KOMPENSASI DAN RESTITUSI SEBAGAI BENTUK PERLINDUNGAN NEGARA TERHADAP PEMENUHAN HAK KORBAN TINDAK PIDANA TERORISME

Abstract

The crime of terrorism is an extraordinary offense that significantly impacts victims physically, psychologically, and economically. Although regulations such as Law No. 5 of 2018 provide for compensation and restitution, implementation faces obstacles due to complex bureaucracy, the inability to prosecute offenders, and the lack of a holistic support system. This normative legal research highlights weaknesses in the legal framework for victim support, with a primary focus on repressive measures against offenders. As a result, compensation, rehabilitation, and restitution for victims remain suboptimal. Budget constraints, low legal awareness, and poor inter-agency coordination further hinder the realization of victims’ rights. Victim recovery is often temporary and limited. To ensure fair and comprehensive victim protection, more effective mechanisms are required, including simplified bureaucracy, strengthened coordination among institutions such as LPSK and BNPT, and broader public education on victims’ rights. These steps are essential to ensure optimal recovery for victims of terrorism in Indonesia.
