The current condition of the Covid-19 pandemic is a time where almost everyone feels social and economic difficulties. Communities whose regions apply restrictions/quarantines are highly dependent on assistance from the government. This paper is a study and analysis of one question how the death penalty can be applied to perpetrators of corruption during the Covid-19 outbreak or pandemic. In the criminal law that applies in Indonesia, the death penalty for perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption is contained in Article 2 paragraph 2 of Law no. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes. Meanwhile, in Islamic law, corruption is categorized as jarimah ta'zir. The results of this study conclude that during a pandemic, the death penalty can be applied to corruptors in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the Anti-Corruption Law and the provisions of Islamic criminal law as jarimah ta'zir. There are fundamental differences in the application of the death penalty for corruptors according to positive law and Islamic criminal law, especially with regard to the conditions required for the imposition of the death penalty. Even though this seems cruel according to human rights supporters, this needs to be a concern for all law enforcers so that they can carry out strict law enforcement against perpetrators of corruption crimes during the pandemic.

H. Patrick Glenn (1940–2014), Professor of Law and former Director of the Institute of Comparative Law at McGill University, was a key figure in the global discourse on comparative law. This collection is intended to honor Professor Glenn's intellectual legacy by engaging critically with his ideas, especially focusing on his visions of a 'cosmopolitan state' and of law conceptualized as 'tradition'. The book explores the intellectual history of comparative law as a discipline, its attempts to push the objects of its study beyond the positive law of the nation-state, and both its potential and the challenges it must confront in the face of the complex phenomena of globalization and the internationalization of law. An international group of leading scholars in comparative law, legal philosophy, legal sociology, and legal history takes stock of the field of comparative law and where it is headed.

Life imprisonment is the term for a prison sentence based on which a convicted person remains in prison for their whole life. After the death penalty, it is the severest criminal sanction. Many countries have introduced it in their legislation as a substitute for the death penalty. On the other hand, many legislations have, along with the long-term sentence, introduced the possibility of the convicts’ release, most often conditional release. From the second half of the 20th century onwards, life imprisonment as well as the death penalty has most often been regarded an inhumane and inefficient sanction, given that people sentenced to life imprisonment are considered permanently excluded from society, that is, losing any kind of interest in rehabilitation. This paper analyses the issues related to long-term sentences - life imprisonment in the countries of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) and in the contemporary European criminal law.

Death penalty is regulated in positive law of Indonesia, both governed in Civil Code and outside Code of Criminal Law, such in the Terrorism Law, Narcotics Law, and Corruption Crime Act Eradication Law. This indicates that death penalty is viewed as relevant in line with the crime dynamics growing in the community. Debates regarding death penalty among the pros and cons still take place in Indonesia so it raises a question among the people, how the existence of death penalty is seen of the viewpoints of Pancasila and Human Rights? Indeed, Pancasila contains balance value between one principle to another. If the Pancasila is seen partialy, then the answer arises on the question is the death penalty is contradictory to the Pancasila and Human Rights, however some answer also indicate it is not contracdictory to the Pancasila and Human Rights. National Draft Code of Criminal Law consistently retains the death penalty. However, in it‟s formulation policy remains considering the individual protection, namely enactment on provisions regarding “the suspension of death penalty execution” or “conditional death penalty, “if in the probation period (10 years) the convicted criminal does not show a good conduct, then the death penalty may be changed to life time imprisonment or 20 years imprisonment. The basic idea of maintaining the death penalty is to avoid people‟s demand/reaction which is revenge in nature or “extralegal execution” in nature.   Kata Kunci: Pidana mati
