Sexual violence is a crime against humanity. Because, it is, closely related to human rights Cases of sexual violence caused the government to issue the idea of castration for perpetrators of sexual violence. However, this raises pros and cons in the community. The problem of this research is, how is the imposition of castration sanctions on pedophiles from a human rights perspective, and what are the supporting and inhibiting factors for implementing castration sanctions against pedophiles? The study uses a normative juridical and empirical juridical approach carried out on theoretical matters of legal principles. In contrast, the empirical approach is carried out to study the law in reality through behavioural assessments. The study results stated that the perspective of imposing castration sanctions on pedophile perpetrators also reaped the pros and cons in its implementation. Some thought that castration sanctions were quite effective if applied to perpetrators of sexual crimes to immediately provide a deterrent effect on perpetrators and break the chain of sexual crimes that developed in the community. Opinions against the castration sanction are also criticised by various groups, including human rights activists, because castration is considered a cruel punishment for perpetrators, and cruel punishments aim to torture the perpetrators of the crime, but this is undoubtedly related to human rights. Supporting and inhibiting factors for the implementation of castration sanctions against pedophile perpetrators. Supporting factors for the discourse of castration sanctions on perpetrators of sexual crimes against children are caused by the high number of sexual crimes in Indonesia, which has entered a dangerous stage. It was passed into Law Number 17 of 2016. The inhibiting factor is that castration sanctions are not allowed in the national criminal law system. The purpose of punishment, castration is a violation of human rights, seen from the facilities or facilities. Furthermore, there are obstacles from the executor of the castration crime, namely doctors, because it contradicts the code of ethics (KODEKI). Suggestions in this study should be in imposing criminal acts of sexual violence against children to pay attention to humane punishments without degrading and provide benefits, namely a deterrent effect.

So that the government established the Law Number 17 of 2016 concerning the Establishment of the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2016 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection into Law. In the laws and regulations, it has been regulated regarding the castration penalty of chemistry. Indonesia is a country that still upholds all human rights possessed by every community in Indonesia without discrimination. This chemical castration execution raises the pros and cons in people's lives. So this chemical castration is considered to have violated the Human Rights of perpetrators of sexual violence against children. This research wants to dig deeper about the use of chemical castration punishment in perpetrators of recurrent crimes in the human rights perspective. This study uses normative research methods with conceptual and legislative approaches. Chemical castration has not been one of the effective penalties and provides a deterrent for perpetrators of sexual violence, so the laws governing chemical castration punishment need to be reviewed.Anak masih menjadi korban kekerasan seksual yang dilakukan oleh para pelaku yang lebih kuat dari korban. Anak yang menjadi korban kekerasan seksual mendapatkan dampak yang negatif terhadap psikis dan batinnya, sehingga anak akan memiliki trauma yang susah untuk dihilangkan atau bahkan trauma tersebut berkepanjangan. Sehingga pemerintah membentuk peraturan Undang-Undang Nomor 17 tahun 2016 tentang Penetapan Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang Nomor 1 tahun 2016 tentang Perubahan Kedua atas Undang-undang Nomor 23 tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak menjadi Undang-Undang. Didalam peraturan perundang-undangan tersebut, telah diatur tentang hukuman kebiri kimia. Indonesia adalah negara yang masih menjunjung setiap Hak Asasi Manusia yang dimiliki oleh setiap masyarakat di Indonesia tanpa adanya diskriminasi. Eksekusi kebiri kimia ini menimbulkan pro dan kontra didalam kehidupan masyarakat. Sehingga kebiri kimia ini dianggap telah melanggar Hak Asasi Manusia dari pelaku kekerasan seksual terhadap anak. Penelitian ini ingin menggali lebih dalam tentang penggunaan hukuman kebiri kimia pada pelaku kejahatan berulang dalam persektif hak asasi manusia.

The debate about the pros and cons of supporting, protecting, and recognizing LGBT rights has existed since the early 19th century. In 2011, the United Nations declared a human rights resolution dedicated to sexual orientation and gender identity. The United Nations statement reaps many pros and cons from the countries that are members of it. Indonesia is one of those who disagree with this. In everyday life, LGBT people in Indonesia often face discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence even though law in Indonesia does not criminalize LGBT. The lives of LGBT who hold prisoner status are made more difficult because they often face discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence, both from other inmates and prison officials, but there is no positive law that supports the protection of LGBT. Therefore, this study aims to understand the form of legal protection for LGBT prisoners. The research method used is normative juridical research with a conceptual approach. The characteristic of human rights is universal and automatically attached to an individual because the individual is a human being. Human rights create an obligation for other individuals not to violate the rights of others and the obligation of the government to protect these rights. Indonesia is a rule of law. Through the concept of human rights and the rule of law, LGBT prisoners actually still have to be given legal protection against acts of discrimination committed by heterosexual prisoners and the need for law enforcement for acts of sexual violence. The government can actually apply several United Nations principles in the “Born Free and Equal” campaign to provide legal protection for LGBT prisoners who experienced discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence.NaskahPerdebatan mengenai pro dan kontra dalam mendukung, melindungi, dan mengakui hak LGBT sudah ada sejak awal ke-19. Pada 2011, PBB menyatakan resolusi hak asasi manusia yang didedikasikan untuk orientasi seksual dan identitas gender. Pernyataan PBB menuai banyak pro dan kontra dari negara-negara yang tergabung di dalamnya. Indonesia adalah salah satu yang tidak sependapat dengan hal tersebut. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, kaum LGBT di Indonesia kerap mendapat diskriminasi, pelecehan, dan kekerasan seksual meski hukum di Indonesia tidak mengkriminalisasi LGBT. Kehidupan kaum LGBT yang menyandang status narapidana menjadi lebih berat karena sering mendapatkan diskriminasi, pelecehan, dan kekerasan seksual, baik dari narapidana lain maupun petugas lembaga pemasyarakatan, tetapi tidak ada hukum positif yang mendukung perlindungan kaum LGBT. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini ditujukan untuk memahami bentuk perlindungan hukum bagi narapidana kaum LGBT. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual. Hak asasi manusia adalah hak yang bersifat universal dan melekat secara otomatis kepada seseorang individu karena individu tersebut adalah manusia. Hak asasi manusia menimbulkan kewajiban bagi individu lain untuk tidak melanggar hak orang lain dan kewajiban pemerintah serta negara untuk melindungi hak-hak tersebut. Indonesia merupakan negara hukum. Melalui konsep hak asasi manusia dan negara hukum, maka narapidana kaum LGBT sebenarnya tetap harus diberi perlindungan hukum terhadap tindakan diskriminasi yang dilakukan oleh narapidana heteroseksual dan perlunya penegakan hukum atas tindak kekerasan seksual. Pemerintah sebenarnya dapat menerapkan beberapa prinsip PBB dalam kampanye “Born Free and Equal” untuk melakukan perlindungan hukum bagi narapidana kaum LGBT yang mengalami diskriminasi, pelecehan, dan kekerasan seksual.

