Strengthening The Dominus Litis Principle And Single Prosecution System In Law Enforcement In Indonesia

Abstract

This research discusses the strengthening of the dominus litis principle and the principle of single prosecution system in the criminal justice system in Indonesia, with a focus on the strategic role of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia as the sole controller of prosecution (single prosecutor). This principle places the Attorney General as the highest public prosecutor who controls all prosecution policies in order to maintain unity, consistency and legal certainty. However, reality shows that there are overlapping authorities, especially with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Military Oditurat, which have the potential to reduce the effectiveness of the application of this principle. The research method used is normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results of the analysis show that strengthening the dominus litis principle and the principle of a single prosecution system requires regulatory reformulation that reaffirms the role of the Prosecutor's Office as the sole prosecutorial institution, strengthening the capacity and professionalism of prosecutors, and optimising internal and external supervision. With a clear regulation and the support of qualified resources, the Prosecutor's Office is expected to be able to realise an integrated, effective, efficient and fair criminal justice system.
