<![CDATA[Law enforcement in drug smuggling cases in Indonesia often faces serious challenges that have the potential to violate human rights (HR). These violations may occur at various stages of the legal process, including arrest, investigation, and sentencing, particularly against vulnerable suspects. In this context, legal political policies are a key element in ensuring that law enforcement aligns with HR principles. However, concerns remain regarding the extent to which these policies integrate HR protections while facing implementation challenges such as lack of oversight, limited awareness among law enforcement officers about HR values, and political and social pressures. This study aims to analyze the potential HR violations in handling drug smuggling cases, evaluate the existing legal political policies, and identify the obstacles and relevant solutions to enhance HR protection. This research employs a normative juridical method by analyzing legislation, policy documents, and case studies. The findings reveal that potential HR violations in drug smuggling cases often involve actions such as torture, arbitrary detention, and limited access to legal assistance. Indonesia's legal political policies indicate the existence of regulations incorporating HR principles, yet their implementation remains suboptimal due to weak oversight and gaps in law enforcement practices. Key obstacles include limited capacity of law enforcement officers, budget constraints, and social stigma against drug offenders. To address these issues, it is necessary to improve training for law enforcement officers, strengthen oversight mechanisms, and revise policies to ensure comprehensive integration of HR protections into the legal process.]]>
