Sistem Hukum Indonesia INTRODUCTION Every citizen holds an equal standing before the law, a principle explicitly enshrined in Article 27. Paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution. 1 This provision signifies that each individual is entitled to equal opportunities, positions, and protection under the law, without any form of discrimination or exception under any circumstance. The intention behind this constitutional affirmation is to ensure uniformity in the legal treatment of all citizens, regardless of any distinguishing This commitment to equality is notably crucial when someone is suspected of committing a crime, reflecting the State's dedication to upholding the principle of presumption of innocence. The protection of this presumption is integral to the broader framework of safeguarding and recognizing human rights, specifically an individual's right to freedom, a guarantee provided by the State. The Indonesian government underscores its commitment to the consistent implementation of these principles in Article 1. Paragraph 2 of the 1945 Constitution. This Article 27 paragraph . of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945. 118 | Miranda Rule Advocacy for Impoverished Defendants in Indonesian Criminal Cases provision explicitly declares the State's responsibility to afford protection and recognition of human rights to its citizens. Such constitutional provisions align with the overarching principle of Equality before the law, reaffirmed in Article 27. Paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution. In essence, these constitutional tenets collectively emphasize the State's commitment to impartiality, fairness, and the protection of fundamental human rights for every citizen within its The principle of Equality Before the Law serves as a fundamental tenet, ensuring that every individual, including those in indigent circumstances entangled in legal cases, has the right to be treated equitably in the eyes of the law. This commitment is explicitly detailed in the Republic of Indonesia's foundational constitution under Article 34. Paragraph 1, which stipulates the State's obligation to care for the welfare of the poor and abandoned children. The expansive language employed in this constitutional provision encompasses various meanings, notably emphasizing the need for indigent individuals to receive equal legal access compared to others. This underlines a broader objective within the legal framework, aligning with the concept of access to justice, elucidated in Article 28. Article 1.

The legal state framework, as guided by the legal thinking of the Indonesian State, positions the law as the primary reference and foundation for all legal actions. Consequently, the entire constitutional administration system must adhere to the principles and provisions of the constitution, maintaining a steadfast commitment to correctness within the legal scope. This underscores the critical importance of aligning all legal processes with the constitutional framework to uphold the principles of justice and equality before the law. Aligned with the commitment to the principle of Equality Before the Law. Indonesian criminal procedural law further acknowledges the significance of the Miranda rule, a pivotal component in advocating for the rights of suspects in criminal cases. The Miranda rule affords individuals, including those facing indigent circumstances, the opportunity to assert their rights under the protective umbrella of the Emphasizing the core tenets of the Miranda rule, suspects are explicitly granted the right to remain silent, abstain from answering questions, and have legal representation. This legal safeguard reinforces the broader framework of equal legal access for all individuals, ensuring that suspects are treated fairly and afforded the protection of their rights throughout legal proceedings.

First, the Miranda rule's principle that suspects are entitled to legal assistance, is referred to in article 54, article 55, and article 114 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Second, if the arrested are classified as persons who are unable to obtain personal legal assistance, the State is responsible for appointing legal counsel for the suspects, contained in article 56 paragraph 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Practice in the trial shows that suspects are allowed to use the services of advocates totaling 1 or more people and may use community advocates to defend their position before the court, but if the circumstances contained in the suspect do not allow the suspect to obtain legal assistance from an advocate personally, they can ask for legal assistance from an advocate who is then appointed by the nagara as a case assistance the law that fell on him.

The approach using a legal science approach is carried out by analyzing legal issues normatively which originates in in-depth analysis using scientific library sources and legal documents relevant to the research being studied today using a legal approach.

MIRANDA RULE'S PRINCIPLES & THEIR IMPLICATIONS ON CRIMINAL PROCEDURAL LAW IN INDONESIA: A STUDY ON PROVIDING LEGAL ASSISTANCE The genesis of the Miranda rule traces back to a historical episode marked by legal shortcomings in the United States, specifically in Arizona. Named after the suspect Ernesto Miranda, the rule emerged from a case where Miranda was accused by local investigators of kidnapping and rape. During the investigation and interrogation. Miranda was deprived of the right to legal counsel and was coerced into signing a confession letter, admitting guilt to the alleged crime. Subsequently. Miranda's conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court, underscoring the insufficiency of evidence. This incident served as a pivotal moment, prompting a reevaluation of the rights afforded to See Johnson. Herbert A. , and Nancy Travis Wolfe.

