dominus litis becomes a crucial foundation for realizing justice that is oriented towards public interests and fulfilling human rights

Abstract

This article examines the legal politics embedded in the draft of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). The current KUHAP, enacted in 1981, is considered inadequate in addressing the challenges posed by technological advancements, changes in the constitutional system, and increasingly complex social and legal dynamics. The new KUHAP draft aims to provide clearer legal certainty, strengthen human rights protection, and align with international conventions ratified by Indonesia. Through literature review and document analysis, this study reveals that the KUHAP draft represents a manifestation of legal politics striving to balance effective law enforcement with human rights protection. The draft emphasizes the principles of legality and presumption of innocence, introduces stricter supervisory mechanisms, and offers special protection for vulnerable groups alongside recognition of electronic evidence. Despite significant progress, the draft faces challenges such as potential abuse of authority, inter-agency conflicts, and resource readiness. Recommendations include harmonizing authorities, strengthening supervision, enhancing human resource capacity, and encouraging public participation in evaluation and refinement. This article contributes significantly to understanding the legal politics shaping criminal procedure reform in Indonesia.
