Abstract

The reform of Indonesia’s criminal law has been started since the 1960s. The polemic arose when there was a massive wave of rejecting the ratification of the Indonesia Criminal Code Bill (RKUHP) in the form of demonstrations carried out by various elements of society to the Indonesia Parliament (DPR RI), especially the college student. The refusal was based on several substances of the RKUHP that were spread across various social media platforms, such as issues regarding the death penalty, the delict of insulting the president, santet (witchcraft), or obscenity which are briefly described in this article. Through this, the author will provide his views regarding legal issues related to the Indonesia Criminal Code Bill of 2019 which triggers action from student groups and the community. The purpose of this paper is expected to be able to provide an analysis of the legal issues that have developed related to some of the rejected substances of the RKUHP. To achieve this goal, this paper uses a normative legal research method, with a legal approach, an approach, and a conceptual approach. The legal materials used are various written regulations, legal books, expert opinions, and articles related to this theme.
