Abstract

This study aims to analyze the normative implementation of the principle of proportionality in the imposition of criminal penalties in Indonesia. The principle of proportionality is a fundamental concept in criminal law that requires the punishment imposed to be balanced and commensurate with the degree of fault and the impact of the criminal act committed. This research employs a normative juridical method with statute approach, conceptual approach, and legal doctrine approach. Data were collected through literature studies of relevant legislation, legal doctrines, and court decisions. The findings indicate that although the principle of proportionality has been regulated in various Indonesian laws and regulations, its application in criminal justice practice still faces several obstacles, such as judicial subjectivity and inconsistency in sentencing. Furthermore, cases have been found where the penalties imposed are disproportionate to the offender’s level of fault, potentially resulting in injustice. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening guidelines for applying the principle of proportionality within the criminal justice system, including training for law enforcement officers and the development of clearer and more measurable sentencing standards. It is expected that this research will contribute to the advancement of a more just and civilized criminal law system in Indonesia through the consistent and appropriate application of the principle of proportionality.

Abstract

Patients in terminal conditions are frequently subjected to futile medical interventions, namely treatments that no longer provide therapeutic benefits and merely prolong the biological process of life without improving its quality. This situation creates a dilemma between the family’s right to refuse such interventions and the physician’s professional obligations bound by ethical oaths and legal frameworks. In Indonesia, the regulation regarding the refusal of futile treatment by families of terminal patients remains ambiguous, leading to legal uncertainty and potential conflicts in healthcare practice. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal boundaries governing the authority of families of terminal patients to refuse futile medical treatment and to examine medical ethical principles as the basis for legitimizing such rights. This research adopts a normative legal method with a conceptual approach, focusing on the study of legislation, legal doctrines, academic literature, and professional codes of ethics. The findings reveal that the legal foundation for the family’s authority to refuse futile treatment can be traced through the principle of informed consent as stipulated in the Medical Practice Act and the rights of patients in the Health Act. However, the absence of explicit regulation creates a wide scope for interpretation, which may trigger disputes. From an ethical standpoint, the family’s right to refuse futile interventions gains legitimacy through the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. The originality of this research lies in its integration of normative legal analysis with medical ethics principles, emphasizing the urgency of establishing specific regulations to ensure legal certainty while safeguarding patient dignity

Abstract

Contemporary criminal law faces a significant paradigmatic challenge with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a non-human entity capable of autonomous action and producing legally relevant consequences. The traditional criminal law system—rooted in an anthropocentric paradigm that attributes mens rea and actus reus exclusively to human actors—has become inadequate in explaining liability within the context of autonomous and adaptive algorithmic decision-making. This study aims to analyze how the criminal law system responds to actions and decisions generated by AI that result in legal consequences, and to formulate a conceptual model of AI criminal liability that ensures legal certainty, justice, and accountability. The research employs a normative legal method with a conceptual approach. The findings reveal that the criminal law system encounters both a culpability gap and a liability gap due to the absence of a legal subject that can be held directly accountable for AI’s actions. A reconstruction of the criminal law paradigm is therefore necessary through the adoption of a hybrid criminal liability framework that integrates human, corporate, and AI accountability based on the degree of control and risk creation. This study recommends limited recognition of electronic personhood for certain AI entities, alongside the application of risk-based accountability and the precautionary principle as new normative foundations for establishing an adaptive, accountable, and just criminal law system in the digital era
