The Criminal Code (KUHP) which currently applies does not recognize corporations as the subject of criminal acts. Therefore, the formulation/legislation policy concerning corporate criminal liability system in Indonesia is only regulated in various specific criminal laws (lex specialis). This research discusses the formulation/legislation policy regarding the corporate criminal liability system in 124 special criminal legislations outside the Criminal Code (KUHP) from 1950-2017. This research used a normative juridical research method as well as interpretation method with a policy-oriented approach. Types and sources of data used were secondary data in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The collected data were then analyzed based on qualitative analysis method. The results of the research showed that the corporate criminal liability system in legal politics in Indonesia (especially in the formulation/legislation policy) still experiences disorientation and disharmonious. Besides, the national law development should follow every development and/or change of society that is developing in the direction of modernization and globalization and should be able to accommodate all society�s needs in various fields. This legal development should be continuously carried out (as a dynamic and an endless process) by "improving (making things better)" and "changing the law to be better and modern".Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) yang saat ini berlaku tidak mengakui korporasi sebagai subjek tindak pidana.Oleh karenanya, kebijakan formulasi/legislasi mengenai sistem pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi di Indonesia hanya diatur dalam berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan pidana yang bersifat khusus (lex specialis). Penelitian ini akan membahas mengenai kebijakan formulasi/legislasi mengenai sistem pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi dalam 124 (seratus dua puluh empat) peraturan perundang-undangan pidana khusus di luar Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) dari tahun 1950-2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dan metode interpretasi dengan pendekatan yang berorientasi pada kebijakan (policy oriented approach). Jenis dan sumber data yang dipergunakan adalah data sekunder yang berupa bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder dan bahan hukum tertier. Data yang telah terkumpul akan dianalisis berdasarkan metode analisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sistem pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi dalam politik hukum di Indonesia (khususnya pada kebijakan formulasi/legislasi) masih mengalami disorientasi dan disharmoni. Selain itu, pembangunan hukum nasional harus mengikuti setiap perkembangan dan/atau perubahan masyarakat yang sedang berkembang ke arah modernisasi dan globalisasi serta mampu menampung semua kebutuhan masyarakat di berbagai bidang. Pembangunan hukum seperti ini harus terus-menerus dilakukan (sebagai proses yang dinamis dan proses yang tidak pernah berakhir) dengan cara �menyempurnakan (membuat sesuatu yang lebih baik)� dan �mengubah agar hukum menjadi lebih baik dan modern�.

Considerable efforts have been made to fight corruption, however it continues to occur in Indonesia. In the present time, corruptions do not only carry out by individuals but also by corporations. However, the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code do not recognize and regulate corporations as the subject of criminal acts, so that law enforcement officials, especially prosecutors, have difficulty in charging corporations. This paper tries to answer question about the role of prosecutors in the eradication of corruption by corporation based on The General Attorney Regulation Number: PER-028/A/JA/10/2014 on guidelines for prosecuting corporation. The research method employed is normative juridical method, where the data is analyzed with qualitative methodology. The General Attorney Regulation on Corporate Legal Subjects explains more apparent criteria for actions that can be attributed to the corporation. The regulation combines several theories of corporate criminal liability not only heavily rely on vicarious criminal liability theory. It also provides direction about the separation of corporate liability and director’s liability. With this guideline, the public prosecutors have clearer direction to be able to charge the corporation so that it can restore the state finances that have been harmed by the corruption act.

ZusammenfassungEine Kriminalisierung kollektiver Akteure ist für das Strafrechtsverständnis in deutschsprachigen Ländern immer noch ein ungewöhnliches Instrument. Dennoch gibt es mittlerweile eine supranationale Verpflichtung der Mitgliedsstaaten der Europäischen Union, juristische Personen unter Androhung punitiver Sanktionen für bestimmte Straftaten verantwortlich machen zu können. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht die Entstehungsgeschichte des öster­reichischen Unternehmensstrafrechts mit Hilfe eines heuristischen Rahmens, der von der Feld- und Habitustheorie Bourdieus inspiriert ist, sich aber auch diskurs- und systemtheoretischen Einsichten verdankt. Er versteht sich damit als Beitrag zu einem wenig erschlossenen Gebiet der sozialwissenschaftlichen Rechtsforschung nämlich der Normgenese im Be­reich des Wirtschaftsstrafrechts.

The jurisprudential foundations of the Criminal Liability of Corporations were laid down much lately in countries like France and India as compared to USA and United Kingdom. This article is a modest attempt on the part of the authors to revisit the subject matter of corporate criminal liability which is often dealt within legal literature as just another offence under the Indian Criminal Justice System. It thoroughly tracks the legislative developments since the origination of the concept in the Romanic Law in 12th-14th century till date, along with the provisions laid down and emergence of the concept in different part of the world. Judicial moods in interpretations to provisions pertaining to corporate criminal liability have been unearthed to show a conservative judiciary giving way to a liberal one, loosening the shackles of power. Laws on the corporate criminal liability need major changes- from amendments in laws to changes in judicial interpretations to changes in victim treatment and approach. This paper attempts to expound the complete subject matter in a thought-through manner to reawaken thinking of an improvised and transformed system of law. A steep rise in the number of crimes committed by the corporations clearly reveals a prima facie malfunctioning of corporate governance which, in return, calls for a much more efficient enforcement of law.

Sebagai subjek hukum, korporasi juga ditentukan mekanisme pemidanaannya mulai dari proses penyidikan, penuntutan, dan pemeriksaan di sidang pengadilan.

Pokok sengketa yang menjadi perdebatan dan tafsir dalam gugatannya adalah pengertian tanah telantar dan mengenai surat peringatan sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 8 Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 11 Tahun 2010 tentang Penertiban dan Pendayagunaan Tanah Telantar serta implikasi pasca pembatalan surat keputusan penetapan tanah telantar oleh pengadilan tata usaha negara. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimanakah penafsiran pengertian tanah telantar dan penafsiran mengenai surat peringatan dalam Putusan Nomor 24/G/2013/PTUN.JKT, serta apa implikasi pembatalan surat keputusan penetapan tanah telantar pasca Putusan Nomor 24/G/2013/PTUN.JKT? Melalui metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus dapat disimpulkan bahwa adanya perbedaan penafsiran mengenai pengertian tanah telantar terkait dengan frase “dengan sengaja” dan “tidak sengaja,” majelis hakim berpendapat bahwa hambatan pemanfaatan tanah karena menunggu proses permohonan pelepasan kawasan hutan dan permasalahan tata ruang serta kendala terhadap pembebasan lahan dan proses ganti rugi disimpulkan sebagai unsur ketidaksengajaan.

The subject of the dispute debated in the interpretation of the lawsuit is the definition of derelict land and warning letters, as regulated in Article 8 of Government Regulation Number 11 of 2010 regarding Policies and Utilization of Derelict Land and the implications of post-revocation of derelict land stipulated decree by the Administrative Court. The formulation of the problem in this research is the interpretation of derelict land definition and warning letters in the Administrative Court Decision Number 24/G/2013/PTUN.JKT, as well as the implication of revocation of derelict land settlement agreement after the court decision issuance. Through normative legal research method with case study approach, it can be underlined that there is difference in interpretation of the definition of derelict land related to the phrase “intentionally” and “unintentionally”, in which the judges argue that barriers to land utility are the still-in-process request of forest areas acquisition, spatial problems and constraints to land acquisition, as well as the compensation process concluded as an element of inadvertence. The revocation of the settlement agreement makes it impossible to use the derelict land for benefit of the people and the state.Keywords: determination decree, derelict land, court decision.
