The connectivity court mechanism integrates General Courts and Military Courts when an offense is jointly committed by persons subject to different jurisdictions. This study critically evaluates connectivity proceedings in general offenses, focusing on dual jurisdiction, coordination, forum determination, and implications for legal certainty and justice. The study employs doctrinal legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches to examine legislation, legal doctrines, and previous studies. Materials are analyzed qualitatively through grammatical, systematic, historical, and teleological interpretation, supported by vertical and horizontal harmonization. The findings indicate that the 2025 Criminal Procedure Code strengthens coordination through joint investigation and prosecution, yet jurisdictional conflicts remain among the Indonesian National Police, Military Police, Public Prosecutors, Military Prosecutors, the Deputy Attorney General for Military Crimes, and PAPERA. Institutional structures and jurisdictional interests may impede integration. The study recommends stronger coordination, objective forum-selection criteria, and clearer limits on institutional discretion to establish connectivity proceedings as an integrated jurisdictional model safeguarding legal certainty, independence, accountability, and justice.
