Membangun KUHP Nasional yang Berbasis Ke-Indonesiaan

Inherited from colonial period, the majority of law system which is ruled in Indonesia had been considered irrelevant for some reasons. First and foremost, as the product of colonialism, the spirit of law doesn\u27t fairly represent justice for any Indonesian people. Such is the case of the national Penal Code. Effort to revitalize and renew the law had begun at 1963 with no avail. The failure is caused by impartial and incomprehensive renew effort, which in turn, creating confusion among lawmakers to execute the crime. A thorough effort must be carried out in order to modify and renew the Penal Code. A total criminal law reform was needed based on political, philosophical, practical, and adaptability considerations
