For more than a century, our country's criminal law regime has been predominantly relying upon the ancient understanding of criminalizing human beings in a rather classic and rigid method of punishments through KUHP which exists long before our independence. Unfortunately, these methods have been proven through and through to be ineffective, both in giving deterrent impact to the convicted and society in general, as well as providing appropriate relief to the victims. The emergence of New KUHP, which will be effective in 2026, is set to cater those concerns with a more socially-adaptable approach.

Juvenile Justice System in Comparison to Criminal Justice System in Indiaijtsrd
Children and adults are treated differently as far as the legal perspective is concerned. Law considers the offence committed by the child as a delinquent act rather than a crime. Courts have established a different procedure for trial in case of a child. The child and adult not only differ in criminal proceedings but on other grounds also. They do not have the same constitutional rights as adults. The administration of justice system has a different perspective in case of an offence committed by a child. If an offence is committed by an adult, it is perceived as a crime and he or she is taken under legal consideration for the same. On the other hand, if an offence is committed by a child, the court observes the delinquency of the act. However, there is an exception in some case where the child can be treated as an adult. The main objective of the juvenile justice system is to make sure that the child is rehabilitated so that he or she does not repeat the same crime in future. In an adult justice system, the main objective is to threaten the accused by way of punishment so that he or she should not commit such heinous offences in future.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

1. What Foreigners Should Be Aware of About the
New KUHP
Legal Brief
Overview on New Indonesian Penal Code
2. Backgrounds
A H R P L e g a l B r i e f
1
At present, the Indonesian government has just carried out criminal law reform, which is expected to bring
about changes in the legal system in order to form a legal culture that supports better societal procedures
and business activities.
This year, on January 2, 2023, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, approved the draft
law on the criminal law code to become Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning 2023 ("New KUHP"). The
ratification of the old KUHP was made and ratified with the aim of realizing the 1945 national criminal law of
the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia as well as the general legal principles recognized by the
people of nations to replace the Criminal Code inherited from the Dutch East Indies colonial government.
Consideration point (a) of New KUHP.
Efforts to reform the Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana/Criminal Code (hereinafter
referred to as “Old KUHP") in Indonesia is aimed for renewal and review of three main
issues in the law: (i) formulation of conducts which are considered as criminal acts, (ii)
criminal responsibility from the offender, both by natural person and corporate, and (iii)
type of crimes and applicable action against such.
Muliadi dan Diah Sulistyani, “Pertanggungjawaban Pidana Korporasi”, PT Alumni Bandung, 2013.

In the New KUHP, several provisions have been added and updated which are applicable
not only for Indonesian citizens, including entity, but also for foreign citizens and foreign
entities that needs to be obeyed in conducting any activity which is related to Indonesia’s
territory, citizens, government, regardless of where the concerned act takes place.
In this way, it is hoped that the application of the New KUHP as a form of criminal law
reform in Indonesia can avoid social concerns as well as to enhance protection, security,
and peace in the life of the nation and society.

3. The Purpose of Reforming KUHP
The reformation of criminal law post-independence has been actively discoursed since the enactment of Law Number 1 of
1946 on Criminal Law Provisions (“Law No. 1/1946”) which was announced on 26 February 1946. In Article 5 Law No.
1/1946, it is emphasized that states that, “criminal law provision – which is wholly or partially inoperable, or against the
status of Republic of Indonesian as independent state, or no longer has its meaning – has to be considered as wholly or
temporarily partially invalid.” The intentions behind the reformation of criminal law are as follows:
Criminal law in Old KUHP is no longer able to be the general basis of criminal law, norms
and values of criminal law. This is because the general provisions (Book I Old KUHP),
general criminal norms of crimes (Book II Old KUHP) and violations (Book III Old KUHP)
are no longer relevant to the growth of national criminal law and basic criminal knowledge.
The application of Iex specialis principle which creates obscure legal certainty with the
existence of 2 (two) special criminal laws, for instance on Law on Corruption Criminal
Conduct.
There had been no living law which was comprehensively formulated. This may hamper
the justice for society due to the fact that customary laws are still effectively applicable so
long as they are not in contradiction with Pancasila and Human Rights, and general law
principles as recognized across states.

penalty may only be charged for alternative means of punishment
to give deterrent impact to the society and can only be conducted
after the clemency/pardon request is not granted by the President.

8. Corporate as the Subject of Criminal Law
A H R P L e g a l B r i e f
Based on New KUHP, corporate is considered as criminal law subject, which can be criminally held accountable. The corporate as criminal law subject is emphasized
as the New KUHP expands the definition of “Every Person”, which does not only refer to human beings, but also to corporate. Corporate is further defined as any
company, foundation, cooperation, state-owned enterprise, regional-owned enterprise, as well as any association in the form of legal entity or non-legal entity,
enterprise in the form of firm, limited partnership, or any of its equivalent in accordance with the laws and regulations.
As explained in the Point (5) of Elucidation of Chapter I of New KUHP, corporate is often utilized as a medium to conduct criminal action and to earn advantages
through the means of criminal actions. Hence, it is only appropriate to consider corporate as a sole actor of criminal conduct. The accountability of corporate in
criminal conducts in terms of primary sanctions is in the form of fines, and may be added with additional sanctions which comprise of:
Compensation
Repairment in
relation to the
concerned criminal
conduct