It highlights a critical juncture where the rights of individuals accused of a crime were compromised, prompting a reexamination of the legal safeguards that must be unequivocally upheld by the law. The Miranda rule, borne out of this historical anomaly, stands as a testament to the imperative of protecting the rights of suspects and ensuring a fair and just legal process. Learning from the case of Ernesto Miranda which later gave birth to updated rules related to the protection of the rights of a suspected criminal offender. The supreme court's ruling in Miranda's case was a turning point in a series of legal rules that gradually advanced the equality of rights of suspects. The emphasis in Miranda's case is that indigent persons are allowed and even provided with legal counsel facilitated by the State. Basically, the Miranda rule itself departs from human rights agreed by the international world that human rights must be upheld, respected. One of them is to get clear information from the authorities, the right not to answer investigators' questions, and the right to be accompanied by legal representatives. Miranda rule's own contains the rights of a suspect before an examination by the State investigating officer, these rights include: A person has the right to silence because everything that is said or said by a suspect in the investigation process carried out by the investigating officer has the potential to be used as a ballast tool in court.

In the event of a person's inability to obtain/obtain/contact their respective legal counsel individually or personally, the State shall be obliged to appoint an advocate or legal counsel provided free of charge to the party in question15. In terms of Miranda rule's, there is also a Miranda warning or also called miranda's warning which contains a warning regarding the rights of Miranda a suspect.

This is also in accordance with article 27 paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution which states that every citizen and his position in law and government and is obliged to uphold the law itself without The same thing is also supported by article 34 paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution which contains the meaning of the phrase that every poor and abandoned child is taken care of by the State. In this case, it also applies to indigent people who are suspected of committing a certain criminal act where legal protection, protection of individual rights, and provision of legal counsel services have been guaranteed. Miranda rule's which was later ratified by the laws and regulations of the State of Indonesia was then reborn in the form of article by article in the Indonesian criminal procedure code. The criminal procedure code specifically provides protection for suspects suspected of committing a specific crime in order to avoid arbitrary treatment potentially experienced by suspects/defendants during the investigation process carried out by government officials. The authority of counsel in the scope of defending the rights of suspects is needed to at least give a sweat to the fall of the verdict which is feared to be aggravating or from false charges or from other errors due to the generality of the suspects to the legal case itself. The thing that needs to be considered is that the rights of suspects are less understandable for ordinary people who are not familiar with the rule of law regarding the legal case being In practice, the community or people who are suspected of being certain in a criminal case need an expert who understands legal issues so that the information is reliable, reliable, acceptable and the person whose signature and seal can provide guarantees or can be used as a strong evidence so that legal aid assistance carried out is not in vain and at least can relieve the sentence. As meant in Miranda rule's in the matter of legal counsel, that is meant by a person who provides legal assistance 126 | Miranda Rule Advocacy for Impoverished Defendants in Indonesian Criminal Cases or a person appointed as legal counsel is an advocate who stands up to defend the rights of his clients. Miranda's rights, which were later ratified into Indonesian law, are closely related to the law enforcement process that occurs in Indonesia, including playing a role in guaranteeing the rights of people who need attention and so as not to be neglected in order to uphold the legal principle of presumption of innocence. Article 54 of the Criminal Code says that in the interest of defense, a suspect / defendant has the right to obtain legal assistance from someone who is able to fight for his rights or more precisely is a legal adviser / advocate during vulnerable time and at any time of examination according to the procedures regulated in applicable law. The existence of Miranda rule's as a race for Indonesian criminal procedural law in modifying the applicable legal rules in Indonesia has a quite impulsive impact which then affects the fulfillment of legal protection and the rights of suspects or defendants in fighting for their rights as individuals and private citizens whose rights are protected by patent law. The existence of Miranda rule's as a reference in treating people involved in the suspicion of a certain criminal act is considered important for the benefit of humans as individuals who are free from the fault or negligence of law enforcers. IV. THE ROLE OF LEGAL AID INSTITUTIONS IN ASSISTING CRIMINAL CASES FOR INDIGENT PERSONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW NO. 16 OF 2011 AND MIRANDA RULE'S PRINCIPLES The provision of legal assistance to suspects or defendants of a criminal act is the rights of suspects and defendants regulated in the Indonesian Criminal Code which is one form of implementation in applying the 127 | THE DIGEST: JOURNAL OF JURISPRUDENCE & LEGISPRUDENCE principles of Miranda rules. This is done and guaranteed its existence for the sake of creating non-arbitrary legal practices carried out by the legal practitioners themselves. Suspect itself is defined as someone who is suspected or suspected of committing a criminal act due to a condition or action so that the person is in a state of suspicion or suspicion. In the case of prejudice, there is also a presumption of innocence or presumption of innocence. Legal assistance or the provision of legal assistance in his position is authorized to side with the suspect to at least reduce the sentence or suspicion imposed on the person concerned. The ratification of the Miranda rule's into Indonesian criminal procedure law affects the legal system and the treatment itself. Unlike when the rules applied are HIR regulations, where the suspect is only considered a subject whose position is very underestimated and At that time, the suspect was not considered a legal subject who had rights and authority before the law, this suspect was only considered as an object or supporting object before the law at the position of the case 17 . Against the background of things that are considered to violate the principles of the State of law which as has been repeatedly said that the existence of individuals as citizens is guaranteed and protected and upheld by the 1945 Constitution of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, the Criminal Code was born as a legal reform of HIR in the hope of creating a transition of the national legal Legal regulations in Indonesia which are explicitly contained in the 1945 Constitution provide guarantees to Indonesian citizens related to the equality and position of their citizens before the law as stated in article 27 paragraph . of the 1945 Constitution which further explains that every citizen has the same position in law and government without In practice, efforts to realize justice referred to in the scope Subekti.

