JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR from the Gerindra Party faction, Habiburokhman admitted, he was surprised that the Criminal Code (KUHP) which was just passed by the DPR received criticism from the United Nations (UN) in Indonesia.
In fact, he said, before the RKUHP was passed into law, the United Nations had never commented.
"I am confused that there are foreign parties misalanya PBB, the United States is commenting on this law, as if we were a disaster when it was passed, where have they been?" Habiburokhman said in an online discussion, Saturday, December 10.
It is known, the United Nations highlighted the article of adultery, and the rules regarding LGBT which are deemed to violate human rights.
According to Habiburokhman, tourists do not need to worry because the article on adultery is included in the article on the complaint offense. He explained that the crime of adultery, family gathering can be processed legally if there are complaints from husband/wife for people who are bound by marriage or their parents/children for people who are not bound by marriage.
Complaints can also be withdrawn as long as examinations at court hearings have not yet begun.
"Don't worry, this will not be the source of anarchy because the two articles prohibit adultery and gathering together are complaints," explained Habiburokhman.
"The complaint offense is a offense that can only apply, if someone reports it, and it is not just anyone who reports it, it is very limited, namely the husband and wife or parents," continued the Deputy Head of Gerindra.
Previously, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad said the council would form a task force team (task force) to help the government disseminate the Criminal Code (KUHP) to the public.
This is due to the large number of Indonesians and world citizens who have misunderstood the new Criminal Code.
In addition, considering the transition period for the implementation of the Criminal Code which was only ratified by the DPR on December 6, yesterday was 3 years since it was promulgated.
Therefore, according to him, it is necessary to adjust technical regulations.
"We will form a kind of task force to socialize the Criminal Code," said Dasco, Friday, December 9.
While the DPR is intensifying socialization, Dasco also invites the public to use their constitutional rights to sue the new Criminal Code to the Constitutional Court (MK).
"That is the right of every citizen if during the socialization period they also want to use their constitutional rights to conduct judicial reviews, for example, go ahead," said Dasco. This Professor of Law admits that there are several articles that are highlighted by the people of the country and the world in the new Criminal Code. Therefore, Dasco emphasized, the Criminal Code needs to be further socialized to the community, even though the implementation period is still 3 years away.
For example, said Dasco, related to the article of adultery or the one that regulates the gathering of kebo. He explained that the article is a complaint offense and only certain people can complain.
"Regarding the article that is adultery of all kinds, it is a complaint offense, the second is indeed the one who reports the closest family," he explained.
So the world doesn't have to worry about regulations against foreign tourists on vacation in Indonesia.
However, he considers, the criticism is part of the dynamics that need to be socialized not only at home but abroad.
"If tourists do, will their families report them here? I think that's the case," said the daily chairman of the Gerindra DPP.
"But I understand that the dynamics that occur are because we really need to socialize not only internally in Indonesia but also abroad," added Dasco.
