- The Indonesian Government is currently promoting the most recently revised version of the Draft Criminal Law Code, which was issued back in 2019 ("RKUHP 2019"), however, many sections of the general public remain unhappy.
- Professor Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej, Indonesia’s Vice-Minister of Law and Human Rights, stated recently that the government has been working on a number of revisions to the RKUHP 2019 after conducting public discussion sessions across 12 Indonesian cities ("Public Discussion"). The Vice-Minister also stated that many civic and community organizations were protesting due to the fact that the government has yet to publish the latest version of the RKUHP. However, the Vice-Minister went on to confirm that the RKUHP had yet to be submitted to the House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat – "DPR") for approval. The Vice-Minister concluded by offering his reassurance that after the revised RKUHP framework has been submitted to the DPR, it will be made available to the general public in order to solicit input and feedback.
- The current state of play is that Commission III of the DPR has agreed to include the newly revised RKUHP under the 2021 Priority National Legislative Program (Program Legislasi Nasional /Prolegnas).
