Jakarta, March 6, 2025, Mercure Sabang Jakarta — The Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia held a workshop on “Synergy Between the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia and the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia in Preventing Violations of the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Judicial Conduct through Monitoring of Court Proceedings in Cases Involving Women and Children in Conflict with the Law”. This event served as a forum for synergy in preventing violations of the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Judicial Conduct (KEPPH) by monitoring court proceedings in cases involving women and children in conflict with the law, as well as formulating monitoring methods for cases held behind closed doors.
During this event, Gladys Nadya Arianto (IJRS Researcher) had the opportunity to serve as a moderator, facilitating the synergy forum between the Judicial Commission, the Supreme Court, and several relevant ministries/agencies regarding the urgency of monitoring closed court proceedings as a preventive measure. Given that the Judicial Commission has duties and functions in the field of prevention, overseeing court proceedings becomes a crucial aspect of ensuring justice and protection for vulnerable groups such as women and children.
The event featured several distinguished speakers, including:
- Djauhar Setyadi, S.H., M.H. (Supervisory Body of the Supreme Court), who discussed transparency and accountability in closed court proceedings involving women and children in conflict with the law.
- Sukma Violetta, S.H., LL.M. (Judicial Commission Member/Chair of the Division for Prevention and Capacity Building of Judges), who elaborated on the role of the Judicial Commission in preventing violations of the code of ethics and judicial conduct.
- Astriyani, S.H., MPPM. (Coordinator of Judicial Reform Team Office/JRTO), who addressed the synergy between the Supreme Court and the Judicial Commission in preventing violations of the code of ethics and judicial conduct.
Gladys also had the opportunity to present IJRS research findings on monitoring and evaluating policies related to handling cases involving women and children in conflict with the law, particularly the implementation of Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) No. 3 of 2017 and the challenges encountered in court monitoring.
The discussion highlighted various challenges, best practices, and existing modalities in monitoring closed court proceedings. A consensus was reached between the Judicial Commission and the Supreme Court to strengthen their commitment to enhancing the capacity of judges and legal assistants in court monitoring and to consolidate efforts toward a comprehensive standardization of Supreme Court regulations for monitoring closed court proceedings.
