Development of Death Penalty in Indonesia in Human Rights Perspective

Human trafficking is a violation that destroys human’s honor and dignity. Every year the number of victims of human trafficking is soaring, LPSK states that in 2021 there will be 210 victims of human trafficking, with details of male victims as many as 75 persons, while women amounting to 135 persons. Several things cause human trafficking, one of which is the lack of legal protection for the victims, prevention of women trafficking that is not properly implementated, and lack of education which causes loss of legal morals and responsibility to protect people, especially who are vurnerable. In addition to the above, there is also a lack of public understanding and knowledge on human trafficking issues, despite since 2007 since the Criminal Act of Trafficking in Persons No. 21 of 2007 was established. Another cause is due to economic demands, demands for survival among the poor or marginalized group, and on the other hand there is a desire to earn large incomes in an easy and fast way. In national and international law, human trafficking is one of the most common violations of the law, especially for women and children’s victims. Human trafficking is very detrimental not only materially or immaterially but also to the protection of the poor and younger generations who are the main targets of human trafficking. This research will apply the normative juridical method from various sources of law and legislation to review the two issues of this research, namely (1) describing how the law is enforced against traffickers, and (2) analyzing the government's role in overcoming the recovery of victims of women trafficking. Preliminary research result shows that legal protection for victims of women trafficking is far from maximum. This will then be investigated further regarding regulations that will help enforce laws against trafficked women, as well as the extent of government support to assist the recovery of victims of women trafficking.

Efforts to prevent, protect and save the Indonesian people from the abuse of Narcotics as intended by The Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics are carried out through rehabilitation. The rehabilitation can release users from dependence and reduce the danger of disease for addicts and victims of abuse. The existence of rehabilitation is essentially the protection of human life and basic rights to health. It is in accordance with human values ??and legal objectives, namely to provide justice, benefit and legal certainty. These values ??are the basis for consideration that rehabilitation needs to be mandatory for addicts and victims of narcotics abusers. The overcoming narcotics crime by imposing imprisonment on addicts and victims of narcotics abuse certainly cannot break the chain of narcotics abuse. However, in practice, not all addicts and victims of narcotics abusers receive rehabilitation sanctions. The majority of the demands of the public prosecutor against the defendant are imprisonment, and only a few are demanding the imposition of rehabilitation, as well as the judge's decision. This is the evidence that the public prosecutor rarely demands rehabilitation for narcotics defendants. The existence of legal counsel and expert testimony is seen significant in influencing the judge to give a rehabilitation decision. This study will discuss on: 1) Analysis of judge's decisions for addicts and victims of narcotics abusers and 2) Reconstruction of rehabilitation arrangements in the narcotics law in the future. This research is normative juridical research examining various regulations regarding rehabilitation for addicts and victims of narcotics abusers as well as court decisions related to this problem. The legal materials used are analyzed qualitatively and presented in an analytical descriptive manner.
