Abstract

The rate of sexual violence against children in Indonesia is high, and increases every year. However, the law enforcement process invovles both advantages and disadvantages, with respect to the implementation of castration sanctions in Indonesia. These relate to human rights from both the perspective of the perpetrator, and the victim. In addition, the lack of clear legal provisions regarding procedures for implementing castration sanctions also creates obstacles to their implementation. The research addresses the following questions: How does the controversy surrounding castration sanctions relate to human rights? How can the legal provisions for castration sanctions in Indonesia be reformulated to coply with human rights principles? This research employs a normative research method supported by empirical data. The results of the research show that the implementation of chemical castration has advantages and disadvantages, including the idea that chemical castration violates human rights. Another controversy concerns the refusal of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) to become the executor of castration because the implementation of chemical castration in the form of criminal sanctions is contrary to the doctor's code of ethics. With this controversy, it is necessary to reformulate the implementation of chemical castration sanctions in Indonesia, which will be offered in this research based on the implementation of castration penalties in other countries.
