Restatement, Pihak Ketiga yang Berkepentingan, Criminal Procedure LawAbstract
Article 79 of the Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 8 Tahun 1981 tentang Hukum Acara Pidana (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Procedure Law, hereinafter referred to as “KUHAP”), Article 80 of the KUHAP, and Article 81 of the KUHAP mention “pihak ketiga yang berkepentingan (interested third parties)” as one of the subjects who can file a pretrial. However, the KUHAP does not explain in detail who the “pihak ketiga yang berkepentingan” are in connection with the pretrial application. Legal experts interpret that “pihak ketiga yang berkepentingan” are not only witnesses, victims of criminal acts and/or reporters, but also the general public. In Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia (Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, hereinafter referred to as “MKRI”) Decision No. 76/PUU-X/2012, dated January 8, 2012, the legal interpretation of “pihak ketiga yang berkepentingan” requires a broad interpretation. The “pihak ketiga yang berkepentingan” are not just witnesses or victims, but the wider community who can be represented by institutions that fight for the public interest, such as non-governmental organizations, or other community organizations.
