Abstract

This study aims to criticize the articles in Indonesian prostitution law so that all parties involved can be trapped by law. This research is library research that is used as content analysis and applies a juridical approach that emphasizes the study of national law and human rights. The article critically revealed that there was a difference in the threat of criminal sanctions for prostitution which were considered unfair because the article on criminal law only ensnared certain parties, not all parties. And this is considered unfair according to the concept of human rights that should be protected by the government. The study argued that the law of prostitution in Indonesia is considered not following the ideology of the nation, especially the first and fifth precepts. It is, therefore, necessary to add wording in the article on criminal law so that all those involved in prostitution can be entangled under the law.
