Abstract

Indonesia is well known amongst Southeast Asian countries for it multi- cultural identity in terms of ethnicity, religion, race and social stratification. Indonesia embodies its motto of Unity in Diversity, which refers to the culturally rich configuration of Indonesia, containing cultural capital and cultural power. However, cultural diversity also yields conflict due to inter-ethnic and inter- religious disputes that have the potential to generate social disintegration and even threaten the fragmentation of  Indonesia as a Nation  State.  In the eyes    of legal anthropologists, sources of conflict are often based on discriminatory policies expressed within the State’s law and legislation with regard to the recognition and protection of local communities across the country, namely ‘adat’ communities practising traditional, customary law, known as ‘adat’. Thus, State laws enacted and enforced by the Government tend to dominate and marginalise, even ignore the rights of  the local communities, particularly regarding access   to and control over natural resources, which is otherwise governed by the adat law of the region. This paper attempts to offer an answer to the fundamental question of whether the 1945 Constitution recognises and protects the traditional communities and their adat laws by employing a legal anthropological approach, with the purpose of obtaining a better understanding of development of State law in a multicultural Nation and looking towards a more just and equitable Indonesian State law.

Abstract

This article analyses the Indonesian efforts to resolve past human rights abuses under the mechanism of transitional justice following the downfall of President Soeharto on May 21, 1998. The focus of analysis is the implementation of transitional justice in the cases of Aceh, Papua, and East Timor during the transitional period. This article shows that the efforts to enforce transitional justice in these cases have been faced with obstacles. Although there have been notable efforts in terms of both judicial and non-judicial to enforce transitional justice, the final results are not satisfactory. Transitional justice mechanism to resolve past human rights abuses was implemented only with half-baked and supported with half-hearted. As a result, it has failed to bring justice for the victims. There are lessons can and should be learned from these transitional justice cases for resolving other past human rights abuse cases in Indonesia today. The current Indonesian government should pay attention to the lessons in order to resolve past human rights violations in accordance with its promise during presidential election campaign in 2014. Otherwise, it is likely to repeat the same mistake and failure of justice dealing with past human rights violations.

Abstract

According to Moeljatno, Criminal Law is a part of a country’s legal system that prohibits certain acts with the threat of sanction for those who break said laws, determines when and in what cases such punishments should be imposed upon those who commit said acts and determines precisely how punishments should be carried out in the event that a person is accused of such acts. This paper will analyse Constitutional Court Decision No. 77/PUU-XII/2014 and Decision No. 21/PUU-XII/2014 regarding Criminal Law reform. Looking to the theory of procedural criminal law, an indictment of cumulative charges of money laundering requires that the underlying predicate offences be proven. If, for example, the predicate offence is corruption, the corruption must be proven as multiple crimes have been committed by the same suspect, namely corruption leading to money laundering. the Decision of  the Pretrial Judge of  the Court    of South Jakarta, Sarpin Rizaldi, and Constitution Court Decision No. 21/PUU- XII/2014 on the review of Article 77 of Act No. 8 Year 1981 concerning the Law of Criminal Procedure broadened the range of pretrial objects and greatly affected the principles of  formal criminal law.
