The Criminal Code Act 2023, or the 2023 Indonesian Criminal Code, is the new Indonesian criminal code replacing the Dutch-era code. The law is the most expensive and longest ever made in Indonesia, as it has been more than 50 years in the making since its first formulation.[1]
The law, however, will be effectively used on 2 January 2026, 3 years after its commencement.[2]
