Abstract

This article is going to explain the urge of the West Manggarai community to prioritise the use of living law over state law when solving crimes that occur in the West Manggarai community. This paper will examine why state law is ineffective in resolving crimes in the society of West Manggarai and the legal impact of crime settlement through the Tu’a Golo Customary Institution in the context of Indonesian criminal justice objectives. This method of writing employs non-doctrinal methods with an interdisciplinary, a cultural, and a legal pluralism approach. The results shows that, first, the dysfunction of the role of state law is caused by dissatisfaction and mistrust of the community towards state legal mechanisms that appear formal and procedural, complicated, and do not provide a sense of justice and peace for the community. Second; Criminal violation cases are resolved under the Tu’a Golo customary institution coherent with Indonesian Law, including reflecting the value of responsibility, the value of peace/tranquilly of the parties (perpetrators and victims), the justice value and utility, and bring legal certainty. Thus, not all criminal cases should be resolved through state legal mechanisms that require perpetrators to be incarcerated, but also through customary law mechanisms that emphasise recovery in order to create social harmony.
