Abstract

In the context of the criminal law system, the issue of protecting human rights is always interesting to observe. Not only for victims, it is also important to guarantee and provide human rights protection to suspects/defendants. Moreover, if the suspect/defendant has the status of a justice collaborator. Justice collaborators has an important role in the criminal law system in Indonesia, and even in several criminal cases that have attracted public attention, justice collaborators have become key actors who have succeeded in uncovering the criminal cases that occurred. Therefore, maximum protection for justice collaborators is a very important thing to strive for. In the Indonesian criminal law system, several regulations regarding justice collaboration have been made by lawmakers, but in practice, several obstacles are still found. Based on that background, this study will then discuss the following research question: what are the dynamics of legal protection for justice collaborators in Indonesia? This study uses the doctrinal legal research methods that relies on secondary data in the form of relevant legal materials. Data are analyzed qualitatively using statutory and conceptual approaches. This study concludes that justice collaborators have indeed been regulated in many laws and regulations in Indonesia, but there are still several weaknesses. From the human rights perspective, protection of justice collaborators is a form of protection from the state for all citizens without discrimination, even though they are in the position of a suspect/accused (equality before the law principle). And for the victims, protection for justice collaborators can be meaningful as a further effort to completely uncover the criminal case.
