The reconstruction of rehabilitation for addictives and drug abuses in human rights perspective

Abstract

Efforts to prevent, protect and save the Indonesian people from the abuse of Narcotics as intended by The Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics are carried out through rehabilitation. The rehabilitation can release users from dependence and reduce the danger of disease for addicts and victims of abuse. The existence of rehabilitation is essentially the protection of human life and basic rights to health. It is in accordance with human values ??and legal objectives, namely to provide justice, benefit and legal certainty. These values ??are the basis for consideration that rehabilitation needs to be mandatory for addicts and victims of narcotics abusers. The overcoming narcotics crime by imposing imprisonment on addicts and victims of narcotics abuse certainly cannot break the chain of narcotics abuse. However, in practice, not all addicts and victims of narcotics abusers receive rehabilitation sanctions. The majority of the demands of the public prosecutor against the defendant are imprisonment, and only a few are demanding the imposition of rehabilitation, as well as the judge's decision. This is the evidence that the public prosecutor rarely demands rehabilitation for narcotics defendants. The existence of legal counsel and expert testimony is seen significant in influencing the judge to give a rehabilitation decision. This study will discuss on: 1) Analysis of judge's decisions for addicts and victims of narcotics abusers and 2) Reconstruction of rehabilitation arrangements in the narcotics law in the future. This research is normative juridical research examining various regulations regarding rehabilitation for addicts and victims of narcotics abusers as well as court decisions related to this problem. The legal materials used are analyzed qualitatively and presented in an analytical descriptive manner.
