Abstract
The current criminal justice system in Indonesia does not have any guidance on excuses that can be done by judges. This is because there are only provisions on criminal acts and mistakes without including the objectives and principles of criminalization. Therefore many cases are not disconnected by public trust or punishment without regard to social values and material justice. Therefore, it is necessary to update the formula that can complement the legal deficiencies in Indonesia, namely the judicial pardon. The purpose of this study is to analyze the idea of judicial pardon in the penal system in Indonesia. Analysis of this research uses a comparative approach method. This means that this study examines all elements of the legal system in Indonesia that have a value of forgiveness in terms of culture, religion, and international comparison. As a result, it can formulate an acceptable and effective legal reform used in Indonesia. The result of this study found that there are five cultures and three values in a religion that has the concept of forgiveness. Also, seven countries have the authority of forgiveness in the courts of their country. In addition, there are 7 countries that have the authority to pardon in their courts. With the formulation of the idea of judicial pardon, it will make the criminal law system in Indonesia in the future more integral, flexible, humanist, progressive, and nationalist.
