QUO VADIS HUKUM POSITIF INDONESIA TERHADAP PRAKTIK PERBUDAKAN MODERN: CATATAN KESELARASAN DENGAN INSTRUMEN INTERNASIONAL

Abstract

Modern slavery is a global challenge that threatens human rights and humanity. This article investigates the existence and countermeasures of modern slavery in the context of Indonesian positive law and its alignment with relevant international instruments. The article identifies legal regulations at the national level that specifically address modern slavery, such as Law No. 21/2007 on the Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons. In addition, steps taken by the Indonesian government to implement its international commitments to combat modern slavery, such as ratifying the Palermo Protocol, are analysed. In addition to evaluating regulations at the national level, this article also explores the extent to which Indonesia has complied with standards and principles contained in international instruments, such as the Palermo Protocol. This conformity will be analysed to assess the extent to which Indonesia has complied with its international obligations in the context of the protection of victims of modern slavery. The research method used is juridical-normative with a statutory, case, analytical, and comparative approach. The results found that in law enforcement there are shortcomings in cracking down on any practices of modern slavery in the criminal realm. In addition, children who are victims do not have the capacity to give consent in the mode carried out and the guarantee of restitution implementation has not been fully accommodated at the implementation level.
