Is the Implementation of the Juvenile Justice System Already Appropriate? A Perspective on Fulfilling Children's Rights

The primary goal of this study is to comprehensively comprehend the degree to which the juvenile justice system in Indonesia upholds the rights of children engaged in criminal cases. The research employs a normative legal analysis approach, concentrating on the legal provisions that oversee juvenile justice. The central objective is to discern the level of conformity or misalignment between the existing legal framework and the principles governing children's rights. The outcomes of the legal scrutiny indicate that the majority of legislations strive to afford special protection to children, distinguishing their legal regulations from those applicable to adults. Nevertheless, specific operational facets necessitate further regulatory refinement, alongside an enhanced understanding and execution by authorities through a comprehensive dissemination and educational strategy encompassing all legislation pertinent to children.
