• Historical Context of Indonesian Criminal Law:

  Indonesian criminal law has evolved through various historical phases: pre-colonial kingdoms, Dutch colonialism, and post-independence. Law Number 1 of 1946 is currently the basis of criminal law in Indonesia, applicable nationwide.

• Definitions of Criminal Law:
  • Objective Criminal Law (Ius Puni): Regulations containing prohibitions and obligations, with penalties for violations.
  • Subjective Criminal Law (Ius Penal): The state's right to punish offenders, which is limited by objective law.
• Issues with the Draft Criminal Code:

  The draft is criticized for being a political legacy of Dutch colonial law, which does not align with Indonesian values. Public demonstrations occurred against the draft, leading to a postponement of its ratification.

• Controversial Articles in the Draft:
  • Corruption: Lighter penalties compared to existing laws.
  • Adultery and Cohabitation: Criminalized under specific articles.
  • Contraceptives: Penalizes unsolicited promotion or display.
  • Presidential Dignity: Articles regulating offenses against the president.
  • Treason and Defamation: Criminal penalties for insulting the national flag.
  • Abortion: Various articles regulating Abortion-related offenses.
  • Vagrancy: Heavy fines for vagrants.
  • Indecent Acts: Defined penalties for acts between individuals of the same sex.
  • Drug Crimes: Criticized for prioritizing criminal penalties over health approaches.
  • Human Rights Violations: Issues with the retroactive application of laws.
• Proposed Solutions:

  The President should firmly postpone the ratification of the draft to address public concerns. A thorough review of at least 14 controversial articles is necessary before proceeding.

• Conclusion:

  The current Indonesian Criminal Code, a remnant of colonial law, needs revision to reflect the values of an independent nation. The importance of clarity in the law to avoid future controversies is emphasized.
