Riki Waruwu: New Criminal and Procedural Codes – More Than Just Legal Texts

Speaking at a talk show hosted by the Supreme Court of Indonesia, Dr. Riki Waruwu highlighted the significance of the country’s recently overhauled criminal and procedural codes. He stressed that these new laws are not mere texts but essential steps towards a fairer legal system. Innovations such as mandatory video recording of interrogations and the expansion of admissible evidence categories aim to protect human rights and ensure transparency in legal processes. Waruwu urged the public to reflect on and appreciate the importance of these changes, so the new legal framework becomes a true compass in the realm of justice.
