Abstract

The eradication of corruption in Indonesia continues to face structural challenges, particularly in the handling of petty corruption cases that involve relatively small state losses but consume disproportionate law enforcement resources. This study aims to analyze the urgency, feasibility, and regulatory implications of implementing a plea bargaining mechanism as an alternative resolution model for petty corruption cases within Indonesia’s criminal justice system. Using a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, this research examines relevant laws, including the Anti-Corruption Law, the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), and the Prosecutor’s Office Law, as well as comparative practices from the United States, Italy, and the Philippines. The findings indicate that the absence of explicit legal regulation has resulted in procedural rigidity, inefficiency, and suboptimal recovery of state losses in minor corruption cases. Plea bargaining, if strictly limited and transparently regulated, has the potential to enhance legal efficiency, prioritize restitution of state losses, reduce judicial and correctional burdens, and support a more restorative justice orientation. This study concludes that regulatory harmonization through limited revisions to the Corruption Law and KUHAP, complemented by clear prosecutorial guidelines issued by the Attorney General’s Office, is essential to ensure accountability, legal certainty, and public trust. Properly designed plea bargaining should be positioned not as a form of impunity, but as a strategic instrument to optimize corruption eradication while upholding substantive justice and the rule of law.

Abstract

Article 31 of the Republic of Indonesia's 1945 Constitution clearly guarantees the right to education. All citizens must get high-quality, just, and equal education from the state. In this regard, the National Education System Bill (RUU Sisdiknas) is being drafted as a calculated move to update the country's educational legislation, which has been regulated in various sectoral laws. This study aims to analyze the conformity of the formulation of the RUU Sisdiknas with the principle of citizens' constitutional rights to education, as well as to identify legal problems that arise in the process and substance of its formulation. With a statutory, conceptual, and comparative perspective, this study employs a normative juridical method. The analysis's findings show that while the RUU Sisdiknas makes an effort to incorporate different educational laws, there are a number of clauses that could jeopardize the right to education, especially when it comes to the removal of particular clauses pertaining to the teaching profession and basic education funding. In addition, the less participatory formulation process raises questions about the public legitimacy of the draft. Therefore, harmonization of norms is necessary to ensure that the National Education System Bill truly aligns with the constitutional mandate, human rights principles, and the state's goal of improving the nation's life.
