Abstract

Background: The Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), rooted in colonial law, needed modernization to align with national identity and global standards. Aim: This study examines the integration of local customs and universal principles in the new KUHP under Law Number 1 Year 2023. Findings: The new KUHP incorporates customary norms (living law) to ensure culturally relevant justice while adopting universal principles like legality and human rights. This integration addresses local diversity and international obligations, strengthening Indonesia’s legal framework. Novelty & Implications: By combining local wisdom and global norms, the KUHP creates an inclusive, responsive legal system that upholds national identity and global justice, serving as a model for legal pluralism.

Highlights:

  • The new KUHP integrates customary norms into formal legal frameworks, bridging cultural diversity and modern law.
  • It incorporates universal principles, enhancing compliance with international standards on human rights and justice.
  • The reform fosters a more inclusive and responsive legal system, strengthening Indonesia's global legal identity.
