Abstract
This study aims to determine the regulation of human rights in Indonesian legislation and the relationship between the criminal justice system and human rights. The research method used is the library research method, namely research conducted through collecting data or scientific papers aimed at research objects or data collection of a library nature, or studies carried out to solve a problem that is basically based on a critical and in-depth review of relevant library materials. The results of the study can be concluded that the basis for regulating Human Rights has been formulated in the articles in the Criminal Procedure Code (Law No. 8 of 2981) has presented updates in regulating Human Rights as regulated in the articles on the rights of suspects (Articles 50 to 68) as well as the existence of a Pretrial institution that provides a function for judges to supervise several implementers of coercive measures, such as arrests, detention, or termination of investigations and prosecutions. The protection of human rights in the Criminal Procedure Code also regulates the principles that support human rights such as the principle of the presumption of innocence, that every person who is suspected, arrested, detained, charged and or brought before a court, must be considered innocent until a court decision declares his guilt and obtains permanent legal force, and also indicates a very fundamental legal principle, namely the principle of equality before the law (APKDH) or known as equality before the law. Theoretically, since the investigation, prosecution and examination stages before the court, it has guaranteed and provided protection of human rights, including the examination of suspects/defendants who have an equal position with the examining official in legal standing, have the right to demand to be treated as stated in the Criminal Procedure Code. The implementation of human rights in the criminal justice system has generally been carried out in the investigation, prosecution and examination processes before the court. However, there are still violations committed by individual law enforcement officers
