JAKARTA - The Bengkulu High Prosecutor's Office will soon build a Restorative Justice House to resolve cases quickly without having to go up to the prosecution process.

The General Criminal Coordinator of the Bengkulu Prosecutor's Office, Alexander Zaldi, said the construction was carried out based on the direction of the Attorney General's Office so that all Prosecutors in Indonesia have Restorative Justice Houses. Friday, May 13, quoted from Antara.

For Bengkulu Province, the location of the Restorative Justice House is in the Long Beach tourist area of Bengkulu City.

His party has collaborated with the Bengkulu Provincial Government for the construction of the house.

Alexander stated that the construction of the Restorative Justice House was necessary because the process of resolving cases with the principles of restorative justice received a positive response from the community.

"Therefore, the Attorney General ST Burhanuddin directed that it should be institutionalized by the prosecutor's office by establishing a Restorative Justice House," he said.

He explained that the principle of resolving problems with peace and deliberation had been applied at the Bengkulu High Court in stopping prosecutions based on restorative justice.

Restorative justice prioritizes peace and deliberation between the suspect and the suspect's family with the victim and the victim's family and witnessed by community leaders.

Previously, Restorative Justice Houses had been formed in nine provinces, namely the North Sumatra District Attorney's Office, Aceh District Attorney's Office, South Sulawesi District Attorney's Office, West Sulawesi District Attorney's Office, West Java District Attorney's Office, East Java District Attorney's Office, Central Java District Attorney's Office, Riau Islands District Attorney's Office, and Banten District Attorney's Office.
