Abstract

Indonesian Attorney General's Regulation Number 15 of 2020 regulates the role and authority of the Public Prosecutor to terminate prosecution based on restorative justice following the Suspect's initiative and a peace agreement between the Suspect and the Victim. However, this can hinder the creation of restorative justice as stipulated in the Regulation, thus rendering the established regulation ineffective because it only awaits an initiative from the Suspect, who may not necessarily be aware of the right to initiate reconciliation with the Victim. The problem identified in this thesis is the authority of the Public Prosecutor in implementing Indonesian Attorney General's Regulation Number 15 of 2020 concerning Termination of Prosecution Based on Restorative Justice, and how restorative justice based on the Suspect's Initiative is implemented. This study utilizes normative and empirical juridical research, secondary and primary data sources, and is analyzed qualitatively.
