Criminal Law Regulations in Korea and Indonesia
Korean criminal law has been codified as contained
in the Korean Criminal Code (Criminal Code of the Republic of Korea) which was
promulgated under Law No. 239 dated 18 September 1953. Indonesian Criminal Law
was codified in the Criminal Code (Law No. 1 of 1946 jo. Law No. 73 of 1958). The
Indonesian Criminal Code Systematics (KUHP) is different from the Korean
Criminal Code systematics.
Criminal Code (Book of criminal law), If the
systematics of the Criminal Code is compared with the Criminal Code, the very
striking difference that can be seen in this case is that the Criminal Code
does not distinguish between Crimes and Violations, while the Criminal Code
still distinguishes them.
Some comparisons between the Indonesian Penal Code
and the South Korean Criminal Code
1. Participation
In the Criminal Code, the forms of inclusion
include:
• Participants (Co-principlas), ie two or more
people jointly commit a crime (Article 30).
• Instigator (Instigator), a person who incites
another person to commit a criminal offense (Article 31).
• Accessories (ie) those who help or provide
assistance to others who commit a crime (article 32)
• The instigator who failed (article 30, paragraph
3)
2. Comparison and Repetition
• Comparison both according to the Criminal Code and
Criminal Code are both general provisions.
• Repetition according to the Criminal Code is a
general provision, whereas according to the Criminal Code it is a Special
Provision. In Korea, this residive problem is seen as more dangerous to the
public interest than concursus. This is reasonable, because a person has
already been convicted of a similar crime but not deterrent. Of course in this
case social economic and political problems must be taken into account.
3. Remove the right of prosecution
• The removal of the right of prosecution is not
regulated in the Criminal Code.
• The abolition of the criminal right according to
the Criminal Code can be found in Article 83 through Article 85, including:
a. Sentenced to death (Article 83)
b. Expiration (Article 84)
Those who abolish criminal conduct according to the
general provisions of the Criminal Code:
a. Expired (Articles 77 to 80)
b. Cancellation of award (Article 81)
c. Restoration of rights (Article 82).
4. Mistakes, Be Legal, and Cause and Effect
The Criminal Code in the formulation of articles in
its General Provisions does not explicitly separate the provisions concerning:
• The absence of error / exclusion of mistakes as a
basis for criminal negation.
• The absence is against the law or eliminated is
against the law as a reason for criminal negation.
However, the Criminal Code in some fields has been
more advanced because some of the material we have learned through criminal law
knowledge has been listed in the Criminal Code, which includes provisions
regarding children under 14 years (Article 9), about evil will (Article 13 ),
concerning negligence (Article 14), concerning misrepresentation of facts
(Article 15), concerning legal errors (Article 16), and concerning the practice
of commercial activities (Article 20).
