<![CDATA[Fulfillment of customary obligations as additional punishment as regulated in Article 66 of the Criminal Code is a new step to align positive law with customary norms but also has the potential to give rise to new legal issues. This study aims to analyze the limitations of the application of customary obligations as additional punishment so that it remains in line with the concept of restorative justice and does not violate human rights. This study uses a normative juridical method with a legislative approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that the fulfillment of customary obligations can be an effective mechanism in supporting the objectives of punishment, as long as its implementation is strictly regulated to avoid discrimination, deviations, and human rights violations. Although it is included in the category of additional punishment, it is in line with the concept of restorative justice in the National Criminal Code. Punishment based on the fulfillment of customary obligations has also been proven to strengthen social relations between perpetrators, victims, and the community, thus contributing to realizing just recovery in accordance with the spirit of criminal law reform in Indonesia.]]>
