JAKARTA - The Deputy Attorney General for General Crimes (Jampidum) of the Attorney General's Office, Fadil Zumhana, said that his party had completed 2,909 cases using a restorative justice approach since the promulgation of Attorney General Regulation Number 15 of 2020 (Perja 15/2020) concerning Termination of Prosecution Based on Restorative Justice.
"Approximately 2,909 cases have so far been resolved with restorative justice," Fadil said in a hearing (RDP) with Commission III of the DPR as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 14.
He said that the implementation of the settlement of the restorative justice case was carried out selectively by the prosecutor's office with a case title led by Jampidum every day.
"We measure that, we ask for a report from Kajati so that Kajari continues to monitor every case that we break every day so that people can feel a fair decision that can be accepted by all parties," he said.
Restorative justice, he said, is a priority program for the Attorney General of the Republic of Indonesia to provide substantive justice for the community.
"How to realize justice that can be accepted by the community, justice that can really be felt, both by victims and suspects or in a bigger environment," he said.
He hopes that the implementation of restorative justice can restore balance and restore integrity in society, including changes in the paradigm for the prosecutor himself.
"We managed to lead to change the mindset of the prosecutor, who was a formalistic nature, back to the settlement of cases felt by the community. We no longer want to imprison people, we want to restore the situation as before, so that people live in an orderly, comfortable, side by side to create unity and national unity," he said.

The community, he continued, also responded positively to the implementation of restorative justice carried out in accordance with Perja 15/2020.
"Not getting a reaction from the public in the form of encouragement or pretrial, maybe those who are dissatisfied, this shows that community satisfaction with restorative justice," he said.
Finally, he dismissed suggestions related to the implementation of restorative justice as a place to negotiate a case.
"Regarding suspicion or some opinion that RJ is the place where the owner of the negotiations or where we negotiated, we have never existed because until now there has been no protest from the public or pretrial filed against the termination of prosecution based on restorative justice," he said.
Previously, member of Commission III of the DPR Johan Budi reminded that there should be no impression that restorative justice is a way to 'peace' over a case that was not originally included in Perja 15/2020.
Earlier, Mr. Johan restorative justice was not used as a place to negotiate or lobby related to the settlement of the case,' said Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the House of Representatives Ahmad Sahroni, who led the way of RDP.
