<![CDATA[In Indonesia, the criminal law system is the one that decides the appropriate punishment for crimes and other legal transgressions. The use of the death sentence is still permitted under Indonesia's Criminal Code (KUHP), as well as some extra-criminal provisions. A translation of the Wetboek van Strafrecht voor Nederlandsch-Indie, which has been in effect in the Dutch East Indies (now known as Indonesia) since 1918 under the administration of the Dutch colonial government, can be found within the articles of the Criminal Code that govern the use of the death penalty.
