The Criminal Code Act 2023, also known as the 2023 Indonesian Criminal Code, is the new criminal code in Indonesia, replacing the Dutch-era code. This law is the most comprehensive and time-consuming legislation ever crafted in Indonesia, having taken over 50 years to develop since its initial formulation.
The law, however, will take effect on 2 January 2026, three years after its enactment.
