<![CDATA[The regulation of narcotics crimes committed by minors is basically not specifically regulated in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, but the application of sanctions is always linked to Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System.

Based on this, the researcher formulates the problem, namely: 1). How the law regulates narcotics and the perpetrators of criminal acts of narcotics abuse by minors; 2). How are the rights of minors as suspects of narcotics abuse in the investigation process?; 3). How are efforts to fulfill the rights of minors as suspects of narcotics abuse in the future?

The fulfillment of children's rights involving drug abuse has been regulated in the Child Criminal Justice System Law and the Child Protection Law. Efforts to fulfill the rights of minors as suspects of drug abuse in the future are regulated by investigators regarding Restorative Justice and Diversion. Here it is necessary to have an understanding of PPA investigators of the rights of children in the judicial process including filling the legal vacuum and the fulfillment of institutional facilities regulated in UUSPA.]]>
