Para-Para Adat is one of the peace justice institutions in resolving customary crimes of the Indigenous community at the Port Numbay-Jayapura City. This customary institution still exists. However, the existence of Para-Para Adat has not yet carried out its function as expected. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal regulations that exist in society, as regulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) of the National Criminal Code, along with its implementing regulations as regulated in Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number: 55 of 2025 concerning Procedures and Criteria for Determining Living Laws in Society, related to the revitalization of Para-Para Adat. The research method is a normative juridical, with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that, normatively, the regulation of Article 2 paragraph (1) of the National Criminal Code is a breakthrough in Indonesian criminal law policy, which accommodates the existence of living law in society while providing a place for Para-Para Adat in resolving customary criminal cases within the Port Numbay Indigenous community. However, issues arose after the enactment of Government Regulation No. 55 of 2025, concerning procedures for resolving customary crimes involving the Civil Service Police Unit.
