Abstract

Ideally, the validity of Testimonium de Auditu evidence in cases of sexual violence should provide stronger legal protection for victims, given that sexual violence often occurs in closed situations without direct witnesses. However, in reality, Testimonium de Auditu has long been considered to have insufficient evidentiary strength in Indonesian criminal law, leading to its frequent disregard in law enforcement processes. This research focuses on how regulatory changes in Indonesia have accommodated and strengthened the validity of Testimonium de Auditu in the context of sexual violence crimes. This study aims to analyze the renewal of the validity of Testimonium de Auditu evidence in sexual violence crimes based on the perspective of Indonesian legislation. The research is classified as a qualitative literature study, utilizing a normative legal approach. The findings indicate that the reforms outlined in the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), Constitutional Court Decision Number 65/PUU-VIII/2010, and Law Number 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS) have strengthened the position of Testimonium de Auditu as valid evidence in cases of sexual violence. These reforms allow Testimonium de Auditu to be recognized and more adaptive within the criminal justice system, particularly in addressing the challenges of proving sexual violence, which often lacks direct witnesses.

Abstract

Sexual violence, which includes actions that demean or attack an individual's body and reproductive functions, causes profound physical and psychological suffering and hinders victims' access to education and healthcare. Ideally, restitution aims to compensate victims for both material and immaterial losses, as stipulated in Law No. 31 of 2014, Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2022, and Law No. 12 of 2022. However, in practice, many restitution cases are not effectively implemented due to the financial incapacity of the perpetrators. This study uses a juridical-empirical method to evaluate the restitution mechanism at the LPSK Representative Office in Medan and assess the restitution system from the perspectives of Criminal Law and Islamic Criminal Law. The research findings indicate that from the perspective of Criminal Law, the restitution system faces major challenges due to the inability of perpetrators to meet their payment obligations, despite adequate regulations and procedures. From the perspective of Islamic Criminal Law, the restoration of victims' rights, known as mahr mitsil or diyat, offers a restorative approach that can complement the restitution system by emphasizing the perpetrator's responsibility to fairly compensate for the losses. This study highlights the need for adjustments in the restitution procedure and detailed evaluation of the perpetrators' financial capacity to enhance the effectiveness of the restitution system.

Abstract

The issue of corruption eradication in Indonesia is evident from the weak legal protection for Justice Collaborators and Whistleblowers. Although they play a vital role in exposing corruption crimes, the reality is that many of them face physical threats, psychological pressure, and intimidation, which hinder the effectiveness of law enforcement. This study aims to analyze the urgency of legal protection and understand the factors that motivate individuals to become Justice Collaborators or Whistleblowers in the context of corruption crimes in Indonesia. This research employs legal research methods with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The findings conclude that the urgency of legal protection is crucial to ensuring the safety and active participation of Justice Collaborators and Whistleblowers in uncovering corruption cases. Moreover, their motivation is influenced by moral drives, social responsibility, and legal incentives that encourage the courage to report or testify, even when faced with significant risks.

Abstract

Legal protection for victims of terrorism should ensure justice and welfare for the victims, both from the perspective of Islamic criminal law and positive law. In reality, the application of law in Indonesia, particularly in the context of victim protection from terrorism, still faces challenges such as legal obstacles and limitations in victim protection mechanisms. This research aims to examine legal protection for terrorism victims from the perspectives of both Islamic criminal law and positive law. This article falls under qualitative legal research. The methodology employed is a normative juridical study with a correlational analysis between Islamic law and positive law. The findings conclude that legal protection for terrorism victims in the context of Islamic criminal law and positive law aims to protect victims' rights and ensure justice. Islamic criminal law emphasizes victim restitution through diyat (compensation) and qisas (retributive justice), while positive law in Indonesia focuses on restitution and state compensation. Despite their different approaches, both are complementary in ensuring victim protection.

