Abstract

Keberadaan masyarakat hukum adat di Indonesia diakui sepanjang dianggap berkesesuaian dengan prinsip Negara Indonesia sebagaimana Pasal 18B ayat (2) UUD 1945. Eksistensi hukum adat dalam pidana di Indonesia diakui dalam peraturan perundang-undangan maupun dalam praktik namun masih ada beberapa celah hukum yang menyebabkan tumpang tindih wewenang salah satunya adalah wewenang jaksa penuntut umum dalam menuntut perkara yang telah diadili oleh lembaga peradilan adat. Penelitian menggunakan metode pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach), pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach), dan pendekatan kasus (case approach) ini adalah; 1) Keberlakuan kearifan lokal berdasarkan hukum pidana, 2) Hakikat penuntutan dalam kaitannya dengan kearifan lokal. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa hukum adat pada dasarnya merupakan suatu sistem hukum rakyat (folk law) sebagai korelasi dari living law yang tumbuh selaras dengan sistem hukum lain dalam tatanan hukum Indonesia sedangkankearifan lokal menjadi patokan bentuk kebiasaan yang kerap kali digunakan di masyarakat, tidak semua nilai dalam hukum pidana adat juga dapat diterapkan sebagai dasar hukum dalam mengadili perkara adat, konsekuensi adanya eksistensi masyarakat adat dan peradilan adatmenyebabkan jaksa dapat menghentikan penuntutan apabila perkara sudah diadili melalui mekanisme peradilan adat dan melaksanakan sanksi adat.The existence of customary law communities in Indonesia is recognized as long as it is deemed to be in accordance with the principles of the State of Indonesia as referred to in Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The existence of customary law in criminal matters in Indonesia is recognized in statutory regulations as well as in practice, but there are still several legal loopholes that cause overlapping authorities, one of which is the authority of the public prosecutor in prosecuting cases that have been tried by customary courts. Research using the statute approach, conceptual approach, and case approach are; 1) Applicability of local wisdom based on criminal law, 2) The nature of prosecution in relation to local wisdom. This study found that customary law is basically a folk law system as a correlation of living law that grows in harmony with other legal systems in the Indonesian legal order, while local wisdom becomes the benchmark for the form of habits that are often used in society, not all valuesin customary criminal law can also be applied as a legal basis in adjudicating customary cases, the consequence of the existence of indigenous peoples and customary courts is that prosecutors can stop prosecution if the case has been tried through customary justice mechanisms and implement customary sanctions.
