The Urgency of The Death Penalty for Narcotics Crime Perspectives in A Human Rights Perspective

Cornelius Wisnu Adji Pamungkas

Abstract


Narcotics can become an obstacle to national development in material and spiritual aspects. The danger of using narcotics has a very large impact on the country. If there is widespread use of narcotics in society, Indonesia will become a sick nation. If this happens, the country will become fragile from within because national resilience is declining. This journal addresses two major issues: the urgency of the death penalty for narcotics crime perpetrators, and the legal and human rights relevance of the death penalty for narcotics crime perpetrators. This research is included in the category of normative legal research using statutory approaches, conceptual approaches, and case approaches. The urgency of the death penalty for perpetrators of narcotic crimes is because this crime creates massive victims, requires large funds for recovery and law enforcement, damages the younger generation, and weakens the foundations of social and state life. From a legal perspective, death penalty sanctions have been regulated and recognized for their existence both in the Criminal Code and in laws outside the Criminal Code.
