<![CDATA[This study examines the implementation of legislative drafting principles in Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code and the juridical implications arising from inconsistencies in applying those principles. The research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches through literature study of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The findings indicate that the formation of the new Criminal Code has not fully reflected proper legislative drafting principles, particularly transparency, clarity of formulation, usefulness and effectiveness, and enforceability. Several provisions, including Articles 218 and 219 concerning insults against the President and Vice President and Article 597 regarding living law, are considered ambiguous and potentially threaten legal certainty and freedom of expression. In addition, the legislative process was viewed as lacking meaningful public participation. These inconsistencies result in juridical implications such as reduced legal legitimacy, potential judicial review, regulatory disharmony, and risks to human rights protection.]]>