The same thing agrees with what was expressed by Soerjono Soekanto19 who said that legal aid has a focus on providing facilities or assistance provided by people who master their fields, in this case it is legal science for Indonesian citizens who need to always be able to realize and create their rights and get reasonable legal This guarantee is a constitutional right that has not received more attention, giving birth to rules related to legal aid. Law No. 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid (UUBH) to become a concrete basis for the government to guarantee the rights of its citizens, especially for indigent people involved in criminal cases 20. The Legal Aid Act provides an understanding of legal aid itself. Legal aid is defined as a service within the corridor of legal scope provided by a legal expert on a nonprofitable basis to the poor or poor. While the understanding of an expert is that it is a legal aid institution or it can also be a community organization that has the qualifications to be able to carry out legal defense actions before the court. Legal issues and legal cases are certainly things that grow side by side in state and social life. In this case. Law no. 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid was born to provide defense for the indigent group of people whose rights are guaranteed by the State. The legal aid law itself is based on the Instruction of the Justice of the Republic of Indonesia number 03UM. 02 of 1999 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Legal Aid Programs for Underprivileged Groups of People has its own qualifications related to the characteristics of what is meant by the group of indigent people.

In accordance with the principle of Miranda rule ratified by the State of Indonesia, that suspects or defendants have the right to be defended and assisted in the trial process for the creation of justice22. The purpose of providing legal assistance in accordance with the Miranda rule principle is to achieve law and justice as well as court decisions that are as fair as possible for all parties involved. In the Indonesian legal system itself, the provision of non-profitable legal assistance is known as legai aid. Legal aid itself is explicitly interpreted as a form of defense action against these indigent people, while legal assistance is a term that refers to criminal offenders who are able to hire the services of a legal adviser. The term two is a legal term born from the language of international law, while Indonesia in the Dutch East Indies era had a legal rule called Het herziene inlands reglement (HIR) as a formal legal reference at that In HIR itself, it is also regulated that a legal advisor provides legal assistance to others if a request arises from the accused person. However, the rules in HIR are considered less relevant to the current state and condition of society so they are updated with or the rules Namely with the enactment of Law No. 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHAP), and Law No. 4 of 2004 concerning Judicial Power.