Abstract

Should be, the principle of Ultimum Remedium should be applied in the enforcement of law against crimes committed by children; however, in reality, in Decision Number: 9/Pid.Sus-Anak/2023/Pn Plg, this principle was not optimally implemented. This inconsistency raises issues regarding the ideal legal protection for children as offenders, particularly in cases of sexual offenses. A harsher treatment than expected can impact the psychological well-being of the child and undermine the more humane rehabilitation goals within the juvenile justice system. This study aims to analyze the enforcement of law regarding sexual offenses committed by children and to assess the basis for the judge's considerations in rendering a decision based on the principle of Ultimum Remedium. The methodology used is normative legal research with a case approach, where the primary data is derived from the Palembang District Court Decision Number: 9/Pid.Sus-Anak/2023/Pn Plg, supported by secondary and tertiary legal materials that are analyzed qualitatively. The research findings indicate that the law enforcement in this case imposed a prison sentence of 4 years along with a fine of Rp 50,000,000, with an alternative of 3 months of vocational training. In the judge's considerations, the basis cited was Article 81 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 76 D of the Child Protection Law, emphasizing both juridical and non-juridical aspects, although the application of the Ultimum Remedium principle was not enforced due to various aggravating factors.

Abstract

Ideally, conflicts are resolved through legal channels that uphold justice. However, in reality, the Madurese community often resorts to the tradition of carok, particularly in cases involving honor, which frequently result in fatalities. This raises legal issues, especially regarding criminal accountability for carok perpetrators under both state law and Islamic law. This study aims to analyze the carok tradition, which leads to death, from the perspective of Islamic criminal law, including criminal accountability, the application of Islamic law to carok, and specific conditions where carok is committed out of necessity or self-defense. This article is a library-based study with a juridical-normative approach. The methodology employed is descriptive-analytical. The findings reveal that carok perpetrators are criminally responsible for their actions that cause death. In Islamic law, carok is categorized as an act of murder with specific sanctions, except when it is carried out in self-defense or in defense of one's family.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of legal aid in Islamic criminal law, focusing on the importance of ensuring fair and equal access to legal justice. Legal aid plays a crucial role in understanding individual rights within the context of Islamic law and ensuring that judicial processes align with the principles of Islamic justice. The research employs a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach. The findings reveal that the concept of legal aid in Islamic criminal law not only facilitates access to legal proceedings but also promotes social justice and the protection of human rights within the framework of Sharia. In the Islamic judicial system, defendants, victims, witnesses, prosecutors, and guardians all have equal rights to adequate legal assistance. Defendants are entitled to a fair defense in court, while victims and witnesses require legal protection for their rights. Prosecutors are responsible for providing appropriate legal aid to uphold fair law enforcement, and guardians ensure that justice is properly administered within society.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the optimization of the implementation of diversion in handling children involved as drug couriers, with a focus on the legal regulation revisions and social support required. The research uses a normative legal study methodology with a qualitative approach, relying on descriptive analysis of existing regulations and relevant scholarly journals. The primary data sources consist of laws and regulations on juvenile criminal justice, while secondary sources are derived from legal literature published in the last ten years. The findings conclude that diversion plays an important role in addressing cases of children involved as drug couriers, but its implementation in Indonesia is still hindered by insufficiently comprehensive legal policies and inadequate social support, thus requiring regulatory revisions and inter-agency coordination to ensure its effectiveness. Social support, such as rehabilitation programs, alternative education, and economic empowerment, is crucial to creating new opportunities for these children, while technology can strengthen monitoring and evaluation of the diversion process to ensure its continuity as a rehabilitation effort based on restorative justice principles.

Abstract

Ideally, Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which prohibits torture, inhuman treatment, or degrading punishment, reflects universal principles that align with the values of justice, dignity protection, and the prohibition of cruel acts in the Qur’an. However, in reality, the implementation of these values often faces challenges both in the global context and in the application of Islamic criminal law, both in classical and contemporary times. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Article 5 of the UDHR with the teachings of the Qur’an and examine the historical construction of Islamic criminal law in implementing these values. This article is classified as qualitative research based on library research, using a normative-historical approach. The methodology employed is content analysis. The study concludes two main points. First, there is significant relevance between Article 5 of the UDHR and the teachings of the Qur’an, particularly in the principles of human dignity protection, justice, and the prohibition of cruel acts. Second, the historical construction of Islamic criminal law shows that these principles have been gradually implemented in various contexts, from the time of the Prophet, the period of the Imams of the madhhab, to the modern era.
