<![CDATA[In the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), there is no minimum sanction for a criminal offense. However, the KUHP provides a limitation in book one on general rules, which states that the shortest prison sentence is one day and a maximum of fifteen years. This will lead to legal uncertainty, if it turns out that aggravated criminal offenses must also refer to Article 12 of the Criminal Code to determine the minimum sanction.
