Justice Reform 2026: Upholding Justice in the Transition Era

Since gaining independence, Indonesia has been using a colonial-era Criminal Code. However, 2026 will be a turning point as a new justice system replaces the old one. The key aspects of this reform include moving away from colonial approaches, tackling AI-related crimes, and protecting judicial integrity. The reform aims to introduce corrective and restorative measures that will replace punitive methods. This requires intellectual readiness from all involved, including judges and prosecutors, as well as systematic documentation and community engagement.
