Overview

Indonesia's current House of Representatives has set a target of completing what seems to be the most ambitious legislative work in the country’s history, specifically the introduction of a new Criminal Law Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana – “KUHP”). This new code will replace the existing and now century-old KUHP. However, immediately after the House announced that it would pass the Draft Criminal Law Code (“RKUHP 2018”) in January of 2018, it once again put deliberations on hold.
