Article 170 of the Criminal Code, Assault, Constitutional Court Decision No. 16/PUU-XXIII/2025Abstract
Article 170 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) regulates the crime of ganging up on a group of people. In Decision No. 16/PUU-XXIII/2025, the Constitutional Court (MK) tested the constitutionality of this article because it was considered to contain ambiguity in the element "jointly". The Constitutional Court considered that this phrase had the potential to create legal uncertainty in its application in criminal justice. Therefore, the Constitutional Court decided to interpret this element more specifically in order to guarantee the principles of legal certainty and justice. This new interpretation aims to ensure that the implementation of Article 170 of the Criminal Code does not deviate from the principle of legality and does not harm individual rights. This analysis aims to examine the impact of the Constitutional Court's decision on the application of Article 170 of the Criminal Code in criminal justice practices in Indonesia, especially in terms of evidence and sentencing of perpetrators accused of committing ganging up on a group of people.
