TANTANGAN HUKUMAN MATI BAGI PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Corruption as an extraordinary crime provides regulations regarding the death penalty for its perpetrators. The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges of implementing the death penalty for corruption crimes, which are considered extraordinary crimes that seriously undermine national stability and governance. The methodology used includes a comprehensive review of laws, regulations, and academic discussions on the topic, as well as an analysis of public opinion and human rights considerations. The results show that although there are strong arguments for the death penalty as a deterrent to corruption, there are many obstacles, including the need for legal reform and compliance with international human rights standards. It can be concluded that a balanced approach is needed to effectively combat corruption while respecting human rights, with suggestions to focus more on strengthening the existing legal framework and law enforcement mechanisms and encouraging the impoverishment of corruptors through the instrument of asset confiscation and restrictions on political rights.
