Keywords:
terrorism, human rights, legal analysisAbstract
This research analyzes the legal development of terrorism crime regulations in Indonesia, focusing on the transition from Law No. 15 of 2003 to Law No. 5 of 2018 concerning the Eradication of Terrorism Crimes. The study employs a normative juridical approach, examining statutory provisions and relevant literature to understand the internal aspects of Indonesia’s positive legal system. The revision of the anti-terrorism law broadens the definition of terrorism and introduces new criminal provisions, such as the criminalization of military or paramilitary training for specific purposes. These changes aim to enhance the effectiveness of counter-terrorism efforts but also raise concerns regarding potential human rights violations, particularly in terms of extended detention, arrest periods, and surveillance. The involvement of the military (TNI) and provisions for victim compensation represent significant legal developments. However, the expansion of investigative powers and the broad definition of terrorism necessitate strict oversight to prevent abuse and safeguard fundamental rights. The study concludes that while the updated law strengthens the legal framework against terrorism, it must be balanced with the protection of human rights, especially for suspects and defendants, to ensure justice and prevent misuse of authority.
