“…In Indonesia, conflicting regulations are the current policy responses to the sexual abuse of children creating confusion in both implementation and protection of children. Further, as per Buchari et al (2017), in Indonesia, the policies presently implemented were in overall inefficient both in averting and ensuring enforcement of the law against perpetrators.

This article provides a case study of child sex tourism (CST) in Surabaya, Indonesia. CST cases are difficult to surface because the victims of CST are such vulnerable human beings. Victims of CST need a variety of forms of support for their recovery and reintegration. This article contends that social, economic, political, technological, and individual factors cause CST. It examines the negative impacts of CST, which are medical, social, psychological, and physical in nature. It also reveals that the techniques used for CST recruitment are fake promises, debt bondage, emotional abuse, counterfeit love, drug addiction, physical abuse, and gifts and favors. The elimination of CST calls for ending certain depraved cultural practices and beliefs, rehabilitation and reintegration of the victims, proactive anti-CST government policies and programs, enactment and effective enforcement of tough laws prohibiting CST, prosecution of the offenders, raising public awareness about the ills of CST, providing education for all children, the provision of national identification documents to all children, and strict border controls to prevent the trafficking of children for sex tourism.

“…And in Russia, chemical castration has been used for child sex offenders, and the perpetrators must be declared as a pedophile by a panel of doctors. 21 Some of these countries determine the existence of detailed characteristics, such as the determination of the age threshold for chemical castration punishment, then the classification of the perpetrator as a pedophile so that he can be given chemical castration punishment for himself. In contrast to Indonesia, which it does not include specific characteristics for determining punishment of castration.…”

Chemical castration is an additional penalty for child sexual abuse stipulated under Protection of Children Law, which states that anyone who intentionally commits sexual violence against children in any way and with certain criminal elements is subject to additional penalties in the form of chemical castration. As an additional penalty, chemical castration is excessive and deprives the right to reproduction. The criminal application also explicitly overrides state protection of human rights based on international conventions such as the ICCPR and UNCAT 1948 which has been ratified by Indonesia Human Rights Law. The implementation of chemical castration in Indonesia may able to reduce the number of habitual crimes or recidivists on sexual offender still raise the pros and cons. On the other hand, the effectiveness of this method in preventing these crimes is still debatable. The Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) rejects the assignment of the execution because the additional penalty execution by the doctor is in contrary to the Indonesian Medical Ethics Code. This study aims to find solutions to conflict of law that occur in the application of chemical castration in the perspective of criminal law and human rights.