AbstractGood governance is a concept for governance that should be run. Theoretically, the discourse of good governance reaps its pros and cons since it had been firstly introduced. However, as a concept and a strategic offer it deserves to be appreciated and re-examined. There are principles in good governance that are compatible with Islam such as accountability, transparency, deliberation, and others. Good governance will be achieved when it involves a good communication among the government, civil society, and the business sector. The author uses the perspective of contemporary maqaasid asy-shari'ah to view the discourse with more emphasis on development and right. The perspective is different from the old maqasid which emphasizes more on the protection and preservation. The result of the study shows that good governace needs  harmonious relationship among the followers of religion, social justice, organized and equitable education, human rights protection, and the development of civilized law.Keywords : Good Governance, Maqâsid asy-Syaari’ah, DevelopmentAbstrakGood governance merupakan sebuah konsep tata kelola pemerintahan yang seharusnya dijalankan. Secara teoritis, diskursus good governace menuai pro-kontra sejak awal kemunculannya. Meskipun demikian, sebagai sebuah konsep dan tawaran strategis patut untuk diapresiasi dan dikaji kembali. Terdapat prinsip-prinsip dalam good governance yang berkesesuaian dengan Islam diantaranya akuntabilitas, transparansi, musyawarah, dan lainnya. Upaya mewujudkannya tidak hanya dilakukan oleh satu pihak saja, tetapi komunikasi antara pemerintah (goverment), masyarakat sipil, dan sektor dunia usaha. Dalam melihat diskursus ini, penulis menggunakan perspektif maqaasid asy-Syaari’ah kontemporer dengan lebih menekankan pada development (pembangunan; pengembangan) dan right (hak-hak). Berbeda dengan maqasid lama lebih pada protection (perlindungan) dan preservation (penjagaan; pelestarian). Berdasarkan hasil kajian tersebut bahwa dalam mewujudkan good governace diperlukan pembangunan dalam berbagai aspek seperti membangun hubungan harmonis antar pemeluk agama, mewujudkan keadilan sosial, penyelenggaran dan pemerataan pendidikan, perlindungan terhadap hak asasi manusia, pembangunan hukum berkeadaban..

The rise of sexual violence against women and children encourages the government to establish Government Regulation (Peraturan Pemerintah) hereafter (PP) number 70 of 2020, which contains the application of the chemical castration penalty for the offenders of sexual violence. This regulation causes pros and cons from the various parties, including women and children's observer community, selected in this case Konde.co. This study aims to discuss the attitude or position built by Konde.co toward the Government Regulation (PP) ratification concerning the chemical castration penalty for the sexual violence offenders. This research uses a qualitative approach, especially discourse analysis. The discourse analysis in this research uses the appraisal theory, which studies the attitudesystem explicitly The result of this research shows that the attitude that appears in the text is generally negative. Furthermore, the attitude aspect with the highest frequency is negative judgement.The negative attitude refers to the incompatibility and inability of the chemical castration penalty in overcoming the sexual violence problem in Indonesia. The chemical castration penalty has negative impacts, such as exacerbating sexual violence in Indonesia in the future, disturbing, like an inclement regulation, and violating human rights. The positive attitude refers to the PP’s capacity for the chemical castration penalty of the sexual violence offenders in upholding the rights of the underprivileged. Other priorities that Konde.co considers more critical in overcoming the sexual violence problem are the recovery of the victims and the immediate ratification of the Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence.

The government needs to re-examine the provision of additional punishment that is considered a violation of human rights violated human rights and not in accordance with Islamic Shari'a. The results of the study show that (1) the punishment of the noble violates the Shari'a of Islam so it is forbidden with three reasons: a) Islamic shari'ah has unlawfully prohibited the human being, without any dissenting opinion (khilafiyah) among fuqaha, b) Islamic shariah has set penalties for pedophile who commit acts of immorality and rape according to the details of the facts of his deeds, so that it may not (haram) carry out any kind of punishment outside the provisions of Islamic Sharia, c) in the case of the method of using a chemical injection method, namely injected estrogen hormone, from the other side, because it resulted in castrated men having physical characteristics such as women. Yet Islam has forbidden men to resemble women or vice versa women resemble men.

Law No. 23 of 2002, Law no. 35 of 2014 until the issuance of Law no. 1 Year 2016 on Child Protection
