JAKARTA - The government through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (KemenkumHAM) of the Republic of Indonesia plans to intensify the socialization of the new Criminal Code (KUHP) which was passed on December 6, 2022, on 16 campuses in Indonesia.

"What is clear is that there are several things that the Government will do regarding the follow-up to the new Criminal Code," said Acting Director General of Human Rights (Dirjen HAM) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Dhana Putra, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, February 23.

First, said Dhana, the Government through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights will intensify the socialization of the new Criminal Code in 16 universities spread across various provinces.

The socialization of the Criminal Code in the educational environment will begin with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights at the end of February 2023 at Syiah Kuala University, Banda Aceh.

In more detail, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights will socialize the new Criminal Code at Gadjah Mada University, Bengkulu University, Riau University, Tanjungpura University, Padjadjaran University, Diponegoro University and Andalas University.

Next, the new Criminal Code is also socialized at Airlangga University, Brawijaya University, West Sulawesi University, Pattimura University, Mulawarman University, Mataram University, Halu Ole University, and finally at Muhammadiyah University Sorong.

The next step is to prepare a new KUHP-related module. This will be aimed at technical guidance followed by law enforcement officials.

On that occasion, Dhana also reiterated that the new Criminal Code was not designed at all or created to handle certain cases. This is because the draft Criminal Code was prepared or conceptualized since 1963.

Then on his way in 2012 when Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's administration also conveyed regarding the Criminal Code Bill and the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP).

"So there is no plan for a provision for a particular case," he asserted.
