The establishment of an extradition treaty between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and other countries is a strategic effort in order to increase cooperation in the field of law enforcement and the implementation of justice. With the formation of the extradition treaty, the perpetrators of crimes that are being sought and fleeing the country cannot escape easily from lawsuits. Although the extradition issue is basically seen as part of international law, the discussion cannot be emphasized only in terms of international law. Many things are not further regulated in extradition agreements, especially if the problem is a domestic problem of each country. This article discusses Law Enforcement Against Transnational Criminals through Extradition Agreements. This research is normative juridical and prescriptive. The results of the study conclude that Law Enforcement Against Transnational Crime Actors under the provisions of the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) is not fully implemented in the Indonesian legal system. Based on data until the 2017 period, it can be concluded that the implementation of extradition in Indonesia based on the provisions of UNTOC is still not fully implemented.
