<![CDATA[The application of a prosecution termination agreement in corruption cases is a response to the need for efficiency and expediency in modern criminal law enforcement. Instruments such as the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) and Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) are considered capable of accelerating the recovery of state losses, reducing the burden of cases in court, and encouraging cooperation between perpetrators in disclosing broader crimes. This research aims to analyze the position and application of prosecution termination agreements in the Indonesian criminal law system, as well as evaluate their impact on the principles of justice and the sustainability of the legal system. The research method used is normative juridical with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results show that although the expediency approach offers various practical advantages, its application in corruption cases raises serious concerns about substantive justice, legal accountability and legal certainty. The absence of clear normative arrangements opens the door to abuse of authority, legal discrimination, and weakening the legitimacy of the criminal justice system. Therefore, strict regulations and strong supervisory mechanisms are needed so that expediency is not used as an excuse to compromise the basic principles of a state of law with justice and integrity. This study concludes that the application of a cessation of prosecution agreement can only be justified if it is implemented within a legal framework that guarantees a balance between efficiency and justice.]]>
