Target for Implementation and Harmonization of International Human Rights Norms

The government is targeting the RKUHAP to be implemented starting January 2, 2026, along with the enactment of the new Criminal Code. This synchronization is crucial because some of the current provisions of the Criminal Code refer to the old Criminal Code which will no longer be valid, potentially causing legal complications. STHI Jentera lecturer, Asfinawati, on the same occasion, reminded that the norms in the RKUHAP must be in line with international Human Rights (HAM) standards that have been ratified by Indonesia. This includes guarantees of fair legal treatment, impartial trials, proportional sentencing, and accountability mechanisms for law enforcement officials. The discussion of the RKUHAP is still dynamic, with the government continuing to identify and inventory input from various stakeholders to ensure meaningful participation in the legislative process.News Source:This article is the result of paraphrasing and analysis of news reported by Kompas.id on September 15, 2025.
