Abstract

Indonesia as a country that has problems in human trafficking, not only functions as a country of origin (source) and transit point for international human trafficking, but also as a country that receives victims. The increasing number of workers that is not accompanied by the availability of employment opportunities is a very complex problem to overcome. This research is a normative legal research, namely a legal study that positions law as a structured norm system. In Indonesian legal regulations, it has been regulated in Law No. 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Human Trafficking related to legal accountability for criminal acts of human trafficking. This law also regulates the rights of victims to receive medical and social rehabilitation, repatriation, and reintegration that must be provided by the state, especially for those who experience physical, psychological, and social suffering due to the crime of human trafficking. Restitution prioritizes the perpetrator's responsibility for the impacts caused by the crime. Therefore, the main target is to handle all losses experienced by the victim.
