<![CDATA[Sexual violence against women and children constitutes a serious human rights violation that continues to rise in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the implementation of human rights principles in the evidentiary system for sexual violence cases under Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS), and to analyze victim recovery regulations through restitution and rehabilitation mechanisms along with their implementation challenges. This research employs a normative-juridical method with a prescriptive-analytical approach through library research on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The study finds that UU TPKS integrates human rights principles into the evidentiary system through Article 25(1), which recognizes victim testimony as valid evidence when accompanied by one additional piece of evidence and judicial conviction. This reform corrects a structurally biased evidentiary system and aligns with state obligations under CEDAW and the Maastricht Guidelines. UU TPKS also regulates victim recovery through Articles 30-33 and 67-75, yet implementation remains suboptimal due to weak legal structure and legal culture among law enforcement officers. The study concludes that issuing operational implementing regulations and targeted socialization of UU TPKS to law enforcement officers are two urgent steps that must be taken immediately.]]>
