“…Belgium haswithin the civil law traditiona mixed system, with characteristics of both inquisitorial and adversarial criminal proceedings (De Smet, 1999;Verstraeten, 2012). In this regard, it can be noted that exclusively adversarial or inquisitorial procedures no longer exist and that elements of both can be found in both continental and Anglo-Saxon countries (Brants & Franken, 2009;Brants & Ringnalda, 2011). Moreover, the importance of the adversarial model in continental countries has increased under the influence of the case law of the ECtHR concerning the right to a fair trial, as guaranteed by Article 6 ECHR.…”

Both case law of the European Court of Human Rights and EU legal instruments on the one hand, and academic legal psychological literature on the other, recognise the specific needs of so-called vulnerable suspects in criminal proceedings. In this regard, the important role of the criminal defence lawyer in compensating for a suspect's vulnerability is emphasised, especially because vulnerable persons require special care to understand their legal rights and to improve the quality of their statements. Consequently, defence lawyers must be aware early on in proceedings whether their clients can be qualified as vulnerable in order to adequately deal with this presumed vulnerability. In practice, determining early on whether or not a client is vulnerable is a challenging task.Drawing from a legal theoretical and qualitative empirical analysis, this article outlines how Belgian defence lawyers perceive and identify suspect vulnerability in the early stages of a criminal investigation.

Perlindungan hak korban untuk meminta dibukanya kembali penuntutan kepada hakim merupakan bentuk perwujudan prinsip fair trial karena hak untuk mendapatkan proses persidangan yang adil (fair trial) bukan absolut menjadi hak tersangka namun juga hak setiap warga negara, korban, dan saksi-saksi (Brants & Franken, 2009 Berdasarkan rangkaian perubahan pertimbangan kebijakan pidana mekanisme penyelesaian perkara pidana di luar persidangan tersebut, maka terlihat ratio legis pengaturan penyelesaian perkara pidana di luar persidangan adalah untuk mewujudkan keadilan melalui penyederhanaan sistem peradilan pidana dan penerapan asas kelayakan yakni keharusan bagi Penuntut umum untuk benar-benar memperhatikan kepentingan publik (public interest test) dalam memutuskan menerapkan mekanisme penyelesaian perkara pidana di luar persidangan sehingga sumber daya penegak hukum dapat lebih difokuskan untuk penanganan perkara-perkara yang lebih berat.…”

Tindak pidana yang bersifat ringan harus diselesaikan dengan mekanisme yang sama seperti tindak pidana yang berat, adalah salah satu bentuk ironi keadilan. Untuk mengurangi persoalan ironi keadilan tersebut, beberapa negara telah mengembangkan berbagai mekanisme penyelesaian perkara di luar persidangan untuk perkara-perkara yang bersifat ringan. Selain itu, sistem peradilan pidana di setiap negara secara umum juga hanya mampu memproses sebagian kecil dari seluruh tindak pidana yang terjadi sehingga penuntut umum harus melaksanakan diskresi dalam memutuskan perkara mana yang akan dilanjutkan atau dihentikan penuntutannya atau diselesaikan dengan mekanisme penyelesaian perkara pidana yang bersifat ringan di luar persidangan. Isu hukum yang dianalisis dalam tulisan ini adalah bagaimana ratio legis pengaturan mekanisme penyelesaian perkara pidana di luar persidangan di Belanda dan Inggris. Hasil dari analisis tersebut adalah ratio legis pengaturan penyelesaian perkara pidana di luar persidangan adalah untuk mewujudkan keadilan melalui penyederhanaan sistem peradilan pidana dan penerapan asas kelayakan. Keadaan berbeda terjadi pada sistem peradilan pidana Indonesia karena sangat tidak efisien, tidak sesuai dengan asas peradilan cepat, sederhana, dan biaya ringan. Berdasarkan kesimpulan diatas, maka dapat disampaikan rekomendasi bahwa asas kelayakan perlu segera diterima dalam sistem peradilan pidana di Indonesia dengan cara mengadopsi teori subsosialitas sebagaimana tercantum dalam Pasal 9a Sr. dan mengadopsi mekanisme penyelesaian perkara tindak pidana yang bersifat ringan di luar persidangan dalam bentuk transaksi dengan model komposisi, dengan disertai adanya modifikasi penambahan pokok-pokok pemikiran adaptasi bagi sistem hukum Indonesia.Keywords: penyelesaian; perkara; pidana

“…Adversarial systems belong to the common law countries, where the law originates from English common law. Inquisitorial systems can be found for the most part in the civil law countries of continental Europe (Brants and Franken 2009). The adversarial court procedures, revolving around the interaction between the prosecutor and the defense lawyer, have a distinct negative influence on the extent to which the child is able to participate in court procedures.…”

“…Lawyers (should) prepare their clients for this questioning by the judge at the hearing. Also the lawyer gives his oral pleading during the hearing, after the prosecutor has done so, usually highlighting the accountability of the young person, mitigating circumstances, and thein his and his client's viewmost appropriate sentence or measure (Brants and Franken 2009). The judge does also have much regard for the personal circumstances of the child, as the child's situation is taken into consideration as part of the case, before the guilt of the child is established.…”

The protection of fundamental human rights in criminal process<br> General report

Abstract: 1 Taiwan, part of mainland China until the end of the 1940s, is difficult to place in any one legal tradition. The structure of its criminal process, however, is recognisable as a mixture of adversarial and inquisitorial (see Section 4).
