<![CDATA[The enactment of Law No. 20 of 2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code marks a pivotal shift in Indonesia’s legal landscape from a fragmented inquisitorial model toward an integral investigation system. This research evaluates how this new procedural framework aligns with international fair trial standards, particularly in protecting the rights of the accused during investigation. Using a normative legal research method with statutory and comparative approaches, the study examines three core innovations: the strengthening of judicial oversight in coercive measures, the formalization of restorative justice, and the introduction of plea bargaining. The findings indicate that Law No. 20 of 2025 significantly enhances the due process of law by subjecting investigative authorities to stricter judicial oversight. However, the study identifies potential risks posed by investigators' discretionary power that may undermine the principle of non-self-incrimination. This research suggests that fostering the efficacy of the integral system requires a substantive transformation of legal culture and the optimization of digital oversight. As a consequence, implementing regulations must strictly define the boundaries of judicial intervention to ensure that procedural efficiency does not override human rights protections.]]>
