Almost 35 years the idea of criminal law enforcement has been carried out and so far several concepts of the National Criminal Code have Keywords: been born which continue to experience developmental dynamics that are quite interesting to study. The desire to Penal Reform, Criminal realize a better criminal law and be able to fulfill the Law, Pancasila, aspirations of the people is the ideal criminal law politics Indonesian Criminal (penal policy). National Criminal Law must have Law characteristics that are typical of Indonesia, authentic and original, encompassing customary law, systems of values and beliefs, characteristics of modern states and international values. Pancasila as the source of all sources of law, which has not received serious attention needs to be used as a recommendation for the paradigm of penal reform. Pancasila has at least the main principles that must be implemented in all formulations of criminal legislation. These principles are among others, principles based on the source of religious values (Godhead / Divine God), the value of humanity (humanism), the value of unity and peace, the value of democracy and the value of social justice. Therefore, Indonesian criminal law must have values that are based on Pancasila, both in the form of legal norms (addresaat norm), on the types of acts that are regulated (straafbar), in the form of punishment or sanctions (straafmaat), as well as regulatory aspects and implementation of law enforcement law (formal law).

INTRODUCTION HAVING an Indonesian Criminal Law in the national legal system is a dream that to this day has not become real. It has been a long way for generations of criminal law intellectuals to still be incapable of embodying an ideal that wants to free themselves from the grip of the nails of the colonialism http://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/index.php/jils Journal of Indonesian Legal Studies 151 Vol 3 Issue 02, 2018 product law (Reksodiputro 1995; Reksodiputro 2009)1. This is due to the legal politics of state administrators who are not consistently committed to resolving it, since the Old Order, New Order regimes and the current Reform Order. Looking at the history of the draft Criminal Code Bill until 2012, it cannot be separated from the effort to reform the Criminal Code thoroughly. This effort began only after the recommendation of the results of the National Law Seminar I, on 11-16 March 1963 in Jakarta calling for the draft codification of national criminal law to be resolved as soon as possible (Saleh 1980). Then in 1964 the draft Criminal Code was first issued and continued until 2012. Thus it can be concluded that the universal/global/comprehensive criminal law reform effort is still a rechtside (legal idea) or ius constituendum, because it has not been ratified into a law (ius constitutum). This penal reform effort in its entirety can be considered as an implementation of the mandate of the founding fathers implicitly contained in Article II of the Transitional Rules.2 If so, then the implementation of the ideals of the founding fathers of this nation could only begin after 19 years of independent Indonesia. It is understandable that the effort to compile the Criminal Code can only begin in 1964 because during the period of 19 years (1945-1964), Indonesia's political and state conditions were not stable. The draft of the 1964 Criminal Code was then followed by the following year's designs, namely the Draft Criminal Code 1968, Draft Criminal Code 1971/1972, Draft Basaroedin Criminal Code (BAS Concept) 1977, Draft Penal Code 1979, Draft Criminal Code 1982/1983, Draft Criminal Code 1984/1985, Draft KUHP 1986/1987, KUHP Draft 1987/1988, Draft KUHP 1989/1990, Draft KUHP 1991/1992 revised until 1997/1998, and Draft 1 This also emphasized that the government seriously formed a team to draft a new Criminal Code Bill since 1981/1982 (35 years after independence).
