The Phenomenon of Terrorism Crime and the Development of Technology in the Perspective of Human Rights

Abstract

Combating terrorism is closely related to the concept of upholding and protecting human rights in a democratic country. The issue of terrorism has become a transnational issue that threatens world peace, therefore comprehensive efforts are very important for the government to overcome this problem both legally, formally, institutionally and practically. The purpose of this research is to harmonize the implementation of regulations on terrorism from a human rights perspective, because it is still a pros and cons in Indonesian society. The writing of this article uses normative legal research methods. The results showed that the Indonesian government had effective regulations in dealing with criminal acts of terrorism; also regarding the content of the material on various articles listed in Law no. 5 of 2018 is still not fully in line with the principles and norms of human rights which result in the potential or threat of human rights violations, criminal acts of terrorism are increasingly developing with technological advances that are currently spreading into social life.
